  Learning the "Truth" Is not true is like...................

  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?.

  Not just information to help people leave, but a community on the internet

  a recent thread asked if ray franz's book was instrumental in people's decision to leave wts.

  many left before the book was out, many left on their own without the book, most read it afterward and it was instrumental in their never going back.

  a bunch of people got their information about wts from the internet.

  Newly fading and having morbid thoughts about dying....is that normal?!

  by 2pink in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been having doubts for years about the org, but it's mostly been just the past couple of months that it's really all unravelled for me.

  i'm at that stage now where i don't know what i believe about anything...esp about what happens when you die.. and maybe it's just cause i never had to think about death before (was always countin' on that resurrection in paradise earth!

  ), but lately i can't stop thinking about it!

  "My Book of Bible Stories" returned for being "too violent for kids." You Agree?

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  obviously a book written for kids by old dumb morons at bethel the book starts with abels murder {with pictures for the kids} people begging to get into the ark before drowning to death...a good lesson for kiddies!

  a women putting a tent peg thru someones temple {with pictures} moses killing an egyptian.

  etc a horrified atheist lady returned the books my mother gave as "gifts" {count 2 placements} after seeing the horrific topics, she decided it was "not apropriate for her kids.".

  Pondering the Flood...

  by 2pink in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is only my second thread here on this forum, so forgive me if i put this on the wrong board.. i'm a jw on the way out....past few years and esp past few months of thinking have pretty much sealed the deal for me.

  i'm done.. so anyway, as i allow myself to think more and more and question more and more of the bible, something i have always wondered about is the flood.

  did god regret doing that, hence the rainbow promise??

  telling jw's your findings about the cult

  by AwSnap in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm finding that if you ask a jw a question as though you are completely confused (its got to be "sincere", not aloof), dumb, pondering, unsure, unconfident (that's the biggie), they will listen to what you have to say.

  if you ask things with even a *hint* of cocky attitude or a 'let me show you what you don't know' attitute, their minds will shut off instantly.

  just speaking from experience.

  If you pray, do you say 'Jehovah'...?

  by wantstoleave in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just wondering of those that pray and who have left the organisation, do you still address god as jehovah?.

  i think i'm currently in that awkward stage where i'm neither in or out, yet don't feel i should even address, or have the right, to talk to god (jehovah) until i decide where i sit.

  so i'm wondering if it's hypocritical to pray and use his name.
