Damn it feels good to be free and on my own without the pressure to do more as a JW slave
by No Longer a JW Brother ini don't know where to begin but damn it feels so good to be free of mind control.
i'm only officially out since this past december but i was out mentally for two hot years under the close watch of my batshit crazy psycho parents who bothered me every sunday to see what i thought about the meeting.
it was necessary for me to lie through my teeth.

What TV shows were forbidden in your JW household?
by Funchback inin the u.s., three's company was not allowed.
it was explained to me that it was an immoral show because a man and women lived together and no one was married.
the sister who gave this observation was a family friend and we were newbies to the religion.. at least i somehow managed to watch the benny hill show undetected..

We avoided the usual Harry Potter thing, especially for the kids, but we were not TV haters, oh no, certainly not me, I was always an action hero, loved Schwarzenegger/van Damme (Yes...double standard...I know... )
Before my fading however, I heard of a brother who was raised in the "truth" that his older sisters really wanted to see Charlie's Angels. The father never liked most of the "worldly" 70's/80's series and his usual reply was: "I don't want demons in my house!".lol
After a while, the mother softened his heart and voila...enter Charlie's Angels.

may need some help soon
by Missanna inok so i send my father a letter telling him several reasons i do not believe the witnesses are jehovah's organization.i also told my father at the end of the letter that i was setting some boundaries once and for all.
that i would not be emotionally blackmailed or verbally abused anymore that if he wanted to talk to me as a father then i welcome that and if he can't do that then i do not wish to comunicate with him.
i sent it about a week ago and was waiting for all hell to break loose but nothing happend.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not running from the JW cult to another man made religion, but...err...I went to a catholic mass (wow, did I really say that?) with my youngest daughter, simply because she was curious and WANTED to experience it! Guess what? Everybody was relaxed and humble. Everybody drank coffee afterwards without condemning anyone or any religion. No bull$%#t about 1914, preaching hours, the end that is near, not one single FALSE prophecy! It was a relief, there were hardly any images to see in that church and a women did the lecture!!! Made more sense than ever, just love and a message of a humble Christ, who never lost hope and never gave up. Simple, direct and without the "deeper things" that only...caugh... the GB...caugh... understands.
And guess what? I am playing Super Street Fighter II again (looooved that game back in the 90's).
And guess what? In march, I will visit my first heavy metal concert after 20+ years! Feeling young again!
Told too much already, better quit now...lol

WT should admit that 1914
by bobld inwas a man made date when jesus came and that a generation is not 102 plus years.. why not say something like this.when the disciples asked jesus for a sign and the end of the age.jesus gave them a composite sign and said all these things will take place.when-before the people now living(at the end of the age which no one knows)have all died..

1914 is still standing, did you forget how the light keeps getting brighter?
Remember how God speaks about 120 years in Genesis 6:3?
1914 + 120 = 2034!!!
Don't you think Genesis 6:3 is a prophecy for our time?
Oh, and last but not least... it's perfectly compatible with the overlapping generation!

How many killed by the 5 Cholera pandemics during the 1800's?
by redpilltwice inyou all know jwfacts (run by paul grundy).
on this website, under “did the last days start 1914” ---> “pestilence”, it says:“during the 1800's five cholera pandemics killed around 100 million people.” .
there is no link to any source of info, so i emailed paul and asked where i can verify that total number?

Thank you all and of course Paul from jwfacts himself for helping me with that. I will check Jonsson's book online, their are a lot of articles and excerpts from him, I used his 607vs587bce stuff already before. I'm using this kind of information during my current fade/inactivity to throw some bait here and there and to resist the myth that our days are the worst of mankind. I wouldn't be happy if "they" from their ignorant JW side, could accuse me of misquotations either.
