Why did you become a Jehovah's Witness ?

by Gnosis in

why did you become a jehovah's witness ?.

initially upon entering the religion what were the positive things you experienced ?.

how did that particular way of thinking both benefit and harm you ?.

My mother had studied breifly with the Witnesses about five or ten years before my birth, but at the time it didn't take. After I was born, she was trapped in an abusive relationship with my father (non-JW) and the reappearance of the Witnesses at her door seemed like a life-saver. She took it to mean that she was meant to "raise me in the Truth" and was baptized when I was an infant, shortly after divorcing my father.

Growing up, I was initially very theocratic and enthusiastic about the whole religion. I loved going door-to-door, answering questions at the meetings, and I even learned learned a second language—now long forgotten—to join up with a foreign language group that had formed in my town after an influx of immigrants. But I was lucky enough to be in the Gifted and Talented programs at school, which pushed a lot of science from an early age, and also to have been born in the information era. By fourteen I was an atheist, and have been so ever since. I was pulled out of public school and homeschooled when my mother found out about my secular beliefs. Literally, I was kept under total house arrest for three years. That, along with my incredibly isolated childhood, caused a lot of mental health issues for me which I'm still working through. I left home for good at age eighteen.

These days, she's either faded or outright DF'ed, I've never asked. We don't talk much about the religion, but it's a large source of resentment and built-up anger between the two of us. I can safely say that the organization destroyed my childhood, and severely damaged my relationships with my entire family, both JW and non. I think I'll always have a feeling of being an outsider, some alien looking in at the world from the outside. On the other hand, I would not have the same passion for science, logic, and rationality that I do now if I didn't grow up as a JW.

Watchtower and Anonymous Links, Updates, News, etc.

by DT in

i wanted to consolidate a lot of the information about the attack of anonymous against the watchtower society.

if you disagree with the tactics of anonymous, that's fine.

this information may still be useful as the public is made more aware of the the dangerous policies of the watchtower society.

I guess we just don't know the day or hour. New light: Evidently, the generation who saw the Anonymous youtube video will overlap with the generation who will decrypt the database.

LOLOL omg best (and probably most apt) Anonymous/JW joke ever. Everyone can go home now.

Were you a JW trophy wife? Not necessarily a serious thread.

by FlyingHighNow in

sal, it's funny but things were much more shallow in the dubs.

i noticed some of the ugliest blokes getting pretty little trophy wives so long as they had a job or were the sons of elders.

my dad (an elder) even went so far as to encourage me to come back to the dubs because i would easily pull a good looking wife .

It's not a comfortable or reassuring feeling , if words like groping or ogling pass though your mind during your wedding day photos ...I would guess
vb
1. to look at (someone) amorously or lustfully
2. (tr) to stare or gape at
groping...
1. To reach about uncertainly; feel one's way: groped for the telephone.
2. To search blindly or uncertainly

I'm getting married soon and if there is not both groping AND ogling very apparent from both parties in our wedding photos, the day will have been a failure. Then again, there's usually groping and ogling at all times, so...

We don't need to worry about convincing each other, but I think it would be to everyone's benefit if we try to conter-act their false information. If nothing else than to protect SilentLambs from unwarranted attacks by Anon.

You're quoting two seperate posts. Line 18. wasn't attached to Line 15. originally. Whoever has been releasing these "Anonymous" press releases claiming that SilentLambs and the Watchtower are working together is probably someone WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION who's trying to cause a bunch of confusion and send everyone off chasing wild geese before this takes off.

You can see that this is the original post:

I was given this information a few hours ago and was trying to find a more private place to post it, but a hacker I know who is close to several ex-JWs has this... I don't know the technicals of it, but I hope it helps.

Right now what they need are proper hackers with enough security in place to protect themselves. They know everything they need to know to begin hacking into the WT's e-mail, they just need the manpower. http://www.qcslink.com/ is who they go through, it's JW-owned but doesn't appear to be run by the Watchtower.

Jerry Springer & Shows Like His

by minimus in

jw
friends

do you ever watch it?

have you ever been on a show like that?.

where do they get these people?

dalek

Like 70% of Jerry's guests are regular people who're doing this for a laugh/free all-expenses paid trip. Jeremy Kyle's seem legit though, I saw a few minutes of it when I was staying in London... frankly I'm shocked any of his guests could manage to find one person to bump uglies with, let alone several. Ugliest people I've ever seen in my life.

This is just more WT thinking you boys need to deprogram. Women don't smile sexy just for you when they're competeing in the Olympics, the same way they weren't "trying to cause Brothers to stumble" when their skirt showed some ankle in the JWs.

However her smile definitely seems to indicate that she knows how she looks.

Dude, she's hot as hell, but MAYBE HER SMILE SEEMS TO INDICATE THAT THE ONE MOMENT SHE'S SPENT HER ENTIRE LIFE PREPARING FOR IS FINALLY AT HAND AND SHE'S COMPETEING IN THE OLYMPICS?

Just maybe.
