a homely guy who had a pretty girl on his arm brought this response.

How did/do you break the "thinking" chain?
by lurk3r in
1. jw
2. friends
one thing about being an active jdub is that you are never encouraged to actually think.

sure you think your thinking, but once your out, and start asking some questions that you never even considered before, it becomes apparent that you weren't.

it becomes clear that we were indeed "conditioned".. decades of sitting in a chair listening to the same thing, over and over again.

What finally pushed you over the edge?
by keyser soze in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
was there one issue or incident, final straw, so-to-speak, that made you leave once and for all?

i know there was for me.. i had been having doubts for years, and had stopped believing it was the truth.

but i labored on as a jw, in part because of my family, and in part because i had invested so much of myself in it.
