by Zordino in

jw
friends

hello all, i've been on this site for a few weeks (reading for longer) and i have to say this site has helped me a great deal.

i see from reading all the posts that many many people share my views on the whole jw thing and i'm so glad i can express myself without getting into problems with getting reported to the elders or something.

i am currently in my late 30's happily married to a jaydub with 2 kids.

Love the fact that more & more old timers continually keep waking up.... Brilliant...

Welcome to the Real World.... Now to work on getting your family out without much effort, easier said than done.... :z

a woman stated on the following jw forum that she was going to her first assembly on sunday and asked was was to be suspected (wrong use of english grammar i know but thats what she asked so i socked it to her...).

i said 'interested one' you need to get rid of all your twilight books, because they are satanic.

I said 'interested one' you need to get rid of all your Twilight books, because they are Satanic. What is more you need to lose all your worldly friends off facebook because they are mentally diseased and to be likened to a contagious disease as they may try & stumble you and you really have come so far....

So far I have stayed on this forum for months unscathed - I must come across as some over jealous JW....
Needless to say my comments have now been removed but Im still a page member ! lol I was only quoting that she needed to get rid of her twilight books because the forum page has been ranting on about it for the past week because they considered them satanic....

Very touchy of them .. dont you think this interested one had a right to know the Truth as they know it ....... :-) lol

DON'T SPEND TIME WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES.

by Hairyhegoat in

these comments and the references to the old publications are a true find.

have a read of this and you will never become one of the jw's!.

don't associate with outsiders (non-jehovah's witnesses).

sleepingbeauty

Thought I'd have a good look at these references myself.... So I've dug out my copy of the '2003 Edition' of the WT Library Disc (WTs go back to 1950, Awakes 1970, and ALL the other publications ie: Youth book of 1976 are on it). All these references quoted at the beginning of this thread ARE accurate. No surprises there then !

Later editions of the WT library Disc's were edited by the Borg, so didn't contain half as much information as the original printed articles. (Maybe 'DesirousofChange' had access to a Newer Version of a Library Disc, which had been edited, or maybe he just chooses to be ignorant...

The borg needed to distance themselves from older teachings from within their older publications as part of a damage limitation process. Volumes for these Older articles are no longer within Kingdom Hall Librarys either because old teachings are regarded as Apostate Material. God forbid any modern day JW reads them! LOL

Maybe Desirousofchange & a few of the other posters who have negative views of this thread need to surf ebay to purchase older WT volumes and then they will see in BLACK & WHITE exactly what was printed in the original publications!

Shame on you guys for not doing your homework & making this thread out as inaccurate.

for the most part, i am able to understand how my family treats me.

i was a jw for 20 years...since birth.

i used to shun people.

If you gave that quilt back it would close the doors on your friendship forever. Keep it, cherish it & maybe curiousity will get the better of her & she will come to your aid if not now in the future :) Whatever you do keep those doors open & treasure that quilt ... x

Wholesouled...

by sleepingbeauty in

when i was a gormless super spiritual jw i did absolutely everything to the sanctification & glory of jehovahs name... i was a total perfectionist & i soo didnt want to bring any ill repute towards jehovah or the congregation, that with absolutely everything i did, i gave it my 100%.

i was a total boot licker doing everything just so in every area of my life... .

since waking up to the truth about the truth, i can no longer give my all to things.

sleepingbeauty

Yer, I can see that my days as a perfectionist were completely brainless & did nothing but probably drive others insane... So thats where my problem is, I do little or as little as possible for a quiet life.. Lifes two extremes at opposite ends of the spectrum, finding the balance is whats difficult....

all i can say is "wow!

" in the 10 years i've been out i had no idea that forums like this existed.

a tad naive-sounding for someone with a background in it, i know, but it's taken me this long just to feel comfortable enough to type 'jw' into google.

sleepingbeauty

Awww Big Hugs Mummatron, lovely to hear you are finally free from the Borg, you will find this forum a massive big help, I know I did. You will be suprised at how quick a lot of your emotional problems will be healed so keep sharing & the Real Truth will set you Free !!! ....

I'm too from the UK & am based in Staffordshire. :)

Since waking up to the Truth about the Truth, I can no longer give my all to things. I just cant be bothered. Why can't I just give the same 100% I always did?

Does anyone else have this kind of problem? I know a lot from the world of JW's are perfectionists, so how does everyone else overcome this ... :0
