Wow a ton of good advice on here for you, and Dario jesus this the best advice absolutely!

"One final tip: read ex-member stories from OTHER religions. Reddit has sub forums for ex-mormons, ex-7th day, ex scientologists... watch TV shows & documentaries about people who've left a different religion and it's amazing, the similarities. All cults use the same tactics. Those people suffer the same thoughts and fears exjws do ("OMG what have I done? I'm gonna die at Armeggedon!" "Oh sure, the mormons are effed up, that's crazy, but... JWs have the truth! Right???"). On those forums, you'll see posts of letters, emails and text messages from friends, family & ranking people from their cult with the exact same guilt-tripping and manipulative tactics. ALL cults do this, young lady. Your are a victim of cult abuse and you need to hear that! Know it. Investigate it. A 19th Century New England PRINTING COMPANY is not god!!!!

please stay in touch with us and ENJOY your recent freedom. I mean it! Enjoy!"

New here

by MarkofCane in

hello and thanks to everyone for participating on this forum it has really been of much value, for those of you that post here know that your words are not lost you never know who is reading your expressions, lives are being changed and nonsense challenged.

i’m not much of a writer so excuse my untrained writing style and grammar but i want to share my story to help anyone who is visiting here to see that we are real people, fathers, mothers, sons and daughters who have come here for answers, there is no agenda, just searching for truth.

i hope my story will help others as so many here have helped me..

MarkofCane ........ beautifully written, thank you for sharing.

That gut level of understanding is precious for you & for all of us. No one will ever "get it" like those who have been through this kind of crazy!

I do hope you will write out the rest of this era in your life and move on with your family to new beginnings.

Even though I didn't wake-up to realize what was really going on until later in life ....... I still treasure each day of freedom from this totalitarian group who front a 'Land Grabbing Printing CO ........ with a cultish religion !

People who still have some of their own heart & mind left are leaving in crowds.

Watchtower is bleeding out and they know it ....... the target has now become our CHILDREN. They used to say we do not baptize children ..... they would ignore our children & recommend spanking to shut them up at the KH .......... now all those "cute little stories" with Caleb ...omg ........and the harping about baptism to chain even 9 & 10 year olds to this evil money sucking cult! I shudder.

Welcome to you and your family........

What are the economics of cart witnessing?

by slimboyfat in

on another thread shepherdless sketched out the past business model of jws and its demise.

until 1990 they were a straightforward publishing business with the tremendous advantage of free labour in production and free distribution agents.

since then they've been relying on donations for literature to keep the old model going.

clarity

The thing that makes me laugh when I see them is the distance they put between them & the cart ........... the cart just sits there by itself like it stinks to high heaven ha ha ... honestly I don't dare stop & talk to them, I just couldn't keep a straight face!

Jookbeard .........nice to see your name again. I have only been around since 2010....... miss a lot of the old timers who helped me wake-up. Also miss the old site!

A candid shot of these guys tells a lot more than the made-up faces they put forward on their "TV Shows"! All over weight pasty faced buffoons!

Imagine Aliens coming to earth and saying ..."take me to your leader"......and Steven Lett appears .....omg!

Where the real abuse lies.

by ctrwtf in

jw
friends

let me start with a disclaimer: i am in no way minimizing the horrific crimes done to children by pedophiles.

i'm not downplaying the number of lives lost due to the blood issue, or hearts broken because of shunning.

i do not want to discount the feelings of those who have come to the end of their lives with expectations of paradise postponed.. but to me the biggest atrocity committed by this awful cult is raising children from a small age to believe that soon god will kill billions of people.

clarity

This disgusting watchtower teaching infects all other areas of their lives.

When loved ones die, there is a gloom that hangs in the air. They are quite expressionless........as though the psyche & heart have been so abused .......like an overstretched rubber band ..... there is just a shrug of the shoulders ......oh well .. god will bring them back !

They feel that it is just as well people die, because then god won't slaughter them at Armageddon! Better to be dead I guess. (sarcasm)

As far as Education ........why bother.

Career .......... why bother

Marriage ...... only important thing ......mate is a jw!

Does this make you feel good? Coz it makes me feel bad.....

i just watched this clip on youtube....i can't begin to say how it made me feel.

, i'm not sure who i am more annoyed about.

the bloke doing the commentry, the punk shouting at a serious and should be respectful religious event, or some of the youtube comments that follow.. and i find this so disrespectful.

clarity

Seems to me, that when we say "as long as it saves just one person from this society" ........ we too are practicing the 'us & them' game. Putting our selves above others. US & THEM dehumanizes us. Should we not consider people who are JW's no different from Baptists, Catholics etc

The congregations are made up of families...for the most part. Families like yours.

When my children were very small there was an upset at a meeting one night......that made them shake afterward & worry about evil slaves (lots of talk of them then) and they were afraid. I was really pissed about that.

All I am saying is, we need to think of all of us as being fellow humans .....and be careful of what we are doing. Is it hurting or helping?

"Point I thought is that this jerk could be sitting infront of my mum or worse still my 90 year old nan"

With that being said ........ lets think about this, when we are trying to help other people. Are we really helping or hurting.

Think about a small child,... your little girl, your Granny, your ill brother .... imagine what you would want to happen right in front of their faces. A kinder softer message may be the result.
