I've held an 18 week fetus in my hands and let me tell you it was a human through and through, abortion is the deliberate murder of another human being.

Have you changed your mind about ABORTION?
by nicolaou ini'm not after a discussion on the rights or wrongs on abortion, what i'm asking is whether or not your views have evolved over time.. perhaps leaving the watchtower was enough to allow your true feelings on abortion to find expression.
maybe abortion is one of those subjects where you still find yourself in agreement with your old jw self.
did becoming a mother change your perspective in any way or solidify your views?.

I HAVE MADE A DECISION TO LEAVE
by Maddie ini haven't been on jwd for the last few days as my good friend had her mum die suddenly and i have been spending time just being there for my friend.. i was shocked and saddened to hear that trevor and linda was a sham.
it's sometimes hard not to become cynical with life and not trust anyone when this sort of thing happens.. i have made a big decision and i hope that i don't live to regret it.
i have posted that i have been trying to "fade" as my son and his family are jw's and i don't want to lose them because of being shunned.

Hi Maddie,
I admire your integrity, being true to yourself can be difficult, as raymond franz said some people go through their whole lives without ever facing a true crisis of conscience. You never know, your brave act might make your son think.
I made that descsion myself some time ago and it's the best thing I've done for a very very long time. As someone said on this board I'd rather have questions I can't answer than answers I can't question.
Hope that helps.
God Bless
David.

Sorry, I gotta borrow this topic from another site.... Some answers please.
by NotaNess inwhy do jws have the memorial anyways?
they preach that jesus said , do this until i return.
the jws say he returned in 1914, so what gives here anyway?

He returned invisibly. Soon he will return and the whole world will see him (or something like that)
In reality the memorial is a mind programming tool to emphasize to the rank and file that a small number of the elite are running the show.

Excellent story, maybe they will change this policy if they realise it would suit their agenda. Making enemies intent on destroying you is not good for business.

Do You Have A Goal Regarding Jehovah's Witnesses???
by minimus innow that you're mentally out of the religion, do you have an expressed goal regarding the witnesses?
do you want to expose the religion for the fraud that it is (like i do)?.
do you want to set up a ministry devoted toward the destruction of everything watchtower?.

I see some longtime posters here that regularly contribute helpful info for struggling exjws. I don't think one must "forget" the past in order to move on positively.
Good point.

At the moment I want to help as many people as I can to get out and try to counter some of the destructive impact the WT has had on the people I know. This actually helps in my own healing.
Going forward, one day I hope to be able to forget all about the WT. Not very likely as my wife's family are all witnesses.
However I don't think it is healthy to obsess too much about them, everyone needs to move on at some point, wanting vengence and trying to destroy the WT for years on end has to be bad for your pysche and can be self destructive as we have recently seen.

millions now living will never die [ or did they]
by jacethespace ini just cant understand why the watchtower still holds to this convention from 1933, that millions now living will never die.my nan was born in 1925 and shes in her late 80s.so who was the watchtower refering to when they said that they would never die.it coudnt have been people who were middle aged back then or older.and i cant believe they were just talking to people between the ages of 7-20 or so either that wouldnt fit the " millions " hype.yet its still refered to today in meetings and in the revelation book as a very important event.

Prisoners of the WT cult
by Maddie ini wanted to research more on cults and the mind control techniques they use.
if i had any doubts (which i haven't) that the wt uses these highly sophicated techniques, then i certainly wouldn't now!!!!!!.
as we have had a thread asking why people don't leave the wt when they know that it has major flaws, i thought it would be beneficial to explore how powerful these methods of control are.

When it comes to cults, the Watchower ticks every box and then some. My own research in to this and the subliminal images in the literature has led me to believe it is deeply satanic. To be honest it gives me the creeps. I won't have any literature in the house now.
Love the poem. I think the writing is on the wall for them but it will be a slow bleed rather than a dramatic blow out.

have you found it difficult?
by 4digitcode into make friends since you're out of the organization?
maybe these things take time.
it's hard to establish new friendships when ones i had for years floated away in an instant.

The-Borg
4digit, it can be very lonely. My wife and I are in the same boat, she has been a witness all her life and all her family are witnesses. We are also moving away to a new town so we don't have to keep seeing and being seen all the time. Its like starting all over again.
We'll both be at the London get together, hope to see you there.
Regards David.

So that's what the other shoe looks like. Update with my parents
by Paralipomenon inheading to the apostafest this weekend, we have made a deal with our friends to look after our kids.
given that they already have 3 children, adding 3 more could be stressful so we thought we would ask my parents if they wanted to take one overnight.
bobbi mentioned that she hadn't really heard much from my mom and suspected something was up.
