  something just dawned on me today as i processed my assimilation into the real world (thanks to our new poster, @jester, giving me a major throwback to my first post).. when you're a jehovah's witness, you really are in some sort of la la land.

  things which are perfectly normal are acts of eating from the table of the demons.

  things which are horribly grotesque and extremely unjust are branded as "righteousness".

  @sillygirlforgotpassword Some ex Witnesses suggest that the Governing Body are a bunch of bumbling idiots. I actually think they know exactly what they're doing. The amount of of calculated articles which follow a known pattern for effective propaganda is staggering.

  Check out these photocopies and see the comparisons between what WT identifies as manipulation techniques that the "world" uses, and contrast that with photocopies of their own manipulation in action:

  I think the sinister undertone of being a cult can be traced back to Rutherford's ascension to presidency.

  @Jrjw We all felt stupid - I hear you. But out of eight million people, YOU woke up. I'd say that takes a mighty amount of perception and awareness on your part. Quite a long way you've come from the docile, unquestioning drone you were originally conditioned to be by the organization. Power to you.

  I think this happy-clappy trend is nothing but a bit for WT to rebrand themselves and create distance from all the scandal and abuse that falls under the WT umbrella.

  Sorry, WT. I don't care how much mayonnaise you use. You can never make chicken salad out of the pure chicken shit you've been dishing up for years.

  @will-be-apostate You're doing great :). The training wheels are off! I'd say you've got more clout now than any 23 year old guy I know. There may be a few crashes here and there (no one can ride in a perfectly straight line), but it sounds like you've found a way to zig and zag your way gracefully through the social and dating scene. Keep us posted with your experiences and personal realizations as time goes on! This post was interesting!

  Wow, and I always thought "I love you" was an instant boner killer.

  I love how removed from the situation you've allowed yourself to be now. It takes balls to have enough insight to critique yourself from an objective perspective. I'm proud of you, @will-be-apostate. Only a truly confident person could have the gall to say, "hey, I was wrong." You've gone a step further to do it on a public forum! I like you already.

  Not love.

  Just like ;).

  What do you do when your Operating System is corrupted?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  i was just thinking of an illustration that may apply.. what do we do if our computer operating system is corrupted?

  perhaps through a virus, or because of outdated or corrupted technology?.

  do we hang on to that computer because of sentimental reasons?

  @FedUpJW Sounds like the electronic version of a reform. All in favor of a factory reset for Watchtower, say aye.

  moses spoke to the entire assembly deuteronomy 31:3, leviticus19:2 and exodus 16:9 no sound amplification, we must remember he was speaking to 2 million people.

  solomon in 2 chronicles spoke to thousands maybe millions, so how the hell did folks a mile away hear..you need a sound system for 200 folks in a close building in the kh.... moses, solomon and others had a great set of vocal cords.....

  @exjwlemming Apostates aren't usually ones who were fringe members or spiritually "weak"ones. Apostates are generally those who were faithful JWs. Ones who'd served in Bethel. Others who were pioneers. Some who were elders. Even a Governing Body member. We're the ones who obeyed instructions from the top and sacrificed accordingly. And above all, we valued truth and honesty. I guess since there's not much at stake for those wishy-washy members, they feel no need to investigate the real truth honestly. And since people like the OP are so seasoned at lying about their double life, it makes sense that honesty isn't something they'd keenly pursue. What matters most is how you're perceived by your equally fake JW peers, isn't it OP?
