  Thoughts on turning 65 today

  by Terry in

  2. friends

  today is my 65th birthday.. chances are you have no idea what that means.. would you like to know?

  turning 65 can only be described using these two words:.

  the first: anagnorisis the moment of critical discovery; the discovery of one's own identity or true character.

  Good idea Designs. Maybe if a JW brings this up we could ask how they've adjusted in the past. Has to be good for the cognitive dissonance.

  "1. From advancing spiritual light - it can be difficult if a teaching is especially close to our heart. "

  So once again it's the fault of the individual JW if they have a hard time adjusting.

  Ask yourself: How did the teaching become close to your heart in the first place?

  Only JWs Can Understand The Bible

  by leavingwt in

  according to the july 1, 1973 watchtower magazine, only the watchtower organization can understand the deep meaning of the scriptures.

  it remains a "sealed book" to everyone else.

  as ex-members, it's easy to recognize such a statement for how ridiculous it truly is.

  60 yr. old needs chaperon????

  by red21 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so, a female relative of mine who is 60 but inactive in the truth had their mate dying in the hospital.

  the older sister + husband and old brother (of dying man) (active witnesses) come to visit and stay at their home.

  the old sister is staying at the hospital around the clock for the duration of the visit but tells her sister-in-law that she must have a chaperon at the house if she is going to be there with her husband and her dying husbands older brother?

  I get that older people still have sex. I think it's ridiculous to still be that mind controlled that you're acting like a teenager and still answering to others. But I get it. It's a cult.

  Happy Birthday !!!!

  This is a great birthday to celebrate. Yes, you will feel a bit awkward due to all the indoctrination. But, you will feel so great when you wake up the day after and realize you have not been destroyed. You are so young to be making your way out. Good for you!

  My 70+ yr old elder fil was recently widowed. He began dating this 50 yr old woman who'd never been married (she has an adult son). Up until the day they were married, they had a chaperone (or so he says).

  It was beyond ridiculous.

  "They will make your life miserable for as long as you will allow them to."

  below is a comment on a recent thread at jwr, and i wanted to share it.

  obviously, every situation is different, but for many situations, i believe there is some wisdom in this advice.. ---------------.

  they will make your life miserable for as long as you will allow them too.

  "...not caring about what they think is a vital part of escaping."

  This is absolutely true. No longer needing or wanting the approval of family, "friends", and the congregation helps you cut the cord cleanly. It's not easy, but it's the only way to be free and live your life.
