  Don't beat yourself up with guilt that has been laid on you by the witnesses.I too lived in fear of commiting the one thing that they said was unforgiveble. As the years went by i came to the point where i believe there is no god at least not the one the wt would have us fear.Live your life and don't worry what a group of men whom i wouldn't trust to screw in a light bulb have to say about things that are unforgivable

  by WasOnceBlind in

  2. experiences

  if you had to pinpoint the time or experience that finally made you open your eyes, what would it be?.

  i think for me it was the time i saw my dad shun his brother who he had not seen in decades just because he was a da'ed jw.

  i thought to my self "no way jesus would do that.

  For me i would say it was my jc.Being asked such personal questions as a 17 year old kid "Did your penis enter her vagina"?. "Was there oral sex"? "Did it bring you pleasure"? All the time my dad was in the room hearing this and crying ,at that point i was done these perverted old men would never get me in that position again.I was being used to get at my father who was a p.o at the time.I saw the power struggle that was going on in the cong.and i wanted no parts of it so yeah after seeing these brothers with there warts and all i was through.

  I was always told by my father an elder that as long as i didnt tell or proclaim that i was a witness it was really nothing they could do to me.

  it's somewhat complicated in your problem since you have a jw mate.

  the only solution i see is that if he doesnt see the light and wake up there is a real chance for you being dfed (or discoed) is what we called it in the 70s around here.

  Is to leave him or get divorced his loyalty is to the org never forget that.Do you want to be with someone who has you at number 2 and a crazy cult as number 1?

  Something to think about i hope he sees the light

  i was a born in that was put out of the house before the age of 18.you are 15 try to go along with your parents until the age of 18.

  Make sure you get a skill or well paying job soon that can support you until you make your break,you don't want them to force you out before you are ready,it will take you years to get it together and please don't be in a rush to leave because you like some girl or boy you've got plenty of time to explore your sexuality once you leave your parent's house.

  Until then play along with them,and remember you aren't the first one that had to endure the crazy jw religion for a short while.

  A question for my friends in the USA about cowboys.

  by punkofnice in

  1. social
  2. current

  as a kid growing up in the uk we used to play 'cowboys and indians' and watch high chaparal and bonanza along with other cowboy films.

  later, in the 70's kung fu would be shown with caine going through the 'old west'.

  we even had a chocolate bar that was marketed with a 'cowboy' theme...milky bar.. as far as i know the 'wild west' as shown on tvdidn't actually exist.. are there people that believe it did?.

  hey punk i recommend you take a trip to arizona,california,and other wild west frontiers.a lot of the hollywood stuff isnt accurate but there were outlaws and lawmen in the old west that may be somewhat accurate.

  i remember time life books had a wild west series a few years ago that showed in detail the outlaws,and lawmen of the day and of course the famous indians.

  in the blog http://debunkingchristianity.blogspot.com bloggers john shore, john loftus, and robert price are watching the dismantling of christinaity over the lgbt question in the us.

  see the 10/17/2014 post.. coupled with the scandals of the megachurches lately many christians are asking questions for the first time on how things have gotten this way and where is the holy spirit to protect the church and people.. .

  i think they are leaving because the church is watering down the bible in order to appeal to many lifestyles that the bible doesnt support.Hardcore christians are getting sick of an ever changing message plus living in the time period we live in science has rendered the bible just about moot.Say what you want about muslims they stand by there religious convictions they dont try to be all pc like christians.

  i use to get those a lot when i was a kid an active jw. Once i came home an fell alsleep on the couch and just dozing off a fake tree when had in the living room a face appeared in it when i saw it i was shocked tried to get up an i saw a translucent blob dart to me an i couldnt move speak,my father was upstairs an i tried calling his name this is before i tried saying jehovah's name

  anyway the blob released me an it made a hissing noise as it darted around the corner of the livingroom scared the living shat out of me.

  The next time i remember it was hot in mid summer i fell alsleep on my bed with the window fan blowing an i had a feeling something was in the room i tried to get up an couldn't the bed in my mind starting shaking and what ever i was dreaming about darted into the fan also scaring the me half to death.

  Once i left the jw religion,i met my wife we moved into an arpartment complex and i swear every night i experienced a sleep paralysis episode unless i drunk heavily before going to bed i almost lost my mind insanity runs strong in my family.

  It was only by coming here and finding out what it was that it stopped because i truly was still brain washed that it was a demonic attack
