The gun is the SHUN: the JW's who no longer believe but cannot leave!

by Terry in

the insidious bind the watchtower religion places on their members is unconscionable.. holding family and friends "hostage" as an extortion strategy may be their most potent weapon of enforced conformity.. .

in effect, like an armed criminal who points a gun at you and threatens "your money or your life", the watchtower leadership.

holds the power to separate dissenting members from those whom they most cherish.

Well I took that gun right off them and shot my own foot. I'd rather be wounded and free than live like that.

dear friends,.

it has been a long time since i have posted.

time heals much pain, and finally, my family and i have been able to move on with our life outside of jw land.. many of you became our friends, our support system, and you know very well our exit story...we were labeled, slandered and disfellowshipped for having questions regarding the date 607. we sent out letters exposing the elders and circuit overseer to over 200 families.

Marvellous news. Do you know Lady Liberty you were the very first person I received a PM from here on JWN. This is what you wrote to me:

Dear Mickey Mouse,

Sorry I am just now replying to your message. I have been away from the forum for a while, and was shocked to see I had 8 missed messages. So now I am playing catch up. I am glad our story has been useful to you. Sometimes it's just nice to know you are not alone! Hang in there!

Sincerely,
Lisa/Lady Liberty

Thank you for updating your story.

Prediction in "Bible Teach" book is already a false prophecy

by hamsterbait in

they warn the person actually reading the book that they should heed their warnings of armageddon, as it "will come in your lifetime".

since they now pin it on the life of anybody who reads the book, only one of those who read it needs to die to prove them wrong.. if i die it didnt come in my lifetime neither!

don t these clowns really think about some of the stuff they print?.

Was anyone basically 'imprisoned' as a teen by JW parents?

by myusername in

so in my mid teens i finally refused to stop all jw activity naively thinking i may be able to live a more normal life.

(i was already taken out of school at 14.

) after this i wasn't allowed to go outside even a few feet in front of the door by myself.

Mickey mouse

Sort of but not as extreme as your situation. When I was 16 my parents didn't like me going out with someone so they made me split up with him and restricted my movements and dropped/picked me up at work so they knew where I was at all times.
