  What steps did you take to free yourself from the cult? mentally or physically?

  by HereIgo in

  first i ignored all of the elders phone calls to send my recommendation letter to my new congregation, truth is i had already started my fade and moved across town and didn't have a new congregation.

  i deleted all jw friends on facebook.

  i also threw away all of my public talks recorded on cd, all literature, even my book bag and my bible.

  I fully found TTATT after years of following Candace Conti and discovering jwfacts, ad1914 and jwsurvey during the summer of 2015. Talked to the wife and kids and they got it. Thank god no other family in. Two meetings with elders regarding my doubts, where we respectfully disagreed, just two sunday meetings, field service from auxillary pioneer in september to zero hours in five months and voila...mission completed. No jc, just some shunning here and there and at most a handfull of witnesses that still see and mail me now and then but hey...I'm not complaining 😆.

  So, physically out 100%. Mentally 99% but still angry and frustrated about the waisted years. Not sure how much anti-Jw activism it's all worth at the risk of being disfellowshipped after all. A fade under the radar gives subtle opportunities to reach some witnesses that are not completely brain dead, but... all at the right place at the right time. In general, we have reached the state that the internet, understanding English and some courage should be enough to get someone out of the Borg, at least mentally.

  more testimonies of abuse and harrassment are arriving at el periódico newspaper in the last days.

  tonight this newspaper will be publishing some new experiences on their online web.

  tomorrow it will be printed on their printed pages.. many victims cannot afford a legal assistance.

  Thanks for the info and good luck with the funding. My thoughts are with the Spanish and all JW victims. They damn well deserve their rights. Let the Borg sweat, after all... they expect persecution right?

  i decided to join this forum as have been lurking awhile.

  there are lots of interesting topics on here that appeal to me.. i have been a witness for almost 3 decades and am very disillusioned with the organisation at this time.

  i am beginning to see it in a new light as i am getting older.

  there is also an article about training younger men to take over responsibilities.

  I was the youngest of our boe and after months of reading jwfacts, ad1914 and jwsurvey I thought it was a good time to quit. I wish them good luck with their training and crusade against tight pants. They will need it!

  The End is near!..for my great, great,great grandfather...

  by TTWSYF in

  so it occurred to me how crazy the wts is and has been.. if i am 25 years old and my parents had me when they were 25, my grandparents were 25 when they had my parents, and their parents were 25 and so on and we were witnesses, what would we think?.

  my point?.

  my great, great, great grandparents were around 25 years old when the judge was promoting the end of times in the 1870s.

  formerbrother: I doubt that myself, Im sure there are some. The question is who?

  What are your criteria for identification of true worshippers? Love? That we are supposed to live in the end-times? Preaching? Remember, every century since Jesus had its end-time sects and prophets. Look it up at jwfacts.com.

  But wait a minute here...do you maybe still believe the JW 1914 doctrine?

  If you do, I can understand your question but then I feel it's no use for you asking your question on this forum! It has been adressed over and over and over....

  To me, after my succesful fade, the situation looks a bit like the days of Russell. Many people are searching for "something", a certain meaning or purpose. Many religious groups believe something is about to happen/needs to change in order to get a better world. Every domination has its own version of what is seen as the truth. Some people think they can discern the true from the false doctrines, with God's "help" of course. It often starts fresh but in the stream of time it all becomes dusty, polluted and corrupted as well as the others that were criticized and the sect becomes just another denomination among many others.

  A universal truth can only exist if it finds its origin with a super intelligence that transcends our intelligence and known universe. No organised religion for me anymore. close is not good enough! It has to be clear and perfect. Modern-day prophecies need to be 100% correct, no compromise or "new light". Only if Jesus or any ultimate divine messenger reveals himself again with physical proof and miracles, I will reconsider my faith in the biblical God. Until then I will only use principles that work for me and things of historical value. There's too much at stake to live an illusion.

  RIP dad, who introduced me to this fairytail of everlastin life and paradise :(

  less than 5 hours ago my great dad fell asleep the last time :( still in a bit of a shock and sad that i will not see him again...i promised myself that once he is here no more, i will somehow make my move out of this organisation who kept us all captive believing in a fantasy of an everlasting life :( i am in a tricky situation, since raised as jw, still in, married to an active jw, and pretty sure that all in my social and family circle will turn their backs on me if i finally say goodbye to a fairytail ;(.

  My condolences Frezia...take your time to mourn. That also gives you the absolute right, if possible, to start your fade as well, disguised under your human sorrow. Make it very clear to "your" elders that you are going through some hard times, but that you chose to cope with it on your own, personal way. This may sound strange at first, but I mean this in all sincerity. This might be THE moment!
