  The Special Talk this year. I already had learned TTATT and didn't want to go to the Memorial, but took my teenager in case her grandparents asked. Taster actually listening to the talk, I realized I couldn't do it anymore.

  I'm Perfect, You're Doomed - a review

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "i'm perfect, you're doomed" by kyria abrahams, 2009, touchstone.. if you want a way to get people out of that horrible cult, easily, quickly and expeditiously, then here is how to do that.. i can say with a vote of confidence that anyone who reads this book will never and i mean never become a dub.

  dubs who read it (assuming they have at least one or two brain cells left) will run from their religion like flies on shit when you pour bleach on it and blow it up with dynamite.. toss away crisis of conscience, apocalypse delayed, 30 years a watchtower slave and all those other very nice books and read this one.

  i read those and all the other ones.

  Mindnumbed: I read the book. While amusing, I'd caution that it may not be appropriate for younger girls, depending on what you're comfortable with them reading. I agree with Shirley W's comment. The book had many amusing moments that I could relate to having grown up in JW world, but there were some admissions that indicated other issues outside of JW were at play for some of the rumored reckless decisions.

  What gives you away as a (former) JW?

  by perfect1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  these days my jw past stay safely under wraps from nearly everyone.. i dont dig it up- and i see no need to talk about it with anyone.. sometimes i feel as if my past is a large and terrible secret, and i will be found out eventually.

  people can sense i am different.

  i never talk about my family.. i guess people chalk it up to being a private person or let me be a mystery.. however, there is one thing that i feel completely reveals me as having been raised a jehovahs witness:.

  My sensible and practical car and shoes.

  As a recent fader, I've really been enjoying shopping for new clothes. Sophisticated, yet sexy. Time for the girls to enjoy their freedom!

  Wow. I honestly thought the thread brought up previously about head coverings for sisters was a spoof. I am shaking my head. When will JW women wake up? Thanks for posting Atlantis.

  Freedom is so luxurious. It's been six months of fading for me and I can't see myself returning to any religion. I'm enjoying yoga, Sam Harris, Hitchens, writing in my journal, volunteering in my community etc. way too much to be worried about religion.
