I just think that one day it will be their downfallbecause they are showing their true colours more and more as time goes by. They are very, very worried it seems to me.

41New " Witness Only " Watchtower - Even More Controlling - Check this Out
by flipper init had been 5 years or more since i even read a watchtower article after exiting the witness cult in late 2003. but i was curious to see if the new " witness only " watchtowers were more controlling than i remember them being 5 years ago.
and it certainly opened my eyes to the extreme control.
when you have been away from it - you can really see the difference !

WHAT if we're wrong?
by shell69 ini mean, i know i'm bitter.. normally these days quite strong, not feeling so much so much the last few days though.. what i'd give to do the things i was used to.
going doing the weekly shop with my mum, her popping round for a brew in the morning.. a hug from her, just to to know from the way she communicated with me, that she loved me.
i miss her so much.. and what if i'm wrong?.

Hi shell Its just human to question ourselves, even when we are quite sure of the facts about things. In your heart you know that the WT are a mind control cult so sleep on it and these feelings will pass. It is so very hard when we are estranged from our family and sometimes I wish with all my heart that the WT were the "real thing", just so as I wouldn't have these problems. You have been true to yourself and that is something to respect yourself for honey.

if your considering the memorial tonight, read this!
by burningbridges injust because i know it won't be read tonight, anyone who is going to the memorial this evening should seriously consider john chapter 6:53-57 before hand.
go ahead, research it in your little watchtower cd's... they will attempt to explain it away in with it's "broader" meaning and not its "literal" application.
the truth is apparent to anyone with open eyes, jesus instructed anyone who wanted to have a relationship with him to participate in communion, (yes you do need to evaluate your heart as 1 corinth 11:27-29 says, but this was not told to prevent you from partaking if you were not "annointed" it was said to make sure you knew the seriousness of your relationship with christ) the verses in john were not told to annointed ones, they were told to a crowd of jews, the "john class", the "other sheep".

burningbridges - Yes I did the above and I did accept Jesus's invitation tonight, but not at the JW Kingdom Hall. I met with a few others at the home of one of them.

I come for the reasons other posters have given, but mostly because true understanding and compassion is only possible from those who have the same painful experiences. I have found compassion on JWD and it has given me hope and strength, especially at my darkest times. Thank you posters I love you all!

Who lets it be known that they were once a JW?
by lfcviking ini am curious, for those of us here who have left the jw org, who actually lets it be known to people that they were once a practicing jw.. for me, this is something i tend to keep quiet because it is something i'm not particularly proud of.
anyone else feel the same way?.
lfcv.

I don't go around broadcasting it but if it comes up or my experience will be of help or beneficial then I tell people about it.

Some posters seem very clever and knowledgeable and I don't think I am like that, but I try to be encouraging and give advice from my own experiences.

Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT stupid!
by nicolaou inafter several years 'out' i can't be the only one who still gets a bit pissed off to hear 'oh so clever' apostates slagging off jw's for being dumb, stupid and worse.
grow up!
the beliefs of jehovah's witnesses are certainly stupid but then i'd say the same for all christian belief just as many of you might condemn my atheistic, evolutionary postion as being nonsense.

No the JW's aren't stupid. It is so much more than having to do with intelligence because of the mind control involved.
