  Why does that even need to be said, "I used to be a JW?" Really. If I met a chick (OOPS I MEAN WOMAN) that told me that she 'used to be catholic" I would think she was still holding on to something in her past and not letting it go. Makes you wonder what else she can't let go, like maybe an ex? Maybe drugs?

  In short, let it go dude. You are not a practicing JW, any reference to being a JW only puts you in a negative light to the woman... actually, in your case, probably girl since you sound immature and always post about your girl chasing escapades.

  Miller already had asked married couples among his 1,100 congregants to share their Facebook passwords with each other. He says the reaction to that request was mixed.

  Anyone that listens to this asshat and does this is an idiot and asking for trouble.

  Mental torture

  by stuckinamovement in

  it is pretty interesting to see the mental, emotional and physical impact that people have when realize the teachings of the org are lies.

  i am not going to name any names or point fingers but i can say i have tremendous empathy for those who are recently aware.. let me splane,.

  now that i know about the lies that i have been taught and subsequently taught people myself, i have become like a lost person.

  In short, once you find out that everything you have believed, lived for and sacrificed so much for is false, it is torture.

  Felt the same way the first 3 months. Then I realized I needed to fill the negative void/feelings with positive. That lead me on the search. Picked up a few books that people recommended here on this site which then lead me to pick up some books on Buddhism and meditation. Then BAM! No negative feelings, in fact, great positive energy and thoughts.

  The trick is once you leave, start filling the void with positive anything. Read the bible without WT trash, that helped me a ton too, I still read passages to reflect on throughout the week.

  JW's have been beat to death with worthlessness and making them feel less than an ant, that once we leave, if you don't replace that void, those feelings of guilt will creep in and ransack your soul.

  It's war. War with yourself and war with the WTS. We all have our fight internally with it when we leave or start leaning towards leaving.

  So I'm a bit confused...

  You're currently DF'd right? Got married to a so-called "worldly" guy correct? Your husband is uncomfortable with you going back, but you're going back only because you want to be reinstated to be able to talk to family. But turn right around and fade out...

  So what you're saying is, you want your cake and eat it too. Get the best of both worlds. Sane "worldly" husband, yet get to associate with the cult nut jobs still in.

  Good luck! I wish you the best and I hope you're ready for the mental gymnastics!

  "I wonder if he knows abou being quoted by the Watchtower. Does anyone know how to contact him?"

  That was the first question I asked after reading this post. Someone should point him in the right direction and have him go after them.

  Contraceptive question

  by Nobleheart in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, this matter has troubled me for some time now.

  jw aren't allowed to use the morning after pill, since it can cause an early abortion.

  principle of sanctity of life comes to mind.. what about the regular pill?

  I haven't seen, more because I don't read the magazines, but can you post some quotes that say that taking the morning after pill or anything on contrception is wrong?

  Pretty insane isn't it? Pretty soon they'll come out with an article on what brand of toilet paper to use to wipe ones ass.

  “A sect is a sect no matter how hard you try not to call it one. They act like petty looters during a disaster, looters who want to get as much as they can during the time of trouble,” he says.

  I never thought of it that way. Think of any natural disaster... Katrina, Haiti... swoop in, love bomb, reconstruct grab as many suckers along the way...

  LOOTERS!

  My mom to my daughter: "BD party might be fun but it will make Jah sad"

  we've allow a little freedom for my jw mom to visit our daughter at lunch at the school since we're df'd now.

  um, because we're idiots, maybe.

  so my daughter tells me this evening that she was chatting with mom at lunch today and mentioned a birthday party she's attending this weekend.

  Challenges Facing the Watchtower Org

  by eric356 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ive been thinking about the future of the watchtower organization and the challenges it faces in coming decades.

  its difficult to address the issue without allowing personal feelings affect the analysis.

  many people seem to think that the society will collapse fairly soon, based mostly on the fact that the person dislikes the leadership or cant understand how others can believe the doctrine.

  Clarification on my Japan statement, I haven't personally confirmed those growth numbers so I may have made a false claim there.... sorry.
