a BIG shoutout to jwfacts
by poopsiecakes inim sure this has been mentioned many times on this site but i wanted to express my personal feelings of gratitude to paul at jwfacts.com.
paul, your site changed my life.
even though i discovered it when i was already disfellowshipped and really didnt have the intention of going back, i was still a fierce jw apologist.

Thanks, from one Paul to another.

If You Leave The Organization Where Else Must You Go?
by minimus init seems the watchtower leaders believe that if you were to think about leaving the organization (and listen to "apostates") that you must have a place to go in return.
they feel you must have something, if you were to not accept the organization.
you need hope and belief in something.

MUST SEE!!! Best Youtube Video on Theocratic Warfare that I've ever seen!!!
by Tuesday inhey everyone, i don't think the maker of the video is on the board so i figured i'd post this video here.
this one absolutely floored me, it was put together so concisely; it's just incredibly difficult to deny the theocratic warfare method when viewing this video... without further ado, the video:.

You guys don't understand, it's ok to lie if it helps the truth.
Wait,that doesn't sound right...anyways,my $ 0.02
I think the video brings out the frame of mind of people in a mind control cult.
Their mission in life is to proclaim the wts as THE savior.

df'd and assemblies.
by ptrehearn152 inhi newbie here, i have a question that is begining to bug me a little.
i am not a jw or ever will be but my partner was some years ago and quite devout about the religeon then she was df'd for commiting adultry with another man (not me) who was not a jw, she got divored from her jw husband and left behind her 2 boys and went to live with 'the other man', anyway over the years her relationship with her 2 boys began to grow again and now she see's them once every 2 weeks, i should perhaps point out that her ex is a devout jw, she has told me that she would like to at some point go back to the 'hall' and carry on her religeon, i said that i dont have a problem with that but, i wasn't keen on the idea of her walking the streets knocking on doors due to the amount of hatred that some poeple clearly have for jw's and the fact that we now seem to live in a violent world, yes i know that jw's have to do so much 'service work', she has told me that she has not visited a hall since her df so therefore has not repented her sins as it were but on sunday she said that there was an assembly in our local vicinity (it's the annual one) and she would like to go.
i found this a bit odd that someone who had been df'd would be allowed to go to the jw's event of the year so began to wonder if whilst visiting her sons she maybe did visit the hall to somehow show repent with a view to be allowed back into the faith.

Hi Ptr, two books.
Don't worry, they'll go fast.
for you
"Controlling cult mind control" by Steve Hassan will make you understand what you're up against.
for her
"Crisis of conscience" by Ray Franz.
Ask her to look at it before committing her life,tell her that you just want what's best for her and you want her to make an informed decision about something that will greatly effect her and everyone else around her.

I live with little respect from my mate ...
by The Berean ini have been married for over 30 years to a woman who was as good as i could have realistically hoped for and i probably am as good as she could have hoped for.. yet, over time, she has become less and less willing to respect my experience and conclusions concerning life.
the signs of disrespect are a knee-jerk reaction to doubt and correct my point of view even before i complete a thought or sentence.
while some of that can be seen in her mother and may be conditioned, my departure from the organizartion and her continued dedication to same has amplified her apparent inner distain.

It sounds like she squeezed out of you what she could and now you're just dead weight.
She should be with a real mf for a while, she'll change, sometimes we don't know what we've got until it's gone.
Anyway, remember that she's under mind control.
