  How successful are others at getting ex-dubs together?

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for my first shunniversary i reached out to the local ex-dubs that i know.

  i invited 11 total to join me in a little get together at a local restaurant, then back to my house to hang out.

  one friend asked if he could invite others, and i encouraged him, and all, to do so.

  Once you have exhausted the ex dub stories and the usual "do you know bro or sister such and such", you'll realise that you don't actually have that much in common.

  Better to seek out old friends from pre dub years maybe? Or make new ones. At least they will help you forget about the cult.

  Isn't that the goal? To forget all about the cult years?

  "I'm so over just doing what most scientist do"... what? You're actually fed up of scientists trying to find the answer to life's biggest questions? Really?

  So you get lazy and fall into the "god of the gaps" trap.

  Intellectually dishonest and lazy.

  What The Org Teaches: #2 THE GREAT TRIBULATION

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  every single bible student/jehovah's witness who has ever lived, has been indoctrinated to believe that a catastrophic great tribulation would very soon engulf the entire earth, causing untold death & destruction.

  this spurious teaching is drummed into every j.w.

  's head and used by them as a major recruitment tool.

  Thanks for posting this, I was just reading it on my phone!

  My mum is going to the CONvention tomorrow in Newcastle. She hasnt phoned or texted anything to me in about a month now, not that she does that a lot anyway....

  I was thinking about sending her a heads up text about the program, but chicken out when I come to type!

  I feel i should say something to her, but dont know what. What can you say to a deluded victim?

  Actually, I quite like that idea of introducing yourself as a `watchtower historian`. They wont know what to do, run or be intrigued!

  Its got to be better than saying ex - jw, or mentally diseased apostate...

  two years ago i had a kundalini experience.

  i felt energy or chi pulsate through each of my chakras, from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, then back, after that i felt like a newborn for three days.

  i felt like i was reborn spiritually and god gave me a new name - indi.
