God, Jesus, Bible, Creation.... all a load of crap in my view. Never been happier with my OWN beliefs and not thinking what im told to think by a real estate corporation.

Could it be that Jehovah is punishing me for leaving his religion?
by Julia Orwell ini know it's a completely absurd thing to say, but something happened to me today that triggered the old cult reaction.
my mind instantly lapsed back into that of a jw and for a split second i thought that because i wasn't doing jehovah things that jehovah's blessing had been removed from me and this is why my life seems to be running into so many dead-ends.
as a jw i attributed anything good happening to me to being the result of my being a good jw and dutifully doing everything the borg teaches.

Yes I get the old cult self-talk too. You are NOT a screw up Julia. Here in Australia jobs are hard to come by at the moment. Its happening to JWs too (job losses), we laugh and say they must be in Jahs bad books lol. Stay positive girl, you are a smart cookie. xx

About Human Birth- (Which I've just seen) First Child today
by HowTheBibleWasCreated ini have seen many witnesses with 4,5,6,7 kids.
no problem with that.
they are mostly loving families but today i experianced the birth of my son.. the emotions of my wife... the pain... the fear... the hope combined with the joy of the birth and seeing my wife reaction when she held the baby was well balanced.. .

Congratulations on the birth of your first baby! The miracle of birth certainly doesnt make me believe in God more and doesnt change my view that there is probably a creator of some sort that has just walked away from his creations.

Awesome read Julia, I am feeling every bit of it and laughing at the old familiar phrasess and characters.
I think we can all relate to every character here.
Ha ha who hasnt met a brother 'Wankis' in their years as a dub lol. unattractive in every way including personality yet pulling the 'babes'. There always were a lack of decent blokes to marry in that cult.

I feel sorry for the cousin too, it must make things awkward for him, especially if theres a mass walkout because of him.
It is a nasty cult!

I had a funny feeling he was a Witness... and now I need help.
by noontide inim in a bit of a bind and im not quite sure what (if anything) i can do about it.
i was recently hired as a business consultant for a rather large company.
the company that hired me mentioned that they are concerned about a certain department and the way its being run, as this department affects every other department in the company.

Noontide I had to check to see whether you lived in Australia as the company my Husband works for has exactly the same setup as you described... a very strange JW at the helm who has no balls when making decisions and although reasonably intelligent comes across as an absolute idiot, he just smiles and keeps his mouth shut when there is a problem.
The issue we have with Hubbys boss is that he keeps hiring JW staff who are not meek or humble but are braggers who wont do as theyre told and are often lazy and have a lot of pent up anger at their 'masculinity' and life being taken away by the WTS.
The blokes my Husband works with have reported him higher up for hiring only JWs as its badly affecting morale and ultimately the business.

Maybe a wealthy JW sold it to the WTS really cheaply and they bought it as an investment?

Braggers, arrogance, men constantly looking for someone 'better', no sense of humour, no lust for life, lazy, men who cant see past a pretty face or a hot body.
