  Just don't negotiate with terrorists, don't waste ink or your voice, personally disfellowship yourself from them by having no contact. Tell your family Jesus had no answers for his accusers. But of course formally leaving shows your parents the shunning treatment. Parents not baptised it could prevent them from coming in when they observe the shunning .

  What happened in 1995?

  i was born in 1984 so was only 9yo in 1995. i read on various posts on here and on other websites about false expectations about 1975 and 1995. i'm aware of the 1975 failure but what was said in 1995?.

  It's the old carrot on a stick approach, always a lure , the problem lies in that for decades apon decades these religious frauds have predicted end times, I ask an elder how am I to refute a holders claim that we have cried wolf for centuries , how can we be expected to be taken seriously when our prophecy has failed, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

  If they stopped the monthly report card ?

  witnessing would cease, would it flow on to attendance numbers at meetings and then total decimation of the church..

  I agree steve2 , and the Jw have created a link between non reporting on card to being lukewarm , salvation is linked to the card , 6 months non reporting and you become irregular, then after time inactive, according to Jw inactive equates to death by god.

  Jehovah's people are not happy people

  by Phoebe in

  i finally stopped attending the meetings about 4 months go.

  i won't be going back - ever.. but i've decided the best reply to the watchtower is to be happy and i do try to be happy every day even thought i wasted my entire life on this religion.

  i cherish every day, practice mindfulness and do my best to be content with the life i have.. it is only now that i see that most jws i know are deeply unhappy people.

  The problem with depression pills is no one really knows what they are doing to the mind, some people deteriorate quickly after starting new medication. The only difference between a drug and a poison is the amount administered. The average Jw is run off their feet with obligations to head office that contentment and happiness eludes them.

  My awakening and concern

  by Issa in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  good evening everyone, i go by issa.

  as many former ex-witnesses, i "woke up" from believing that the jw org is the "truth".

  this happened during this month thanks to information from jw-facts and youtube videos about ex-witnesses' experience in this org.

  Welcome Issa, from now on you can look at the org from outside in. You can ask family though provoking questions but remember to act innocent. Their witch hunts are real so tread lightly if you are still at home. We look forward for updates on your endeavour to slip out and hopefully save some others.

  cheers chook

  How to convince someone to leave.

  hey everyone, long time lurker, first time poster.

  i'm currently in a jehovah's witnesses household, which is very deep into the "truth".

  i woke up a few months ago, and i haven't told my parents yet.

  Welcome Smiruk ,You really can't convince anybody ,they have to come to that conclusion themselves, directing someone to challenge the belief system is difficult but not impossible. Just stick with facts you can't go wrong with facts, stay away from interpreting scripture. Think of your own indoctrination therapy first , the evils of this cult run deep.

  I voted no, fuck them even if they are cult affected or family , they need to wake up and leave the religion, there is no healing while being subjected to propaganda.
