If we didn't accept the WT woldview in the first place we would not be asking ourselves this question A false dilemna The WT has used that hook for over a centurywhile everyone else was enjoying and living their lives. Where is the pub? I'll be in that.

Where else will you go?
by wary inthe po comes to see me and talks round the houses trying to find out what my problem is.. so i tell him "look its something i have to sort out for myself and i dont want to destroy your faith and make you start questioning so id rather not tell you".
he already knew cos the first elder went to his house the second he left mine and told him about [what i thought was a private conversation between mates,] my issues.. so he proceeds to tell me a story of a brother he knows who was always very studious and knowledgable about all prophecies and the details of our beliefs.. well the guy suddenly stopped attending meetings last year, dont know why but the po seemed pretty upset about it as he was an old friend.. so he says " i said to him, but john, where will you go now on sunday afternoons,!
and really wary where else will you go?".

Doesn't matter how hard I try I always end up with a bag of odd socks I can't for the life of me find their mates. I suspect I might have Gremlins in my washing machine. What can I do? I'm desperate. I dimly recall that if it was demonic problem I should call on THE NAME but I don't know how many times I should shout Jehovah at my washing machine 7 or 10 ? I remember 7 stood for heavenly completeness and 10 for earthly Like they come from heaven right?but then they got kicked down here and now the little buggers are in my washing machine. I havn't been here long but I've noticed you guys have kept up with the new light. Can you help me. I want to get this right the first time. I don't want to chase them out of my washing machine only to find that they have then moved into my beer fridge. I can live with wearing odd socks but I just gotta keep my beer cold

About 1993 Mosaic and compuserve???I think it was like a restricted internet service Thanks to the x witnesses who were so quick to utilize this medium I was on the way to recovery. I'd like to add their material and advice was factual well supported without a hint of bitterness just right for me I knew something was terribly wrong but I did not really want to believe that the religion was. I had a lot to lose. So if any of you are listening Thanks heaps I have since spent countless hours helping others: people in no mans land and found it to be a very frustrating experience. So I really admire you. Love you all Robert

They don't encourage you if they lable you an apostate. I met one of the elders who gave me the boot at the shopping centre. We were having a conversation, all the time he was trying to work out where he knew me from. When he realized who I was : he mumbled something about Satan and took off.

Introvert or Extrovert
by FormerMormon inon exmo sites, we have done polls.
people who leave the lds cult lean heavily to the introverted side.
i suspect many extroverts have too much to lose socially to allow themselves to think.

So let me get this straight
by TheICE ina web site called jehovah-witness.net where x-jw's and jw's who pretend to be jw's come to chat about how bad jehovah witnesses are and how they brain washed them etc, would it not be more productive to move on and forget than to let something most of you obviously hate take so much of your time and effort.. for some being a jw is about not being part of the world, what other religion is there that is as moral as a jw.
i am d'fed but i belive that jw's are the true religion.
sure some of them can be self righteous pricks but there imperfect just like anyone else,we all need to focus on us and not worry about what there doing because we can't change them.. .

The Ice said "I don't think that people are brainwashed thats just stupid" and that"people that try to push there beliefs that being a witness is wrong on a 80 yr old woman "
Are you calling me stupid for thinking they are? Tell me who on this board is pushing their beliefs on an 80 year old witness? I think you just want to yank a few chains or as we say in OZ Shit stir I for one say Piss off and take your fallicious ad homineum and straw man arguments with you

I know where your coming from Oompa. I let go. Stopped bashing my head against the wall. It hurt: I was getting headaches. It's a bit like love, no matter how much you might want someone to love you : You can't make them. And as for running: I am now teaching English in China and loving it. And guess what ? No one ever knocks on my door to tell how bad things are in the world. I doubt the chinese would listen to them anyway. They see the world as it is and always has been and are not likely to trouble themselves with the thought of what it could be. They have careers to pursue families to care for. They are content with their lot in life Sure they want to improve it but they don't put conditions on their happiness saying to thenselves if I had this or if I had that I will be happy
Come to China Oompa
