It is rare that someone can break free from such powerful mind control at such a young age. The force is strong with you young jedi. Only the dark side deals in absolutes so says Yoda. Maybe you had Yoda whispering that in your ears as a young boy. hehehe Welcome and much love to ya! Your right to find a girl outside the cult. I married a women I love to death in the cult but now I'm trapped trying to figure a way to break her mind ctrl to the cult before I cut and run. I'm in constant anguish so yea find a nice worldly girl with no sexual or mental hangups.

i though it was a legit society page at first and thought 'what the hell, this will be good for a laugh', but after reading a few posts well...i couldnt stop reading.

WT study article for April 30-6 "Help People to Awake from Sleep"
by thecrushed ini found this article to be quite ironic!
here is the pdf for the lesson http://download.jw.org/files/media_magazines/w_e_20120315.pdf.
i had to endure this at the kh today and wondered if everyone would like to have fun picking the mind control and other nonsense out of this lesson.

I noticed this on paragraph 13: "Prayer interests people of nearly all cultures, even some atheists." Really!? why would an Atheist wonder about prayer?
Here is something really biased I caught:The sister continued: “One day, I phoned one of my sisters who lives hundreds of miles away. She told me that
she asked her preacher to study the Bible with her, but he never did.
Seriously? I don't think this is always true. I've heard examples like this multiple times and I just don't buy it. All preachers can't be afraid to teach the bible to there congregation.
Just 2 little things I noticed. My brain was numb at the meeting or I might have caught more things.

I never thought I would
by Kool Jo inwell.....what can i say...after lurking and much research and eventual signing up on this forum...i filled out my fs report for april with average hours and magazines, but i never went out in the ministry.. it feels odd, and i feel bad for filling out time that i knew i never did...i hate the idea of going out to people's door and telling them a lie...not sure how much longer i can do this for .
just had to vent!.
peace.

I know exactly how you feel KoolJo. What bothers me more than fibbing on my FS time is actually going out peddling something that I know is not true and is damaging in the end. I cannot do it and I will not do it no matter what the consequences for fear that someone might actually be interested.

The Path to FREEDOM
by SweetBabyCheezits ini realize i peddle carl sagan like christians peddle jesus but i think every one of us who has survived the watchtower, regardless of our current beliefs, should be able to appreciate this.
in the path to freedom (chapter from one of his books), sagan was discussing frederick (bailey) douglass's life in the early 19th century and his quest for literal freedom.
see if anything here sounds familiar:.

No they will have an answer for this as well. They think that the Cry of Peace and Security is going to happen at a time of relative peace then all hell will break loose. You can't win with JW's. The WT has everything covered.

Question for you atheists...
by MrFreeze inor agnostics too.
are you open about your beliefs (or lack thereof i should say)?
when people talk about anything religious, do you mention that you don't believe in god?

Wasanelder once One day I hope to have friends like yours!
I think I'm between beliefs myself. I'm leaning towards atheism due to all the mounting evidence that actually supports the idea. I think just maybe there might be a divine spark from something we might call a diety but I don't think we could even conceptualize it's motives or moral imparatives. I think that the Bible is more likely a grand delusion just as much as the JW doctrine is but I'm not gonna say that for sure because I'm still wieghing the evidence on both sides. What the hell do I know anyway I'm just a man.
I think for anyone to say they have "the Truth" and have captured GOD in a conceptual box is very arrogent and presumptious.

MsGrowingGirl20 is no longer one of......
by MsGrowingGirl20 ini am no longer one of jehovah's witnesses(well mentally that is)---however i am a christian...i recently started reading different translations from www.biblegateway.com...jesus is so different to how the jw's teach....and god...i mean, i still am learning and confused about certain things but i am in love with them.... it's obvious that the jw's are not an organization of god.i don't think god is working through an organization but through individuals...however i am going to speak to an elder tomorrow about my issues---all of them---and i'm going to tell him everything--what i've been reading,where i got it from---everything!!
i'm not hiding anything!
i have done no wrong....i just want to be a true christian and if they disfellowship me for seeking answers then this is not where i need to be.

blond-moment I really like how succinct you are in your comparisons to the Spanish Inquisition. It's no wonder they don't won't women speaking or having position in the congregation. Women like you would embarrass them and make them feel like the small men they are.
I'm listening to Death or Obedience right now and It's amazing the amount of times the keep looping around to the BORG. the constantly try to bait him into giving his so called Apostate views of the Borganization. The elders even admit that the WT is NOT inspired of god but there in lies the problem. We are expected to follow the direction of something that is NOT inspired of God yet he directs them in there efforts to dispense food at the proper time??? This makes absolutely no logical sense whatsoever! It's like these Elders are on a constant loop till certain conditions are met. He has a great point about the changing views and how someone who holds one view in 2009 could be disfellowshiped for having a view held in say 1994. He also pointed out that the Generation teaching has flip flopped from representing the anointed to the wicked to the anointed. Increasing light is not flip flopping. By its very connotation the term suggests a building up of structured knowledge that is supported by even further evidence that should stand on top of what is already known is it not? Oh wait isn't that too close to the scientific method? That would make too much logical sense to be correct in JW land.

Anti witnessing
by thecrushed ini've been doing a lot of anti witnessing at work and i wondered if anyone has gone door to door and pretended they witnessed to the house holder but secretly inserted a message in the watchtower that said something like i'm trapped in a cult and have been forced to go door to door so that i can remain in good standing and keep from being shunned by my family.
help i'm in a cult never listen to me or anyone else that comes to your door in a suit!

Billy your a sobering voice on JWN thank you for all the sound advice you give. I have episodes of intense anger at these men who destroy so many lives over egotism. I need to over come it for sure and focus on the positive. My MIL really took it out of me these past 2 weeks. This thread was a passing thought and I was just curious. I'm not going to turn into a raving apostidemon I already have a Raving Jahooverdemon called my MIL.

It is common knowledge by now that the human brain is not fully developed till age 25. Informed consent is hardly possible at 12 or even 16! It's deplorable that parents can shun their own family like that. As they clamp down harder on them it only makes them run away faster! ROT ROT ROT! you Fing CULT!

I'm afraid the more I try and subtly sow seeds of doubt she looks at me and says honey I don't like where your going with this. She shuts her mind off before I get anywhere and one of these days she might turn me in.
