  I dont get why they are there fighting for religious freedom when their big J will make everything ok anyway.

  They are supposed to be no part of this world and i think its shocking that they are there in any way, shape or form if its not about an issue they already have on the table like a court case where they have to be there.

  Yes I also think they are pursuing their own agenda. The JW religion I grew up with would never be a part of a forum for political negotiations..... or would it?

  Everything we thought we knew about this cult has been dashed to pieces by JWN.

  Thankyou to the Andersons for more eye opening information.

  I feel ya Varian i really do. I think firstly you need to see someone about whether youre depressed, make this a matter of urgency. Its nothing to be ashamed of and its unfortunately a part of life for many, especially ex JWs.

  I have been lonely and seeking a companion yet not being able to find anyone - it didnt help that it was in the confines of the WT. That person DOES eventually come along, I guarantee that one day you will look back and think about how lonely and sad you were and smile to yourself that you were strong enough to get through it. You will be quite the catch too, a sensitive man that takes care of his body!

  After the pain we have seen the friends of Oompa go through it is a good idea to stop and think of all the people that will really miss you if you did end your life, we really have no idea of the tragedy of pain and suffering that awaits our death.

  Im sure you dont see it now but your life is a gift to live and do as much as we can while we are here.... I didnt always feel this way, I have spent over 30 years of my life in a depressed haze and have finally come out the other side alive and not alone.

  Get help my friend, even just a telephone counselling service for now, just do it first before you think of anything more destructive like booze, drugs or self harm.

  Welcome Louis, did you fade away from JWs, get DF or DA yourself? I faded away over a few

  years but they shun me anyway- no great loss. I hope you find frienship and comfort here like me.

  My Husband kept coming home with info from a workmate who loved researching religion. He told me about 1914, the UN and a few other things, I was quite defensive but decided to find out for myself. I have since thanked that guy for starting our journey away from the cult together as a family.

  I had already faded because of many reasons but mostly the unreasonableness of DF and how it had already broken up my family in the past, also I had a panic/nausea problem whenever I went to the meeting. It was great to get out mentally as well as physically. Leaving the cult has also cured my depression.

  I no longer believe in the bible due to the excellent book 'Athiests book of bible stories'. It makes a lot of sense and is quite funny.

  I believe in a creator who got the evolutionary ball rolling but I dont believe in a personal God who intervenes in any way with humans. I think there are far more interesting things than us people on earth, to god our whole universe is probably like just one of the grains of sand on a beach. I think that much of the human race is too proud to realise that we are not even a spec on gods radar.

  Awesome Ray!! One of the best things Ive seen since leaving the org!!

  You pretty much had them speechless, they had no response to much of what you said because you caught them unawares. It was funny to watch them squirm and fidget in their seats, poor Cosmo...lol.

  Your humble, kind manner was great.

  It is so appreciated that you have gone to the trouble to show us all what you went through and what its really like in a JC. I would however like to say that the elders on my JC would never have let me get in a word, only to cooerce me to say what they wanted me to admit.

  An important point here is that we all really need to be prepared like you and not go in and wing it if we want to make an impact. I really hope they think twice about what you have brought up and that others learn that you may be outnumbered but you dont have to sit there and just take whatever they have to dish out.

  Thankyou so much for keeping us updated and informed. Great job!!

  Maybe in coming awake mags they will have detailed instructions on how householders can dig their own graves pre-armaggedon, saving the dubs some work when they die.

  Rules in the New System

  by King Solomon in

  1. social
  2. humour

  ok, so even if laws are to be written on people's hearts vs spelled out into lawbooks, there's going to have to be some laws in the new system of things, right?

  i say we get the ball rolling and brainstorm what they should be: after all, none of us got invited to the party anyway but since there just ain't going to be any party, why let that spoil our fun?

  so, the theme is laws to be in effect in the new system.

  No one will be deaf so there will be no hand gesturing- when you speak you need to keep your hands behind your back. This is due to the great wanking scandal of 2012.

  What's The Worst Thing About Being A Jehovah's Witness?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for me, i think it's that the witnesses teach they are god's spokesman.

  they represent his "faithful & discreet slave"....and that they alone are expounders of the only truth and that if you disagree with anything they teach, you are considered worse than vomit.. it's unbelievable because these people are wrong so many times, it cannot be excused!.

  as a witness, you must accept every viewpoint and if you (and your family) do not accept it all, hook, line and sinker, you are "apostates"!!!.

  Never ending theocratic crap. Meetings, feeling obligated, fiend service, guilt, study, fear, donations, being answerable for all conduct, more meetings,assemblies,praying, elders on power trips, pretend love, being nice 3+ times a week to people you wanted to slap silly.

  Happiest people on earth even though most are depressed and on meds and in therapy.

  Ha ha Farkel plenty of dogs male and female. Actually Id call them bitches.
