  Ex JW Support Group - any suggestions?

  by Beck_Melbourne in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just thought i'd put this to the multitude and invite your suggestions or some feedback, as i am thinking about forming a support group for ex jw people in my area.

  my motive is based on my own experience when exiting the borg...and how isolated and lonely i felt when i left.

  i was lucky enough to have one family member who had left the borg a few years before me.

  Raymond Franz's Betrayal

  by IslandWoman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  thanks for calling this to my attention.

  my reason for not wanting book material to be run on certain web sites is purely because of finding their approach out of harmony with my own principles and standards, so many are engaged in watch tower trashing and extremely negative.

  some sites present material that promotes agnosticism and distrust of the scriptures, even atheism (one such site being in scandanavia).

  The spring analogy

  by taoInitiate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think most witnesses (and ex-wits) will have heard of the "spring analogy" often used by witnesses in "youth talks".. it states that a young person who is "let on the loose" too quickly by his/her parents can be like a spring which is held tightly between the fingers and then suddenly released.

  both can fly off in any random direction.. i was just thinking this could probably be applied to those leaving any sort of constraining, or limiting, situation.

  (think cults, etc.).
