there are so many false religions around today that it is astounding.
if a person does not have a strong bond with god it is easy to fall prey to the devil's deceitful plans.

Real one
I personally don't believe any religion is perfect or the truth but some are worse than others in that they proclaim to be the truth or the way to salvation. Do you think being in a nondenominational church absolves you or excludes you from being labeled having False religious teachings.
I mentioned The Catholic Church because they have much blood on their hands throughout the centuries. The bilbe says "by their works you shall know them". I am sure there are many many religions that kill in the name of God besides the Catholics and Muslims. As a Catholic you seem to be able to do anything, murder, incest, molest children, adultry, fornication, steal etc and just go to confession and you will be in Gods good books until the next confession.
In my opinion you come across as very pious and self righteous which is kind of a turn off. It just doesn't seem humble to keep saying I am full of holy spirit and I have Jesus in me. I think it would be better to do practical things to help people rather than just say YOU have Jesus IN you. I am so turned off by anyone that spouts JESUS stuff and points at themselves as being Right and Righteous but have nothing to offer other than words and criticism.
By the way We don't know anything at all about you Realone other than your opinions. You haven't indicated what country you live in never mind if you are a man or a woman.
I mean no malice, just telling you how I see you.

What is your list of what is false religion? By the way maybe I missed it but what religion are YOU??? I assume you think its the right religion.
They say by their works you will know them!!!
So for sure on my list is those that do not show love or kindness, those that kill or who LIE!!
I don't know a lot about all religions but the ones I can say that don't have good works are:
JW's
Muslims
Catholic
Thats my 2 cents
i come here and read some of the posts.
i laugh so hard sometimes, well most times i cry cause i'm laughing so hard.
not in a mocking way.
I too am so happy to have found this site, and the people who share their laughter and their sorrow on it.
Its wonderful to be in a place where you can finally express yourself about this cult and the lies they have told us.
i know that most of you dont believe in the jw faith anymore, but do any of you think certain things might have went different for you if in a different congregation?
ive mentioned before that i believe in what the jws believe.
im asking this question though because ive been to a couple of congregations in different areas and ive found some to be more heartworming, more open, and happier than others.
Dazed and Confused
You hit the nail on the head when you said the following:
I remember going into a mode. I remember feeling my eyes glaze over and not hearing what the man said to me. But I do remember thinking while right in front of this man "I am just a salesperson."
I remember doing the same thing, and after I was out and tried to talk to my JW mother I noticed this same glazed over look she got. You don't even notice this usually unless you are on the outside looking in.

I do believe some congregations are more spiritually minded and or friendly than others. I was in one congregation when I got reinstated that had a very haughty bunch of overseers in it. I never saw such selfish and unloving people as in that congregation. It was near a big city and most of the people were well off. I moved to a smaller town shortly after and the people there were much nicer. BUT I soon discovered that it all comes out the same in the end because they are all clones and have their own problems which over ride them being able to help you when you need it. I left because I was not able to get spiritual and physical help, I didn't know about the Lies then.
I certainly would not stay in a religion for a minute that had so many demands as the JW religion if I knew for sure it was lieing about doctrine. Especially if I had know that prominent men in the org were molesting children and or covering up that men were doing this.
i got this in an e-mail from a childhood friend that is still an active jw.
i found it to be very upsetting and was wondering if anyone else gets the kind of e-mail forwards from friends/family that are still in?
and how you handle it.
I am gagging on that, I don't know what to say other than its so manipulative.
Yes, if we don't make the right choices with men or partners it will not turn out right no matter what religion we are in..
Many have chosen a JW partner and their lives were Hell, their husbands have molested their babies and beaten their wives.
Whoever wrote that did not see both sides of this.
Thanks for sharing that

we all know the wts has its own set of words and expressions that make them unique and sets them a part from other organizations.
lets see how many we can come up with.
i'll start.
we must be theocratic or we wouldn't know what words the "truth" users use,
I remember as a kid my Dad was the main elder or congregation servant as they called it in those day and this couple with some little children came into our town and phoned him and said they wanted to attend a meeting while they were in town. They did not use any of the JW jargon and were spotted right away for scammers looking for a handout. Which turned out to be true. The Language sets them apart and keeps them in control.
