  Why the hell do I have this pathetic life?

  by Nicolas in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i' so tired of this.

  sometime, i'd just like to say goodbye cruel world but, it would be too easy to do this.

  when i was in the borg, they were telling me that when someone go out of the org, he have a lot of problems and that's exactly what happen to me.

  Proof of the "historical" Jesus...

  by simwitness in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  been wondering about this lately.... what proof (outside the bible, of course) do we have for the "historical jesus"?.

  in my earlier days (post jw to "born again christian") i remember reading that the one thing that differentiates christianity vs. "all the others" was that we had secular historical proof that there was a man that was called jesus, who died on a cross and was resurrected.

  now i am wondering just what that proof is/was?

  i would love to chat with some of you from washington.

  especially if you've been a part of the jw's for awhile and left or were df'd.

  i know a few of my friends who were df'd but i've lost contact with them.

  What an evil parent I am eh?

  by dmouse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, i often shared with benjamin the things i learned through this board, not just the serious stuff, but also some funny fluff.

  but most importantly what i've learned about human nature - ex-jws are, in the main, just ordinary people like him and me.

  although some of you are extraordinary (in a nice way!).

  i just discovered this place tonight.

  i've been out of the "truth" (haha) for about 12 years and had no idea there were such places like this.

  i'm sure that this could have helped me through my 5 year post df depression.

  Ever straight out lied to the elders faces?

  by MarchOn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did you ever get busted for something that you really did do when you were a dub and get hauled in, just to sit there and deny what you were brought in for?

  and then feel really good and not quilty when you pulled it off because they believed you?

  by Xander in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ...some ancient wisdom this way comes?

  pulling over from another thread.... i'm curious how many have dabbled in witchcraft/spiritism after leaving the jws.

  or, perhaps, before joining.. i'm curious what experiences have been had.

  Prejudice

  by Elders_Kid in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it would seem to me that an organization that preaches so strongly about brotherly love could be so prejudice.. i have been d/f for just about seven years, and it wasn't until a couple of years ago that this occured to me.

  remember how we couldn't spend time with people from school because they were "bad association"?

  or you werent supposed to spend too much time with "worldly" relatives because they might be a bad influence?.

  Does Anyone Remember.....

  by Cassiline in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was a member of a hall in pa not far from bethel as a child and teen.

  there were trips scheduled every couple months to bethel for the sisters to meet the brothers there.

  we would stay in a hotel couldn't tell you the name now but the society had some ties to it because the room rates were only a couple dollars per night.
