sd-7 I know how you feel. I'm tired of having to hide like a criminal when all I've done is decided to think for myself.

Someone in here is a mole
by focariedu21 inhy guys the other day my wife had a discussion with her jws brother and he told her that he received all posted material from this site posted by myself and was disgusted with the information.
now that's all fine by me but what i am pissed about is that some one in here from sydney australia is a mole and pretends to be an ex jws while all the while exposing each and every one he knows as in my case.
you are one big coward and one who hides behind a skirt a yellow and a chicken shit whom doesn't have the balls to face me in person because you obviously know who i am.

just one more reason among many that this religion is a cult. it trully is very sad that these cowards have nothing better to do than to ruin other peoples lives. they well know that to out someone before they are ready can result in homelessness and in some cases suicide.

Good Signs from my wife? maybe? She wants to improve her thinking ability!
by thecrushed inso after the memorial hell http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/249700/1/memorial-hell my wife totally missed the special talk and i only just realized from jwn that she has.
in fact last sunday i took her out to a park and we had nice time in the fresh air enjoying nature.
also she has taken up improving her congnitive skills on luminosity and today said she might actaully go and study some algebra on khan academy which i had suggested instead of spending money on luminosity.

Retrovirus! that is a great idea! She is a smart person even though she doesn't think so. She has a huge self esteem issue.

I just finished The Silmarillion. Any suggestions on next Tolkien to read?
by sd-7 ini've read 'the hobbit', 'the lord of the rings' (including the appendices, well, except the shire calendar and elvish language), and 'the silmarillion'.
i was really impressed with 'silmarillion'.
almost seems like it could be a movie in itself.

A personal message to you lurking Jehovah's Witnesses out there

JW's are just plastic manikins, hollow and screaming bloody murder behind those glassy eyes and fake smiles. Deep in their gut they are screaming to be let free but because they are told that they cannot EVER trust their own treacherous hearts they ignore those voices inside and keep painting that smile on day in and day out hoping beyond hope that it all ends soon.

Lost GEnwierd thing is she has a college degree already but it has been a long time for her. We are both really busy so mostly I'm thinking internet free courses and stuff. I'm the one with no degree LOL but with the critical thinking skills and Independant mind.

sd-7 just because I couldn't think of your name doesn't mean I don't wanna hear from you. :) I don't know what you mean about the paranoia?? Anyway you said one doesn't just wake up to TTATT but I DID! ??? I should have said I want to hear from my fellow Athiest, Agnostic, Humanist, Intellectual and non religious perspectives. I can't argue doctrine with her anyway because that will just dig her hills into the JW theology.
I need suggestions or experiences of what has worked for others when it comes to critical thinking skills. Hopefully I can keep this neutral and over time bring in more touchy subjects over time.

So after the memorial hell http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/249700/1/Memorial-Hell my wife totally missed the special talk and I only just realized from JWN that she has. In fact last sunday I took her out to a park and we had nice time in the fresh air enjoying nature. Also she has taken up improving her congnitive skills on luminosity and today said she might actaully go and study some algebra on Khan Academy which I had suggested instead of spending money on luminosity.
This is the same behavior I engaged in right before I fully woke up to TTATT. I believe this very intense excersizing of the mind is a good window of opportunity to plant some subtle critical thinking into her. Any suggestions or theories on this? Maybe I can get her to study Logic and Critical thinking courses with me now and then her own mind will start to see the bullshit written in the pages of the WT like I did.
For some reason she has become obsessed with improving her IQ and feels like she has gotten dumb over the years. I felt the same before I woke up and just felt like my mind was turning to mush. I seriously see some kind of subconcience connection here.
I ran into so many questions in my life that screamed to be answered that JW's only had one sentence platitude answers to. Over and over I heard "wait on Jehovah" Don't run ahead of the Org" and We will have to wait till the New system to find out when our minds are perfect" After a while the inquisitive mind either shuts down or drives you crazy till you get some satisfiying logical answers. Mine drove me nuts and lead me to search for science and reason. I see the beginnings of this in my dear wife but I must tred carefully. Again please dialog on this. Can't Leave, Billy the Exbethalite, Capt. Obvious, Cofty??
Maybe its wishful thinking I don't know this might be my moment to start a dialog and involve her in intellectual discussions. I just don't know how much she can take or how to do this in the right way. I'm an info dumper and I can't just lay down evolutionary theory to her.
