I feel far better about myself after leaving the control freak watchtower organization that demonizes God's sacred gift to us humans, independent thinking.

Observations about dubs as people...
by Princess Daisy Boo ini was thinking back on some of the people i knew growing up, as well as my own family - many of whom are dubs... tell me what your own experiences are of these kind of people, did you notice a large prevalence of these types of people in the congs you attended:.
1. health nuts: into all sorts of alternative health theories like iridology, reflexology, homeopathy etc?
2. get rich quick folk: always getting involved in this scheme or that, this business or that - especially pyramid type things?.

Hobbies post Witness-still feel guilty about the time and expense involved?
by Thechickennest inmy dear wife says she has a hard time investing time and money towards hobbies.
my wife was born in to the organization.
she says she still has a difficult time not feeling guilty about activities that would take one away from the preaching work, even though she has made her exit from the organization a long time ago.

One of the activities that makes a human being balanced, in my opinion, is having a hobby. Without hobbies what does one do with their time???

I prefer to pronounce the name as Yehowah. In my prayers I refer to my creator as: my Father. I don't refer to my parents by their first name, so why should I use the name of my heavenly parent to address him. I am a son of God, just as the rest of humanity is.

Hello everyone! New here. Born into it....ugh.
by Lady Zombie inwhere to start?.
i thought about typing out a nutshelled life history but changed my mind.
suffice it to say, i was born into "the truth," attempted suicide at 14, "lost my faith" at this time, beat into submission into carrying on as usual, endured a horrible marriage and equally horrible divorce, and am more or less still in it (appearances only!

Where to begin???? How many times a week would you meet together? Why would you meet together? What activities would your congregation be involved in? Why have a congregation at all? Lets raise many questions, then we can look for scriptural answers, and/or use our power of reason to come up with reasonable responses. This is not for starting any new cults.

It's best never to make any commitment to any institutions, groups, clubs, however you want to define them.
