  What was your trigger to waking up ?

  good afternoon , .

  i wanted to ask everyone here , what was your trigger to waking up ?

  i have been waking up for a long time , but in looking back it’s hard for me to look at one event and say “ ah ha “ , i think mine is like a slow leak - like a crack in a damn - and then hold on , because after that it’s just a flood of information.

  My first awakening was when I was in my early teens, sitting in a public talk given by my uncle, it was about the GB/144K being the only channel to god, question popped into my head, how do they know? what makes them believe that they could ever be the only ones? arrogant was a word in my head that would not go away.

  That lead to me to not ever wanting to make any advancement, only ever gave token service, most 2 hours a month, missed as many meetings as I could, never answered in meetings.

  And yet I thought there was some truth there & I also thought in the back of my mind if there was a true religion it would be the borg.

  I stopped attending completely in 2002 in my early/mid 40s, and yet I was not fully awake until 2009 when I had some personal issues that made me think I should return (all of 5 seconds) but I considered why am I thinking this way? that made me do a google search that bought me here & silent lambs, this was my true awakening that put any thought of returning & that they jws are a straight out cult.

  greetings, friends across the two ponds:.

  of course, as per other posters' recommendations, i could google this; i have and remain, not totally confused, but wanting the straight dope as well as nuanced meaning.

  i'm both curious and needing to know for purposes of editing works of american and british writers.

  I'm a Kiwi or New Zealander & may be one day an "Aotearorian New Zealander"

  no I do not consider myself a "Commonwealther" although my country New Zealand is a member of "the Commonwealth" along with Australia the country I reside in.

  i'm pretty certain i'm not the only one here who experiences this.. i occasionally have jw dreams.

  the most recent one was me giving a talk in my home congregation.

  all i had on was my trousers (pants), socks and shoes.

  no dreams for many years, can't even remember what they were about.

  but I do day dream about jws knocking on my door & me asking them about the ARC, I have not had any at my door for at least 3 years & I'm home most mornings

  Did your children help you wake up?

  by Zyron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what help me wake up, (still pimo) in addition to lingering doubts throughout most of my life, and i'm in my late 50s, was the questioning from my children when they became teenagers.

  i could not honestly defend the origins of the jws, prohibition of birthdays and other celebrations; especially when you realise that the whole belief system is/was based on crazy teachings of a businessman.. the real kicker is when you have a religion that has to produce its own bible to support its beliefs, that's when i knew the whole religion is an expensive and cleverly marketed belief system.

  like most religions.. glad to say none of my children want anything to do with jws and two of them don't believe in god.

  Only in that I released that they were not interested & I didn't want them to go through the things I did that I stopped attending.
