I just can't do this anymore
by Awen indear friends:.
for years now after my exit from the wtbts i have searched for god.
as i have previously mentioned in other threads i looked into many other religions, including druidry, zen and tibetan buddhism (not really a religion), asatru, native american shamanism, kemetic orthodoxy, gnosticism and pandeism.

Prediction: Expect a change in Study Edition distribution
by baltar447 inafter all the hoopla over the "mentally diseased" stuff, i'm making a prediction.
i expect that the borg will stop distributing the koolaid wt online, at least to where anyone can download it.
i expect that they will require the jws to create logins and passwords to access the study edition, somehow tying that that back to what congregataion you're in and maybe even an elder approving that you attend.

Did YOU Actually Believe That You Would Never Die?
by minimus ineven though i was raised a witness, i was never convinced that the end would be in 1975 or even in my lifetime..

Yes, up until the generation change of '95. Thinking back that is when it changed for me.

by Band on the Run inany country that would obliterate freedom of religion, and even freedom of opinion, because of the witness article deserves no respect.
the way to counter opinions is in the court of public opinion.
caring what the witnesses say about you is to embrace them fully and perhaps be more enslaved to them than when you were in.

I say let the Witnesses hang themselves with their outrageous remarks.
The problem is, no one reads the Watchtower except apostates and some JWs. That's why we need the media to report it.

JW's - Hard to admit that much of life was a waste
by xelder infrom my observations, i think many (especially older) jw's hold through the stupid doctrinal changes because they can't admit the alternative.. i had wished the jw kingdom hope was true, i needed it to be true.
i'm 5th generation and my parents, grandparents, great grand.....ect needed it to be true.
i have watched many "faithful" relatives hang on and die disappointed.

Are we too JW centric?
by Mickey mouse ini realise that may sound like a stupid question on a jw forum but i was thinking about the events in the uk this week and i am wondering if we need to 'widen out our associations'.
it would be preferable if our efforts were directed not against the leadership of a single religion but towards raising awareness of the use of thought reform.
as things stand i am not aware of an effective way for us to communicate with ex cultists from other groups.
