My mom warned me about outside information. That was b4 the internet. I said, where do you think the society gets it's info? Some secret room? They collect outside info and make it fit their crap! Hang in there kiddo. Meetup.com meet some new friends on the down low and keep your jw stuff on the back burner. You are going to be all right!

So I'm going through a really difficult time right now.
by scaredtospeak ini was publicly reproved last year and the elders have taken their sweet time in reinstating my "privileges".
it's been six months and i can't answer at the meetings or participate in the theocratic ministry school.
in all honesty- i don't care about the privileges.

The old green song book had some nice tunes and was written in four part harmony. There used to be choir volunteers at assemblies. as time has gone on every musical note sung in pleasure has been choked out. When the brown kingdom melodies came out my ex husband and I were excited for the tapes they published. we were slack jawed in disbelief when we heard how bad they were. both of us were trained musicians and could not believe the arrangements sounded like a 3 rd grade (as in grade school) orchestra. It was embarrassing. I have no idea what the new songbook sounds like. My theory is that they keep dehumanizing everything to a drone level of life. Pretty stark existence.

What are the feelings/thoughts within 24-48 hours of exposure to an undeniably true (for you) TATT?
by NeverKnew inmany of us know where we were during 9/11 or when john kennedy and martin luther king were killed.. it seems that when faced with ttatt, real truth is dismissed as "ol' light" or "an imperfect group of men" but from what i gather, many of you, at some point, were hit with a component of ttatt that shattered all of those cliches that allowed you to brush off the obvious reality that something was very wrong.
some of you may remember the hours following your earliest exposures to an undeniably true tatt.
did you zone completely out?

My shake up started years before the Internet was available. The sister I studied with as a kid and later became best friends with was family friends with the most respected knowledgable brother. I was in my twenties when I noticed undeniable signs they were having an affair. I lived by her and he would stop over after h kids left for school and he would go in and she would type up the school schedule. Sometimes the curtains would be closed and he would leave 15 minutes b4 the kids would come home. That was just the tip of the iceberg. Many other things happened. This went on for years and I really didn't want to believe it because I really respected and loved them both. Finally it was broken up and she was really pissed and heartbroken and began to hate him as much as she did his wife. then herndaughte was screwing a boy my husband was studying with and the shit hit the fan and she hated me as much as she hated that brother. There was a lot of screwing around and "practices unbefitting a Christian" swarming around and I thought "am i the only one believing this crap around here" Honestly they we way worse than the worldly people I worked with. Then my husband got caught in some homosexual activity and the elders tried to turn it on me so I said adios. I was stuck in anger and still believing the hocus pocus for years knowing I was going to be destroyed. those roots run deep. finally, the Internet was at hme and I could research at ease and I was FURIOUS at my stupidity for following those self serving pricks. all the time my mom was always at me to come back. It was difficult and heartbreaking at times. Was I damaged? Oh yeah but life gets better. Now I have no interest in what no sence they spew. My mom passed....I think she was very dissapointed in h congregation. Apparently they missed the part about widows and orphans. She still believed in God. I hate that that bunko org stole her joy of life and our families as well but it's all done now. I feel sorry for those still in. I miss having a frame of refaced of those I grew up with. Id rather be me than them. I feel indiferencentowards the sham of a religion just like any other patriarchal crap. I drop in here every once in a while to reaffirm how great it is on the outside a and I feel deep affection for all of you here and your comments.

The Revelation of Saint John the Divine
by Caupon inapparently there are anointed members of god's earthy organization, or the jehova's christian witness church.
my understanding of this is that those select few appointed by holy spirit directed by he who is above will rule over the other sheep with the jesus in heaven.
their biblical proof of this is supposedly in the acts of the apostles and the last book, the revelation.

JW parents are CRAZY
by Demokan inhello again, for those who don't know me i'm a 15 year old boy.
and recently my mom is displaying symptoms of demensia, she left the stove on today and she yells at us for watching commercials on t.v that are "demonic" because today there was a commercial on television for the new 300 movie and she started yelling at my sister to turn it off, and then i was listening to coldplay as a playlist while doing my school work and she started yelling at me to turn the demonic music off.
she says "demonic" this "demonic" that.

I don't agree that you shoul call your mom a MF but I have to admit that I laughed out loud on that one. If I had done that I would not be alive to be writing to you. Try not to be hysterical and keep a daily record of everything and give it to your social worker. You know, I through my mom was the epitome of wisdom until I figured out (in my mid thirties....I know....I'm a quick study) that she was crazy. She could pass for normal but really she was crazy....it was not on purpose but there it is. Your family needs help but it isn't your job. Try to be respectful or go to you room, or take a walk. don't be stupid and do drugs or drink....you will end up worse than them.

They don't know what to do....
by pbrow inhave been going to a few meetings to support my kids that have to go with their mother.
i knew it would be a powerful lesson for them to see how these loving people treat their father who da'd a while ago.
couple of elders tried to corner me the 2nd or 3rd time i went to remind me that i cant talk to anyone.... i however reminded them that i am not df'd and i can talk to whomever i want to.

If mom wants to drag her kids there ok. I would not drag them there. I would concentrate on showing them how fabulous life can be out side the droll, drab and suffocating society.

I can't believe he asked you if you'd written a letter of diss. I would have said, "thank you for your concern but it really is none of your business. Have a blessed day!"
