exposure in high doses of radiation can destroy the lining of the stomach and allow bacteria from the intestines to invade the bloodstream, resulting in sickness.

Awake= "Playstation Games like playing with Radioactive waste!!"

by Witness 007 in

awake 2008 jan.p.19 "choosing to play violent and immoral games is like choosing to play with radioactive waste.

the damaging effects may not be immediatley obvious, but they are inevitable.

exposure in high doses of radiation can destroy the lining of the stomach and allow bacteria from the intestines to invade the bloodstream, resulting in sickness.

Blast you old men! Blast you and you're superior reasoning, you're smart beyond your years! Me not too bright, but sound good to me. Me throw out video game pong, stay home, pray to jehovah, or me get cancer and be bad. Watchtower guys good, me bad. Me very very bad. Me try to think more innteligentt like watchtower guys and make good reaasonung, lik yew guys. Thank you watchtower. Thank you jehovah. thanks satan for being so bad that you can be in video games and jehovah show me it bad. Cancer is bad. My cat got cancer and she's sleeping now. Jehovah won't resurrect her, because she's not nice enough to play with cobras. so remember, jehovah good, video gums bad, satan bad, got to watchtower study, go in service, be smurt.

When you left how long did it take you to get out of the JW mind set ??

by karter in

how long before something happened (i:e 9/11) before you stopped thinking the big a was coming??.

i read 7 news papers a week it took me a long time to read about some big bad event without thinking this is it the big a is about to happen now i read it for what it is.. what about you.

It took me about 3 years. You go through the phases really slowly, but they do go. I never thought that I would say it but even my friends who still talk to me who are trapped because of marriage, guilt, etc. I just don't have the time of day for. When you're mind is truly freed from that nonsense you do come around - just be patient, and work through the feelings.

Look at it this way - if armageddon did come, would you really want to live forever with those nitwits? I don't believe in hell, but friend, that would be worse than the hell we live in right now. Just think about those idiots and they're judicial comittee's, gossipping, etc. for eternity, and you having to worry. And we'll all be walking around naked playing with lions and cleaning up they're crap. Whatever....

My first visit to the Kingdom Hall

let me just start off by saying wow.

never thought the day would come i'd see myself write that kind of title.

so, you may or may not remember me from my post a few weeks ago about my ex-jw g/f from europe wanting to see what a meeting was like in the states.

Don't feel bad about them making you feel like you're standing out. They're some of the most socially intraverted and socially retarded people around. (not a slur against persons with developmental disabilities - everyone take a big breath, relax...)

This thread needs a bump. Everyone raised in 'the truth' should really read a kingdom hall visit is really like.

Could an active JW read this without blinking?

by besty in

i'm not a big fan of huge ^c^v (cut and paste) posts but here goes..... i found this when i googled 'jehovahs witness landmark forum' - thats another post why i was doing that... http://www.ex-cult.org/general/identifying-a-cult takes about 3 minutes to read.... my question is 'could a jw read this and not even think 'is that us?''.

identifying a cult

there has been much confusion about cults and how to 'pickem'.

Actually, JW's are considered to be a high control group by most psychologists and psychyatrists. Not a lot of difference, but there ya go.

Need Your Opinions: Public speaking training on resume?

by feenx in

jw
friends

like many ex dubs my education stopped after h.s.

in today's job market that can pose certain challenges.

though i have plenty of industry experience to show, the research i've done shows regardless of what it is, employers look to what education history is listed.

shamus100

I'd never ever put that on my resume. Never. But that's just me. I'd probably never hire someone who had that on they're resume either, but there's my biased self coming through.

Stupidest thing a JW ever told you

by Nosferatu in

jw

what is the stupidest thing a jw ever told you?

we all know that they say a lot of stupid things, but what really topped the cake?.

for me, it was an elder telling me i was progressing really well when my meeting attendance was down and my field service hours were slipping.
