I wish I'd done my research all these years but they make you scared to in a way. My ex was shocked in November when I said I'd done research on 607bce on the internet coz apparently historians all lie and the wts doesn't so should stick to what they say about it coz it's "The truth".... what a load of ****.

18Why are the GB and JWs scared of "apostates" and "research"? Romans 8: 35-39
by stuckinarut2 ini was just pondering this passage of scripture:.
romans 8:35-39 (new world translation).
35 who will separate us from the love of the christ?+ will tribulation or distress or persecution or hunger or nakedness or danger or sword?+ 36 just as it is written: “for your sake we are being put to death all day long; we have been accounted as sheep for slaughtering.”+ 37 on the contrary, in all these things we are coming off completely victorious+ through the one who loved us.

I know I could meet people at a local church quite quickly but I don't want to leave one religious organisation and be part of another one. I'm still traumatised off this one

I'm not scared of going back into "The world" or leaving the religion would be a better way of putting it since its them against the world. I'll have my freedom back. As soon as I've made some non jw friends I'm disassociating anyway. I only know jws where I've just moved to and don't live near my family so I need to make new friends before I can leave the religion.

Someone asked me what does the world have to offer if left the truth? 'coz I'm still in the process of leaving I just said I don't feel I fit in the truth or the world. She's known me for 12 years and she's the 3rd person recently to say I've changed. Why is it hard mentally to just leave?? I seriously need to make some non jw friends now that I've moved house so I don't find it so hard to leave coz the prospect of having no friends For a while if I leave jws is depressing lol. I don't know any non jws where i live yet so i have some work to do. What would you answer if someone said what does the world have to offer??

Apparently Jehovah`s Witnesses have no scruples about " LYING" to their GOD Jehovah
by smiddy3 ini thought it was bad enough that jw`s put in weekly reports of fs hours every month in the d2d work when in fact the average publisher would never mention this "good news of the kingdom" to the householder .. more often than not it would be something like some mundane thing about what they have observed about the householders property whether they have kids ,what a lovely garden they have before being cut off by the householder with i`m not interested knowing jw`s are trying to convert them/sell them the watchtower and closing the door.. yet the jw goes away happily putting in a report telling jehovah they have spent so much time in the fs witnessing about him and the kingdom of christ jesus...... cart witnessing is even a worse lie ,why ?
because jw`s make no attempt to witness to anybody they expect people to come to them to be witnessed to which of course never happens .
they spend hours upon hours a month telling jehovah by their fs reports they hand in how much they have witnessed for him ,when in fact they have done nothing of the sort .. they chit chat among themselves witnessing to nobody for hours on end and then lie in their fs report they have been witnessing for jehovah ?.

Smiddy3 I completely agree with you its just what has been said at meetings in recent years to make sure people are happy and smiling and looking like they're enjoying themselves when on the doors coz we're givng a witness the whole time we're out

Jw carts
by Jrjw ini was just thinking it would be funny if apostates set up jwfacts carts and placed them in areas where the jws do their metropolitan witnessing to unwitness to people the witnesses have spoken to.
it would probably get the jws backs up like or it would stop the cart witnessing altogether.

Jrjw
Jws that I know who do the carts always rave on about all the people that have gone and spoken to them and the literature they've placed. They think cart witnessing is doing really well

That's because even if you don't get to speak to anyone when you're out you have been seen by people (especially the ones purposely ignoring the door) and people know you're a witness and that in itself is classed as a witness especially if you're well dressed and groomed and are smiling coz you're In the "happy religion". It seems being seen to be happy and smiling counts more than actually having a bible discussion with someone.

New to the truth
by MatthewHewey ini have been meeting with member's of the kingdom hall, and i have attended a few times now on sundays.
i'd like to discuss experiences with this group since i'm new.
so far, i love it.

Matthew please please do your research on their history And teachings online, don't just use the books they give you coz they have missed a lot out to hide their terrible history. Like you I Thought it was the best thing I'd ever found and I lost my pre-jw friends and couldn't spend time with my family much eventually coz they were classed as bad association. They do love bomb you at first and over time and especially after you're baptised it all changes, especially if you don't conform to everything they say. We all on here have experienced it first hand. They warn you about talking to ex witnesses because they know the 'Truth about the truth' and the witnesses want to ensnare you into the religion or 'cult'. Please please do your research, especially on jwfacts.com. if it's friends you're after then you won't find genuine ones in the kingdom hall, I've found out recently after splitting from my abusive jw husband that jw's are conditional friends and its been painful learning that first hand. Steve hassan is a good person to look up on youtube coz he teaches you about how cults work and then you can compare this to what is happening at kingdom hall and with what you're learning. Please be very careful coz you don't know what you're in for at the moment and lots of research is needed, don't just believe what jws tell you coz I did without questioning it coz it seemed too good to be true... and it was!

The hypocrisy of today's Watchtower
by UnshackleTheChains ini don't really need to explain anything really.
all i can say is that i was gob smacked at the sheer audaciousness of the entire study article.
i'm still speechless.

Unshacklethechains - I still feel disgusted when I think about the questions they asked me and how they questioned me to get every minute detail about things. They must have got a kick out of it somehow. I was only 24 at the time so it was highly embarrassing talking about certain things with 3 men In their 60s
