there are two things that just drive me crazy.
one is that the art work in the watchtower is treated like they are actual still photo's taken thousands of years ago.
your will hear comments about look at the smiles on their faces or the sadnees or happiness in their eyes, or notice the reaction of the crowd, etc.
And why have bowls of fruit as if bought from the local store? Can't you just pick your own and eat when you are hungry?
Guess what?!? I have taken to wearing headbands now, lol, and I love them! Bwhahahaha!!
So long as they are not red, they are the worst kind
exactly a year ago today, i made my first post on jw net.. this then prompted me to disassociate from the jw cult and get my life back.. it's been a rollercoaster year but i can honestly say, after 12 months, i am in a much better place than i was a year ago.. it was the best thing i ever did.
no regrets.
life is hard but good too!!.
- life is so much better when you can think for yourself, congratulations, have fun
besides being overworked and overstressed almost everyday in the past few months,.
i've had to deal with a 'broken heart', insecurities with my physical appearance (gained a lot of weight),.
and being lonely because i started distancing myself from the 'congregation', i just want to cry, sob, and bawl out here in my bedroom.
I couldn't cry either, for years. My psychologist said it was fine and that one day I would. Years later I was able to, now any soppy film or sad story will set me off. Don't worry if you can't, it might just be a safety mechanism, why not try a sad film?
this is a great collection of watchtower quotes that contradict themselves.. probably been posted before but worth a look!.

Some good research and well compiled
correct me if i am wrong , wasnt this first brought before the courts on the 20/09/2012 ?
if not earlier ?.
candace conti has held out from taking a settlement from the wtb&ts which would require a gag order .
I hope they're doing okay and that the judgement in itself has given them some comfort. To put your life on hold until something happens will be costing them emotionally, I wish them every happiness and hope they are enjoying life meantime.
Just what I needed, a good laugh. That was very funny
forget the apple pie and just grab this booklet!.

i recently found out that my family's horriable experience helped one mother decide to never go back!!
in turn, her 2 teenage children have been living normal lives.
i can't tell you how happy i am for them..
That is great, glad to know someone is thinking for themselves
i've been a lurker for quite some time and enjoy the forum.
i've reached a point in life where i don't argue ideologies anymore so i don't have much to say.
i've been out for decades and believe i've been mostly de-cultabilized (if that's even a word).. my family is still in and i haven't had contact with them in years.
Welcome Mark
please help me with this: can you think of a single mind-controlling cult that isn't anti-gay???
it seems to me that virtually all such groups preach against homosexuality.
jws.....mormons....moonies.....jim jones.....david koresh.....the catholic church.....radical islam.....russian orthodox church......scientology......lyndon larouche...to name just a few.
