Sabin you accurately describe exactly everything they do. they constantly push push push then find some way to turn it back around on you and make it your fault when you blow a gasket from all their harrasment. bastards indeed!!

Faith and Lies.
by sparrowdown inif you were hooked up to a polygraph machine when you were still an asleep, kool-aid drinking dub and asked if you agree 100% with every single wt teaching (asked as individual questions and collectively), would you have "passed" with no signs of deception?.
i know, i definitely would not have "passed" such an interegation.
i would have tripped up on questions about blood, dfing and non jws being marked for destruction just to name a few.

Im sure my readings would be all over the place too. Blood was never a big concern of mine. It was always the theocratic aspect that bothered me: the keeping of field service time, the climbing of ranks in the org, the taking of every word written in the publications as coming from god himself and stuff of that sort. Growing up I never received satisfying answers when I brought up these issues. it was always drilled in us kids to never question authority, be obedient and be a good little submissive girl.
I think we are constantly told to "make the truth our own" but really for them its not about us having our own faith its about shutting your pie hole and believing whatever the hell they tell you to believe. Oh and don't forget if you do you'll be blessed!

what buzz word from the jw's do you hate & why?
by Sabin inso my hubby has been on a bit of a roll about the jdubs, we were talking a lot about them & he said the buzz word he hate's the most is "worldly" why?
because he say's "with that one word they have condemned (according to their believes) a person as being worthy of nothing but death.
".

Memorial Non-Attendance: The Single Most Impactful TTATT Witness to JW Friends & Family
by AMNESIANO innote: the following is submitted in full recognition of and with compassion and due respect for those who, due to personal circumstance, feel they are unable to employ this powerful strategy.. ---.
anyone who has awakened to ttatt and has conscientiously left the organization--especially a once-prominent, highly-regarded, studious true-believer from a celebrated multi-generational tribe of jws-- after decades of devout, high-profile "serve-us," who continues to put in an annual appearance at the memorial thoroughly subverts and undermines, by this one act, any hope s/he may entertain that his/her departure will stir family or former friends to question the whole watchtower bamboozle.
by this one concession s/he assigns him-/herself by every single jw to their handy and dismissive purgatory: the "spiritually-weak.".

Every Know Anyone Too "Weak" To Wake Up?
by freemindfade ina jw that is probably irregular, they don't really attend meetings, they are not up on anything going on, they may even seem like they are faded but they are not, they are just slackers.
a jw that is impervious to the f.o.g.
(ok maybe it bums them, but they are too lazy and self serving to do otherwise).

Closer to fine and the listener
You both took the words right out of my mouth in describing my husband. For the longest time I thought I was the only one dealing with this type of situation but reading the responses on this thread show me now that I am not alone with this madness!

Sadly this describes my husband to the T.
Honestly I dont feel he's waking up to ttatt. Slowly he's just slacking off the WT train dramatically.

What TV shows were forbidden in your JW household?
by Funchback inin the u.s., three's company was not allowed.
it was explained to me that it was an immoral show because a man and women lived together and no one was married.
the sister who gave this observation was a family friend and we were newbies to the religion.. at least i somehow managed to watch the benny hill show undetected..

nice encouraging post Dub. So nice to hear you and the mrs are doing well. I myself am finding so much peace and life in general so much more enjoyable also after leaving the witness life behind.
Like you, i've made real genuine friendships. people who have become like my family and it brings joy again after such a bleek past.
Much best wishes to you. Keep rising!
