  Hi!! New Here and need to express some feelings

  by Knb1983 in

  2. experiences

  i'm so glad i happened to stumble across this website cause i really need to express what i've been holding inside for quite some time.

  i'm 27 and was born and raised in the "truth".

  i'm married and my husband was also raised as a jw, been married for almost 7 years and have two kids who have just started kindergarten and preschool.

  Welcome, do the leg work in your own research into the org and its background and beliefs.

  If its the TRUTH then it should stand up to reasonable scrutiny shouldn't it? That applies to both sides btw, apostates and the WTBTS. Dont just believe something because you read it somwhere or you see it in print or hear it. Test and challenge.

  It takes time and can become a bit engrossing, but gets you where you need to go. Read the bible, compare different translations, you may be suprised that the WTBTS gloss just peels away from doing just that one thing.

  Your guilt is based on the negative and guilt ridden message of the WTBTS that has been drummed into you since childhood, it is quite normal to have those programmed responses. Read Combatting Cult Mind Control by steve hassan for some clarity on the mind control. Read Ray Franz Crisis of Conscience on the real deal with the organization.

  Even then you may swing back to guilt and negativity and then happiness and freedom and then back again, it normal and a process that may take some time.

  I wish you the best in your journey. You are very lucky hubby is on message with you at the moment btw.

  Cheers

  i am currently just sick with grief.

  i can't believe this is happening to me.

  all the jokes i've made about me never "falling out of the truth" and self confidence about my spirituality.

  2. experiences

  well my mom and i got into a pretty bad argument today over the phone.

  it basically came down to the fact that she couldn't handle what i was saying about the organization, etc and all she could come back to me was that i "hated her?

  " i guess i just wanted to share and vent a little too....thanks for letting me do so.. .

  Covering your tracks on the computer after visiting JWN

  by Quillsky in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't have to, fortunately, because i don't share my computer with anyone.. but i've been thinking, with empathy, about those that do.

  how far do you go to stop people realizing that you've been here?

  do you log in and out every time?

  Best bet is have more than 1 PC on the internet. I have a laptop always available for family when they come and want the internet, saves them from using my PC which I prefer they don't... I have about 50 tabs always open and about 10 of them relate to JWs and so find myself flicking to Ebay or the weather when someone comes in...

  If you're stuck with one PC then install another browser and then move the link to run it somwhere you know (my documents maybe) and use that for JWN etc. Most people will open Internet explorer by default even if there are 3 other choices on the desktop especially if you leave IE over on the left and move the others over to the right on the desktop, but moving it out of the way would be safer.

  Beyond that you're into accounts and access rights private browsing sessions etc.

  The H.M. Riley Trust

  by alice.in.wonderland in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  because someone, someone who misused their authority as financial information of such as is posted online relative to this trust is confidential communication between a financial planner, accountant, board of trustees and beneficiary of the trust; it's revealed the mutual funds owned by the riley trust have a "consumer staples/consumer goods" component, and one of the stocks in that component is phillip morris.. it's a completely immaterial amount of money and it's not generated by securities that are able to be traded, unless the entire mutual fund is sold off.

  this is another fine example of people who have an axe to grind with jehovah's witnesses doing a whole lot of work to produce a "smoking gun" that really is nothing of the kind.. this stems from some financial information that was released related to a lady named henrietta riley.

  apparently a wealthy jw that made the watchtower society the beneficiary of the income from her trust.

  If the WTS wasn't so high and mighty and continually riding its high horse declaring LAW to it's minions and attempting to excercise control in ALL areas of our lives, we wouldnt react so harshly when inconsistencies and double standards occur, ... but as it is, they preach one standard and will happily (though quietly) break it when it financially suits them to do so.

  Remember Watergate? Maybe not, but seen the film right and educated yourself? Small things seemed very insignificant at 1st didnt they? ...but in the end it got real messy thru all the lies didnt it? ...As Deepthroat said "Follow the money". Same applies here sadly. The WTS is ALL about the money.

  I couldnt use my "normal" board names that I use on most of the forums I use due to not wishing to be easily identifiable by them...

  I liked some of the JW related names on here and wanted something that expressed my anger at having been duped by the "Truth".. Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction came to mind doing his Ezekiel spiel before shooting up the room as well..... Hence, Witness My Fury.

  Although I freely admit I havent lived up to the drama that name suggests so far, just give me time K? Grrrrr .

  Do you really want to know

  by Voices in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why there are so many reasons why there's no reason for everything?

  i mean if there's a reason for no reason then shouldn't the reason itself be a no reason at all?

  how reasonable is it to be in a no reasoning zone?.

  What I really want to know is what VOICES you hear? Some on here have Christ whispering special insights in their ears apparently (or is that Evidently?), so im wondering about yours
