Your story originally about the laptop made me realize how important it is to hide my tablet when our families are around- I still can't believe your sister in law went all Scotland Yard on you- who does that- wow

A Short Life Story - Part 4 (Finale)
by pale.emperor ina continuation from part 3, which is here: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4807117397557248/short-life-story-part-3#!#4918071166763008.
my wife had settled into a routine of waking up at 6am each day, cleaning (so no chance of a lie in for me or our daughter with the vacuum cleaner going), eating very little, picking the skin off her lips while she sits there in a trance obsessing over things that are out of our control and dont matter anyway.
she never did return to work.

Thank you for posting this. When I heard the type/ anti type "change" I was like... Wait!!!! Everything we have been taught as "truth" stems from this...I saw the foundation of this whole cult crumbling... Just waited for anyone else to notice.😉 Lol

A WTF Moment While In the WTS
by Searching inhas anyone else had a moment, while still within the organization (and before learning ttatt) that caused them to stop and go, "this is kind of messed up.".
for instance, back i believe in the early 2000's, i was attending a dc with my family.
it was announced at the beginning of the convention that there was going to be a special announcement at the end, so for everyone to please try to remain until the very end of the meeting.

Yes, I have had so many of those moments. The tight pant tony rant was the one that actually made me physically ill as I looked around the KH and no one seemed visibly bothered by everything unchristian coming out of his mouth. I still am so confused how more people didn't wake up that day...

"You're going to die in Armageddon"
by Jules Saturn ini'm sure i am not the only one to have heard this come out of the mouths of my loved ones.
it's a very painful thing to hear, especially when it comes from the people like your own parents/family.
even after i've been told that, they would say "we'll just continue life without you.

Yes, just like the older brother of the prodigal son was not happy about his return

This was one of my first doubts as a small naive born in early on, how would such a loving god kill SO many innocent people. Cognitive dissonance was at work in me at 5 or 6 years old.

I know, it was quite an awakening when I realized the majority of who I thought loved me unconditionally really didn't. Surround yourself with people who build you up and you will thrive😊

My response is - I'm sorry you feel that way. Let's make the most of our present time together and enjoy our time together or I will have to remove myself from this negative talk. Sometimes I stay, sometimes I go, depends on who it is and how they respond.

Why do ones that got out come back in?
by moreconfusedthanever ini have not been to a meeting for about 2 years now.
i do not intend to go back but one thing has me baffled.
why do ones that have faded and been out for years return?

"The emotional blackmail and shunning from family in particular worked on him."
ok time for my 2 cents. This is exactly what is happening to us right now. We have been physically fading for almost 2 years and mentally about 4 years. Both sides of our in families are badgering us about returning to Jehovah. My husband is convinced it would be easier to just go back here and there rather than continue to "hurt" and stress them out. I don't agree because I know that won't be good enough. It disheartening to realized both sides of our brainwashed cult-ed families only love us conditionally. I never realized when we were the perfect cult couple that they never loved us for us.

July Broadcast - Bible Teach book and Keep Yourselves In Gods Love book
by pale.emperor ini didn't manage to last the whole broadcast.
it was so unbelievably boring that i only managed halfway before i switched it off.
in this broadcast anthony morris iii (who i affectionately call "the don") stresses to us the importance of studying - not one - but two of their publications in order to understand the bible.

Interestingly is was their book- draw close to Jehovah that we were studying at the midweek meeting that made me sit up and realize I don't want to be there anymore...
