  We just watched part 1, there is another part tomorrow. I'm a mix of so many emotions. Even though I was a born in and really didn't choose this religion for myself, I'm embarrassed that I was ever associated with this high control group (cult). The reporter has been reporting the case top notch. The abused they have interviewed are credible and endearing. I'm not sure if either of you ladies from Oklahoma are on this forum, if you are, I want you to know how much your story has touched me😓

  this guy was not a born in and did not really work his way up from the very bottom.

  he kind of got some kind of fast track.

  its a bit strange.

  First Proper Chat With the JWs in Almost 11 Years

  2. experiences

  since disassociating in october 2008, i've had little to no direct contact with the jws, apart from immediate family members (ie my parents).

  i've lived in my rented flat since may 2014 and haven't had a knock on the door in that whole time.

  until saturday morning.

  Great strategy! My husband and I had many conversations thru the years we were pioneering with logical thinking people who really did make us think. We usually agreed to disagree. Mentioned it to a CO once and he refuted with the 3 H JW thing. If you aren't familiar with it, it's a version of Jehovah draws us, that says the householder has to be Humble, Hungry, and Honest to be "rightly disposed to the truth" 🙄

  I felt I was all three of those qualities- so if I am humble, I don't believe I am better than my neighbor, if I am hungry, then I am open minded to others beliefs, and if I am honest- I don't agree with the GB lying to me...so I guess that's why we faded from this high control group like many others here.

  Not invited to congregation “get togethers”. They finally said it

  we don’t get many invitations to congregational social gatherings.

  we don’t attend midweek meetings and miss about 1/3 of sunday meetings.

  we go in service at least once a month.

  Notice all the responses about this hypocrital behavior. We were told the "identifying mark of true Christians is this love amoung the brothers"

  All the rude, unloving way we and many others are and were treated is not proving that.

  This is why, after all this time of fading from this religion, I don't miss the judgy haters there at all.

  Its so refreshing to have peace without all the burdens they unnecessarily bestowed upon us!!!

  The New Diary of Winston Smith

  by WinstonSmith in

  2. experiences

  we had to go off grid for a time, time and half a time as we thought we had been outed.

  fortunately it was a false alarm, but it was a stressful time.

  i asked for my original diary thread to be deleted in case there could be anything on there to identlfy mrs smith and i. i am always very careful when posting, and am sure there was nothing on there, but felt it best to have it removed in order to be as cautious as a dove.

  Oh How Far I've Come

  so this weekend my girlfriend and i will move into our own place together.

  it turns out that “a cord of three strands is stronger” is bullshit and two people in a relationship are perfectly capable of being happy without outside influence.

  what a journey i’ve had since leaving 3 and a half years ago!

  Hello, I am sorry for your pain. What you have to understand about this jw religion is simply just because he was not practicing the jw religion for so many years, doesn't mean he doesn't have the indoctrination of it still influencing him. He is what we call POMI (physically out mentally in)

  Unfortunately I'm sure he has drawn the line in the sand that he wants you to study and become a JW. A lot of jws do not fathom unconditional love. The religion demands acts of service to demonstrate devotion. So much of the jw belief system is similar to high control groups and cults. Steve Hassan has a lot of great books that discuss how to help loved ones free themselves, bottom line he has to want to mentally free himself though!

  So...does this mean they are disfellowshipping publishers without meeting with them??? Is that what I am seeing from the wording?
