  Witness "Terminology"

  by Rubens in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i find it interesting reading posts from ex-witnesses or those that are slipping away and yet the terminology is still brain-washed into us.

  i mean, i've managed to stop using the terms myself.

  sometimes i might catch myself using the term "the truth" or "brother" or "sister", but i quickly correct myself.. the fact is for me, as much as i agree with a lot of their values and beliefs, those people were not my "brothers and sisters" nor was the organization "the truth".

  Why do KH's not have any windows?

  what is the real reason why kingdum halls don't have windows?

  to people on the outside looking in that is just too wierd and very cult like like they have something to hide.

  wasn't in the 80's when they started to build them without windows?

  Well now I'm just angry

  i just read blondies wt review and it made me angry.

  how can the society continue to place more importance on pioneering than getting an education or getting a good job?

  why do these men insist on making young ones (and even older members) feel bad for wanting to have a secure future, what the hell is wrong with not wanting to live in a tent?

  Shunned at Walmart

  by Grammy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the greeter was a woman i once called friend and who (unfortunately now) was baptized after studying with me for a year.

  when i walked in i was the only one coming through the door so it's not like she didn't see me, she turned away and ignored me...not wanting to lower myself to her level i simply got a shopping cart and went about my shopping, my first instinct was to report her to management for dereliction of duty but i thought better of that because my doing so would show her it upset me.

  i really owe her a debt of gratitude because it was at her baptismal talk that my first strong doubt that it was the truth finally penetrated my foggy brain, as i sat and repeated the baptismal questions to myself at the assembly when she was being baptized i realized they were not the same ones i answered in 1974, that started me on my journey out of the org.

  Anyone Else from Canada?

  2. experiences

  i'm really intrigued by that fact that i may know some of you and yet not know that i know you.

  i just want to know how many people from canada are here.

  if you don't mind and don't care about posting your province (cause i'm too timid to) we could all get an idea of just how many canucks are really out there.
