Stop going to meetings. Seek out friends who love you for you and not for what you believe in. change towns or communities if possible. It will helpyou recover faster. Leaving jws might turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to you.

Actually my witness brother, called me to tell me the Russian meteorite shower is a sign of the last days. He is university educated. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I wonder if I was ever that ignorant as a dub.

"Why Do Many Male Jehovah Witnesses Who Learn TTATT Grow Beards"?
by ÁrbolesdeArabia inthe year once 1983 and the brother who use to study the bible with me drove by and had a full on "charles manson" looking facial hair and beard.
i asked tina, a friend what's up with him?
tina was 19 and a hot red-head woman who was partially in the religion but had problems with fornication.

A beard brings out the hood in your manhood. Makes you macho, not the effeminate types so common with the witnesses.

Pro-JW website SLAMS apostates
by yadda yadda 2 inat the site, click on the pictures to read lengthy diatribes against apostates lol.. apostasy "seeing oneself as a victim denied" .
as a result of seeing oneself as a victim denied, there can occur a powerful drive toward disaffection and apostasy.
as is almost inevitably the case, there is a great need on the part of a leave-taker to validate their oppositional stance, and the victim-victimizer scenario greatly assists a person in justifying their course of action.

Why do you give yourselves / allow others to give you labels? I am not an apostate. I simply think the whole lot of jw doctrine is rubbish. Isn't freedom of thought and speech a fundamental human right. The term apostate certainly doesn't apply to me and hopefully you all will stop seeing yourselves as apostate.

I haven't seen this persecution on JW.org
by Newly Enlightened inhttp://www.forum18.org/archive.php?article_id=1792.
this makes me so mad because they're appealing to this forum18/osce [u.n.] to get their religious freedom, but look what they do to their own people.. i just got an e-mail from a friend [current jw] he said they're 'softening to a kinder gentler wtbt$' really????
obviously they haven't told the all the other jw's because we're still being shunned and called nasty mentally diseased apostates.

Thnx Newly Enlightened correct the link. Their teachings are not based on the Bible but on society's publications and the obey the governing body not christ.

First Recorded "Conscious Class" Talk in the Kingdom Hall
by raymond frantz inthe governing body is not all powerful and all present ,we are not totally powerless .use your talks to promote christian freedom and tear down their propaganda .use material from publications that promote christian freedom and scriptures that they willingly avoid .use your talks to awake your brothers .
the following talk uses non of the usual watchtower propaganda and uses scriptures the governing body chooses to avoid .. whether you are an elder ,a ministerial servant ,or just a publisher use your items and your talks at the meeting to awake your brothers and sisters .this talk was given few days ago at the thursday meeting ,based on proverbs 3:5.sorry for the accent ,english is not my mother language.. talk at the kingdom hall.

Great talk. In my former congregation there are elders who would pull you aside for "a little chat" after the meeting. More courage to you.

Neanderthal and Adam and Eve
by Aussie Oz inwas actually looking into this and so did a search to see what was already talked about, found the below quote on another thread after finding it on the cd for myself...stunning to me as i still thought of neanderthal man as a hairy monkey man or a complete fabrication, and here is what appears to be a twist from the wt that i never realized all my years in.. what i found most interesting was the bolded section (by me).
