this is both encouraging and heart wrenching. i remember the anxiety i felt as i realized that the gb was an evil slave. they have had my family hostage for 3 generations! i knew in that fateful moment the heavy price i will have to pay for my thought crimes.

A heart-wrenching comment from the JW survey...
by cedars ini've just received this comment from a country in the south china sea.
i'd rather not be more specific than that.. the english is poor, but the message is heart-wrenching.
any who question whether ordinary publishers wrestle with doubts need only read this message.

Just got an email from a few JW's about the russians labeling the religion a totalitarian sect. Duh! but not the hysteria is reaching a fevor pitch because they see this as of course persecution and an all out assault by govts on Jehovah's eyeball. OH brother!

You & Your Family Will Be Harmed If You Dont Obey The FDS 8/15/12 WT
by yourmomma inhere is a quote from the 8/15/12 watchtower study simplified edition that just was posted on jw.org.. on page 13 paragraph 12 it says "those who ignore the warnings from the faithful and discreet slave will harm themselves and those they love.".
also, another doozy is earlier on paragraph it likens those who have not read social networking articles from the faithful slave before using, "is like taking a powerful medicine without first reading the warning on the bottle.".
im not even done reading this whole magazine yet, but i thought i'd share these insane comments.

I'm going through the same feelings myself and I totally understand your pain we share it. The grip in getting tighter in the GB reteric and as it does I think it will be its downfall. There is only so small the box can get till you sufficate. Remember to breath and I mean that literally and metaphorically. I started medicating with alcohol and now I'm starting to replace it with avid reading of everything from the bible to science and evolution.

Is this summation of the JW preaching work fair?
by nicolaou in.
"if you consistently reject our message you will deserve the death our god brings upon you"..

Don't forget those like myself who actually at one time was extremely distressed that billions of people would die if I didn't go out and try and save them. Some JW's truly want to save people from destruction not just what they can get out of it. Even though misguided these minority JW's are at least doing it for the right reason.

6/15 WT - WT Society can Run it's Business - but JW's Can't Have their Own
by flipper inin the typical do as we say , not as we do type mentality - the wt society puts forth in this current wt study article ( jw's only wt ) - that it's not " advisable " or " reasonable " for jehovah's witnesses to seek entering their own business ventures , or further themselves by getting a college education, or even have a career - due to the imminent coming of the alleged " end of the system " or alleged " paradise " .
the guilt and control used here is ridiculous.
in the article titled , " why put jehovah's service first ?

9:40 Symposium:Motivate Right hearted Ones to Love . . . Their Spiritual Father (Acts 13:48; 16:14) Their Spiritual Mother (Proverbs 6:20)
by wolfman85 inthis is a topic for dc 2012. it turns out that more than 7 million jw are not the spiritual children of god to the wt, the most we can hope for is to be his friends.
are we or are we not spiritual children of god?
the truth is that this organization has made us spiritual bastards.. the other theme of "spiritual mother" has pagan and idolatrous connotations.

Apostates defeated once again.....
by nananana inbefore the mentally diseased apostates could get their hands on and dissect any information regarding the convention that hadn't been released to regular publishers/elders...the society released the district program on the official site completely and utterly slaying every single demented apostate on the face of the earth.
now have fun dissecting it kiddos, while we big kids get a taste of solid, spiritual meet this summer.
continue drowning in misery while god's people go on rejoicing and enduring these last days.

Even as an asleep JW I wouldn't say something so stupid. I've met some really intelligent people here and I only see JW's making hateful closed minded remarks. Who is mentally deseased now??

I made it!! I'm just so freaking happy!!!
by Rocky_Girl inas some of you know, i started college 5 years ago for the first time at age 27. i had been out of the "truth" for 9 years at that time, but had just broken free of the mentality.
well, on saturday i walked across the stage with the 130th graduating class at rocky mountain college!.
after 5 years of working several jobs, taking care of two little boys as a single mom, and trying to get the most out of my college experience, i earned my master of accountancy, bachelor of science in business management, and minors in writing and organizational leadership.
