  Yet Another Dub Uban Legend...

  by brinjen in

  2. beliefs

  during the eighties i remember hearing that our then prime minister robert hawke (also an athiest) said if he was ever going to join a religion, it would be the jehovah's witnesses as "they made the most sense.".

  anyone else hear of this one?

  Not heard that one but I've often wondered whether the "Prince Charles is a magazine route" story was yet another JW urban legend.

  Why does guilt often remain so long with those who've left the JWs?

  by And He Ran in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i would be interested in getting people's input in why so many jws - including me from time to time, though less so now - seem to be burdened by guilt after they've left, even after they've successfully faded and aren't being hassled by family or elders.

  is it a residual leftover of the indoctrination over the years?

  i welcome your comments.

  Maybe because you haven't addressed the problems resulting from the mind control you were under? It's so effective you didn't even realise it was happening.

  Hello everyone! New here. Born into it....ugh.

  where to start?.

  i thought about typing out a nutshelled life history but changed my mind.

  suffice it to say, i was born into "the truth," attempted suicide at 14, "lost my faith" at this time, beat into submission into carrying on as usual, endured a horrible marriage and equally horrible divorce, and am more or less still in it (appearances only!

  Do you think the Society has spies on sites like this?

  by easyreader1970 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  not that any of them would post, but do you think that they have people who they secretly have visit anti-jw sites and forums like this just for the purpose of seeing what people are saying about them and what their current members might stumble upon?.

  if you google jws, the first couple are official, the next two are wikis, then you have an anti-jw site and then there's this one.

  any current or potential member that is looking for more information than is published by the wbts will be directed to these sites.

  I wouldn't be surprised if they offered Simon a HUGE amount of money for the domain name.

  Steve Hassan's book...

  ...i just finished reading it.

  wow!

  the only downside for me is that he talks a lot about how important it is to connect with the pre-cult personality.

  i have come to the crossroads where something has to give.

  i no longer enjoy visiting any xjw forum.

  i have to pull myself away from the negativity or else i will implode from within.

  Good for you. Looking back over the history of this forum, it seems that most people stay until they're ready to move on and then leave. It's a natural progression.

  Yep. We had one elder who had a thing for young girls. Once you got to a certain age you were out of favour (around 20).

  The End of Circuit Overseers

  by scotsman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is indeed apparently nigh as another poster predicted along with the end of the weekly bs.

  not sure when this should take place but i'm reliably informed by a family member that one of the uk's overseers was talking about it fairly recently.

  reduced to weekend visits by an outside but local elder instead.. i have no further info..

  Like any company the middle management are always the first to go in tough times.

  If they are indeed getting rid I can't see them dragging it out to September 2009. It would be the end of the year or maybe this September. You know how companies put people on garden leave when they can't afford them making a stink on the way out? Imagine what even just one or two disgruntled C.O's could accomplish. Besides, how would they stay motivated if they knew it would be all over next year?
