Which of the Society's presidents did you like the least?
by donny inwhile i was a witness, i never liked or cared for j.f.
rutherford.
even with the society's whitewashing and trying to make him look like one who was part of the seven trumpet blasts in revelation, i could not stand the guy.

Stupid Memorial
by PanzerZauberei inwell, i am gonna have to go again because my wife wants to go this year.
she missed last year because she was sick and was so depressed about it for a month after because of the guilt her stupid family laid upon my poor darling.
last night she was visiting her dad (the only one who didn't guilt her) and he asked if she was going to go this year.

I'm not a scholar but I know that there is not always a direct correspondence between two letters in different languages. It is sometimes a toss up as to which letter represents which sound the best in any given language. Example the chinese have a consonant that is somewhere between l and r in the english language making it difficult to pronounce our r.
Bottom line YHWH is the same as YHVH the difference between V and W being small.

Running ahead of Jehovah
by donny inas i was exiting the society back in 1992, the elders were frantically trying to reason with me and kept saying that i was trying to run ahead of jehovah or running ahead of the organization?
just what does that entail?.
or they would tell me to "wait on jehovah" and eventually some of my beliefs/issues will be in line with the truth.

I liked the one where they mention that scripture about the ark of the covenant. In the scripture the ark is being transported improperly and is about to tip over into the mud when an Israelite keeps it from falling but gets killed by Jehovah for his effort (No good deed goes unpunished).
The JWs liken the ark to their organization and tell you that anyone who tries to correct it will suffer a similar fate even if they're wrong.

Men make gods of wood and stone
But the true one they've not known
....We're Jehovah's witnesses
And now my version:
We make gods of pulp and print
but of truth we have no hint
Such is our Jehovah
Demon god of old
Other gods are deaf and dumb
Ours is blind as well you see. . .
We're Jehovah's witlesses
We speak out in mindlessness
Ours is the god of false prophecy
What he foretells comes to naught

How Long Have you Been Out of the Witnesses ? Have you Moved On ?
by flipper ini have been out over 5 years now.
i feel we all start healing at different speeds depending on how much hurt we went through in exiting ; and how much we've educated ourselves about how and why we were sucked in by a mind control cult.
at first i felt anger towards the organization , but after learning about mind control within 3 years of leaving the cult i felt sorry for those who are still trapped inside the witnesses being deceived.

Twenty eight years out of the witnesses. I am very fortunate that I did not have family in the religion as that would have complicated matters.
I have moved on in the sense that I am not like many former witnesses who simply "fall out of the 'truth'" and feel guilty because they think it's still the "Truth" and that they are inferior. I was df'd for apostacy and proud of it.
Still there is a lot of resentment towards that baby killing, child excommunicating, God f@$^* religion. In fact I live in a large apartment complex full of them so I am reminded every day.
How do I move on? I believe part of the answer is participating here.
