what do you think of the psychology conditioning of a cult member?

how is religious addiction, spiritual abuse different from a drug problem?

if the person was dealing with a drug problem eating disorder, ptsd, emotional problem etc.

iam just wondering if jw's believe they are practicing their religion as christians of 2000 years ago.

would the early christians still follow some of the jewish traditions such as passover and other religous holidays?

jesus did die a jew ?

I helped someone leave the JWs...
by Jim_TX in
1. jw
2. experiences
here is s story that i can tell i had forgotten about this experience until recently, when i was remembering folks that i once knew who were jws.. we have to go into the waaay-back machine the year was about 1986 or 1987. my wife was/is a jw me i had drifted long before and was just trying to keep a low-profile.. i worked for a company and had been there for about 8 years, when the section i was in was beginning to expand.

they brought in one lady who was working the parts section, and would check in and out parts to the engineers and or technicians as needed.

it looked like this new gal after a while was swamped with work, and they still needed another person to help out.. my wife knew this woman and i had met her too who was a jw.

so yeah--i've been riding the same train of i'm-in-love-with-a-jw for about two years now.

i've said in previous posts (posted a long time ago) that he wanted me to convert.

he never said so out right but his habit of linking our conversations to the wt convinced me that it was important to him.. well, i tried to let everything drop for a long time and didn't really keep in contact.

although this is my first post under the name journey edge, i have been a member of the board for a few years now.

i just needed to change my identity to avoid being traced.

i left the truth a number of years ago after 20 years in the faith.

i like a woman who is a jw and im not; i know she has the same feelings for me as i do for her.

i would say im spiritual but not religious i would not take the bible word as literal truth like jw do.

do we have any chance of a relationship together?
