  Those of us who left the WT for less than noble reasons

  by Aussie Oz in

  sometimes i feel like a second class apostate...not that anyone has ever said anything to make me feel that way, i just do, you know what i mean?.

  i left the jws because i just couldn't fight my flesh anymore.

  the battle inside was going to kill me literally.

  I left because I was going insane from the sexual repression and loneliness. I had to choose between who I was (OMG PRON!) or who I thought I should be... and finally decided to be who I was. I don't think it gets much less noble than that. :-P Of course, I'm thankful that I did... I don't think I had the brain cells to get out of the religion otherwise.

  JWs Depression and Suicide

  since jehovah's witnesses supposedly have "the truth" and are part of god's visible organization living in a "spiritual paradise" you would naturally expect that they should be the happiest people on earth!

  this clearly is not the case.

  wha happened?

  I have met someone who while they were in experienced hallucinations to the point that at one point they thought that they had murdered their entire family. They were diagnosed schitzo-affective, or whatever they call it these days, and shortly after leaving the Lie the symptoms disappeared entirely.

  There was Fred7777's brief rise to fame and glory. Many laughs were had by all.

  Please don’t be guilty of committing the sins you have indicted the WatchTower of

  by mankkeli in

  please dont be guilty of the sins you have indicted the wt of commiting.

  something is common to all on this discussion board, we are quick at castigating the watchtower.

  although, i understand your reasons for doing so, but i will warn you not to be guilt of the same offense the wt had committed.

  Wow Mankkeli... I've got to say, that last post was quite rude and contrary to everything you just said. The best response is to just say nothing and turn the other cheek. WWJD? LoL

  EDIT: Second to last... Hate it when I get ninja'd.
