  Any successful methods to discreetly reach out to someone who is studying?

  by sseveninches in

  my father had me go with him to do a study, and the guy looked like he's a pretty smart guy, and he was asking legitimate questions that i had my own answers to, but of course i couldn't say them.. i'm wondering if anyone has successfully been able to convince/warn anyone that they're getting sucked into a cult.

  i wanted to just secretly slip him a note, but i'm always scared to do that from fear of the person throwing me under the bus.

  then i got the idea of sending him a text message from a number that can't be traced back to me.

  How to make your exit with minimal pain while still living at home with your parents

  as requested, i've made a new thread with the info i posted on a previous thread.

  this is intended for young jws who have woken up from their anesthesia but still cannot move, or in other words, have learned ttatt but are still living with parents and are afraid of getting kicked out if they make their opinions/findings known.

  i am included in this group of people, because i myself still live at home with parents.

  Anyone in Miami?

  where you're an ex-jw or still a jw, if you live in miami, florida (broward/palm beach county is cool too), i want to hear your story.

  i've already given mine, but i'll tell it again just for the purpose of this thread.. i was researching masturbation because of the fact that the wt makes it out to be such a bad thing despite admitting that it isn't even mentioned in the bible.

  along with that, i was researching "porneia" in general, and then i discovered this site.

  Nothing new, but JWs view the Society & Jehovah as the same

  during the wt study yesterday, a sister made a comment that i have a hard time forgetting - something about "the society or jehovah approving of" something related to divorce.

  it was always something that i've inferred based on the actions of most jws, but i never thought that some would say it blatantly..

  Paradise earth doctrine - did it strike anyone else as a bit odd?

  by sseveninches in

  2. bible

  i have neglected to read jwfacts.org since discovering jwn a few weeks ago (remnants of the "apostate" defenses in action), but recently i decided to dive head first into it, and it has been eye-opening.

  of course, some of the information i already knew through reading jwn, but one of the pages that really got my attention was the paradise earth topic under "questionable doctrine".. paradise earth caught my eye because way before i started having doubts about jw doctrine, i have always been asking questions about the topic - not to raise doubts (since i didn't have any back then), but just for my personal understanding, and to see how plausible it could be.

  in the past i have asked things like:.

  hi guys,.

  i call myself a lurker, but it's really been a short time since i've known about this site...it's only been five days.

  i discovered this site while doing personal research on the topics of porneia, oral sex, and mutual masturbation, and found a thread on this site about it.
