  strawberry cake

  I remember way back to my first visit to a Kingdom hall. I didn't enjoy it. I found the people reserved and somewhat odd. There was no provision for the children and the singing was bad. I noticed that their smiles didn't reach their eyes.
  
  Yet somehow I was brainwashed into thinking this was a spiritual paradise.
  
  I thought after baptism that I loved pioneering...but it was meeting people in the community that I loved.
  
  I alway felt the brothers put too much pressure on pioneers to make their hours. My sister had cancer and I still felt this immense pressure to still make my hours at the same time as visiting her.
  
  I made some friends. I became close to whole families and watched their children grow up, even if they never came to a meeting or more.
  
  I enjoyed the sisterhood of the preaching work. I had, I thought real sisters in my fellow pioneers, but they have all stopped calling)
  
  I can see now that I was brainwashed ...because, to the awake me, the whole things is one big drag.

  I wonder about this myself.
  
  I feel that they will say the troubles imminent in the Organization is the start or part of the great tribulation. (The world turning on Jehovahs People)
  
  The JWs will blame Satan and the 'apostates' and not see the sinister manipulation by the GB.
  
  A lot of people will not notice their strategic fade.
  
  The rank and file JWs will then be abandoned... then have to face the realization that they had been fooled and then betrayed.
  
  Then for some, depression and suicides will follow.
  
  Others will become like us and try to move on and try to get past the bitterness.

  The Revelation book?

  by Layla33 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just came back from a weekend visit with my parents and i noticed this book all over - it gave me a bad feeling for some reason.

  now, i only came after the book study was over since they have it at their house, so that's another reason why it was probably left out.

  however, i consider this apocalyptic cult a concern and one of the reason i scan on here from time to time is to keep to date on what is going on.

  This book is an abomination to any thinking (post brainwashed) person. What is written in it 'beggars belief'.

  Elder calling around

  by Am ha·’a'ret in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm a new member as i've not completely left the org yet and being a "good lil jw" would never have looked at a site like this previously!

  there is one elder in the cong who calls around every so often to "chat" as i only stopped attending meeting a couple of months ago.

  i've spoken to him about certain subjects - eg the un thing and the misuse of quotes - but he has no useful answers for me.

  dress and grooming and generation

  by Ladyecaramel in

  iam ticked off.

  during the watchtower lesson about the genration change i feel that it should have been given at least an entire watchtower lesson to cover and not just 1 or 2 paragraphs.

  we have been taught one way for so long and then all of a sudden its changed but not thoroughly covered.

  It's time to ask questions? I did and found out that the organization is one big lie. It's a cult that wants to control you in every way. Taking away you're individuality and freedom of thought.
  
  You'll get a lot of support here.You'll need it.

  i'm new to the forum.

  i've been lurking for some time, since i was "disconnected" by my husband, "tooktheredpill".

  i'm a 3rd generation witness, and still inside of the borg, because all my family is inside.

  Welcome!
  You will get a lot of support here. I left just months ago after realizing that the Organization was not the 'truth'.I left with my husband and youngest son. We are so much happier. The transition isn't easy...but knowing others agree and know what you are going through is a BIG help.

  this may not be my dumbest moment, but i'm sure it ranks pretty high.

  when i was a young kid, we had a swimming pool.

  i used to swim just about every day after school.
