Thanks for sharing this. I actually relate to that. During the time when I decided to give the Jehovah crap a try and became depressed, the movies were what helped me cope. Back then I went to the movies A LOT. And that was exactly it, lost in the movies I could feel free to feel anything I wasn't supposed to.

Why I like movies ...
by LoveUniHateExams ini think i've sussed out why i'm getting so into movies.. they make me feel emotions.
i think i'm a bit of a cold fish - i find it hard to properly feel emotions.
i'm not sure if i was born that way or if it's a result of my experience with the wts.

Thanks for sharing. I don't see the point of doing that, though. I personally don't support that kind of event. There are many more effective ways of using the time, energy and resources that can help JWs and ex-JWs.
Not to mention that it's a violation to free speech, freedom of religion, free assembly and disrupting the peace.

Obviously you're not familiar with this forum either. Many people here WERE JWs and are in various degrees of DETACHMENT from that organization.
However, we do have a section where people discuss the Bible and doctrine. There might be people interested in what you have to say. In my experience in this forum, there are people who can't care less about the topic, and others that are seeking comfort, support and other things that have nothing to do with discussing doctrine.
Feel free to explore the forum. That will give you a better feel of what it is about.

A woman without a voice
by SunnyOne026 inthis is my story in a nut-shell.
i hope some of you can relate.
if you can..i would love to hear from you.. i have been crushed and heartbroken more times than i can recount by a religion that claims to be based totally on love and mercy and most of that harm has come from the so called "shepherds" who or are supposed to lovingly take the stray lambs in their arms and lead them gently back to safety.

Thank you for sharing your story. Yes, I think that your stories have quite a few elements that many of us relate to in one way or another.
Once again, thank you.

I had a link to a website from Canada that features documentaries on pretty much every subject. I'm sure you will find some that you may like. However, I can't find the link. I'll send it to you as soon as I find it (I really need to organize my bookmarks).

They never say to give up anything. They are stupid in that respect.

Episode Three - Emily is shunned by Jehovah's Witnesses - Is now live!
by dubstepped inthere are many ways to be shunned as one of jehovah’s witnesses.
emily’s story highlights a path that many take, a path of personal growth with stumbles along the way that result in ostracism, a path that deviates from the prescribed path of a cult that requires everyone to walk the same or face the consequences.
this story shines a light on the spectrum of the jw experience.. you can subscribe on itunes (apple podcasts), google play, or wherever you get your podcasts.. you can also stream directly from my website, and leave comments of support for emily and see what song she picked as one that signified her journey at:.

As much as JWs claim not to be part of the world, they are. There's no difference between them and the rest of the world. They claim that they don't do anything wordly, but the reality is that in that organization you find the same thing that you find outside, good people and bad people.
That means that every time you want to find out "What do Jehovahs Witnesses do about..." whatever, please keep that in mind. They are pretend set apart from the world, but they aren't. The answer is always the same that the rest of the world does.

Living with non belivers
by Blade666 inmy question is can you as a jw live on same premises as a non jw.... in split house/property with no sexual relations or anything involved... i am being forced to move due to a "sister" wanting to go back to her god and has made the point of saying she cannot have a male around.
even though the property itself is split with seperate access for both parts of the house.. she has put a blanket rule out saying the whole property itself... doesnt make sense to me nor to any of the elders i have spoken to regarding the matter.. yes i called them as i know next to nothing about the faith.. .
i find it strange that two elders urge a non jw to seek justice from fair trading and rental tribunal as they themselves do not belive the actions of the "sister" in question or her family to be correct or right... .

First, that sister is full of shit. There's no JW anything that forces her to not have a male roommate. Second, she's full of shit again because she's using the JW crap as an excuse to be a perfect bitch. If at all, she's the one that should leave, not you. She's changing the terms of the living arrangement, not you, so she's the one that should leave.
Sue her ass. That's sex discrimination.
