time heals much pain, and finally, my family and i have been able to move on with our life outside of jw land.. many of you became our friends, our support system, and you know very well our exit story...we were labeled, slandered and disfellowshipped for having questions regarding the date 607. we sent out letters exposing the elders and circuit overseer to over 200 families.

I remember the "Frosty Sanction"!

I am VERY pleased for you and your family. Looks like Pops-In-Law has been proven to be a false prophet! It must burn his ass that you are NOT divorced, his grand-daughter is NOT knocked up and strung out on drugs!

What kind of twisted, demented religion takes such joy at the prospect of their own flesh-and-blood being down-and-out? ONLY Jehovah's Witnesses and Scientologists!

Crap....help please

by DS211 in

so tonight my wife looked iver the wt for tomorrow.

she said what she got out of it was that apostates are negative murmurers who can cause you to question jehovah and his earthly org and that it reminded her of the negativity caused when i told her i read ray franz's book.

she said it caused me to question service, family worship night, and praying together.

...the last refuge of an indefensible mind -control cult is to scream "Don't listen to THEM!"

REAL truth can stand up to examination.

rhetorical Q.: J ust how stupid are jehovahs witnesses?

A.: You admitted to being a JW, so how stupid are YOU?

Almost everyone here was once a JW... how stupid was I?

I'm going to try to make a General Plea for Slack. Let's remember that when we make a sweeping statement like "JWs are stupid" we are including our former selves, some people we once loved, and the previous incarnation of some of our present friends. Many people who join the Witneses do so not because of stupidity, but because of FEAR, and admit it, this planet can be a very scary place sometimes. So a soft-spoken colporteur shows up one day when we are especially vulnerable and tells us that SkyDaddy is going to make it all better, and that SkyDaddy is going the raise Dear Old Uncle Ted from the dead, and manna and Coca-Cola will miraculously appear just before you knew you wanted it... such a sweet, desirable dream... so before you know what has happened you are going to the Kingdom Hall for five meetings a week and you have convinced yourself that your dearest Aunt, who you love so much, is an agent of Satan... Your goal becomes to "endure to the end" so that you can be SAVED. It's not stupid to want to be SAVED - that desire is the PRIME DIRECTIVE of our DNA.

We were LIED to. So were they. They are no more stupid than you and I were. It's a pity.

JW Doctors

by elisaporquien in

okay i know that there are people who began careers in medicine, law, etc.

then later got into the truth.

i know that pursuing a higher education is not forbidden but a personal choice.

Elisaporquien said, " Okay I know that there are people who began careers in Medicine, Law, etc. then LATER got into the truth. I know that pursuing a higher education is not forbidden but a personal choice. Is there anyone out there, reading this, that grew up in the truth and pursued a career in medicine (and remained in the truth)? What was the experience like (both med school and residency)? I'm not a Jehovah's Witness but my mom and my sister are and I believe in no blood. "

You are now in the company of XJWs. We don't use the Watchtower catch-phrase "the Truth™" because Watchtower dogma has nothing to do with objective, observabe truth. We don't impugn truth by associating the word with the Watchtower. Call it "the Truth" around your Mom and Sis if you must, but don't expect us to get warm & fuzzy when you use that cult lingo here.

...and if you really are not a JW as you say, WHY o why would you call it "the truth"? Is that just a bad habit you picked up, or do you really believe it is "the truth"? If you do, get thee to a Kingdom Hall!

You say that higher education is a "personal choice." Yeah, if you don't mind being labeled as "spiritually weak" and constantly harrassed from all sides because of your "choice", then yeah, sure it's a "choice" viewed in the same way that your "choice" to use heroin would be.

So, you're not a JW but you believe in "no blood." Are you an Israelite? Are you a member of The Society For Creative Anachronism trying to get a post-diluvian gig going? Do you accept blood fractions in the way JWs do, or are you an absolutist on the issue?
