  i bring this up because like me i sure many of the men who was kids in the wt cult got their first taste of what a nude women looked like.

  it was the adolescent male sex education for most of us.

  one friend i had who's dad was a elder told me they always had playboys in his house because his dad subscribed to them.

  Saying you were sexually repressed because you couldn't masturbate to porn and have casual sex is vomit inducing. Most people look at HH as guilty of objectifying women for profit and think of him as disguising hedonistic behavior with "cool" at the expense of the dignity of women.

  The reality is that women living at the Mansion were regularly drugged and raped often times by HH himself if not another of his high profile guests like Bill Cosby. His life and the sycophants that idolize it are a waste of humanity.

  This is one aspect of the ex-jw community that is offensive. Just because a religion, even a cult, takes a dim view of casual sex doesn't make the teaching worthless.

  Not A Day Goes By Without Me Thinking About Watchtower

  although i consider myself completely "cured" from watchtower brainwashing, guilt tripping and propaganda, i realised today that there's not a day that goes by without me thinking of the cult we left.

  i think of my former family and what i'd like to say to them, what i'd try to explain and how i'd say it without them switching the "ignore" button and running away.. today on my instagram account my little step-brother "liked" a picture i posted.

  i didn't even know he was still on my friends list.

  Just have to look at all those that post here regularly for years to realize that it's hard to shake off what the cult has done to you and your family. I faded 9 years ago.

  Having said that, counseling is a wonderful tool that can help you gain perspective and lessen the pain.

  Best to you...

  hi guys.

  sooner or later we're going to get a jw knocking on our door.

  just like when we were jw's doing the knocking, it's good to have a question prepared to get them thinking about their own beliefs.

  Explain your belief that modern man appeared out of nowhere 6000 years ago in Mesopotamia.

  Please also explain how you can deny the mountain of evidence that points to the contrary.

  So you've successfully faded

  so i'm pretty sure my fade is complete.

  haven't stepped foot inside a kh in 9 years.

  but the concept of fading still makes me wonder.

  So I'm pretty sure my fade is complete. Haven't stepped foot inside a KH in 9 years. But the concept of fading still makes me wonder. I know the idea is that one slowly fades away and does nothing that would put them in jeopardy of committing a "sin" worthy of a JC.

  But the reality is, that as one fades, the odds of committing a sin worthy of a JC increase only because one begins a "normal" life not influenced by a cult. So for you faders out there I'm wondering what sins you've committed that are worthy of a JC if you were still in.

  I'll fess up, I've:

  Celebrated Christmas complete with a tree and gifts.

  Voted in national and local elections.

  I have gotten a tattoo of a Celtic Cross on my bicep. (This was my personal way of DA'ing without actually sending a letter)

  Sometimes I drink to excess.

  I've seen many, many R rated films.

  I use the F word pretty regularly.

  I visit and post on apostate websites.

  I've enjoyed weed a time or two.

  I've donated to the Cathedral of St Cristobal in San Juan, PR and was given a St. Christopher medal that I wear everyday.

  So if ever I'm invited to a JC, I've got a lot of ground to cover.

  Any of you other fellow postate faders care to confess?

  Okay, one more comment about this. If I were to remember the wife of Lot, I would remember that her husband pimped out her daughters to protect mighty spirit creatures. Then, in a perfectly normal human response to gaze upon the spectacular destruction of one's home, she was mercilessly put to death by an angry, jealous, pitiful spirit creature that couldn't put up with her shit.

  That's what I would remember.........

  anybody want to guess?

  for some years the office for national statistics tried to hide the answer by counting different spellings as different names.

  it no longer matters.

  Re read the right leaning Examiner's coverage again. Not 15% of immigrants are terrorists. Rather 15% of the FBI's overall investigations focus on immigrants. I'm glad they're investigating, that's what they do. But not 15% of immigrants are terrorists. The title of the article is misleading.

  The FBI has revealed that at least 15 percent of the agency's terrorism investigations focus on immigrants who arrived as refugees.

  I just don't see the islamic terrorist behind every bush. I live and work in NY and aside from 9/11 most of the "terrorism" is one off nutjobs. Nutjobs. Get the Comey reference?
