  My parents were contacted, studied with, and baptised into JW'ism.

  Us kids had no say in the matter and therefore tagged along.

  My Reverse-Shunning Letter To My Mother

  by pale.emperor in

  2. experiences

  i mailed the below letter to my mother a few weeks ago.

  i did share it on the ex-jw facebook group but thought i'd post it here.. basically, she's shunned me since day 1, has little or nothing to do with my 3yo daughter and told my sister "i hope <my daughter> becomes a jw when she's older so i can welcome her into the family".

  well, that was the last straw for me..

  After being in the so-called "Truth" makes me despise all religions.

  by Fader812 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after being a jw made me lose trust in religion, from the lies, hypocrisy and greed of this organization made me lose faith completely.

  what does one do after this mind f$%@, what is there to look forward to?

  do i make up my own agnostic theory in head and hope for the best?

  One bitten, twice shy as they say. Now i demand evidence for anything im going to believe, and even then im never so bold as to say it's 100% accurate.

  Couldn't agree more.

  Judicial meeting questions.

  why do elders ask such perverted questions during judicial meetings?

  kinda creeped me out, actually creeped me out a lot.

  And one of the other elders, the one who had lost his daughter, came up to her after a meeting and said it was her that should have been killed in a car accident not his lovely daughter who was strong in the truth -- unlike her.

  Having to endure an abusive JC is bad enough however, to then be told the above is beyond sickening!

  NWT - revised 1984 vs revised 2013 versions

  by Tallon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the latest 2013 revision the footnote of john chapter 8 states; a number of ancient and authoritative manuscripts omit vs 53 (of chapter 7) to chapter 8, vs. 11.. yet the 1984 revision quotes a similar footnote, however the passage of scripture is included in the text, albeit separately at the bottom.

  this passage of scripture is about the scribes and the pharisees who brought a woman that was accused of adultery before jesus to test him on the punishment to be meted out.

  then came his famous reply; let the one of you that is sinless be the first to throw a stone at her.. i just found it interesting that the wtbts would leave this out in the latest revision.

  My thought bubble in the 1980's;

  How can anyone leave the truth? - whether df'd, da'd or fading (my naive thinking).

  My thought bubble in the 2010's

  Good for them. Those who left in years gone bye saw through all the BS before I did.

  As for Supertramp; great band. My favourite album of theirs is - Breakfast in America.
