Moshe - So damn true, they screw the JWs hard and yet the R&F continue to take it all as you said "without one iota of proof" This still gets me to this day, when I have shown certain ones proof that discredits them (586/7 BC) they just don't care! The mind boggles
Retrovirus - Excellent, I was trying to work out how to add something like that yet my brain was blank. Love it.
GLTirebiter - Another great one, thanks, why couldn't I think of these?
Thanks guys! Keep them coming...

We say things we do not believe
We think things we do not say
We are the Watchtower Society of Secrets
We wear honesty as a neck tie
We act out lies that end up our noose
We are the Watchtower Society of Secrets
We front load our words with kindness
We back stab our friends with bitterness
We are the Watchtower Society of Secrets
We are striving for perfection
We are destined for destruction
We are the Watchtower Society of Secrets
We speak in spite of the very bond the binds us
We silence the ones that reject us
We are the Watchtower Society of Secrets
We tell our followers to shun their loved ones
We encourage our followers & their children to die for us
We are the Watchtower Society of Secrets
We protect our image no matter who gets hurt
We must protect our bottom line at all co$t
We are the Watchtower Society of Secrets
We place ourselves on high
While our followers waste their lives away slaving for us
We are a terrible cult!
Please add to this:We are the Watchtower Society of Secrets.....

i was thinking about this the other day when doing a bit of tidying up of my wardrobe.
all the kh suits are now pushed to the back of the wardrobe and i am seriously thinking about a visit to the charity shop to get rid of most of them.. for me one of the (few) enjoyable aspects of being a jw was getting dressed up.
my secular work very rarely involves putting on a dress suit & tie so i miss getting dressed up - smart suit , tie , shiny shoes , slapping on the aftershave.
"i explain how i learned from a history of god by karen armstrong that the evidence indicates that the jewish concept of monotheism evolved from the syncretism of various polytheistic sources like canaanite and babylonian polytheism".

a ny bethelite is in town.
he arrived yesterday.
his dad is not doing well.. he has no idea i was a jw, let alone apostate.
last week, i told you i was going to tell my daughter that i was leaving the truth this weekend and you all gave me sound advice.
but, i cannot keep a secret this heavy from the person i love most on this earth, my only daughter, who is beautiful inside and out.. well, i have always had an open and honest relationship with my daughter, and i guess it paid off.
this weekend i visited my daughter (who lives in another state) and i told her i was leaving "the truth.
jk666- the really sketchy years-part 4. a lot of what i am going to say here, is piecing together fragmented pieces of my memory.
i really was a good kid that fell into bad circumstances.. i was the fair haired boy in my congregation.
i was a true believer, even after that awful incident.
If anyone gives a shit.
I think people do, but more importantly, you will likely help someone without even knowing it. So many lurk here without registering or commenting.
Every story like yours is another nail in the coffin for this cult. Your words here on JWN will live on long after you & I are dead & buried.

JK, stay strong my friend! Don't let this shitty cult tear you down.
Life normally gets better when you leave, unless you have been damaged from your past so badly that you can't let go. If so find help wherever possible. At the very very least let it all out here or PM me if you like, whatever works for you.
I feel for you my friend, even though I can NEVER imagine the pain you went through or the pain you are experiencing now.
Time helps heal but people helping you along the way speeds things up.
