It's just 12 guys in brooklyn making up rules for their own benefit. There are a couple hundred thousands deaths, sex scandals, testimonies to prove this if you would take the time to listen (which active JW's would never do).

A LETTER FROM MY MOTHER...since learning TTATT
by Blackfalcon98 inso ive recently: joined the forum, read cofc, began reading combating cult mind control.....and today i gotta letter from my mother.
i thought i'd share it with others so that i can gain some hidden insight, and perhaps just to encourage someone else here who has relatives who are still mentally locked in.

I remember when I stopped attending meetings and I grew out my beard for like 2 weeks. Next thing you know, this sister I went to high school with (we were close friends. Now she's a parrot for the borg) texted me saying she knows I'm not alright despite telling her I was and I couldn't be happier. One of the reasons apparently was that I grew out a beard. I have always questioned that and never got a legitmate answer. I would have accepted "it looks sloppy" and it would have been a way better answer than anything I got.

At This Point In Time Would You Ever Subject Yourself To A Judicial Committee?
by minimus ini certainly wouldn't.
and if the elders wanted to have a meeting with me, i would respectfully decline.
if the elders wanted to deal with you, would you talk with them?.

I wouldn't. I got better things to do like getting high and going to work. Maybe not in that order.

Friend Told Me To "Get Over My Doubts & Keep Going Like Everything Is OK!!
by NoMoreHustle inhad a coversation with a very close friend (of 15 years) and understands how i feel about the wt org.
he himself is a serious doubter.
i on the other hand am not a doubter, i know with every living ounce of myself that this is a cult!

It's crazy how these people are willing to go to jail and die for this religion but when push comes to shove they want to keep "peace at home". I thought real truth was something to fight for. If your friend can't do that, then they can't in clear conscience preach what they preach.

Ever since I learned TTATT, I stopped contacting a sister who I wanted to date
by Yondaime ini was head over heels for this girl, but when i realized i was in a self destructive cult i realized tieing the knot with her would screw up my future.
this makes me think of the highschool sweethearts i turned down that were worldly.
now she gives me dirty looks whenever our eyes meet a the hall or at gatherings.

I did the same thing and as the years went by, I realized going after her was a huge mistake and waste of time. "Worldy" women have so much more to offer and are much more laxed. Let her give you dirty looks. You're the one winning in the end.

If THAT is Paradise, count me bored....
by bafh ini happened to attend a session of the summer convention on sunday morning.
one thing that that struck me was how their view of paradise was that we would all be the same.
they kept talking about how nice it would be if we all spoke the same language.

Fuck that. I'd rather be in gehenna than JW paradise. I want to keep my electric guitars, my tattoos, my cigarette addiction, my lame job, my prospect for my future career, my flawed friends and family, my weed, the 3 stitches I got on my finger the other day, etc etc etc. I can't say I have an appreciation for life If I'm gonna deny every real aspect of all that's going on in my life now for a picture in a magazine when they even admit they don't know what it's gonna be like.

Do you judge your jw mate for their decision to become a jw?
by marriedtoajw ini try not to but i struggle with it alot.
being raised catholic i was subtly taught to respect others beliefs.
they have a right to be wrong i thought.

Try not to openly oppose him. It'll only drive him further into that religion. Instead get him to keep questioning why they do everything the way they do.
"Why did the translator of the New World Translation (their version of the bible) keep their names annoymous? What if I search them up?"
"Why isn't a bible study done with JUST the bible?" - Jw's will say the book is for help which contradicts the very reason why the bible teacher is there anyway.I'm sure other people on this forum have better opinions than me. Just my 2cents
