What Convinced you to Leave?

by LaurenM in

i've been posting here a lot, but these last few weeks have been very difficult for me.

anyways, lately, i've been thinking about confessing everything i've done to the elders and going back, but deep down, i don't really think it's the truth...so my question is, what convinced you it wasn't the truth and that leaving wasn't a horrible decision that everyone in the truth makes it out to be?

LaurenM:

An elder's son raped my sister, they DF'd her for promiscuity, immorality and slander but he was only reproved dispite the authorities charging him for sexual battery and assault. They were also all racist to the extreme degree while claiming in God's eyes we were all the same.

Lauren my question to you is:

In the time you have been a member of this forum, have you done any research on the Org - their failed prophecies, the origins of the Org being implicated with the occult, the willful misleading with lies and twisted facts? What about the Royal Comission which was and still is a topic of discussion here? If you have read all the available information surely you would realize the bOrg is a load of BS, so why the need for confirmation from others and why they left? Why would you want to go back?

I'm just speculating here, but thinking back to your post asking if there were any good wordly people because you had one bad experience with a guy, I'm wondering if this one bad experience has left you feeling confused and disillusioned? If so please reconsider. You are still so new to the reality of life outside the bOrg and not being patient and giving yourself more time to discover what freedom outside the bOrg really offers. Denying yourself this opportunity is really cheating yourself out of the chance to fully explore this freedom which awaits you. I wish you lived nearby, i would happily help you realize how phenomenally wonderful freedom outside the bOrg is. I hate the idea of good people being sucked back in to that disgusting cult and throwing their life away for an organization that doesn't care an iota about anyone. Please hang in there!

Millions Now Living by Punkofnice

by SecretSlaveClass in

i recieved the book on friday afternoon and finished it last night.

i thoroughly enjoyed it, particularly experiences you won't find in the yearbook.

my wife is now reading it (she was never a zombie) and is finding the terms used by jws and their meanings in simple terms very helpful since she reads this forum even though she is not a participant.

Highly recommendeded particularly for those who are interested in joining the Org or are curious about it. The humor in it is quite the French tickle. Worth every cent!

The other book is Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin, a homework assignment from professor Cofty. I'm half way into it and loving it. If you have an interest in human physiology and it's evolution this book is a must. It's super informative and I love the author's writing style. It's already answered a lot of questions. Thanks Cofty!

WHAT ARE YOUR MOST VIVID, ODD, or FUNNY Memories of Conventions and Assemblies of Jehovah's Witnesses?

by Balaamsass in

share with us memories of the bizarre, funny, strange, what you hated, what you miss...we all have them.

(question..why the big to do between terms- convention and assembly .

SecretSlaveClass

I was around 7 yrs old. Were were attending an assembly at the Kings Park soccer stadium in Durban, South Africa. It was break time and the toilets were full with waiting lines. I had the runs so I ran with my hand crammed up between my clenched but cheeks, all the way to the edge of the practice field where I found a tree and let loose. Fortunately for me I was all alone but I did feel guilty for using a few pages out of my song book to wipe my butt. When my mom asked where my pages were I didn't lie and she just glared at me and reminded me how poor we were and how much a replacement would cost our family ... the equivalent of three loaves of bread or something.

Hebrew Was The First Language

by Bloody Hotdogs! in

according to the newest watchtower:.

jehovah communicated with adam in the garden of eden, using human language.

god likely did so in an ancient form of hebrew.

SecretSlaveClass

freemindfade4 minutes agoNo offense to my modern Hebrew speakers... but for me it is not the prettiest language. Arabic either.
I think we should all speak Italian when we get to the paradise petting zoo

I want the universal language to be San Bushman so I can laugh at people trying to get the clicks right.

I once found bear scat in the back of my truck. Therefore My conclusion is bears prefer to take a crap in trucks.

anyone in the usa following this morning's shooting "on-air" live tv will know what i'm talking about.

bryce williams (not real name, but on-air name) shot and killed 2 people on live television this morning in roanoke, va. he was wearing a go-pro camera, and uploaded his first-person video onto his social media accounts.

i've seen his twitter feed (before it was taken down), and not very far down he mentions being raised a jw.

I'm a bigot. I hate everyone who seek to harm others, socially, psychologically or physically regardless of their tools, be it religion, politics, crime or the individual choice to do so.

On poverty, crime and brutality:

no one can deny that these three are supreme bedfellows. I have been assigned to countries fom Europe to South America and Asia. There is no boubt that where there is poverty there is sub-par education (if any) and therefore irrational thinking and behavior. All too often crime and brutality are revered, seen as currency for respect and leadership. FMF has a very valid point in that crime is the primary concern and therefore how to eradicate it, vs. the second concern which are the tools for criminals.

Please bare in mind I am referring to crime in general, not specific crimes like rampage shooting.

Wow ignorance is out on full display this afternoon. Thanks LisaRose ans Wasanelder for showing what the difference is between being informed and teaching us something and ignorance that makes us wonder what the hell someone is on about.
