I think those close to us who leave care but the Jehovah's witnesses are insignificant little bunch of oddballs so most could care less. I'm sure they will be happy the day those idiots stop knocking on their doors.

Do you think the general public cares about former Jehovah's witnesses?
by Christian Gutierrez ini was wondering if you guys think if the general public cares about our stories or if they even care what the watchtower does to people??

Why "... when it does touch on scientific matters [the Bible] is accurate" is bogus BS.
by Island Man injws and other christians would often point to the handful of the bible verses that seem to be scientifically accurate as evidence of its divine inspiration.
but not surprisingly, they ignore the ones that are scientifically inaccurate, or when they address those verses they put a spin on it like saying the account is not a reflection of what the bible is teaching but what men at the time erroneously believed and which god allowed them to record in the bible.
would you believe a jw actually told me that!

Dear brothers: (not sisters, they don't count)
We still have the truth. Loads are coming in. Armageddon is very close. Lots of studies. Carts are posting fine results. Many new Kingdom Halls are needed. God is love.
Your brothers,
The GB.

JUNE 2017 Watchtower - Lost a loved one? Go out in service!
by pale.emperor inapparently going to the kingdom hall and getting out in the door to door ministry is the best way to get over the loss of a loved one.
who'dve thunk it?.

Service works great. All those pioneer sisters we did shepherding calls on certainty thought so. (As they sat there crying because they couldn't figure out why they were so depressed)
They would go in service on the day of a parents/sibling funeral to show how faithful they were. It's absolutely criminal how the organization brainwashes a person into believing that peddling trash paper in some way dispels grief.

How ballroom dancing helped our exit
by Finally Left injust wanted to say hello and thank you for all of your comments.
when i finally figured out this was not the truth it was nice to know i wasn't the only one - it was a surprise to learn how many there are.
february was my last month of service after 43 active years.

Loved reading your story! "Worldly" people are not what the Watchtower says. We also have met many fantastic people outside the org since we left a year ago.
Recently some who have shunned us have tried to reconnect but we know who they are and what they still represent. It's just not worth it.
Keep us posted on your progress please!

Is a born-in brought up in a JW home like being a child inmate being raised in prison?
by Still Totally ADD ini bring up this subject because of all the restrictions children have to endure in the jw cult.
they are made prisoners of mind and body.
being forced to do things that are not natural for children to do.

It's true for many of the JW children, they miss out on a lot growing up in such a strict household. Holidays and being with their extended, non Witness family is very unfortunate. But many of the young people seemed to do a good job leading a double life at the hall I attended before walking away. So I'm not sure they missed out on much when it comes to sex and drugs. I was only an elder for a little over a year but I became very critical of the teenagers at the hall. It seemed that most were doing "bad things" that makes their deity sad.
Made for many a late night after meetings.🙄

"Don't Give Up" LOL every time!!😂😂😂
I keep thinking it's a joke but it's not.
Either way the step by step instruction as commented on by others is ridiculous. They are specifically told how to watch the music videos, where and when to sit. It gives a new meaning to "whitewashed graves". They are all about appearance.

How Far Up The Ladder Did You Go In JW Land?

Auxiliary Pioneering on and off after graduation. MS for a few years then almost fell away.
Then came back strong. Became an MS again after years of hard work, then Elder for about two years. Woke up. Left. Took wife along for the ride after being stood up for dinner by some "friends." Never have regretted a moment since. This IS the best life ever...... not being a j-dumb.
