Hello dangermcdanger! Great story and glad you've found happiness and true friends.
Heard a WT cult statement the other day that made me laugh -'we'd like to encourage you to shoulder your responsibility before Jerkhovah'' -yep just 'encouragement' def not using guilt and fear to manipulate...

This is a case of parents being manipulated to manipulate their children. The use of the word 'encouraged' in the KM is laughable- its not encouragement its scaremongering, inducing fear with the statement 'shoulder your responsibility before Jehovah' - yes folks the big J ain't gonna be happy with you-so ya better start manipulating those kids! Praps you could scare them senseless as we do you!Link +2 / -0 -

A troubling visit with a satisfying end.
by Bonsai inso, i've been out for 2 years now.
just picked up and walked away from the wacky religion that tried to control every part of my life through fear and guilt.
i've been wondering as the months go by what would happen when an elder finally showed up at my door and pressed the issue as to why i ceased all activity and then tried to reactivate me.

not all JW's are asleep
by Damascus ini am an 'active' jw but i do not agree with most of the doctrines inc blood, baptism, the memorial etc etc.i took the emblems at the memorial because i think we all should recognise and accept jesus' command to remember him.
not for one minute do i think this is only for the so called anointed.
i know it is full of man made error and that my fellow brothers and sisters are in a state of mindless, spiritual unawareness.

Hello Damascus! I can understand where you are. I didn't realize it at the time but when I was waking up to the truth about the JW organisation it was traumatic. I knew that I would not obey the orgs blood policies, I was tuning in to the mind control measures the org uses. Still, I was torn since I was holding on to some teachings. I was in limbo, I was getting headaches all the time but didn't connect them to this mental trauma. 6 months after leaving I woke up one morning and realized I hadn't had a headache in months- the mental freedom of separating from this control group is immense. It took a while to find the courage to change my life, but I got there and realizing that its the strong ones; not the weak ones, that leave this manipulative group helped. Once you have woken up to the things youve mentioned there is no going back. I don't envy you for where you are at this time but I'm sure you'll find your own personal path too. Best wishes to you friend.

You will cover your head in the presence of a JW males. You will not wear a skirt that is short-below the knees- it might tempt us. You will not wear high heels at conventions- they are dangerous-you would probably fall. We are not patronising, chauvinistic or backward thinking. You will trust us. We are the Borg.
