I watched the pilot episode of "Escaping Evil- My Life Inside the Cult" and was fascinated to see the Children of God and Family International had an eerily similar teaching to that of JWs when it comes to this.

Un-friending JW Facebook Friends-Therapy

i just can't live in the past anymore.

I had a JW friendly account and I just couldn't take all the governing body worship anymore. I deleted most of my JW friends including some relatives. The only ones I kept were the ones who had DF'd friends or who didn't constantly make me want to puke with their pro WT posts.

I love all the hilarious responses to this thread. But I'm going to go serious and say Joyce Meyer. I know, I know... but if I was forced to listen to a preacher she'd be the one I could tolerate the easiest.

"Hey, the press wants to say this happened in a church. Should we correct them and say we don't want to be lumped in with Christendom and that our buildings are called Kingdom Halls?"
"Um, no, in this case let's just let them call it a church. No need to be sticklers."

The link doesn't say she's a JW. But trust me on this.

I'm reminded too of a friend of mine who had a heart attack. He used to be very zealous for the WT but wised up. After the attack my father said, "Well maybe now he'll think about how he hasn't been active in service and regret it. Maybe he'll come back to the meetings."
I told my friend this and he laughed and said, "It's funny how people look at things differently. The heart attack made me realize that life is short and I wish I hadn't wasted so many years pioneering!"

I was thinking recently about why I hate the Watchtower Study so much. What is it about it that feels so negative and evil?
A study article may have a title referring to joy or love but the thrust of the article isn't going to be about that at all, it's only going to be about negative emotions like fear and guilt.
The publishers end up feeling picked apart, beaten down, and suspicious of each other. It is truly disgusting and no way to live at all!
If you want positivity and practical suggestions on love and peace you're going to have to look elsewhere. The Watchtower is nothing but a depressing mindf*ck.
