JW's have always been different, controlling and fed loads of shit.
No other religion comes close.
i know that in the early days of the witnesses, they really stood out from other religions and shocked people with their thoughts.
this was a different time, a more conservative time, in which new ideas were often seen as trouble in a world that seemed to be doing just fine the way it was.
today though, despite their desire to seem different.

mincan has relatives visiting this week-end.
he is happy to see them but knows the problems associated with their visit will be hard to deal with.
you see, these relatives don't understand how difficult it is to come out of the cult and move on.
Mincan,
Hang in there bro.
Sending my love and Peace your way
the known universe is billions and billions of light-years across.
the entire universe may well be infinite.
in the midst of this incomprehensibly enormous cosmic canvas, there are galaxies like jewels in the dark, strung out across the void in a latticework of superclusters and great walls, a glittering spiderweb built on a scale the human mind is incapable of grasping.
thanks for sharing lol
here it is guys.
this is what darth frosty was talking about in his post the other day (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/149460/1.ashx).
this is a collection of confidential letters from the watchtower society that were sent to the bodies of elders in the years 1981 through 2006. these are the letters that you were never meant to see or read.. there's all sorts of information in them ranging from the boring and mundian to instructions about how to handle child molesters.. many thanks to darth frosty and others (who i'm not sure can be named) who worked very hard and took risks to collect and scan the information.
woo hoo
Well done - links won't work damn can't wait to read this.
i am very new to the site and i'm sure there is a learning curve, so please bear with me.
i have looked around a little and find the site very interesting and encouraging so far.
it is heartwarming to meet other people with questions or experiences who can relate them without needing to hide behind blatant negativity or automatic judgemental attitudes.
Hello Yomomma,
I am so glad you came here. A very big welcome. Leaving is one of the hardest things to do, many here including myself have done this and many are fading.
Yes it will be hard and life will suck big time but only initially. When you leave you will go through many emotions. I know I did. At times I felt I was addicted to this site, not
posting much but reading - oh so much to read. Then I felt lonely, lost and quite depressed - then all of a sudden you appreciate that you are no longer serving the borg, feel great and
don't care about the elders etc. Always let people here know when you're having a terrible day - they will lift you back up again.
Yomomma, I hope you find peace within yourself.
hello old friends,.
this is my first post in a long while.
just dropping in to say happy new year!.
Happy New year to you - make 2008 GREAT
email from a disfellowshipped jw: (b----- is talking to this person when she shouldn't be ..... ).
b------ just tex me and said she is dropping out of nursing school because the end of this system is so close and her life is more important.
they are making new arrangments in kingdom hall now.
I am so sick and tired of education not being important. This makes me so mad and sad.
So glad to be free of the slave.
i am now 31 and after leaving the "truth" in my teenage years i was plagued with anger towards the organization as well as christianity in general.
has anyone come to read the teachings of the buddha and found them a refreshing and eye opening insight into the nature of reality?
not long ago i picked up a book entitled "awakening the buddha within", and have found spirituality in a way that i could never find in the jehovah's witnesses organization.
Hey Welcome Port,
Not into any religion of beliefs at the moment, not sure if I ever will. Still healing from the WT crap LOL

hypocrates!
double standards!
it's ok to bribe public officials!
Yes how good is that book. It is very deep and can be disturbing, but it helps you realise the truth about the truth. When I left early in the year this was the first book of many that I read. I
agree with the above posts, definately read it twice, it seems to sink in better. I read the book in 48 hours as I couldn't put it down. My whole life stopped as I read this LOL
Very happy you found this book. Take Care of yourself emotionally, it is so important.
All the best
