The verdict is in…
Not guilty based on the fact that you were never broken.
if after you die you find yourself in front a god ready to judge you.
what will you say in your defense for not believing?

personally the jws to me are not dangerous.
on the other hand, many do think they are in fact a dangerous cult.
why are they dangerous?.

When we push our ego to the side, that is when we can start to learn and accept the truth no matter where it leads. From the surface the JW's look like an innocent group that just wants to serve God but underneath the surface, lies gruesome pain and anguish.

JWs are the gun. The Watchtower pulls the trigger.
Thus the old JW leader saying, 'if the society says to jump, we must ask how high?'
after reading coc and isocf i cried, i was in shock, disillusioned, angry, and afraid... anyone wants to share their experience?.
i would like to see what you think about these questions when compared with your account.. why people from different backgrounds feel similar reactions?
(cannot be a conpiracy).
Bump if any newbie would like to add their comments
updated versions of the following publications are available on jw.

good news from god - october 2013 printing.
WT is like a Windows operating system, lol
it's been a while since i've posted anything about myself.
i've been on jwn for a couple of years.
my leaving the organization was not because i lost my faith, but i left because of my faith.
You said: I'll admit it, I do like to think there is an afterlife. It’s a beautiful thought. I like to think my grandfather is there and happy to see I freed his family lineage from the chains that once shackled us for over a hundred years. Maybe it’s just a dream –just a vestige of all that inculcation years ago. But it makes me smile. If there is a loving God, he will bring us all home one day. If there’s not, well, I guess I’ll still join him and countless others in the eternal slumber that awaits us all.
That was beautifully said. Thanks you for sharing
i have come to the conclusion that posting here and visiting this site is not healthy for me anymore.
i just get angry and upset when i read all the stories of injustice and corruption that go on in the jehovahs witness religion.
they are true no doubt, as i have personally experienced many injustices and abuses in my life from being a witness.
Wishing you nothing but the best and a happy life cheers!

Wow Giordano, it so strange for me to think how you have been out for so long and yet nothing ever happened.
Giordano Said:
When you refuse to protect your loved ones because a leader says so you diminish yourself and destroy your family and are no longer worthy of respect. In plain terms this is the only life we have..........no one should throw it away over a false teaching made up by ambitous people.
When a father tries to save the life of his young child by using blood, you are labeled as the monster They just don't look in a mirror.
once the spell is broken, one you take a deep fresh breath outisde of the watchtower camp, the amazingly obvious realisation becomes clear.... of course this is a lie, of course this is ridiculous!
you find you have memories of really believing the claims and promises, but it seems like another life, another experience.
it seems so incredibly false once you leave and it is very difficult to belive you even once accepted it!
Great post and comments.
We have all been fooled but it is nice to be awake.

frazzled UBM
It breaks my heart to hear this
This cult is dangerous and I have no more doubts.
i am sure we have all seen the recent letter to the boe concerning the change that will take place to the meeting arrangement during the week of the co visit.
to recap the basics: the meeting that usually contains the cong bible study (book study) and a co talk will be discontinued, publishers are encouraged to use their family worship night that week to cover book study material.. so here is a point that i think has been missed, or not even considered:.
if that particular meeting is hereby deleted from the schedule, the co and his wife will never ever have to participate in or go to another "book study", or "bible study" night again.
The CO will have less time to know the people but it has always been like that unless you attend a smal cong
