  Nobody else understands

  if you once were fully pimi and truly believed jw doctrine to the core like i once did, when you come to the reality that it is not the truth at all it can be extremely devastating.. i think only other ex jws could ever understand.

  i wasted my entire life i thought the real life was yet to come to wasted the best years knocking on doors.

  now i’m so angry.. i can understand why so many top themselves when they realise it was all lies..

  No Reporting of Time, Tithing is OK, Now WT Teaches a "Rapture" - What's Next?

  by Sea Breeze in

  those who will be taken to heaven will first need to be “changed, in a moment, in the blink of an eye, during the last trumpet.” therefore, while we do not use the term “rapture” here because of its wrong connotation, the remaining faithful anointed will be gathered together in an instant of time.

  - the watchtower—study edition | july 2015. ok so they refuse to use the word "rapture".

  kinda like they refuse to use the word church and clergy (except when it suits their purposes in court cases).

  The ''dreaded'' birthday cake

  2. bible

  the watchtower—study edition | september 2023. study article 39. let mildness be your strength.

  11 if a workmate asks, for example, why we do not celebrate birthdays, consider: could he be wondering whether we are allowed to have a good time?

  or might he feel that our position will dampen the company’s team spirit?

  The problem with a joyless childhood is why two thirds leave as adults, I am one of them.

  here i will quote a post written by "littleone" on another forum:.

  when that original congregation apostasized, it formed the roman catholic church.

  Completely agree with FFGhost. In addition, any kids who want to leave the organization when they reach young adulthood, they prefer them to be condemned to lesser education, so it is more difficult to make a decent living. Then they can point a finger and say, “This is what happens when you leave Jehovah.”

  I was barely 4 years old, my mom was sobbing, and saying, over and over, “he loved Jehovah’s Witnesses, he loved Jehovah’s Witnesses.” I became so scared, because I thought we were all going to be tossed into jail or something. (I was only 4). I thought this president was the only thing keeping us from persecution. I became scared, too.
