hello everyone, i know you have heard this topic before and your probably thinking.
...not again lol.. but i was wondering if anyone has thought of going back for the same reasons as myself, i don't think its the truth but i searched and my conclusion is that other religions don't have the truth, they are all wrong in my opinion.
if there is no other religion to go too, why leave were i was born and raised.
Oh, yes, yoU will find people who will understand your past and will embrace you. Don't go back to a cult because you feel you won't fit in elsewhere. If you don't really believe JW bullsh!!, it will be revealed in some way, somehow, and it won't turn out well for you.
Leave on your own terms when you control the situation. If you stay, you will probably become romantically involved with someone and that will mess your life up real fast. Consider other options, please.
i have been posting on here for a few weeks now and i know i have been quite colourful in my language.. i hope i have'nt offended anyone, if so, i am sorry.. i'm just so damn angry about everything.
i feel like an idiot.
i'd been falling for the bs for so many years.. will these feelings ever fade?.
Jonathan: great news!
QCF: I am very angry alsoATM my wasted life. I spent the foerst 57 years of my life in the cult. I feel better when I warn everyone I can about Jehovah's Witnesses. I never let an opportunityto by without telling everyone I can, everyone, about the shunning, the blood doctrine, and the other BS. No one I work with will ever become a JW I assure you. That makes me feel a bit better.
Amazing!
they society wanted these people in china to put a good word for them to legalize the work in the communist land.
the officials said, they just couldn't get the officials to do that but would put a good word for them anyway.. the sh*t these people dream up!.
Outlaw provided my first laugh of the day...thanks.
lost my job, just a week before making the final arrangements to move into my very own apartment.. got a speeding ticket on the following sunday for trying to make it to the meeting "on time", (never made it to the hall, just parked in the back of a shopping center for 2 hours in silence).. marked by the elders for quitting pioneering, no more commenting and "failing to adhere to bible counsel".. jw family sees me as a disappointment.
non-jw family is too far away to care.. found out ex-girlfriend got df'ed and is now pregnant.
puts some of the blame on me for how things turned out.. realizing that she's not entirely wrong as i was still an ignorant, kiss-ass, die hard jwdub when we started dating, always putting the "kingdom interests first" never having time for her since "the end was so freaking close" and then warping her up in the mess of me learning ttatt.. dwelling night after night in "what could have been" if i had never been a jw.. alternating between being a theist, atheist and agnostic on a daily basis to the point where i don't care anymore yet getting creeped the f*ck out when facing my own mortality and the thought of me dying alone.. always coming to the same conclusion, when i find myself alone on friday nights and weekends, that i have no actual friends, only two conditional jw "friends" which are both currently out of town for about a month and 0 real, non-jw friends.. haven't been able to sleep well in literally weeks now.
Focus on the number one thingthou need fix do to fix your life. First is probably a new job. Focus, focus, focus and you will get there.
not sure if this has already been brought up.. it appears that the verses in matthew 21:29 and matthew 21:30 have been transposed from one translation to the other.. the 'old' nwt in vs 29 & 30 states:.
'in answer this one said, "i will sir, but did not go out"'.
verse 30 reads: 'approaching the second, he said the same.
This information is nice to know. Very interesting!
anybody have any plans to chase black cats under ladders while breaking mirrors and spilling salt?.
It was a good day for me...my boss is superstitious and took the whole day off!
well,i have been lurking here for a couple of years.
i was babtized at 16 for all of the wrong reasons and when i moved out after highschool i really never looked back, although i suppose i always thought it was the truth.
at 36 i met the love of my life.
Welcome, Brainfloss. It is always nice to learn of new people who have escaped the organisation.
it seems in most congregations there is always the same personality types of brothers and sisters in each congregation.
self righteous ones.
holier than thou, exemplary, with dc/ca parts every year family.
Oh, I forgot about the couple that has a screaming kid who is constantly disrupting the meetings and is taken to the back for a good spanking.

There are the socialites who are always having parties and only inviting "the beautiful people."
Also there is a fashion monitor that goes around telling other sisters that their neckline is too low, hemline too high,telling the young brothers their hair is too long, they need to shave, etc.
