After 33 years of being mind controlled at 5 meetings a week, field service meetings, special day assembly, curcuit assembly,district assembly, finding out "the truth" is just a big hoax is like getting punched in the stomach-uppercut in the jaw-being kicked in the balls from behind and then having the rug ripped out from under you and smashing your head on the ground. What was it like for everyone else?

This is a great thread. Thank you all.Things that give me peace of mind are:
1. Knowing that everyday I am away from the WTBTS the smile on my face is real and not forced.
2. Not having to watch my autistic son cry at night afraid his schoolmates and teacher are going to die at armageddon.
3. A feeling of beginning to know my own mind each day. Being born into this cult has definitley cost me. Knowing my own mind is a beautful thing god gave me. My mind has been ressurected.
4. My wonderful wife and two beautiful childern who all walked away together at the same time.
5. The rest of my life with my family.
6. Helping family members and friends realize they need to leave.
7. Waking up each day to the beautiful gift of life. If this life is all there is so be it, whats wrong with that.
8. Knowing I have all my friends on this site to cheer me up when I am down. This has been a great place for therapy for me and my wife. Thank you!!

Anyone heard of Watchtower policy change concerning pedophiles
by Robert_V_Frazier ini'm passing this along from someone else on another discussion board.
the claim of any substantive change in the policy on pedophiles is news to me.
can anybody verify or falsify this claim?.

How in the hell does the two witness rule apply to pediphiles? Pediphiles make sure no one else is around to see the disgusting acts they do to children. The elders are going to try and enforce this two witness rule? Thats wrong and totally believable because after all we are dealing with a gross cult.

How will anyone know when the "Great Tribulation" begins?
by foolsparadise inwill there be an announcment on the world news saying " a great tribulation has begun in the world" or will the gb send a letter to all the kh's to scare the piss out of everybody saying "we the gb being gods chosen channel of communication have decided that the world's situation seems dire and are pleased to tell you that the great tribulation has started!".
obviously the world has been in a great tribulation since the time of jesus.
great tribulation does not mean some event that has to happen all at once all of a sudden.

I mean seriously. Obviously the world has been in a great tribulation since the time of jesus. Great tribulation does not mean some event that has to happen all at once all of a sudden. Great tribulation can mean the plights of different people, someone may have cancer, aids, loved ones dying, terrorism, earthquakes killing thousands, tsunami killing hundreds of thousands.........i would say that the people who survive loved ones dying have been through a great tribulation. And if the same thing is happening to families throughout the world it is indeed great.
The GB will announce sometime in our lifetime that the great ribulation has started and the world will continue on as it has for over 6000 years.

Why did God Save Noah From the Flood? What purpose did it serve?
by foolsparadise inwas the flood the real armageddon, gods war?
if he promised not to bring the earth to ruin with a flood why would he use another means instead?
that would be like killing someone with a gun and then promiing to never kill again with a gun and instead using a knife.

That would be like killing someone with a gun and then promiing to never kill again with a gun and instead using a knife. To save Noah from the wicked people on the earth to have the earth become even more wicked doesnt make any sense. With Satan still on the loose wouldnt Noahs offspring still be tempted to live in sin? Or did god think Noah and family could be sinless even tho god says that after adam all men were born into sin? I think armageddon is symbolic.
Any thoughts?
