I feel bad for him. But I know many ex prostitutes who weren't proud of themselves and even suffered mentally and emotionally from it. They dissociate themselves from the sex which is something that we all do when experiencing trauma. It can break you. My mother was a prostitute, it's how she met my father. She has borderline personality disorder. She's JW right now. I don't understand how he can just blame everything on his sexual repression. It may be true that it messed him up sexually. I mean, I'm also messed up sexually but I was also sexually abused. I don't use it to excuse my fetishes. I hate that he made a fool of himself and wants to play victim. My ex-husband did the same to me even though nothing was off-limits in the bedroom. These men made a choice to pay for cheap, fast-food sex. I really hope his wife leaves. She doesn't deserve this type of treatment.

I watched it and I thought it was brilliant! There's a part that made my jaw drop. The antichrist asks why destroy everything instead of just fixing things! Yes! I can't tell you how many people asked me this question in service and something inside me just wanted to say "you're right! WTF!" Lol but I always gave to WT answer, God has to destroy in order to fix. I really enjoyed binge watching this.

I highly recommend the book The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse and Combating Cult Mind Control. It really helped me. Start over and make new friends. Do those hobbies you've always wanted to do and focus on your new beginning.

I was just researching about shellfish and blood. This is an excellent thread! Scientists also have found that they contain plasma which is prohibited according to the BORG.

Do JWs eat shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, and mussels?
by sacolton ini'll play devil's advocate.... true, the mosaic law code prohibited the eating of blood.
but jesus fulfilled the law covenant thus wiping out all the laws previously set.
but then later, (through god's spirit, of course wink wink) the abstaining of blood was again brought to followers of christ.

Crustaceans aren't bled out. Their blood doesn't contain red blood cells but it does contain PLASMA which is a prohibited component. I was researching the crustaceans white cells and platelets but I am still reading the research. It looks like they do contain similarities. But I can't understand why it's ok to eat shellfish since it does contain plasma. There is nothing in the bible that explains this other than DON'T EAT!

This Article Won't Change Your Mind - Great Read
by cofty inthis article won’t change your mind - the facts on why facts alone can’t fight false beliefs.
brilliant article in the atlantic by julie beck discussing the phenomena of cognitive dissonance and how it affects religious and political beliefs.
it includes some interesting thoughts on how social media has magnified the problem.. spoiler - she is not optimistic about the possibility of successfully reasoning with members of religious cults.. the article also has a link to the 45 minute audio version.. link....

As someone who knows cognitive dissonance too well, I really appreciate articles like these. I feel a bit embarassed about it too but at least I know I can better myself now.

A Gem From The May Study WT "Know Your Enemy"
by JW_Rogue inin fact, only three books of the hebrew scriptures, 1 chronicles, job, and zechariah, mention satan, which means “resister.” why was little said about our enemy prior to the arrival of the messiah?.
3 apparently, jehovah did not want to give satan undue prominence by devoting large portions of the hebrew scriptures to discussing him and his activity.
jehovah’s primary purpose for inspiring that section of the scriptures was to identify the messiah and lead god’s people to him.. .

Christianity has given a lot of prominence to Satan. Scholars conclude that the personification of Satan was influenced by Gentile Christians who kept some of their pagan beliefs.

Spiritual "Protection" - a Menace on Psychological Development
by Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho innot quite a week ago, @lost in the fog created a thread entitled: do you have this illness?.
https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5187824140681216/do-you-have-this-illness.
in my year of being on this forum, i have browsed many a disillusioned thread of ex-jehovah’s witnesses expressing similar symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder when detailing their awakening - my own story included.

Beautiful post! I really needed to see it. It's been a tough 4 years for me but these past months as a fader have been the hardest. It's good to understand what and how we process these feelings and emotions. Sometimes it can be overwhelming.
