Last 4 or 5 yrs in the cult it just didnt sit right with me so i didnt bother. I stopped trusting the org. I only carried my one of my kids cards with me for a couple of yrs till i decided that was dangerous for him.

21Reflections - Updating MD card - did you stop updating?
by berrygerry ini finally removed my md card from my wallet yesterday.. although we were encouraged to create a new card annually, i had an internal hesitation, and a lack of enthusiam for it, as well as the meaningless cards for my kids.. the card that was pulled from my wallet was dated 1994. i obviously had some unconscious, if not conscious, problems with the borg, maybe with the 1995 generations bs.. did others stop updating their cards long before exiting?.

Why do you come here?
by love2Bworldly ini come here to learn, but i also come here because it feels like a private club and i'm privy to be a member of the "in" crowd.
it's a great place to socialize.
does anyone else feel that they are a member of a special "club" when they come here, that only some people in this world will understand the jw world?.

I come here when I am sad about our families hating us for leaving the cult or I see them on the street or have some reminder of the awful life we used to have in the religion. So basically when Im sad, mad or feeling angry with the cult lol

Blown away-- where to go from here
by All for show ini stumbled upon this website a few weeks ago due to the jw.org ridiculousness, since then i haven't been able to pull myself away.
the thoughts, feelings, and concerns i have had the past few years aren't just mine.
it's global.

I never felt such relief as when I found out the truth about the cult. I am so happy not to have to raise my kids the way someone else sees fit. We have given them such a wide variety of experiences and values they never could have had in the religion. Good luck AFS I hope you all find your way out to freedom. Unfortunately it does come with the loss of all of our families who even though weve faded want nothing to do with us.... Their choice.

Wow those onlookers look so.... happy and interested. NOT. They look bored and by the look of the folded arms either dont like the guy riding or just dont want to be there. Looks negative to me.

My JW mom is now willing to "listen" to our side...Need advice pls
by 2pink inmy husband and i (both born in jws with extended family all "in" except for one of my sisters who left when we did) left the church 5 years ago.
we did not fade, we just didn't believe it anymore, told our families so and left.
obviously, big drama in our family after this, messy feelings, etc.

There are some awesome points here. There are lots of points on blood for me like.... does God really want me to sacrifice my childs life for him by denying it a blood transfusion? Then the scriptures on blood where its clearly about eating blood, even then it is ok in dire circumstances and you just remain unclean for 7 days. What about donating blood? JWs are willing to take fractions but dont give back??

Id print out 3-5 questions you feel may get her attention, then have an answer there in the form of a few scriptures or JW literature, (its great how the WTBTS stuff things up for themselves). Saves arguing or getting stuck on one topic or her leaving and you thinking...'damn i should have said this or that'.
Suggest that she just look it up in private, maybe come back to discuss if she wants to.
Id probably tell her that these are the questions/contradictions that got you thinking.
This is my fantasy scenario that I get this chance with my parents.
Good luck. xx

Its only a matter of time somewhere soon in the world, when we least expect it the Extremist Muslims will strike again. Terrorists can be reduced with better screening when we let them into our countries especially boat loads of single males from the Middle east like here in Australia where they sit comfortably on unemployment benefits courtesy of the tax payers they so want to kill!!

PART TWO of AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE BY A PRACTICING JEHOVAH'S WITNESS
by Sparks inwhile you are sitting there reading this, there are literally hundreds of thousands of young males and females all over the world [ mostly in america / canada and england] sitting in their grotty little smelly bedrooms or flats, designing computer viruses that they will up-load onto web-sites to cause anonymous innocent peoples computers to malfunction.
these creeps spend literally weeks,months or even years hoping to make a computer viruses that will get into peoples computer bios to completely destroy their computers.
they never see the peoples anger, frustration and distress.... the damage can cost each person about 1,000 [ $1,660.74 ] or more to replace a basic new laptop or tower.
