  I REALLY DON'T CARE...............................

  by Warlock in

  2. beliefs

  i believe in god, but i also realize he may not exist.. if you don't believe in god, i really don't care, i'm just curious.. i don't have this need to start threads like "why you must believe in god", or other such nonsense, but some of you still have this "control" issue that you thought you left in the org.

  it seems like you must still try to control what others think.

  "think like me, or you are an idiot.

  BRAVO Raff! I may not agree with your theories, but I appreciate that you won't allow yourself to be treated like a doormat!

  Seeker4's Family's Sex Abuse by a JW Experience - and a Question.

  by Seeker4 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have written about this in the past, but not in recent years.

  i'll try to do this briefly.. from the age of 5 until he was 10, my oldest son was sexually abused by a 5-year-older, jw male cousin.

  my son stopped the abuse on his own when he was 10 by holding a knife on his abuser and telling him that he would kill him if the abuser ever touched him again.

  I am so sorry to hear of your family experience, your son though is blessed with parents who stood by him and supported him through this.

  How many people are on JWD right now ?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm curious to know how many people are logged on jwd at a given moment, like how many are logged on now.

  maybe simon knows.. .

  i'd say an average of 50 posters are logged on jwd right now....and probably an additional 100 more that aren't members that are reading here right now.. what's your guess?.

  Is JWD a healthy place to be for those who have left the Watchtower?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  everyday, that i read, write, think and talk about the watchtower society makes me think whether or not i have really left it for good.. .

  i fail to see the good in reliving the past in this way.

  the discussion board features individuals that have 3 to 6 years on the board and individuals who have left the organization more.

  Excellent post Jeff, your response to the letter said it all. Having left long ago physically, it too years to leave mentaly. The healing of the psychological spiritual abuse did not truly begin though until I joined this forum.

  I appreciate being here, reading members experiences and thoughts helps to put it all into perspective.

  so i was reading the "bro prince" thread, and one thing led to another.

  i found myself on the official jw website.

  i haven't actually read anything "official" for years.

  I totally understand where you are coming from, my head hurts too and my brain has reached exhaustion many times! Once one gets reading, one thing leads to another, and before you know it hours have gone by.

  It is truly wonderful though to be enlightened by the many thoughts, articles and postings read and pondered over.

  Why 6 Billion People Deserve to Die in Armageddon

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah is such a righteous, merciful, loving god -- slow to anger, overflowing with loving kindness and blessing.

  yet it somehow bothers many of you that he will shortly execute his judgment on mankind and wipe out 99.9% of the world's population, as if that somehow is supposed to conflict with his loving qualities.

  personally, i have no idea why many of you feel this way.
