  Thank you to everyone who has commented so far... I was struggling with if I should go to the memorial and this thread reminds why I don't go to that cold building with unloving strangers anymore...and why I won't be attending the memorial this year

  "I’m glad I don’t go any more. At least I don’t have to listen to the hypocritical, self-serving comments of the people there that I know live different lives out of the sight of other jws, but not out of the eyes of the god they say they serve."

  long story short I was there yesterday and you hit the nail on the head- it was brutal

  "This was my turning point. I now realised I had been conned. I had believed in a lie. And the implications were devastating to say the least. I cried for days. For my lost hope of everlasting life. For the harsh reality of my mortality."

  this is exactly what happened to me. We were raised in this thing called the truth- we weren't raised to believe and accept we were going to die... I struggle still 3 years later... Welcome - glad u are here 😊

  "The watered down versions of meetings, with videos, publications on i-pads that somehow no longer contain demons. Unsingable songs, elders who still bumble through the scripted parts, the only good part is no longer having to give talks in the school

  Associate with people who judge you, lucky if they say hi as they quickly walk by, to encourage their real friends on the other side of the hall. Nobody wants to be dragged down by your problems."

  This above comment is spot on. My anxiety went away when I stopped forcing myself to waste 6 hours of my week going to a building with people who did not have the "love amoung themselves" that is supposedly one of the "identifying marks" of the true religion!! Haha

  i hope your new job is rewarding😊

  i want to thank everyone for the support you give in this forum, i know i'm just one of many who feel this way.

  i'm not just talking about feedback about my issues but overall i have leaned so much from what is said to help others who have/are leaving the wts.

  i also want to add the ripple effect that what help one person here goes forward to everyone else in our lives!

  Overcoming the influence of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Christophoros in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some things that have helped me in my journey... .

  since a major part of what the watchtower society does, involves the twisting of the real meaning of the bible and specific verses... it makes sense to me, whether a person has some kind of belief in the bible or not, to go to the source of the twisting, get it's real meaning, unravel the the knots and chains, and walk free.. for me, a huge part of the unravelling process has been spending time in the gospels.. the pharisees.... i used to read the gospels, and listen to audio bibles, and every time the pharisees showed up, i would sign/groan/mockingly laugh:.

  Isn't it interesting when you step away from the cult and indoctrination sessions everything becomes so much more clear and makes sense. One thing I noticed personally after I stopped going to meetings was how much fear was inculcated in me and how the burden was lifted and I felt more content. Thank you for this post
