Are we suffering from a victim mindset?

by DT in

i don't want to be disrespectful or cause needless disputes, but there are some thoughts that have been bugging me.

i have to wonder why former members aren't doing more to combat the power of the watchtower society.

of course, i realise that some have made great contributions and others have to first make their own healing process a priority.

if you've clicked around on other sites, you can find the troubling picture i grew up with from the old orange paradise lost book.

a big old armageddon earthquake that is swallowing up people, churches, a bicycle, a dog!

) and of course, a little girl in a dress that is indelibly planted in my memory chips.

Did you think your life was over as you knew it? Were you sure?

i knew, and i am beginning to think i was right.

several shrinks and therapists later, and i realize that my entire life structure is not only gone, but it was a farce in the first place.

how do you cope with that?

Alex Delta

Hey oompa you've got a friend here in Illinois too and I'm sure most on this forum as well.

There little people or those that are gravitationally challenged but never call them midgets. I got kicked in the shin ounce by one of them when I grabbed his cheeks and called him cute midget, round house right to the shin, who would've known 5th degree black belt.

SPOKE AT A CHURCH LAST NIGHT.......

by Sunnygal41 in

the topic: jehovah's witnesses, harmless religion?

there were a small group of ex's that had been invited by a local church to speak of their experiences as jehovah's witnesses..............god it felt sooo good to tell about the unbiblical practices of shunning and disfellowshipping, of the cult mentality and the wounds so many ex's carry from the legalistic mentality and behavior.

the two books crisis of conscience and in search of christian freedom were shared with all present..........about 30 to 40 people.

Thankyou Sunny.

My first panic attack

by freedomfighter in

guess where my first panic attack occurred?

at the kindom hall of course.

i was 14yrs old and thought i was being "possessed by a demon".. panic attacks became more common, and at the age of 18 i was diagnosed with "panic disorder with depression".

Alex Delta

I've had about 10 panic attacks 4 in which has brought me to the hospital from the ages from 7 to 20 most doctors were confused. We had so many different diagnosis’s that I should still be in that plastic bubble they wanted to put me in. Those panic attacks are not very nice are they? My uncle at 26 had a heart attack on his second panic attack. Wouldn’t you know it, it was around the time he was kissing so much bleep as a M.S.. But the good news was couple months later he becomes an elder.

When is it going to crash?

by Alex Delta in

i see allot of people here that is in the know i mean really in the know and am very great full for being in these discussion with you all.

since this is such a large subject to us all and all have different strong points in it, im sure we can come up with some form of hypothesis when this organization is going to implode on its self or when its about to but before it does it bails last minute by changing some doctrine around so it doesnt completely fall but keep enough for them to survive again for it to rebuild, as theyve done so many times in the past.

history for some reason tends to always repeat it self, i truly believe its about that time.

History for some reason tends to always repeat it self, I truly believe it’s about that time. My guess is 3 years for some twist of there doctrine, 4 years for the other huge loss of members.

How many JW's are having doubts?

by Mickey mouse in

i wonder what percentage of current jw's know it's not the truth but have too much invested to get out?

more importantly, how many of the gb know but have no where else to go?.

anyone care to hazard a guess?.

Alex Delta

The recruiting rate is much faster than its rate of loss. The state of loss is about in the 40% range. I’d think most of the Jdubs know something’s up. So yea for those that are just in the know, for sure upper 80’s, but they're like rabbits when it comes to enlistment. When will it slow up or fade is my concern.

Wow, the year is 2008, and still no Armageddon!

by Nosferatu in

every time we enter a new year, i think about how i wasn't supposed to make it this long.

i really believed we wouldn't live past the year 2000, and armageddon would change everything.

it almost strikes me as living on borrowed time, but then i remember that armageddon is a story, not a reality.

Alex Delta

2012, that’s when it’s going to happen, the Mayan calendar, Nostradamus, and Einstein says it. Not that I believe in this, but if it’s anytime for it to happen, 2012 is it.
