I am woke up for only a few months. This how I have been waking up my wife and it’s working.
I am being extra loving. Bring her coffee in bed. Flowers, feet rubs. Just being a nice guy😁chocolate. Whatever I can do I will because I love her.
We have been watching one strange rock with Will smith. Great show that makes you think without preaching to her I mean who likes being preached to lol. I kiss her love her and if she wants to go to the meeting then fine I will not stand her way she needs to find herself she is important to
I am not worried anymore and that started when I stopped giving power to a bunch of self entered old farts and young up and coming farts they have no leverage on me anymore and that is one of the most freeing feelings for a guy that has been reaching out and kissing men’s asses for the feeling that your pleasing GOD
so instead of spending my time in hypocritical talk giving and working for the elders I am giving my time to myself and my wife and supportive to the online community of exjw activists especially have a lot of work to do when the tower collapses
so a recent post by a troller linked to a youtube vid of the midweek meeting stream: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5119948566298624/great-announcement.
just assuming everyone knows that this is the congregation in pt.
richie, fl that wt uses for all the shut ins approved for logging into www.stream.jw.org with the privilege of getting their meetings at home.
I was only a ministerial servent. I gave my talks everything I had. I really thought I was doing the right thing. I only woke up a few months ago it hurt me bad. I am still trying to figure things out. I can’t do it either anymore. I am just not going to do it.
My last meeting just a few weeks ago I told my coordinator that he was a hipocrite and that the millstone has been cast and the rope was tied around his neck. That was the study a few weeks ago on lap dancing and a couple of paragraphs on stumbling. He commented like a fool. I couldn’t handle it I had to call him out. I said it lowed enuf to be herd by others. I was just saying what others wanted to say for years but had no balls.
They think I am depressed and that I will come around. Actually I am cut to the bone with hurt. If I was weaker I would hang myself at the front door with my story pinned to my shirt. I the end I don’t think they would care anyway.

hey this is crazyguy, forgot my password so this is my new name.
anyway be sure to all you new ones that if you post any personal info on this forum or respond to pms asking for email addresses this information maybe able to be used by wt spies to try and find out who you are!
someone has recently pmd me asking for my email address or more accurately to respond to his email address which would give him mine, this maybe an innocent request but this person also has no posting history.
I got one of those emails to. Thanks for the heads up.
i have been introduced to this site by my new friends that are helping me navigate through the reality of waking up and finding out that i have been lied to my whole life.
i grew up in the truth and have given over thirty years to this organization and the few years i wasn’t there my mind was certainly trapped.
the more i think about it i am really not that surprised there was a lot along the way that should have woken me up but it took till recently.
Great comments everyone. Much appreciated
as a person that has recently come to terms with the reality that the truth is not really the truth .
does anyone else remember the feeling when they realized things were just not true.
it’s wierd all the years i spent preaching i never really considered what it must have felt like to have two people at your door trying to convince you that your religion of birth was a lie.
I really Value your comments.
I think we are having such a hard time with these revealed truths about having to die. Or the reality that we might not see our loved ones again or all of the bizarre fairy tales we were taught because what we were taught.
Its a shock really is but I can’t help but think how shocked a Muslim kid is that wakes up or even a devoted chatholic. I mean they must be shocked to.
I think as a Jehovah’s Witness though we are very unique. We were taught that everything revolved around us and fait of the whole universe rested on weather we were loyal to Jehovah or not. That’s a lot to bear. Abuse comes in many forms. Mentally abusing some especially when there down or as children is not fair and wrong. All of us if you have been a JW are mentally abused including our loved ones inside. I feel it’s worth while cause for me to reach out and help. This abuse has to stop period
hey everyone my nice new friends.
i had my first visit with a therapist today.
i was totally open with everything.
Hey everyone my nice new friends.
I had my first visit with a therapist today. I was totally open with everything. No lightning strikes from heaven. Even Tony Morris can’t hurt me.
With your waking up. Go talk to someone. Be honest. The world doesn’t hate us. They love us. They want to help. Take the positives from being a JW and use it to move on. If your older no problem just pick up your feet. Shake the dust off and see where you can make a difference. What a wild ride.
in my city philadelphia they closed many kingdom halls.
my hall was desolved and most of the publishers were added to a congregation that only had 50 publishers.
.
I live in northern Canada and it’s being felt here to. The brothers and sisters are so nieve to the reality. They all think it’s a sign the the great tribulation is getting closer. The last four at least local needs parts were all about setting up your go bag. That’s how they are keeping everyone’s mind off the reality that there being ripped off and taken advantage of. I mean even the LDC guys coming around are completely in the dark and think it’s all about keeping up with the chariot. Crazy stuff I tell ya.
this is one of the saddest places a person can ever be in for sure.
this is were the person is no longer in the organization physically, for whatever reason.
they haven't attended meetings in years.
The way I look at it I am sure for the rest of my life this thought of oh no is this it will always be here.
Truly though I am not worried about it anymore. I mean I tried the best I could and if Jehovah wants to kill me for being a critical thinker then so be it. I can’t tell you how many times I have thought over the last few years of taking my life. Thinking my wife would be better off with some elder who has his shit together. I don’t want to live even one more day under this theocracy nightmare let alone forever. I always thought I would end up with the crowd in the picture at the end of the revelation book. I just couldn’t crack there group. I was never a ass kisser. From what I am witnessing with you guys on here I would rather take my chances with you guys.
In my opinion religion in general is just a hurtful machine and the sooner we break free as a society the better the chance we will have to save this planet from the problems we have. These guys at the WT have really hurt me and robbed me of a lot.
I am not going away. If these guys push me into a corner then watch out. To say I am not angry is a understatement. I need to try to rescue my family that I indoctrinated because I was to stupid and lazy to do my research. these guys have a lot to answer for. Talk about secret society’s. This one takes the cake. Mr Morris is the one with the blood on his hands not me.
Sorry for venting
this is my first post.
i feel intimidated because i don't really know computers to well and i hope that i don't break any rules.
i became a jw in 1981. i left in 91. i have so many questions.
I appreciate your thoughts and welcome.
Its a comforting space for me and I am sure it will be for you.
Have fun in Alabama and looking forward hearing what you have to say
