  No one who leaves "the truth" is ever happy?

  for years, i was told this..... " anyone who leaves the org is bitter, sad, and worse off, why do you think they come back???

  guess what guys i am the opposite, now i quit cold-turkey (looking back, i should have faded correctly) i am planning on going to the memorial this month just to hear all "the friends" tell me how much they missed me.

  since i have left the meetings, (jan. was my last meeting, i think).

  OMG...I missed the whole SPARLOCK craze....

  i hadn't been on the board to visit much last year, so i have been going back and poking around through the older threads since i started to post here.

  i was on jwfacts.com, and noticed paul had posted a brief article about the jw video and the evil sparlock the warrior wizard.

  we have no children, and i never got those videos anyway (even when i was still an elder), so when i went back and read all of the old threads, i was crying laughing.

  Thank you. I've read several stories on here of how everyone who dares to have a critical or independent thought is crucified by family & friends.

  I knew this would happen. Jesus even told his followers that they would be persecuted & HATED because of His name. Gojira & I have been grieving and upset because it appears that we have lost my Mom. We thought she was seeing TTATT and was even agreeing with me and calling and telling me things that were being said at the meetings she didn't agree with. But sadly, she let my sister dictate to her that we were to have no further contact.

  Love & peace to all and we're glad to be here! And away from the that mind control cult!

  My husband has quit 'lurking' over my shoulder when I post here and he just signed up as a new member, he will be using the name Brother of the Hawk.

  But I want to tell all of you how much our family has appreciated all of you, for your kind words & support. I know most of you have been dealing with family & friends issues yourself. But I think together, we can all survive this horrible cult.

  I am also trying to convince a dear friend of ours, to quit being a 'lurker' and sign up and be a member because he has alot to add. He is the one that brought up TTATT to us last year and has been thru hell the past 2.5 years himself.

  The Gestapo is after us in a 'witch-hunt' frenzy but we just keep ignoring their messages and phone calls. But now with G'ma offended that my Hubby told her Jehovah is not God's true name she is calling all our friends and family and telling them we have gone apostate.

  They are 'unfriending' me on Facebook and scattering so fast it's like watching cockroaches when you turn the light on.

  good morning jwn-land.. since my parents and my husband and i have learned ttatt we have been keeping quiet, mostly.

  we have held off on revealing our true names, my dad has held off joining jwn and telling his story because we have been waiting for one special event.

  my dad talking to his mother about ttatt.

  Update: So G'ma was so offended by Hubby saying that Jehovah was not God's real name that she is now calling EVERYONE telling them we have gone apostate. ALL of our family, even tho my daughter and her hubby have said NOTHING to anyone.

  Every single JW we've known for the past 40+ years is shunning us and has unfriended us on Facebook and not ONE single person has contacted us to find out if uit's true or not.

  Gojira got a couple of NASTY emails from our cousins back East that were full of judgement and critisism, telling her that they were offended lately because they have 'liked' some questionable items on Facebook like the 'DUI sobriety test w/ dancing drunk' [I think it was a 'mock' cop stop but that was hilarious by the way] then her hubby used the word 'Hell' in one of his posts.

  Really????

  They're going to condemn my kids for that? I'll give 'em something bigger and much better to condemn!!!!

  This is way too funny! You are all hilarious. I love you guys!

  Ok, so thanks to my daughter and all her cookie talk. I was at Walmart this morning...

  No Girl Scouts around so I had to go inside and buy Keebler's & Walmart brand instead. Saw these and had to buy them!

  OMG! It's bad enough that the Keebler Elves use MAGIC to make them and tempt you with yummy Dark chocolate fudge stripes, but now the little DEMONS are asking us to donate blood. LMAO

  butJWS: You're right, the GV brand is just as good as the Keebler Grasshoppers.

  Why doesn't the WT ever see it's self as "Wicked"?

  by Deputy Dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in luke 11:13 jesus refers to his beloved deciples as wicked.

  the wt (and most jws) see themselves as faithful and discreet.

  they are teaching people to be self-righteous arent they?.

  Because it's just like Jesus said, they try to remove the straw in everyone else's eyes, but do not see the 'rafter' in their own!

  I was telling my Cousin & her Elder husband about the 'Save Sparlock' website and they actually asked me

  "Who is Sparlock?"

  Are you kidding me?

  Did you see the new kid DVD from the past Summer DC?

  "Own it, saw it, still don't remember Sparlock."

  All I can say is WOW! JWDubs are really aware of what is going on around them, aren't they?
