I could have wrote that same letter, I am going through the earlier stages of what you have gone thru. WT is an evil, corrupt entity, and WORSE than ALL other false religions combined. The trail of false doctrines will follow them like a burning trail of gasoline from a Ford Pinto forever as long as we all have voices to point it out. Sad for you but be strong!

Getting my first tattoo
by akafreelife inwell on wednesday i am going to be getting my first tattoo.
i have had this particular piece of art that i have wanted for years but was too afraid to put it to skin as it will require a great amount of detail.
but i finally decided to go for it.

I got my first tatoo last year....NO REGRETS......recently had a family blowout because one of my kids friends said tatoos were bad because Jahovuhs word said so I challenged her to show me where it says that and suddenly my house became a hotbed of hostility because I dared to question her on the subject. Unfortunately ALL JW 's are mind controlled the same way....sheesh!

had a friend years ago tell a story, we were late teens, it goes like this:
he said he was laying alone in his basement on a hideabed, was feeling frisky i guess so he said out loud:
Satan, if you wanted to, you could make me a woman to come here and have sex with me"
He said the picture above his head immediately began swinging back and forth, and heard a female voice gently calling his name, and felt something getting on the hideabed, he said he got spooked, got up, and as he ran upstairs he yelled, "jehovah get them out of here" and it all stopped.
At the time it gave me shiverrs, but i have since tried the same thing, but nothing ever happened.

The BEST way to "wake up" a JW
by Phizzy inwe have debated this over many years and in many threads, as all of us have family and/or former friends still in.
it seems that there is no "best" way to wake up a jw, it is as elusive as the "true" religion it seems.. but a comment made by poster "emery" on another thread stood out to me, he/she said :.
"what i have gathered is that most witnesses seem to be in it for emotional reasons.

I recently told my mother who has had mental issues all her life but they have escalated since my dad died last year she would get some relief if she wasn't subjected to WT mind control because they definately do use it.
After some debate and her actually asking, "why would jehovah want to use mind control on us?" I asked her point blank, "when you got to meeting, who is doing the teaching, men or jehovah?"
She said "jehovah"
Then I said, "if doctrines or teachings have changed, didn't jehovah know he was teaching false doctrines?"
I told her how insulting it must be to attribute falsehoods to almighty god.
It got her to think, but then she said "ok' I don't want to continue with this conversation"
I said, "I told you at the start of our conversation that you would use the "thought stopping" technique, and you just did."
at least i made her think but she will never give it up

i can say that i personally used to count time rather liberally. IF i got out of bed that was an automatic hour. meeting for FS was counted, no deduction for breaks, if i was in the company of someone unbaptised, i counted that time with them, (heard of elders who did this alot in the cong. got the idea from that). After awhile i just put random numbers on time slip just to stay on as an MS.
with all the hype, i know ASS day, and DC parts are being given first to reg. pioneers, along with the drama parts and oversight so prestige hungry ones who crave the spotlight are signing up so they get dibs on these parts.
They are even announcing pioneer status when introducing bros now (aSS day and DC parts) makes me gag

TELL US, please, are you Pre or Post--Enlightenment in your thinking?
by Terry inbefore the age of enlightenment the earth was filled with many nations living under vastly differing beliefs about the world.. .
tribes, nations and empires possessed fanciful superstitious beliefs about their own importance in the big picture.. .
religion helped man find a place among fearful gods and demons.

Ha ha sounds good, BTW I'm definitely post enlightenment I have passed the stage where my thoughts and feelings about WT have turned to rage and not a single drop of guilt or hesitancy about whether I'm right or wrong. The only thing nagging me these days is the arguments in my head trying to devise the perfect way to awaken someone. Mine was helped by extreme grief due to loss of a family member just over a year ago. So it's true an episode of distress can wake you from mind control. It certainly did with me!

Confidential Materials!
by Atlantis inall documents of important nature such as, our kingdom ministry, boe letters, forms, or other materials will now be sent only by email or private message communications.
they will not be posted out here on the board.
if someone else wants to post them, be my guest.. .. we have no other choice in this matter, and sending out confidential documents is better when it is done privately.

I'm surprised they haven't devised a way to put serial numbers or bar codes on letters with info where they are headed that only show up when copied like bank checks. Maybe they will devise something but if it surfaced boy would it make a great news story of their paranoia.
