i understand i jump around too much in my comments.
my add gets worse when i get nervous.
plus i know there are topics that could be more academic.
I recommend getting a reality education
Read Ray Franz books
These will open your eyes to reality
You can keep your faith if you choose
You can absolutely lose the cult
It's a difficult journey
It can take some time
Set you path and press forward
Just about everyone is willing to help
You will find more compassion here
than you ever will find in that "group".
just to review, i had my meeting today with the two elders who say a sister has accused me of "grinding" with her and thus porneia.
so i printed out several of your comments on how to defend myself.
i felt good about standing my ground, and repeating that i had not "grinded" with this ex-friend and that she wants to ruin the relationship i have now with the sister i am dating.. however, the two elders today really tried to pressure me.
Resign any positions you have
or don't have for that matter
and WALK AWAY!!
They are going to hound you and get you
anyway, so why tolerate the crap!!
Let them do as they will.
It's all meaningless anyway.
God could care less about a little
Ummmm.... whatever you call it.
Move on
Get a new life
Most of these twitchy ladies
will probable come looking for you
after you go anyway.
Yea. Sweet!!
i was watching a documentary on public television last night.
it was about the cold war.
i'm wondering if anyone remembers or has done research on what the wts attitude and stance was during that time.
The drum beat of armageddon
is always pounding................
Just sometimes it's louder and faster.
It's a know winner for keeping the R & F
in line and drooling
does anyone remember being a little kid and being forced to sit through those 2 hour meetings?
specifically being made to listen to graphic accounts of whatever country that was going through horrific persecution.
(or any other horrors you might remember).
I felt guilty all the time
Father was a servant (Elder)
Conducted Ministry School
Pioneered
all that special stuff
It was my "Duty" to be an example to others
No matter what I did I wasn't being a good example
Hair not combed - Bad example
Pants not pressed - Bad example
Not smiling - Bad example
Not enough service hours - Bad example
The "Paradise Lost" book FREAKED ME OUT
as a youngster.
Horrible pictures of death and destruction
I thought all around me was doomed
Me included
I wasn't a good example
GOD DAMNED CULT!!
See. It still pisses me off!
my wife asked for a seperation last week.
she rattles off a huge list of wrong things, like dress better when going out {wear a jacket?
} and be more ambitious like her since she would have been a millioniare if i wasn't holding her back?
I'm so sorry for your troubles
Get an attorney
Take it slow
DO NOT MOVE OUT (for legal reasons)
She sounds really messed up
As you know starting a business is not so simple
Let alone a huge moneymaker right away
Seems to be all a dilusion
Her reality is based on wishes
Hang in there
Rough road ahead

Hello
KW
Welcome
a close relative recently called me verbatim, "a bad, bad, bad apostate and a sinner against the holy spirit" .. the apostate remark didn't bother me, actually it's a compliment when you think about it.. saying i was a "sinner against the holy spirit" that did bother me.
this got me to wondering about all the names, accusations and labels given to people who don't want to be a jw anymore.. doing a quick search in the insight books i came up with a list.. apostates pg.126, antichrist pg.116, man of lawlessnes pg.
310, resurrection - sinning against the holy spirit pg.
Yea
kind and loving isn't it
i have found these 14 characteristics of a typical cult and below are some questions regarding the behaviour of a cult.
my personal opinion is that the watchtower society fits into most of these characteristics, with the exception of 1& 14. possibly part of number 10 fits, but not all.
i feel that all of the questions posed should be asked of jw's and all of the further symptoms apply too.
Ummmmmmmmmmm
YES!!
