  Damn it feels good to be free and on my own without the pressure to do more as a JW slave

  i don't know where to begin but damn it feels so good to be free of mind control.

  i'm only officially out since this past december but i was out mentally for two hot years under the close watch of my batshit crazy psycho parents who bothered me every sunday to see what i thought about the meeting.

  it was necessary for me to lie through my teeth.

  Do you still believe in God?

  i never thought i would admit it, but i don't.

  i might superstitiously have some kind of doubt but digging a bit deeper in my heart i really don't believe in god.

  as a human i could never just sit and watch people be tortured, live years of abuse, suffer from illness and disabilities and all the other awful things people have to endure day after day without doing something about it.

  What's the point?

  i mean, i don't want to be miserable or anything, but what's the bloody point of it all?.

  since i left the watchtower cult, i have come to realise that god cannot possibly exist...and if a god exists...god is indifferent to humankind as the least.. in 100 years time i'll be gone.

  kaput.

  there's no point certainly none for an unbeliever , but even no point for a believer in a 100 or so years I believe most contemporary groups/cults and sects that have their foundations from the 18th century onwards will cease to exist, their timelines and doctrines will completely run out or steam or have any credibility whatsoever, we hear it and see it written many times, "religion is a snare and a racket"

  OKAY, GAME OVER! The number one reason the New Testament amounts to bunk

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for me, the dead giveaway is this.

  jesus wrote nothing.. stop and think about that.. if jesus were the authentic messiah, his ministry would not simply be local.. his instructions, his mission, the details of his teachings would be too precious to risk leaving it in the hands of "men unlettered (illiterate) and ordinary (blue-collar yokels).".

  jesus, were he the one and only hope of mankind, would be absolutely certain to write down with great simplicity and specificity the exact owner's manual necessary to rescue mankind.. never happened!.

  something very symbolic making the memorial your very last meeting at a KH, it was mine, my fade started in 1992, I attended the 1993 memorial than the 1994 and almost walked out as it was starting and that was it, I never set foot in the place ever again.

  What TV shows were forbidden in your JW household?

  by Funchback in

  2. entertainment

  in the u.s., three's company was not allowed.

  it was explained to me that it was an immoral show because a man and women lived together and no one was married.

  the sister who gave this observation was a family friend and we were newbies to the religion.. at least i somehow managed to watch the benny hill show undetected..
