@Alfred I would laugh if the whole teaching didn't make my head hurt. Is this chart joking that the overlapping generation gets overlapped ad infinitum?

Disgusted
by Jrjw ini've on my been on this forum for a few weeks but the more i'm learning the more ill its making me feel that i believed the wts.
my 12yr old today said i've made her miss out on having a normal childhood and i felt sick when she said it coz i know it's true.
i've been telling my dad today the things i've learned that wts had lied about and about the child abuse and he's disgusted too especially coz he's missed out on 12 years of being able to celebrate birthdays with us.

@Jrjw and @redpilltwice Here's what I completey respect and admire about you two: you're both parents who have the humility and compassion to look your children in the eye and say "I had it wrong. I am so sorry."
@redpilltwice, you were an elder, yet you've shed whatever arrogance and clout you must have felt back in WT land to see things from your children's perspective. They are so fortunate to have a compassionate and sensitive father like you.
@Jrjw Your daughter could be far worse off. She could have a mother who is just like her father. Fortunately, you're the one parent who is giving her a shot at real life. She's consciously lost a decade. Now, the two of you can spend the rest of your lives making up for it together.
I can't tell you all how painful it is to be the daughter of two dogmatic parents who, even in the face of damning evidence that the WT is a corrupt entity that has been LYING to them, are more interested in saving face and being "right" than salvaging their relationship with me.

Disassociation and being young, experiences?
by Kohanic inok so im new here~ hey-yo!.
i found this site cause i've been looking around at experiences of people leaving 'the truth' as i've been wanting to leave for some time now.
it's interesting as y'know i'd never seen it from the other side as its apostate literature and all that jazz lol.

@Kohanic Hey! There's a poster on this forum who goes by the handle @Jules Saturn. He's in a similar situation to you, hon. Woke up at 21, still under his parents' roof and in a relationship with a normal ("worldly") woman. I'd check out his posts because you'll find a lot of parallels between you guys and some good feedback:

JW Stumper Questions - List You Best Here
by pale.emperor inhi 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.

Birthdays are Evil - so they said
by EverApostate inlast week i celebrated my birthday.
accepted well wishes from people near and far.
had been happily accepting wishes from people since i quit the cult.. as a jw, (brainwashed ) belief that birthdays are evil was the stupidest belief i had in all my life.. when in, i had a hard time to explain to people that i don’t celebrate birthdays.

When explaining it to normal people, I used to play up how it was really a personal thing because it went against my nature to glorify myself and put myself at center stage for everyone to buy gifts for. All I did was not die for 12 months.
The truth was, I was programmed to detest birthdays since infancy. I can't find the original 1978 version of this picture, but I recall the decapitation being far more graphic:
Then I went to @stuckinarut2 and @Unstuck's combined birthday and realized... I WANT A BIRTHDAY!!! I'll still probably have a no-gifts policy or something next year when I do my first proper birthday (I can't shake that feeling of being undeserving from my WT upbringing). The company in itself will be more than joyous to experience :).

Witness Goes Out - Great video
by pale.emperor insaw this video and enjoyed it.
some terrible acting and some of the portrayals are exaggerated in my opinion but their bible vs watchtower reasonings are spot on.. i think it's produced by jeremiah films (who, i think, have a hibit of exaggerating the facts) but us ex members can tell.. https://youtu.be/xyynvk8nwb8.
