i'm surprised at how much is in the watchtower lately and at assemblies warning of apostates.
is it my imagination or is this ramping up a lot lately.
i am a born-in and stopped attending only a few years ago (now in my 40's) but don't remember so much anti-apostate warning as we see now.. the watchtower seems extra obsessed with apostates and the need to warn about them lately.
I would be interested in hearing any ex-mormons, ex-scientologists, ex-brethren on that.
Good call. I doubt there are many of those around here though, probably all at shunned-mormon.net or something like that.
Shame though, Because id like to hear it from them to.

i've been lurking here since late last year...was very hesitant to join the forum because of fear that satan would control my pc.... .
i'm born in, but always had my little doubts about "the truth" since i was young, but went ahead and got baptized ect.... .
i stumbled upon this site while looking for a km and initially thought it was a jw forum, but after seeing some of the titles of various threads, i thought to myself "i'm on an apostate website".
i love music - of many different genres and from different times.. .
i love to play guitar, not to any great standard and purely for my own pleasure, and there are many pieces that really move me.
'don't think twice' by bob dylan from my early teens is one that has stayed with me for 40 years.. .

so this story was discussed earlier in another thread.
a line from the story has really been bugging me since reading it:.
apologies if this has been discussed before, or is in the wrong forum, but i could really do with some advice.

Yes that was well mentioned, whoever said that about blood transfusions, i beilve there is a scripture that JWs follow which is something to the effect of to not consume blood of any kind for it is the life and soul. (something like that) so if you or your future kids need a blood transfusion, you have to say no, which in turn could lead to you or your kids death.
And the other crazy doctrines such as these weird dates they come out with, that jesus was enthroned in 1914, and it was only then jesus decided to boot satan out of heaven and down to earth. I beilve they use this year becauseof WW1???? im not too savvy, others would know more. (i dont beileve it says anything like that in the bible, they have some kind of weird calculation for it, 1914)
Also, your ten posts you have wont last long, soon it will be out of 100 instead of 10, i forget how that works, hopefully someone else can fill you in on that post limit counter.
Keep researching about the JWs! And if you are a beilever of the bible and what it says, i may quote you 2ndJohn 1:7.
Because i forgot to mention, although Jesus was enthroned in 1914, and he kicks satan out and down to us, he is also invisible, according to their beilefs.
i know this is a few months old.
but i think it's profound to people that still think like the wt trained them to think.
even after coming out of the wt, they still feel that all christians believe that they alone have the true religion or denomination.
and you'll basically be called an idiot in a myriad of ways for the trouble (some subtle, some blatant).
but you'd never know it here. This is not a place where believers can have a discussion. It is very hostile.
Well shit, your both of you right there.
I guess this isn't the friendly forums i once thought it was? I have been out of here for quite some months and only posted these last few days.
Sizemik, Ding, alleymom, timmy, mouthy and many others, just wanna say thanks for all your help you gave me in the past! It did help me a lot.
This has changed for the worst,
