  Ignorance

  - "Higher education can lead us away from serving God"

  - "we don't need to go to college, it would be a waste of time and money"

  - "the literature and meetings are all we need for education"

  - "everything published by the WTBS is true, we don't need to check their facts"

  - "we should avoid independent thinking, it can corrupt us"

  - "stop relying on your imperfect self, you should be putting your trust and faith in God"

  I am so glad that i got out before i became brain damaged from all this.

  Did you experience classdivision while being JW?

  we all know how jw brag about their strong internal love.

  all are treated equal no matter rank, color, money, status etc.

  is this really true?

  Yes...and it wasn't fun. Certain dubs received special treatments, and while the low tier dubs got the short end of the stick.

  One example: one sunday afternoon after the meeting, my elderly partner and i (both sisters from poor, divided households but still in good standing) were waiting to be assigned to a car group. It was fair weather, but there weren't a lot of dubs going out in f.s. Once everyone was assigned to a car group, we were the only pair left. The elder suggested that we should make arrangements beforehand. (if only he heard the "i'm sorry, i have other plans after the meeting" lines that we get) Then my partner started crying. We ended up doing street work and taking the bus home

  Movies that resonate with you as an ex-JW or awake JW

  the matrix - "do you want the blue pill or the red pill?

  ", "all i offer you is the truth", "ignorance is bliss", "the matrix is all around us".

  shutter island - creepy, is it real or isn't it, it turns out the whole thing is a dream.

  V for Vendetta (totalitarian government --> totalitarian WT)

  A Little Princess (Miss Minchin, the headmistress --> JW mother or WT, Becky, the servant girl --> lowly spiritual orphan)

  Forget about your exams - go for a weeks ministry June public WT

  bearing in mind that every experience in the watchtower has some kind of agenda behind it , what about this experience of a london girl going to ireland to preach & have a holiday.

  i was just waiting for the inevitable "i came home & passed all my exams with flying colours.

  " but it didn't say.. and what kind of responsible parent would take a child on holiday so that she could " take her mind off her exams.

  Reminds me of this one Assembly experience where a brother had an exam the day after the Assembly. At first he wanted to skip the Assembly so he could study, but his mom reminded him to put "God" first. So he ended up going to the Assembly and still receieved the highest grade on the exam.

  There's something about these experiences that don't always add up.

  Young adults who are disfellowshipped/disassociated and houselessness?

  by Aaron Eldridge in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was wondering if anyone knew of any individuals that became houseless when they were disfellowshipped or disassociated themselves.

  i know that i had to move out of my house within a few months after i disassociated myself, but i believe that if i did not have anywhere to go my parents would not have kicked me out of the house.. .

  I knew someone who dealt with this by joining the army. His family hasn't contacted him in years.

  I couldn't agree more. I had some former JW friends and family interfere with my life and gloat about my failures.

  Now with no driver's license, job, or college degree, and friends ... I'm now their "bad example" of what would happen when you leave the borg.

  But I'm still not going back, I'd rather be a "failing loser" in the world than a "failing loser" in the borg, lol.

  you may be a jw ........if you spent last saturday traped in a car with at least 4 other people you may be a jw.. if you have sat through a sheparding call where you were told you are unworthy you may be a jw.. if you have alienated your worldly relatives with your preaching you may be a jw.. if you have ticked some one of buy knocking on their door on one of their religous holidays you may be a jw.. if you think the governing body is goods direct channel you may be a jw.. if you have no clue when this system is going to end you may be a jw.. .

  you think smashing a chair on your child's back as love and proper discipline

  your love for your child depends on his or her "spiritual achievements"

  you get extemely disappointed at your child when he or she didn't comment during the meeting

  you celebrate your baptism day instead of your birthday

  you take your family to a printing factory as a vacation
