I'm 16 and I might be pregnant In a JW household

by NYsweet16 in

okay, i don't even know where to start.

i'm 16, i live in a strict jw household and i know if i am pregnant (which is a big possibility) ..i know i'm doomed to a life of misery.

not because of my baby but because of my family and the isolation and judgement from the congregation.

Sofia Lose:

First of all she never blamed anyone for her predicament. She did acknowledge that her predicament was made worse by the fear of judgement and being disowned by her JW family and their cult network of friends. In my opinion your calous remarks are par for the course as a JW zombie, I bet you fit in nicely with all the other judgemental and self righteous zombies. And yes I just passed character judgement on you, the difference is you're not a scared and troubled young lady in a potentially bad situation so I don't particularly care. A more apt name for you would be Sofia Loser. I'm glad you're not my parent although you and my mom would get along swell together.

Who Really is ..... The Blood Washed Multitude (Great Crowd) ?

by Perry in

for jw's the issue has never been who the faithful and wise servant (f&ds) was.

that is just misdirection and sleight of hand.

it is plain from the context that this was obviously a rhetorical question meant for self introspection.

SecretSlaveClass

Bonsai
Maybe that blood washed multitude crowd consists of all those who murdered and were murdered in the name of the son and his father.. 5,000 years of blood, genocide, mayhem and human sacrifices make it a number too numerous to count.

My thoughts exactly! But of course, that couldn't possibly be the case because that would suggest that Christianity is guilty of blood-letting, when Christianity has done nothing other than spread the teachings of "Christ" about love and non-judgement, right?

Biblical interpretation is always tailored to fit the "My religion's right and your's is wrong" rhetoric.

Inside Scientology and Escaping the Witnesses - Mon 24th channel 5

by not bitter in

jw
friends

thats it really.

uk channel 5 at pm mon 24th.. maybe its already been posted but sounds interesting.

SecretSlaveClass

Thanks for the upload! I had to laugh at the end: The Jehovah's Witnesses website claims that disfellowshipped persons are not cut off and day-to-day dealings may continue". That's a blatant lie that the zombies are clearly aware of, it's on THIER holy site, yet the lie is justified somehow by the R&F. Clearly the Borg is hiding a truth that is both harmful and a blight on their image as a loving religion and they know it. And THAT, dear friends, is why I refuse to make any distinction between the GB and the R&F die-hards when I say I hate JWs.

The elders of the 1980s are now in their 60s and 70s

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

having just come back from the uk and spoke with some witnesses to find out how my old congregation is doing, i realized i am now the age that my elders were when i was a kid.

and i wonder what the elders who are now in their 60s and 70s are thinking when they look in the mirror and an old face looks back at them.

many of the elders in my old hall are now retired.

After having invested so much of their lives seriously doubt the vast majority would start contemplating alternatives to the Borg at this late stage in their lives.

" See ourselfs as others see us"

by The Rebel in

jw
friends

the membership rule is simple, you join the organisation for life and undertake to serve for life.. my o.p is based on the poet robert burns who talked about the gift to " see ourselfs as others see us".

i think maybe the hardest thing for me to leave, the jehovers witness " organisation" was to accept how my family and friends will now "see" me.. so my questions are how difficult was it to leave:-.

a) knowing the reaction of friends and family?.

SecretSlaveClass

It was worth it for me, but then again it was infinitely easier for me since I wasn't baptized and only my immediate family were witnesses, so I had lots of uncles, aunts and cousins who thought my mom and brother were nut cakes (my dad was just a publisher). Also, I had heaps of worldly friends and even some of my JW friends still hung out with me. For those of you who are/were baptized, have die-hard zombies for spouses with kids, and entire families in the Borg with few or no contacts on the outside, I think you're incredibly brave for breaking away. You all have my sincere and utmost respect.

How are you spreading TTATT?

by vinman in

just wondering if anyone has used any underhanded ways of spreading ttatt.

i mean, has anyone made up business cards or tracts and spread them far and wide?

i would love to engage in this "alternative witnessing".

SecretSlaveClass

I take very opportunity to chat with them about three key issues:

1914

Overlapping generations

1975 and the other failed prophecies

And now the new one: the GB aren't god's chosen, according to GJ. This particular one (video of him using "presumptuous") is on my phone as are a few others.

A few different scriptures so they don't assume I'm someone who's clueless about the bible.

I NEVER talk atheism with them, I find it instantly shuts them off. For me I've always had better success picking topics they can immediately identify with or better - have experienced themselves, like the 1914 gen almost all being dead but still no sight of the end.

If I seem them offerimg someone literature or having a chat I ALWAYS interject and ruin their "pitch".

Since I gave the last two who came to my door a good talking to, I haven't seen one in my neighborhood for at least a year.

Introducing Myself

by Peony in

i've finally got round to joining the site (after over 2 years lurking!

i was born into jws, pioneered for 10 years (met my husband at pioneer school).

had health issues that saw me catapulted away from 'the centre of the cong' and wow what a different place that was!

SecretSlaveClass

Pewony:

Your story made me grin and want to clap as I always do when I read about those who set themselves free. I must commend your husband for his courage and loyalty choosing you above the Org, as is what you would expect from anyone claiming to love you. This should be great encouragement for those still trapped by that cruel cult. Welcome to the forum and the rest of your real life!
