as i look back at my life as a dub, now that i have my eyes open, sometimes i really feel like a fool, because some of the things we believed are just dumb, shows the power of fear and mind control.
Gary,
Amazing work. That is definitely the "truth" in a nutshell. Very confusing to the average person....almost explainable by a special pioneer who is an elder and missionary, of the 16th generation of dubs in their family, and they've never missed a meeting or ever been DF'd or reproved...you know, the perfect dub. Maybe that JW could almost explain it.

I personally don't see a need to change your name. But it's up to you. The Rabbit will be fine I'm sure.

Don't feel like a fool, Dude. They are experts at this mind game. They are subtle, deceitful, angels of light just like the satan they describe. We were all taken advantage of and raped. In a way, we are like the children that the members of the WTS molest. We were naive and trusting. We were abused by someone that said they loved us and threatened not to tell...silenced by disfellowshipping and shunning. Some of us share the feeling afterward that WE did something wrong....that it was OUR fault. But it isn't! We are victims...and the trauma is real!

it's been about two weeks since i came here.
i've been having a lot of depression and nightmares concerning my family and the jws.
ghastly visions of bloody mayhem and mutilation, not only of me, but also my husband and my little dog.
((((((((((((((((((((Tammy)))))))))))))))))))))
I too had the nightmares and mourning when I first left the WTS. Nightmares of being out of control...of being shunned. My dreams reflected the chaos and power struggle of good vs evil that I pondered every day. I feared for my life during storms. I determined that if the end came and I was still a dub then Jah would destroy me anyway b/c he knows our hearts and would know that I only served as a dub to get into paradise. So I decided that since I would be destroyed anyway, I might as well enjoy the rest of the only life I'd get.
I was wrong. I finally stopped believing in the lies that the WTS preaches. READ as much as you can b/c this helps you learn about their lies. This is what has helped me get over thinking they were right. I now enjoy thunderstorms and I don't fear dying. I enjoy my life free from the requirements and restraints of that aweful cult.
Celebrate your freedom, Tammy. Enjoy life to the fullest everyday!!

Here, here! Hail the arse holes! Hail, brimstone, fire,....whatever gets the job done.

So, I go away for a few days and I now see somebody is trying to encroach on my moniker!
WARNING: The poster posting under "dustbunny" is NOT me! In fact, I'm not entirely miffed about this, but I'm a little annoyed that somebody chose to use a name to close to mine...this will cause confusion, in fact, I noticed that in one thread somebody (Animal, I think?) refered to dustbunny as "dustrabbit"....So, dustbunny, I think you might want to clarify that you are not me...
the ORIGINAL Dustrabbit

so how many here were pioneers?
ha ha ha.
i used up my teenage years pioneering, good thing i didn't go to college or university i could be well educated and in a good job.poo.
I aux pioneered continuously starting the month after I got baptized. Then in 1999/2000 I regular pioneered. Loved it some days, hated it others. I had a severe heart condition which required surgery in 2001 so I was able to get off the list and escape the WT.
