  I miss my family so much. I thought I was over it but I have breakdowns every few months thinking about my family

  by macys in

  2. experiences

  as most of you know i have been shunned by my family for 2 years because of a photo posted on facebook of me kissing another girl at a party.

  the matter was not dealt with fairly but it is over now and i am 100% certain that jdub org is a cult.

  but i miss my family so much.

  Sarah, we feel your pain. Being involved in the cult with a hundred faux-friends all the time and then finding yourself basically alone is a huge leap. Older adults who do it are lonely too, and miss their still-in family members like crazy.

  I certainly understand your reasoning for wanting the shunning to stop. But as Cappytan says, what guarantee do you have that they won't shun you again if/when you become inactive? Please consider this carefully. Right now your emotions have a tight grip on your thinking, but remember that jdubs prey on your emotions so you may have a really tough time ever leaving again. What will that do to your head now that you know TTATT?
  

  You mentioned in your OP that your family was really close before you became jdubs, but how were things once everyone was Culticized?

  I Hate the Sound of the Word Jehovah

  by cofty in

  listening to clips of the latest manipulative video from the watchtower i realised how much i detest that word - jehovah.. sometimes i have thought it would be interesting to observe a meeting or part of a convention.

  every time i heard that word i would be unable to stay in my seat.. i have a visceral reaction every time i hear it.

  it stands for so much that i have contempt for.

  @DataDog - On the other hand, I love Jeehoober, Jay-hoobar, Jeehobo, Jeehoobidoob and Jeehoover!

  And let's not forget one of our Hispanic friend's fave: Jahlapeno!

  red flag to a bull those carts can't resist !

  went to a market yesterday and there it was a cart manned by a middle-aged women and a young one.

  in a really respectful, friendly manner i approached them and enquired if watchtower society had done anything about its "two witness policy" post royal commission.

  knew nothing of 2 witness rule.

  Yes, from what I understand the petitions don't require only US citizens but the age requirement is at least 13 years old, I believe.

  Saw this posted to exjw on Reddit but didn't locate it here in a few different searches. Barbara Anderson is also promoting this on her site watchtowerdocuments.org .

  It appears the petition only has two more weeks to remain posted and is in need of 99k+ additional signatures.

  Hilarious Whatsapp message received - FIRST day after Big D

  a hilarious stupid wa message is being circulated amongst jws in my area / country.. i had a hearty laugh at the ignorance and stupidity and brainwashed mentality, different people may express different emotions so you have been warned.

  day one after armageddon it seems ages since we last heard the gunshots and screams, today has been really quiet.

  the last few weeks have been sheer terror.

  Someone said that we all used to feel this way, but that's not true. Thinking about capital p paradise always raised more questions than answers, and none of it looked promising. I remember one day out "preaching" aka driving around, when someone started estimating the jdub population compared to the existing total population of our county. The thought that all these people would be gone and you would be stuck with just the freaky ones in the borg was frightening.

  Maybe he lost his family to the JW Cult. Very sad situation, whatever the reason. The dubbies will use this as "see how we are persecuted" and "see how evil the world has become" preludes to their cry of "Armageddon---SOON!!!"

  Watched most of this. The jdub lawyer certainly did not seem as professional as McFarland's lawyer, who came across as having good knowledge of the borg and also the shenanigans that the dubs would try to pull in hiding documents relevant to this case.
