  What made you leave "The Truth"?

  by Chemical Emotions in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for me it was many things.

  most concerned certain teachings that invloved genders, children, sex, sexuality and sexual orientations, disfellowshipping, apostates, blood, rape, and few other things, as well as the jw's unloving attitude toward so many people..

  One thing that pisses me off is that whenever someone does something their own way, perhaps because they are creative, and others think it will "stumble others", they are put in their place and must conform. Even if it's not something questionable at all. Or god forbid a women speaks up...

  What is the most offensive/idiotic piece of WT literature you've read from the past 20 years (approximately)?

  by Chemical Emotions in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i think that some of the dumbest were ones that pertained to science- not all of them, but a few, particularly the ones about evolution.

  the most offensive (and also dumbest) were the ones about women, and the ones about rape.

  those were horrible.

  Another story you won't see in "Watching the World" - Poverty is being rapidly & radically eliminated

  "oh woe oh woe, how bad the world is getting!".

  that's the theme of the first 5 pages of every issue of the watchtower and awake for the past 80 years, and the opening 5-10 minutes of every "public" sunday talk for the past 80 years.. but is it really true?

  are things just continually getting worse and worse?.

  Shame on you for not blindly following the Society! Jehovah's spirit sure isn't in YOU!

  DON'T SPEND TIME WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES.

  by Hairyhegoat in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  these comments and the references to the old publications are a true find.

  have a read of this and you will never become one of the jw's!.

  don't associate with outsiders (non-jehovah's witnesses).

  I already know this all, but thanks for posting! It may well help those who are considering becoming a JW.

  Movies that resonate with you as an ex-JW or awake JW

  by RayPublisher in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  the matrix - "do you want the blue pill or the red pill?

  ", "all i offer you is the truth", "ignorance is bliss", "the matrix is all around us".

  shutter island - creepy, is it real or isn't it, it turns out the whole thing is a dream.

  Gotta agree with a lot of these movies mentioned...The Truman Show, The Village, The Island, October Sky, and The Golden Compass. There were more but I can't remember them on my own right now!

  Life-How Did it Get Here...is hilarious.

  And one day I'm gonna go to meeting without wearing outer garments, and tell them that I'm very literal.

  Most JWs could shun me and I wouldn't care. But my family...that's different. And of course dying a terrifying death and having birds eat my eyes and no one giving a darn was soooo scary. Especially as a little kid.

  What was something that you loved but were denied as a JW?

  by Chemical Emotions in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i could go on and on about all the things i loved, but i'll keep it brief and just mention one, rather trivial thing: music.

  i love grunge and punk, and occasionally heavy metal, and can't listen to a lot of it as a witness..

  Velour: I love your list!

  "WTF? No cities! I love cities!"

  Me too! I don't want to live in the paradise that they teach about.

  And I didn't want to marry a JW either. No way...

  it is a pleasure to read some of the topics posted in this forum.

  finally i decided to register.

  i have now the certainty that when i am sitting down at the kh listening to teachings i do not accept i am not alone in this world, maybe thousands feel the same way.
