  My parents haven't been to a meeting for a year now....

  now don't get me wrong, they still consider themselves jw's.

  but they seem to be plagued with ill health... especially on meeting days?

  they are very depressed about it of course and moan about how much they would like to be at the hall.

  Just my opinion...

  Yes, it can be their subconscious mind. The subconscious mind does amazing things when you don't listen to what it wants. Their subconscious knows it's not the truth and is fighting against the mind-control that's manipulating the mind... but JW's keep themselves in denial within the mind by telling their subconscious to shut-up, it's the truth. So the subconscious eventually over-rides this battle that's causing the mind harm by causing mystery illnesses to stop you from doing what's harming you, physically. The subconscious is what the GB labels as ''satan attacking you'' and tells you to ignore it by doing more. Bastards! Is it any wonder the dubs are popping pills to cope!

  This happened to me years ago at work - the on-site doctor knew straight away what was going on. I had no clue. My subconscious took my voice away, everyday at worktime so that I couldn't physically do my job which was dealing with clients problems on the phone. No voice, no taking on problems. Now lets deal with why your subconscious is stopping you from doing your job she said. Tell me about your past she said. Flood gates opened, nervous break-down ensued. I was shocked.

  This is what happens when we don't listen to what our body/gut instinct/subconscious mind, is telling us is right and wrong for us.

  Only people researching outside of the org. come here. What about the ones who go by the teachings to not do so? They would never hear about the child sex abuse scandal, the property scandal, the wrong teaching about not partaking etc. If there ever was a time for agressive activism to be worthwhile, it's NOW! Strike while the iron is hot! It's a chance that needs taking while independent news outlets are hot on the collar of the org. They need attacking from all angles. Don't get me wrong, I am not a fan of one on one agressive activism but en masse is something entirely different.

  At the same time, you can't unhear something. It's another seed which might grow in the future! There's always going to be the ones who stick to the cult mode of blocking out anything that isn't from the GB. My mother is one. She told me flat out, even if she believed it was all a load of crap she would still believe it, LOL! On the other hand there are plenty who are having doubts. It's another topic of research for them to consider and it happens to be the holy of holies for them - refusing the body of Christ! If any topic is worth pushing on them it's this one.

  congregations are full of older ones who were led to expect the end when they were still young enough to work ,and stay forever young.

  now these ones face a sparse old age with little provision set aside.

  Is this a site controlled by atheists?

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  under the exterior of being an ex- witness site, is this site simply converting atheism?.

  i pose the question, because many come here in distress and insecurity with the realization that the w.t is wrong but still retain a belief in god.

  my personal opinion is the threads on god are not challenged by an atheists personal animosity to believers, they are challenged and become confrontational because the atheist wants an elaboration and factual proof to a believers faith.. is this unreasonable?

  Well, I'm not atheist and I'm wondering whether to even respond or not. So what does that tell you?

  Need confirmation: WT bought an entire mountain in China to mine the granite needed for new WT HQ

  by WingCommander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  someone asked for a second source on this, so i'm putting this out there to those who may have visited the new wt hq lately and know it to be true.

  i had read from others on the ex-jw subreddit that had taken a tour recently at wt hq, that they had been shown photos of a mountain in china, and told that this is where all of the granite is being mined from and shipped over to new york to use at the site of the new wt hq.

  apparently, it was cheaper for them to do this and have the local brothers in china mine it, then having to by tons upon tons of granite here in the usa, even wholesale.

  Is there any information on how much they say Wallkill's costing? Anybody seen it being discussed anywhere or rumours? Let's just say I'll know for sure if they're lying.

  Regards granite from China, it's not as expensive as you might think when you buy in bulk and China sells it mega cheap. Even granite producing countries are importing it because it's not the granite that's expensive, it's getting it out and cutting it that is. Wallkill isn't even the size of a mountain so I think that squashes that idea and 150 tonnes of Granite isn't that much. Be interesting to see the total amount. However, it would be right up their street to spin this bullshit by saying they bought a mountain because it was cheaper, just so they could buy a mountain and then sell granite for profit (on the sly?). The accounts will be an interesting read. This is one to keep tabs on!

  Never Allowed to be Myself

  by NeverAllowestobeMyself in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so my handle has a typo, it is supposed to be never allowed to be myself but i'm okay with that because it is kind of symbolic of my situation.

  as a born-in i have always had expectations forced on me, this is what you are to think, feel and do as a jehovah's witness.

  my earliest memories involve being upset that i would die at armageddon because i was bad.

  They did so much damage to us. More than they'll ever know or admit to. The problem you describe has been a big one for me. I'm still trying to get over the fear of being myself after nearly 20 years of being out. That's the problem with brainwashing from babies:(

  Welcome!.. and I love the irony of your handle! It's really fab!

  I wish you well on your journey!
