  Do you believe in Love?

  by freeflyingfaerie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  maybe you are an atheist.. maybe you are agnostic.. you have left a cult, left behind an entire belief system, complete with detailed instructions on how to live..rules to follow for every aspect of your very life.

  you know it was a big lie.. you are now naked, staring at your soul.

  just you, just your own thoughts, just your own voice, your own feelings.

  Is the Governing Body EVIL or IGNORANT?

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some of you will have noticed that i've been paying a lot of attention to the governing body recently.

  this is because most jehovah's witnesses venerate them collectively (even if they can't name them individually), and i feel this makes it important to understand this group of men properly and expose their mindset as individuals.

  as the saying goes, i feel it's important to "know your enemy".. i realize it's very convenient to think of the governing body as being "evil" when we consider that they are ultimately responsible for all the damaging jw teachings and beliefs.

  Ignorance is evil when is wilful, if you don’t have access to all the information, you are a prisoner, even mentally.

  Close friend recently disfellowshipped.

  by Emery in

  2. bible

  just recently i had a very close friend call to notify me of their future disfellowshipping.

  i felt such sadnesss by their phone call as they seemed pretty shook up and were desperately pleading their repentance over the phone so i wouldn't think critically of them.

  i immediately reassured that person that i still loved and cherished them greatly regardless of their status, i would be there whenever they needed me.

  This cult sounds like an induction to life in Oceania.

  It seems she is searching for the truth, I wish her good luck. Truth seeking can be a very long journey and it is easy to get lost.

  It is good to keep both feet on the ground and to stand for something.

  Hi Emery, it depends how well you know this person and their circumstances, but if you really care about them, tell them TTATT, and save them all the anguish they are going through right now.

  Listen in a non-judgemental way, and compare to them the way they were treated with the way Jesus treated his followers, and then keep adding other inconsistencies of the organization to future conversations. I am sure you wont run out of them.

  I hope they don’t come back, and that they can make a good life for themselves out of this abusive/hypocritical/insane cult. The same for you.
