  From innocent to...

  by mind my own in

  2. experiences

  how many of you initally checked out this site for completely innocent reasons?

  just stumbed across it and couldnt' stop reading, or to see what was being read with the intent of setting us or someone else in your life straight?

  then b/c of what you read you could no longer buy into the whole jw fraud and left the org or are in the process of leaving?

  Like many others I came here researching JW's after I began seeing thru the borg. I left the religion and it caused marital rifts. I found this site and posted and had a tremendous response to my issues and have been here every since.

  it's been almost 3 years since i've become inactive.

  my inactivity was due to a divorce.

  i finally awoke to the fact i was in an abusive and non working relationship and i got out.

  State Truthful Facts About JWs That Make Them Look Bad, Weird, Foolish

  by minimus in

  2. beliefs

  you don't need to exaggerate the foibles of jws to get the point across that they are not "the truth".

  can you state some facts that show that jehovah's witnesses are not "normal' and that their religion is weird and simply abnormal?.

  lyrics and melody by pearl jam.. the music may not be for everyone, but i recognized myself in the lyrics.. .

  i'm starting to believe it's your plan all along.

  New video showing inside of Brooklyn Headquarters

  by Shepherd Book in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, this is nothing terribly scathing or impressive, but i thought i would upload some of the footage i shot while on tour at bethel.

  at the time, i was volunteering to work there, so i received a slightly more in-depth tour than the kind they give people who just show (like on bus tours).

  i shot some footage of a video talking about the graphic arts department.

  Any actually embarrased to admit they were Witnesses?

  by Robert7 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was active, i was always (usually) proud to talk about being a jw, our faith, reasons for our stupid beliefs on birthdays, x-mas, etc.

  now with everything i'm going through, given how much of an impact this is to my life, i want to talk to others about it, like coworkers, and other friends.

  but thinking about how i would explain how it's a mind-controlling cult, i feel stupid for falling for it.

  Did you help clean the Kingdom Hall, yard work, maintenance?

  by Thechickennest in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  at one hall i attended for serveral years had a lawn covering large man-made burms with trees and bushes.

  it was a difficult yard to mow and maintain.

  i have often wondered why we all pitched in and worked so hard for nothing.

  What a complete waste of time.

  Are JW's allowed to go to Alcoholic's Anonomous?

  by digderidoo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i went to an aa meeting tonight for the first time in a few weeks.

  after about 6 weeks of attempting to control my drinking in a social way, i feel that it best to go the abstinence route as i wasn't really enjoying it.. anyway i got to thinking afterwards whether jw's are allowed to go to them?

  i have heard how some elders disaprove of them because it's classed as a spriitual program.

  Hey Didg!

  You might want to read up on the anti-smoking drug Chantix. I've read that this has a dual purpose. It seems that people that took the drug to quit smoking also lost their desire to drink alcohol and have really enjoyed the benefits. No treatment plan, no facility, no therapy.

  Just a thought.
