Impromptu Survey - 2 Types of Reasons to Leave
by AdaMakawee in
1. jw
2. friends
i was thinking, not counting those who are df'd for "conduct," it seems to me that there are two type of exjws that leave.

by this i mean the ones that woke up and came to their senses while still inside.

1. those who found doctrinal errors and couldn't stay with the lies.. 2. those who found that there was no love and left because of the betrayal of emotions, and realization that by this fruit you knew they were not the ones, their lack of love.

Worship only counts if you base it on faith, not proof of god's existance?

i was reading an article online, about the upcoming vatican ruling on a shrine in the balkins.

the shrine is built in a place where people say the virgin mary has been appearing, and people have been going there in the hundreds of thousands sort of like the lourdes thing.

after the article, which supposes that the pope will rule that this is all from satan and meant to lead people away from the church, there were comments from people regarding the phenomena, the expected ruling, etc.

tonight while watching the show in the promo leading up to his performance, lawrence talked about being raised in a cult (he did not use that exact word) but said he was always told he was not good enough, also that he was brainwashed.

made me think perhaps he is an ex jw too.

he's from the walnut creek ca area now but apparently grew up in mississippi.. ada.
