I woke up by myself. Since I started studying I always said that I'm a jehovah's witness because they teach the truth and everything makes sense. If mormons had truth I would be with them. that was my standard so when I accidently came across some information on the internet, I reminded myself that i couldn't be scared of finding out an ugly truth if it was there. It's an obligation. So I did hours of research from then on. I think from day 3 of heavily researching everything about the organization I realized this was not God's organization.

Did you AWAKEN from the JWs by yourself?
by cultBgone ini was thinking about how so many posters here on jwn are frustrated and frantic to help their loved ones get away from the brainwashing of jws, and how much advice is given about how to help family members and loved ones.
i considered my own leaving and that it was internal turmoil based on the teachings getting weirder and child abuse issues, to name just a few, and it made me wonder:.
did you self-awaken or were you assisted by the gentle proddings of a friend or family member?

Stop BREATHING you SINNER!
by stuckinarut2 in(this may offend some sincere 'christians'.
can you, as a human, stop yourself from breathing?.
i have always thought that one of the basic teachings of 'christianity' is the concept that we are "mere sinners"...riddled with guilt and not worthy of god or life...undeserved kindness has been shown to us etc.... but, we have no control over that, just as we have no control over breathing air!.

Sod it, if God is really kind, love and just he would understand that. I remember trying to find religion after the JW's. Then after a while I just thought, if god really is full of love and justice he would understand my situation and why I want no part of any religion anymore. I had so much peace of mind since.

What Was Your Body of Elders Like?

We had one elder that was never with a smile. He always talked positive. Not a doofus in the slightest. the smile kinda gave you the creeps after a while. I never seen him frowned.
One that was very slender and tall. Pale skin, generic haircut, glasses, no facial expressions. He was smart guy but was bland as wood. There was nothing interesting to talk to him about. Which is ironic because his wife is so full of character.
One brother that was very family oriented. All his kids in the truth. He helped the pioneers everyday. Not much to say. Just a standard elder. Pretty cool.One brother that talked in the lowest tone you can think of for a person. He was a nice guy.
And another elder that might have been jehovah himself from how everyone treated him. Don't get me wrong, he was a great guy by all means. But since he led the body of elders everybodys been bowing before, sometimes intimidated. He knew a lot and had a way with words and metaphors and was a good guy. I hate him for constantly showing up at my door, once with the CO.

Hebrews 10:25
by millie210 ini was asked recently by a still in friend (it was meant sincerely not sarcastically).
"but what do you do with that scripture so far as not attending meetings?".

Dale that is a good retort. It's something I always tried to tell the witnesses when I see them. the conversation always goes:
JW: "Hey, how are you? we miss you."
Me: "You can text me. We should hang out sometime."
They never do. -

by bobld inp. 4-7 comparing god's kingdom to human gov't.let us look @ the history of god's gov't.he can't control his rebellious angels so he sends them to the earth to cause disturbance.than he drowns 99 % of the human race including babies and animals.he instituted segregation via language.ethnic cleansing-remember the promised land.i don't like a gov't that kills father,mother,children,babies so it can give their property to their friends.. notice p. 7 subjects:did not god's gov't rule the nation of is.
for hundreds of years.look at all the corruption.obviously they did not learn the high moral standards.who appointed king david the murderer.there are many more examples.. p10 husbands make your home secure.why did they feature a black family.i notice more often than not they will do this on moral issues.. .

If God's policies were in place today by a human government, it would somewhat similar to Nazism or north korea and everyone would be outraged. But because it's "God's plan", its "ok". Pure bullshit.
