Went on vacation just me and the wife. Snuck into the bathroom to check my emails and peek over here. Wow made my day. My vacation just got a kick start. You know the reason a lot of us come here is for this very reason, no other motive just to help and support those needing unconditional support. You are the lucky one. Figured it all out and as a couple are about to escape together, no better ending will you read on this site. Brovo. Freedom awaits you both I'm still sneaking around but your story gives me hope.

Only a few days ago I was entirely lost and without hope the rug was pulled out from under me
by elderess inonly a few days ago i was walking around the house in a mindless wander thinking if i needed to seek professional help.
then i got the courage to seek the comfort of complete strangers on the internet and found a world of support here on this website.
thank you simon and whoever else has made this website possible.

That's a tough one. With so many that are indifferent anymore it hard to spot a real soldier. We made some new friends since my fading and my wife took to them as well, if you met them you would definitely assume they are awake. I threw them some bait once and they spouted the normal JW garbage, they might of pretended just to throw us off in case we were...... on to them. We are a sneaky class ain't we..... -

Today's Daily Text - Being Uneducated And Ordinary... WTF!!!
by Divergent inthursday, march 3. they were uneducated and ordinary men.—acts 4:13.. in recent years, the spiritual instruction provided by jehovah’s organization has reflected an increased emphasis on simplicity and clarity.
consider three examples.
first, there is the simplified edition of the watchtower.

When I was fist lurking in the shadows, I remember I had my doubts about signing up it almost seemed like I was disloyal to God. That feeling is completely imposed on you be the controlling nature of the bOrg. They know how to control you, with words, they instill fear in us, they say not to listen to apostates. Why? because when you do it will expose them for what they are. If you can't afford a therapist then this is second best thing, it help to vent. -

Damn it feels good to be free and on my own without the pressure to do more as a JW slave
by No Longer a JW Brother ini don't know where to begin but damn it feels so good to be free of mind control.
i'm only officially out since this past december but i was out mentally for two hot years under the close watch of my batshit crazy psycho parents who bothered me every sunday to see what i thought about the meeting.
it was necessary for me to lie through my teeth.

Fading is never 100% successful is it?
by nicolaou inmum phoned last night to see how we all are.
after fifteen years away from meetings and my old jw life you'd think my fade could be called 'successful' and for the most part it is.
.. my resentment at being lied to and having wasted over thirty years of my life has left me like a glass of water full to the brim, it only takes a tap to make a mess.

This is the price we pay to have contact with our families, I've come to the realization that my fade will not be complete until my mom and my wife's parents pass, I don't give a rats ass about anyone else. Ive looked at every scenario unfortunately they are prisoners of a cult. The guardians of doctrine have complete control over them, time is my only out.
There very old so I don't debate or disagree on hardly any level, I just let them be and try and enjoy what time is left. Don't get me wrong there are plenty of times I want to tell them off for raising me in this cult and because of the shit they try to instill in my kids "fog", but instead, I leave the room and find something to distract me, otherwise I Will Storm into the room with apostate eyes and unleash hell on them. Life's to short, I just come here and unleash on you good people. Haha

Every Know Anyone Too "Weak" To Wake Up?
by freemindfade ina jw that is probably irregular, they don't really attend meetings, they are not up on anything going on, they may even seem like they are faded but they are not, they are just slackers.
a jw that is impervious to the f.o.g.
(ok maybe it bums them, but they are too lazy and self serving to do otherwise).

There are plenty in my area as well, when I was in they were looked at as spiritually shipwrecked, spiritually immature, drinking milk and not solid food. They go through the motions like this is a guaranty of surviving Armageddon. That's crazier then believing it, in my opinion.
I made the mistake early on when I was waking up to think that a couple we befriended had to know something about ttatt why would they act the way they did, so indifferent. I brought up the ARC/ pedophile issue figured this is a good subject to probe with. Well I was wrong they turned on me and defended the truth like a rabid dog. These are not dumb people just don't care about the doctrine more of a social club. Don't make the mistake of thinking because they are weak or indifferent that they know ttatt.
