  every time they use the term "JW" they are deliberately not using the greatest name on earth. Why do they hate jehovah so much????

  My experience with a Judicial Committee, when in my early 20's

  by Dunedain in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i joined this wonderful site, only a few weeks ago, although i have been away from the borg, for almost 20 years.

  i didnt introduce myself, on a personal level, but i jumped right in, commenting, making threads, and just immersing myself in this community.

  what a time, indeed, to be here, its almost as if i was "called" here, because the week i lurked, and joined, was when all this recent stuff came out.

  Is my friend on the way out of the organisation?

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i left the watchtower i realised it was best to put friendships on hold.

  however i mentioned to my best friend that i didn't agree with how they handled child abuse issues and that was one of the reasons i left.. anyway as i am fortunate and own two rental apartments and he is a plumber so we have kept in contact, in that i email him when i require his services and he sends me the invoice.

  anyway i am now dissociated, but yesterday i emailed him about a pluming problem, and he replied.. " sorry we missed going to the indian ( this was a comment made about us having a meal together about 9 months ago, which i backed out of because i felt he was too indoctrinated and i had not disassociated myself) anyway his email continued:-.

  Hey rebel,

  Good news sure. Have a pint with him! This could so easily be brushed off by him as a a business meeting if he was questioned. Have a few, talk about old times and if the subj comes up just run with it as you see fit.

  If he is holding out his hand, you gotta reach for it!

  What it takes to keep separate from the world

  by Sabin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  check out this mag.

  june 15th, 1980.. without a doubt, our appreciating just how wicked & corrupt satan's world is will help us to keep separate from the world.

  such appreciation will make it easy for us to obey the command found at psalms 97:10 "o you lovers of jehovah, hate what is bad.

  crazyguy... and I am a child of those 80's. I remember hearing stupid shit like "1935" and wondering where that was in the bible... obviously never getting an answer. Even though I got out sooner then some I wish I would have had the courage to get out sooner than I did

  Everyone one with kids in this cult.... Know this.... The propaganda is excellently prepared for your children. My mother did not hit me hard with the end of the world shit but it was preached at the kingdom hall non-stop. I grew up KNOWING that armageddon was coming before I turned 20. It greatly hampered my opportunities as a young child and also as a teen and young adult. It took me 30 years to get the courage to say enough is enough. If you have young kids it is imperative to get your kids out... even if it is at the expense of your "friends" and other family members. Your relationship with your mother or father or grandma or grandpa is a distant 3rd place to getting yourself and your kids out.

  Invisible Rulership - one of the dumbest things I ever believed in

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  having now been out of the cult for a few years, it really shocks me about some of the nonsense i used to believe in.

  like for instance, christ ruling in the midst of his enemies, but doing so invisibly.. let's let that one sink in for a minute.

  you've supposedly got a king who is ruling for a kingdom, but it is an invisible rule.

  Hey banana...

  Was at one of the mega churches last week. Just staring at what an impressive structure and logistics its takes to get these things built. I couldnt help but thinking about all the people, energy, needless suffering and all the money.... throughout history that has been expended in the name of religion. For an unprovable deity that does not intervene in our lives at all.

  Oh well... gotta spend the lives, time and money somehow eh?

  Caleb and Sofia used to brainwash children

  okay, i need to vent.

  as a newly awoken individual, i have yet to "come out" to my hard core jdub parents.

  my plan was to lay low and use my unbelieving husband and baby as an excuse for my "inactivity", it has worked for the last few months.

  Shattered...

  You are free with your husband and most importantly your children. So many would dream to be in your position. GTFO!! I know its hard to hear but if you have to silence your own voice because of family or friends then they are toxic for you and your children.

  CO Comes Up With A New Way To Be Judgemental...

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  at the latest co visit something very strange happened.

  during the meeting with the elders and servants he passed out a copy of a hypothetical publisher card and asked us what we could learn from it.

  upon receiving it i saw that the average hours were pretty good, it had return visits and quite a few bible studies.
