In a nutshell, what is the wackiest jw thing?

by stuckinarut2 in

what is the wackiest...strangest....most unusual jw teaching or practice?

FayeDunaway

The blood policy. That something that is sacred because it is the 'symbol' of life, can actually be more important than saving a life.

there are many former witnesses I have contact with, and few visit or post on sites like this. One of them visited for a while but didn't post. I visited a few several years ago but never posted until recently.

I think it's a mental thing, it really does take cajones to register on an apostate site, after all we've been told our lives. I think you can take the number of new posters here and figure the number leaving is exponentially larger.

He asked the question of 'those who felt like him'! You all were much gentler than often, but still, why chime in in this case? Wouldnt it be the same if someone came in with Christian comments when someone asked to hear atheist views? It'd be annoying as heck, right?

to date JWism has defined my life and i hate that TRUTH

by oompa in

and i am finding the adjustment to the real world far more difficult than i ever imagined...i f...it has been about five years since i totally woke up to the fraudulant nwt and then all my other doubts i had carried for years were proved true as well.

but almost all of my few friends are exjw or slack jw's and i feel so isolated...my sons friends are mostly exjw too but not their gf's and they have way more normal friends .

how have you done at replacing lifelong friends and family?

FayeDunaway

Shoot, wish I could go back in time and be his 'winggal'. It was one of the last things he said.

I'm so sorry, oompa. I hope you found some peace. <3

Has This Site Ever Hurt You In Your Journey Out Of The JW Religion?

by minimus in

this site has gone through many metamorphosis over the years.

i believe it is a kinder, less edgy place tan it was a few years ago.

i wonder how many people were helped versus turned off by this place.

FayeDunaway

Wow. Maybe Trevor has moved to Nigeria and found a new living. :)

thats awful tho, that someone would take advantage of other people like that. He probably was in desperate need of attention....and then when he was exposed, slammed everyone for being gullible, to inflate his own ego.

Thanks for filling us newbies in.

Ok, searching a bit for this guy named Trevor and 'trevorgate' and what happened...doesn't make that much sense tho. Will one of you long timers sum it up for me??

I think I came across this site some years ago and was turned off...I think by outlaw's abrasive humor. No offense outlaw, I just wasn't ready for it yet! You are the one person I remember from back then. So either now I'm used to it/feel the same way, or you have become more lighthearted with your posts/pictures, and they are more humorous than offensive. Possibly a combination of all those factors, but probably mostly the change is in me. I think back then freeminds was easier for me to swallow. But in recent history I hadn't looked at anything apostate for a few years. Now I'm pretty much addicted to this site...found it a couple months ago again, wanting to research some possible changes in JW theology. It's fun :).
