Have you grown detached from caring about JW family and old friends?
by tootired2care inafter being out of the borg for a year and a half, weve dealt with a lot of nonsense from local elders stopping by unannounced, well-meaning do-gooders trying to encourage us.
somehow weve managed to get through this without getting dfd/dad.
for me the worst part of it all has been that much of my family has shunned me, and stopped talking to me, as soon as they heard through the grapevine that i wasnt going to meetings.

Excellent subject
>
This thread should be required reading to all who study with
jehovah's witnesses ...... before baptism!
>
Is the feeling, sadness, when living through shunning & cold
shouldering ... by those who supposedly love us?
>
Or is it more SHOCK.... sort of an 'out of body' experience.
Like .... can this be real, pinch me so I can wake-up!
>
I am still standing there, with my mouth hanging open, stage,
sometimes I'm amused ...but more & more I am detaching
and creating a wall around myself ... to keep them at bay!

The cult of death
by Apostating inyesterday i heard that the day before two people from my former congregation had died (this is in the netherlands, schiedam).
their deaths are a little bit related and i think it is a very sad story.. a young boy from sixteen old years hanged himself.
his little sister found him in his room.

Apostating ... hi ...thanks for posting!
This a very long & sad road, strewn with casualties!
>
When I look back after 50 yrs, I remember many.
Not always leading to death ...but insanity & total
health breakdown, of some very young people.
>
Looking forward to hearing more from you

Horribly ... beautifully expressed.

My thoughts echo these words...

"Now I'm older, now I'm wiser, but now it is too late- life is fast slipping away. Through my tears, I cry out for my beautiful daughter and grandchildren, but you grip them tighter and tighter and tell them that YOU will be their "mother." ...And so you are, and so you are!

Hi Aussie Oz great to see you here again
Watchtower has changed a whole lot of things ...
not much sense in explaining them tho... as they will
just be changed again as soon as they realize "Oh wait
this isn't working out, ...damn!"

I fear the GB more than I fear a God
by Comatose ini realized this about myself yesterday.
i was noticing how on a thread i thought about commenting on, i held back out of a fear i still have of speaking out against the governing body.
i have been disrespectful to the god of the bible and openly proclaimed i do not think he exists.

The organization is steeped in this mind set.

Update on fading
by Skipper12 inhaven't posted anything here since my first post almost 5 months ago (you can read it here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/experiences/255032/1/great-roi-successfully-fading#.uopjv-kdzyi), but i'm lurking around here almost on a daily basis.. short update:.
- all jw's on my part of the family are fully awake about ttatt and have fast-forwarded into 'fading mode'.
they are missing meetings, no longer go out in field service (but still send a fictious time slip at the end of the month), have missed the recent assembly.. - my father is now an ex-elder.

Skipper12 ... Well hi ...what a fabulous post!
>
Thanks for giving us the pleasure of hearing about this.
>
Any chance your Mom would come on or MIL?
>
"I think most of the disfellowshipped persons that haven't learned TTATT are
still in some way trapped inside the cult's mind control"
>
As far as leaving, like your Mom did, & then not understanding
that it was not her lack of faith...but was that she was in a cult,
I too wasted another 20+ yrs...until I found out TTATT!
>
I hope you continue to join the discussions here & use your
newly found experiences to help those also trying to escape.

Good to see you here.

MAJOR DOCTRINE CHANGE IN 1/15/2014 WT ON GENERATION TEACHING
by EndofMysteries inthe generation scripture no longer is speaking about 'the end'.
i'll quote it...... side note: tons of lies in this article, i'll point out at the end of the post.
"yet, jesus words at matthew 24:34 give us confidence that at least some of "this generation will by no means pass away" before seeing the start of the great tribulation.".
