some (especially witnesses) may wonder what brings us to places like this?.
why is it that we have chosen to step away from the society that we once viewed as "the truth", despite the consequences for doing so?.
well for any visitors to this site, or any other "apostate" sites, the answer is simple really:.
Dumb ass me didn't get out of waters way until the dam was
leaking everywhere , but to be truthful I think in next 5 years JWs will see ALL the leaks ,there will be internal turmoil. They ( the elders) won't have time to deal with apostates due to internal problems. It's called Karma or reaping what you've sown.
when answering door ask jw what is the youngest age that they have heard of their young ones getting baptised.
response will be between 7-14 depending on there mental capacity to recall.
then proceed to ask if this young one later in life joins another religion is there any sanctions .

Then kindly suggest that you cannot have anything to do with a religion that shuns people for going to church. Remember always say church not KH.
I want to welcome my beautiful wife here, she has found my user name and has my alerts, I just wanted her alerted to my love.
i know that it must seem silly to ask, but my brother and his family think that the big a will arrive before they die.
i tried to explain to my brother that everyone else who has ever lived in the past has died and only jesus has [physically] rose from the dead.. it is amazing that anyone could buy that line.
what crazy cult culture that could make people believe such nonsense?!.
I believed that in a twinkling of an eye me and my mates were to be riding horses that had the blood of dead enemies up to the chest. We weren't going to die we were going to be like God, indestructible immortality was bestowed apon us. O and the children we murdered we has no emotion toward their pain .God and I partied after.
tweek the jw story, pandas , nice gardens, only friends there, no sickness, good house , then get rid of hard line policies, appeal to masses ,then the money will roll.
it's always the money..

i got thinking if wt only did public talks there would be no record of bb(biblical bullsh..).
if you think old writings were bad , the bull some of these prophets spoke at assemblies makes the old books sound like nursery stories..

other posts have mentioned the similarities between jws and n. korea with regards to uniformity of dress and grooming, backlash for criticism and being hard to escape.
just thought i'd add a couple more, thanks to quotes from david mikkelson and john delury, a n. korea analyst at yonsei university in seoul, s. korea:.
north korea is notorious for a lack of transparency.
North Korea's fat boy fed 7 generals in an arena to 300 starving German Shepards, Big TonyMorris is going to use the birds if mid heaven to eat all you apostates on this forum. It's a bird ,no it's a plane, no it's Big Tony with wings.
or do they stay at hotels?
do most jws know who's on the governing body?
if one just showed up at church would he be immediately recognized?
Since broadcasting most JW at least know the faces (especially bro Lett). If one turned up at regular KH ,you would see JWs do an action similar to the Jews with the golden calf. All members CLAIM to be annointed. If you believe the GB they will imply that they are chosen by God, Holy Spirit ,but in reality it's all about connections no different from mafia,it's all about who you know. GB do override all decisions that they disagree with. Lastly they only stay where THEY want to stay eg good old friends,Marriott ,Hilton,6 star hotel for our boys.
so like the title suggests, i'm going to break up with my boyfriend today.
it's for several reasons, but mostly because i'm not prepared for a relationship.
i need to grow and learn what it's like to be me now that i'm not a jw and learn how to love myself so i don't make the person i am with miserable.
Most on here can sympathise with you due is us being damaged goods to some degree, but as others said there are professionals who CAN help, also reading experiences of how others overcome their troubles does help. You have done the right thing by seeking advice on here because wisdom can come from the most unlikely sources. A true friend is someone who doesn't judge your motives because they know and care for you, hang in there. You seem the caring type ,real friends are attracted to people like that. 99% on here are cult affected ,we are here to look after each other.
family has problems ,they approach elders ,who in turn spiel what ever is latest memo from hq.
due to complex nature of cult affected individuals elder turn to cos for the curly problems.
this is where the death of jw family takes place.
Every JW family with a DF individual is in a dying state. The emotional trauma bestowed on members in and out is without worldly precedent. There have been more suicides than Jonestown. To put in print not to attend DF funeral is emotional death to some people. IF God is love then surely he has nothing to do with any of this.
i think the single biggest mistake the governing body have made in the last 10 years has to be creating jw broadcasting and putting their gb members on there... on a weekly basis too.. when i was a kid, i had no idea who the governing body were, what their names were or what they looked like.
there was one or two long term pioneers that knew the names of two of them but that was about it.. when i was about 10yo i imagined they looked something like this:.
ahh.... those learned men with a lifetime of bible knowledge just oozing out of their very hearts.
As soon as they broadcast, their mystic most holy persona just flew the coup. Even if these men started with good intentions once they forsook ONE soul to a bullish... judicial decision ( such as someone DF for not believing latest light) they became condemned . The young bred members now are more accountable due to KNOWING the history has been changed, for changing scripture there are plagues waiting.
