"The Truth"??
BAH!!!
The thing that I really hate
about it all is the fact that
I have never really known any
of my relatives.
Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins............
Knew who they were
Knew they existed
Seen them once or twice
NEVER KNEW THEM!!
We didn't associate with them
Bad influences you know
I've never established any type
of contact with them. The mental blocks
were so strong it has taken over 28 years
to finally begin to break them down
It was a life completely lost!!
Sad
Most are now dead.
My parents and siblings are still in.....deeply.
Strained relation with them.
They KNOW I'm going to die, soon. It's right around
the corner you know.
Terrible, terrible CULT.
Dangerous and life ruining
Remember these things Stilla

what angers you about the truth
by stillajwexelder inthis angers me .
elders who will not make shepherding calls to comfort their brothers and sisters but as soon as that brother or sister puts one little foot out of line those same f-----g (sorry about the language but it really angers me ) elders can not move fast enough to form a judicial committee and then are so unmerciful - it makes me want to vomit literally

Just a PRUDENT Reminder in These Days of Rampant Forums
by BabaYaga inthere have been countless "new forums" set up in the panic of the past few days.
i, personally, am concerned for those i care about here.
as a precaution first of all, do not join a forum hosted by anyone you do not know or have good reason to trust.

Prudence is ALWAYS warranted
I think that amama2six is legit
She and her husband have worked
very hard in the set up and have
placed definitive boundaries for
conduct and what is acceptable
and what is not
I know. I tested a couple of them. LOL
As was said the set up is easy
administration is hard
I have owned numerous sites over the years
(None now) and have done business
consulting for others.
I too have been giving much consideration
to this opportunity.
One possibility would be to set up a
web ring of approved sites that could
jointly provide the services required
for exiting and x-JW'S
It would then be a group effort with
inherent checks and balances
Much to consider -

This is my name, I was a witness, and this is why I will never be again.
by wanderlustguy inthanks to this site, not only am i free of the mental imprisonment, but i am also free of the fear that the society used to keep me and others like me silent.. i am not a witness anymore because the truth is not what we are directred to think it is.
once we allow ourselves to think, it is clear as day that there is no real basis for anyone to take the title of faithful and discreet slave.
there are folders and lists which contain the names of pedophiles who were never turned over to the proper authorities for their crimes.

Using Vista on my newer laptops and 2 desktops
I've had no problems per say
Still run XP Pro on my Business desktops
It's just another flavor of windows
I don't go to the church of
"Hate Everything Microsoft Does"
Make sure you have the horsepower to
properly run it though.
Some system builders still aren't doing it quite right yet.

Do You Clearly Understand That "The Truth" Is Nothing But Bullcrap?
by minimus inwhat a waste of living being "in the truth" was!
sometimes i see persons suggesting that the witness religion isn't all so wrong.
actually they suggest that they themselves are the issue.

Do as you must
Be true to yourself
Doesn't matter what others
think or say about it
Beware of fooling yourself
with your stealth and 2 lives
One of these lives must dominate
Make sure it is the one that you truly want
Nothing wrong with being positive
Much wrong with denying reality!!
As you said, It is a cult
and like a preditor, will stab you at the first chance

Craziest thing you've ever been "counseled" for????
by superman ini know that this has been a popular post in the past.
but after my last post, it got me thinking.
i used to always use those stupid field service report slips as scratch paper.

Let's see............
Counseled for:
Hair too long
Hair too short
Shirt color (not white)
Tie too colorful
Glasses liks a "hippie"
Late to a meeting (wrecked car on way)
Sitting alone
Sitting with someone
Standing
Going outside during meeting (was having panic attacks)
Not wearing jacket when in service (100 degree days)
Working too much - should be pioneering instead
Car not nice enough - can't use for service
Car too nice (bought a new sports car, I was leaving anyway)
"Wordly" music, books, etc.
Going on a "date" without intention of marrying the girl (just met her)
Attending other Kingdom Halls
Going to wrong assemblies
Bottom line; no matter what one did someone had an ax to grind about it.
Petty, insignificant people with a self righteous sense of power.
I guess thats what you get when your an Elders oldest son (must set example)
The funniest thing was what didn't happen.
In my final judicial commitee hearing (last of 4) I stood up after
getting pounded on for 20 minutes, flipped them all off (both hands)
and told them to F**k Off. I'm done and out of here. Do as you will!!
Never heard from them again.
