Hi, all...I'm a faithful JW who is sick of lies about us

by James Donalds in

i was baptized 30 years ago and have been in the faith for over 35 years.. our organization isn't perfect.

but i'm sick to death of seeing stereotypes about us.

we are not mindless automatons.

By your own actions and views the organisation. You hold dear would consider you a weak and dangerous person.

The JWs are STATISTICALLY poor and uneducated. Check out the PEW studies.

As for being automatons, go read up on 607 bce and see what happens if you refuse to disagree with the evidence....

you will no doubt be able to smoke as many cigars as your disfellowshiped apostate ass wishes to....

Flat earth vs round earth

by Jrjw in

my brother has been talking about the earth being flat and some big conspiracy going on to make people beieve otherwise.

what are people's thoughts on this?.

We live in the Information Age. Sadly not everyone can critically appraise the information.

For any parents out there denying their children Christmas, stop ........ it’s cruel.

Pacifism is Morally Indefensible

by cofty in

i have been surprised recently to see so much support by ex-jws for the watchtower's refusal to fight and kill.

in my opinion it is a vice masquerading as a virtue.

of course war should always be a last resort but there are occasions that it has to be done.

I now wear my poppy with pride.

War is evil, but so is genocide and injustices. For those that give and gave their lives for us, how dare we denounce them and declare the upper moral ground.

The wife told me I think too much...

by James Mixon in

jw
friends

please tell me how not to think too much and get a good night sleep.

when i was a jw i didn't think too much because i knew everything, but now my mind works overtime.

how in the hell can i shut it down and stop the anxiety???

snare&racket

Just to add my few cents......there is nothing wrong with thinking too much!

However it is good to find mechanisms of cognitive ‘wind down’. For me I love documentaries, podcasts or video games. They require enough brain engagement that they prove a nice distraction and work well.

How do I handle this?

by Phoebe in

jw
friends

a little advice please.. it's now 7 months since i stopped going to meetings.

we still get regular calls by elders - at least every 2 weeks.

i can handle them.

Having left for the last 12 years, I just stopped playing their silly game and their silly rules. It’s all BS anyway and their authority and impact stops at the Kingdom Hall door.

Can't believe we are still here

by moreconfusedthanever in

just this week i had the jws knock on my door.

sisters from my old congregation.

we exchanged the usual polite conversation.

snare&racket

The JW’s are for sure....are starting to see the BS. They have had 30 yrs of ITS HERE!!.....

All the things they were promised as infants, kids, children, teens, young adults, adults, middle aged and now elderly..... haven’t come to pass.
