i am so sorry that all you have for a future history
with you beloved pippy are the anniversaries of
her dying and the events she is not there to see...
knowing something of your pain...
godspeed you to a place of manifest comfort
.
i started a topic like this about 4 years ago but, as you'd expect, most of the images no longer show so here we go again .
.
so i know many of you guys say the best way to show dubs is to be all happy and all when you exit.....but not all of us are doin that well at it....even though i have lost all friends from my dub life....i really dont want to lose my son and folks....this would happen if i end this odd and painful arrangement of a marriage to a really wonderful wife who is hardcore jw.
my desire for freedom and normal social life, and the 800 lb gorilla in the room we live with are not doing so well...........i am tired of having to leave the house and go in the garage to talk on the phone with my non-dub friends.....tired of totally separate social lives.......tired of rules in place that prevent us from speaking about certain taboo topics with each other........my mental/emotional state is not well and has not been for four years.
so i spoke with my dad very openly and honestly about how i have had to wear "masks" through life....one for school since third grade to fit in....another for my parents and jw friends........and that now i still lead a double life when not around my wife........told him outright i feel jws meet every single definition of a cult btw.......he already knew i felt that way but had never said it so directly........i asked him if he felt history repeats itself and could fds not be just like the scribes and pharisees that made so many rules for gods people that they had actually corrupted gods message............he said he has wondered that before too.
fight the impulse to be impulsive
even if you sail around the world, mate,
no matter where you go, there you are...
changing geography just means you have
troubles in a different time zone
like they already said, find your center
and then go do your bucket list
and for the record:
i call BS on your dad's "no choice" choice...
he has a choice, just lets some old wankers
in suits make it for him.....
last week a student doing her masters in journalism contacted me about doing an interview re ex-jws.
i agreed to talk to her.
and she and a couple of others will be coming to record the interview.. she is interested in what it is like to leave the jws and knows it is a cult.. boy have i a lot to tell.. she found me through the meet up website for ottawa ex-jws.. i don't think it will be a long interview.
cool! a running commentary!
send them to JWRecovery magazine too....
lots of exJW commentary to be had there as well
when a witness checks this site out, they could think it's a jehovah's witness friendly site.
the fact is this site is for anyone interested in jehovah's witness things, whether they are still witnesses or once were or just want to know about witness life.. what positive ways can we help a witness on this site?.
if there is a thread started by an active/apologist JW
and you dont wish to read the blather, dont read the blather!
not gonna be a whole lot of free minds dissuaded from their
chosen enlightenment, regardless of how much noo lite TM is being generated by the b0rg... so reject the impulse to engage
instead, start a counter thread, mebbe
if there is a comment by an active/apologist JW on YOUR thread
and it goes off-topic, call it what it is but dont become overinvested
because for many struggling to STAY IN, all they will hear is blah blah blah
apostate blah blah... ( kinda like b!tching at a smoker..... they see your
lips moving but can only hear static)
someone arrested on a plane for preaching the bible.. who would be so stupid so as to quote the bible incessantly to the person sitting next to him?
then refusing to let the passenger get up from their seat until they finished preaching, so as not to acquire blood guilt?
and finally going beserk when he refused to stop, biting another passenger?.
sounds like a tranquil version of the jesus screechers
that carry PVC pipe crosses and bellow thru megaphones
at all the pride events.... love to see a few of them under arrest
"the way of the truth is the best way of living.. no better way can there be found.".
remember that?
it's the opening line to 'make the truth your own'.
winston churchill said it like this:
A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject
sound like a JW to anyone besides me?
"the way of the truth is the best way of living.. no better way can there be found.".
remember that?
it's the opening line to 'make the truth your own'.
point #3 is the absolute rebuttal to that
idiotic drivel that the b0rg offers the best
way of life there is
we know too many tragic stories about the
ruined lives that are in the wake of that
heinous cult and the blind unthinking loyalty
to its declaration of sole possession of the Truth TM
that thing about calling your mom hypocritical
because of her unthinking allegience?
you really hankering to open that ugly can of worms?
