  Fading hurts so much!!

  by ILoveTTATT in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  yet another update on my story:.

  for various reasons, i still have to go to all meetings.

  (i am looking to change my personal circumstances to allow me to live somewhere else so i can fade easier)... i actually don't mind going to the mid-week meeting since i can comment on the bible reading, and slowly but surely i can introduce little seeds of cognitive dissonance... making it seem like i am super interested in what the interlinear says or that people can actually go and check out the manuscripts for themselves online!

  The more emotional distance you can put between you and the religion, the better you will feel.

  The ability to distance yourself is part of the healing process.

  The more distance you gain, the healthier you will feel. Just remember any guilt you feel is part of religious conditioning, it has nothing to do with your spirituality. Spirituality and Religion are very separate things. Leaving the religion doesn't mean you left your spiritual nature, which is inherently built into you. The guilt will ease with time plus your growing awareness of the religion's false face.

  Keep your plans to yourself because within the silence lies your power. You are safe to share your feelings on this forum, but not a good idea at the KH.

  Love and best wishes for a successful exit!

  The comment I posted on that site is live now.

  Love your comment, Scully!

  I'm all in favor of calling the WT and Awake! one of the most popular magazines. It's very popular with cat owners and bird owners, for collecting their pets' crap in litter boxes and bird cages all over the globe.

  So true!

  I would love to get my hands on an original edition "Aid" Book! It has stuff in it that the newer versions don't have! It's great reference material to prove that the jws are re-writing their own history.

  Is (a possible) revised NWT prompted by lapsing copyright?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the united states i gather that copyright lasts for the lifetime of the author plus 70 years.

  if copyright only lasts for 70 years from publication of anonymous works, then copyright for the nwt of the christian greek scriptures would be due to run out in a few years.

  watchtower leaders probably don't like the idea of others being able to publish hard copies or circulate the nwt in ebook format.

  My comment is "still awaiting moderation"

  I suppose if the JWs are moderating, the comment will never see the light of day.
