I Just Can't Do It!
by Sentinel in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i was rather surprised to see this subject in the forum, and so it peeked my curiousity.. when i was floundering in the borg, i really slowed down to a snails pace as far as reading any of the wt literature.. when i decided to walk away, (at the time with guilt and self doubt), i got rid of all the literature.

i had not renewed my wt subscribtion, and was not getting any other literature in the mail.

so, there was nothing coming in.

I Stopped The Madness & So Can You

well, for starters, you might just "stop" everything.

take a sabatical from physical intimacy.

) believe me, this will clear your head from too much overcrowding of emotion.. if you can't sleep, and your head feels like a million people are swimming around in there, you need a bit of help from something that will calm you down.

hello all my new friends here,.

when i disassociated myself back in 1981, there were only just a couple instances afterwards, where the jdubs came to my door in the service of their ministry.

during those times, i would never ever answer the door.

Noah's Flood & Other Bible Stories
by Sentinel in
1. watchtower
2. bible
did anyone catch the east coast tlc (the learning channel) programs last night?

the first one was about noah's flood.

the program after that was about sodom & gammorah, the ancient apocalypse.. the programs were trying to establish that events have happened, and have been recorded, but the facts have been distorted within the structures of various existing societies inside the bounds of "religious dogma".

Surviving the Hearing to DF Me.
by Sentinel in
1. jw
2. experiences
i must say that reading all these posts have really brought back so many memories for me.

i had a terrible experience at my hearing, which i believe now, really bordered on sexual abuse of the mental kind.. our congregation was small.

this was difficult for the few young people that attended.

Finding out Who you really are
by Sentinel in
1. jw
2. experiences
good morning everyone,.

i'm very new on here--just "born yesterday", as a matter of fact, but am finding out how wonderful it is to be able to be free to express thoughts and opinions, share ideas, give comfort, and find hope, within "these walls".. i'm going to ask a question, and that is, how long did it take any of you souls out there to find your true self, after leaving jw's?

i was very young when i was first introduced to the studies of jw's.
