  hey bonafide, i left the jw`s and have a beautiful wife and children, she was never a witness,she understands....dont but your own limitations on others,you will be suprised. the watchtower wants you to think that worldly people think your crazy, that they dont understand you.

  i have a friend born into the jw`s left in his middle thirties is chat up line was

  "i was born into the jw`s now even my own mother won`t speak to me" the ladies loved it. so like my last comment if you want to leave do it.

  it is illegal to wear a beard.

  a point well made,but i think you miss the point of most people who have left the jw`s. personally if people want to stay in the jw`s thats fine,if there doing it because they don`t want to leave there family and friends, fine,its there choice.

  but as an xwitness i like to discuss whats happening now, whats happened in the past, why i left,why i would`nt go back. and if i can help someone by a kind word or a bit of experience, then i`m helping my fellow man. hey all you jw`s out there if you want to stay in...do so,for whatever reason, as long as it makes sense to you.

  Information Control & Thought Control - Newbies Check Steve Hassan Out !

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've posted threads on this last year but due to many new members exiting the jehovah's witness cult and joining this board - i felt it's important to share steve hassan's information briefly to bring interest and attention to what former members in the witnesses were and are experiencing.

  knowledge is power and it is important.. on page 49 in steve hassan's book " releasing the bonds- empowering people to think for themselves " it states " a common form of information control involves blocking out any critical or negative points of view.

  some cults simply forbid members to have access to any non-cult material - such as newspapers, magazines, television, radio, and the internet - while others have more subtle ways of controlling information.

  its so true, the first thing i was taught when i came into the jw`s

  "we dont refer to ourselves as a religion but as the truth"

  and when ever i made the mistake and said it was a religion i was rebuked and told not always kindly

  "its the truth not a religion"

  mind games!!!

  Who would WANT this wicked system to go on any longer?

  by JWdaughter in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  that is always the refrain of jws when confronting former jws who point out all the false prophecy, the false teachings and declare that they are not putting their lives in line with this religion simply because they say the end is near.. first of all.

  that is no reflection on me as saying that i think this 'system of things' is all hunky dory.

  crap happens.

  surely the fact that we live in such an ugly, evil world proves that there is no god (and don`t give me that satan da devil crap).

  or is our concept of god completely wrong? all i know is i went into the jw`s for about 6yrs and came out the other side none the wiser.

  the only thing i have learned is stay well away from organized religion.

  it amazes me how many x jw`s quickly embrace a new religion or dont question the god thing.

  i am sitting in the family lounge at the university of va medical center.

  my grandson has paused his walk after 2 days because his 10 year old sister, aubrey, has had a terrible accident.

  she fell off of a bike, slamming into a tree going downhill.

  nice comment STEVE2, the church of england was once considered apostate by rome, i`ve voiced the opinion for a couple of years now that the jw`s will calm it down, just become main stream. it wont be a suprise that soon they will say we dont need to knock on peoples doors anymore because everyone knows who jw`s are....stopped saying the end of the world is nigh,no date on it anymore. just be a sunday morning thing.
