if you once were fully pimi and truly believed jw doctrine to the core like i once did, when you come to the reality that it is not the truth at all it can be extremely devastating.. i think only other ex jws could ever understand.

i wasted my entire life i thought the real life was yet to come to wasted the best years knocking on doors.

now i’m so angry.. i can understand why so many top themselves when they realise it was all lies..

A New Name for an Old Orgy - Awake 95 2/8 pp. 26-27
by Sea Breeze in

2. beliefs
yep, that is the title of an article in the 1995 awake magazine alerting people to the horrors of valentine's cards & candy.

the message is simple, if you eat valentine's candy at school while no one is looking, it's nearly the same as being in an orgy.

i just can't believe some of the garbage i used to read and regard as acceptable literature.

Rape you need 2 witnesses and don't call the cops! Crazy!

are we a cult?

well the "truth" tells us that a old jewish 2 witness rule means any rape or paedophile is free to rape in our organisation.

in no circumstances would there be a second witness.

Just had a thought…
by Vidiot in

2. beliefs
i been reading quite a few experiences on reddit lately, and their seems to be a common theme coming up….

…dialed-up-to-eleven shunning of xjws by their witness relatives.. it reminds me of back in the day, listening to some of the over-the-top vitriol displayed by hard-core loyalists when the topic of evolution or apostates came up….

…i was gobsmacked when i finally realized these guys weren’t offended and indignant because they thought it was lies….

Who will be killed at Armageddon?
by ExBethelitenowPIMA in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
if the current doctrine is that only baptised witnesses are going to survive and everyone else burns them what about this new update new light that some from before the flood and sodomites will be resurrected?.

but didn’t he mention at the agm something about there is no point jehovah killing them and then resurrecting them again?

it seems they are confused about what they teach and that’s why brother jackson joked about “is this what we used to believe or what we believe now?”.

Isaiah 40:29-31 and Being Gay

2. experiences
i'm new here and i have perhaps an unusual question.

it's just something that i would like to know from ex's or formers rather than from other jehovah's witnesses.

but i would like to know what your experience and your struggle was for former jws who were gay when they were jws.
