hello, i am a new member.

i grew up in the jw religion; however i am not an active jw.

have been visiting this site for about 3 yrs, and have become quite attached to it.

Welcome! Thanks for sharing your excellently written life story. I'm sorry for all the injustice you had to endure. I hope now the sun shines on you and the wind is at your back! Forget the things behind and look forward to the things ahead!

Had you thought of feeling sorry for the G.B?

i only bring this to the board, because a friend of mine once said he felt sorry for the footballers who made so much money.

that comment stayed with me, and over the years,the more i thought about that comment the more i agreed with him.. i admit the g.b destroy people's life's and are the sublimation of all that's good in people's life.

there only excuse is a fantazy asylum they claim to believe in.

If pity is what helps you to move on then more power to you. Just be careful that pity doesn't turn into empathy and even sympathy for them having to sleep in the bed that they have happily made.

Feel sorry for them?? They've destroyed people's lives through there fundamentalist interpretations of an ancient collection of scrolls. They've dashed peoples hopes and ambitions. They've gotten fat off the labor of the poor. Feel sorry for their fat asses? When hell freezes over... or maybe when $$Wall$$Kill$$ assets freeze over. Nope not even then, either.

What death teaches!

by iconoclastic in

death teaches that nothing belongs to us.

no other teachings have been conveyed so clearly, powerfully, and globally.

yet this is the one that is not taken seriously by people in general.

So far I've heard all positive things from you. Surely there are some negative, dubious aspects to BK - otherwise there would be 8 billion members! There are two sides to every coin. How about revealing the other side as well?

It's not surprising in the least that other religious organizations of similar ilk to the JW's would come on to an exJW site to subtly recruit. Sharks smell blood and know there are wounded ones on here. I'm sure you mean well Icono, but i wouldn't touch that religious group - even with a twelve foot pole.

I'm a coward.

since the move, it has been so enjoyable to not have jw's breathing down our necks asking why we didn't make the meeting, or having to pretend to be "spiritual" in front of family all the time.. 90% of my week is virtually stress free.

then, my mom calls or texts wanting to talk to her grandkids.

every dang call, she asks about the new congregation, if we went to the meeting, etc.. why can't i tell her to fk off?

I can only deal with my mother in doses. She loves to try and guilt trip me every chance she gets. Don't cut her off. Just deal with her only when important family matters are involved and unavoidable. Also be careful that she isn't brainwashing your kids.

BK means Brahma Kumari - a dangerous mind controlling cult. The more i researched up on it, the more I loath it.

Mass disassociation pact...

by freemindfade in

any takers?

we can pick a date and pull the plug?

lol .

I suspect that if i DA'd the move would backfire on me with my wife. Right now she's fully awake, but fully expecting that I continue to get along and keep the peace with her JW family members.

The anonymous DA letter sounds great!
