  To those taking a stand and not attending the Memorial tonight

  by doubtfull1799 in

  i salute you.

  many of you, like me, are probably under enormous emotional pressure, whether from a lingering false sense of guilt from your indoctrination, whether from "invitations," and assumptions that you'll naturally be coming, or whether from outright emotional blackmail, even begging and pleading.

  i am thinking of you whoever you are, all of you, even though i don't know you in person.

  This year, crickets....

  No one in my family has asked, no one has come around asking, a total non event, not that I am complaining. Mind you there is still the remains of today for someone to come ruin that in.

  Dear supporters of Russia's JW Ban:

  by Jehalapeno in

  2. beliefs

  this is the kind of government you are supporting.. over 100 gay men have been sent to concentration camps for homosexuals in chechnya and three people have been killed.. stop supporting fascism.. if you support the russia jw ban, what other thoughts and beliefs are you ok with policing?.

  if you support the jw russia ban, have you read george orwell's 1984?

  don't you realize you are advocating for literal fascism when you support the banning of a belief system?

  Marc & Cora on YouTube causing unnecessary divisions

  what is it with this pair?

  why do they have to constantly have a bitch about guys like john cedars?

  a very recent video of them shows them calling him a 'village idiot' and making other disparaging claims.

  Rummage thru his posting history if you need to see him in action: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/users/47037/cedars

  I havent bothered but assume it is mostly all still there. Dont get me wrong, he does some excellent work, but his time on here he really was quite shitty.

  "Forced" study with an Elder - The first question i will pose, help appreciated.

  by CitizenofEarth in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  hello folks.

  as some of you might know my dad couldnt keep quiet about my view of the world, so i have been "forced" to study with an elder.

  otherwise i would be dragged to questioning, which is to much pressure for a young inexperienced person like me.

  As you are baptised then your options are limited unless you dont mind being disfellowshipped and kicked out of the home.

  So if you dont intend or want that then dont try to be clever and win anything here, either avoid it altogether or play along biding your time until you can quit on your own terms.

  The Russian letters

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so all the jw's i know are practically wetting their pants in excitement over the russian letters they are sending out.

  they seem to have this insane idea that putin's office will be pulled sky high with all these letters and they have this image in their imaginations of him having to open and read every letter (!).

  also all the jw's i know have all put their name and address on the letter... which couldn't have any repercussions of course (!

  Thankfully my uber dub mother thinks it is a stupid idea and wont be participating in any letter writing campaign, her reasoning was it is meddling in what may be big Js will as well as politics.

  Good on you for binning them, I'd have shredded or burnt them just to be safe though.

  i'm a new member so wanted to say 'hi'.

  i live in the u.k, was born in, fell away as an unbaptised publisher, got baptised in my 30s for reasons i'm retrospectively unsure of, and lost my faith about five years ago around the time of the original a.r.c.

  now, being unable to leave is making me physically, emotionally and mentally ill.. i have been visiting this forum for a couple of years and wanted to post my first message to see if anyone has attended, heard or watched the zone visit broadcast thing happening this month?

  The "what if they are right" thing will be there for quite a while (i think most of us have had this to varying degrees) and only really dissipates with proper research. Until you prove for yourself (i.e dont just take anyones word for it) that it is all baloney by doing real research then you will be stuck in this mind set.

  Heck, I've been out 7 years, know it's a cult, I'm an atheist yet still occasionally the nagging ingrained thoughts will come that I wish it were true or that just maybe they were onto something. It is just the programming I have suffered since birth surfacing now and again, I know this and dismiss those thoughts or feelings for what they are, ingrained thoughts and feelings based on zero evidence whatsoever and regrets over a wasted life.

  In case you havent been there: www.jwfacts.com is a good place to start.

  You really need to open your eyes to the bigger picture here instead of just living your life trying to please your parents while your own life is destroying you. How long will it be before they are dead an you can claim your freedom? You only have one life, there is no point in wasting it trying to please others in a cult where nothing you do is ever really good enough anyway. That is such a wasted life.
