  some time ago a super-dub stopped by to try to encourage me to return to jw land.

  my demeanor during our conversation was extremely serious.

  i was polite, but dignified.

  Maybe magnum, just maybe, he was giving you a secret hint (so he wouldn't get in trouble) that (like stuckinarut said) "it's helping us see how stupid this is and leave"!!!

  Using Watchtowers Own Reasoning Against Them RE: The Governing Body

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  something occurred to me today.

  quite randomly as i was working away at my desk i remembered an illustration from the bible teach book in which satan claimed he knew better than jehovah about ruling mankind.

  here's the illustration from chapter 11 of that book:.

  Good one, PE! perfect for cart witnessing!

  Lately, the scripture "Always learning, yet never coming to an accurate knowledge of truth" keeps appealing to me, especially in reference to this 'new generation' thing.

  so i have been "faded" for approximately 2.5 years.

  my parents know i haven't attended a meeting in quite some time, but don't know that i have been dating a guy for about eight months.

  we really love each other and his family is super sweet.

  One more "two cents"... What if you DO introduce them to your parents, your mom and dad don't talk to you and then.....

  you don't keep that boyfriend? All that drama for nothing.

  One thing I would say for sure. Your life has to be yours. Otherwise, you will have regrets.

  This is my story

  by paradiseseeker in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've already posted in this forum but i haven't told you my story.

  nowadays i'm a pimo in my late 20s from spain.. i was born in the cult and i can say that during my whole childhood and most of my teenage years i believed in this.

  however, i felt that here was something wrong with me, as i wasn't comfortable telling people i was jw, talking about jw stuff, nor did i feel "excited" and "grateful" whenever a watchtower publication told me that i should.

  Hi paradiseeker,

  You have a strong will for truth, that is why you feel the need to leave. We all wanted "truth", and that is why we are all disappointed and even mad at WT for lying to us...

  When asked the monumental question, "Where will you go?" Simply answer, "Somewhere I am not lied to"

  to the person who reported me to the elders from here - thank you for making me be able to leave the organisation a whole lot easier and sooner than i'd planned.

  you did me a huge favour 😊.

  Maybe it wasn't what you wrote here...

  Maybe it was someone who had access to your phone or browser history? That would do it!

  The "Imperfect Men" Argument

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of the most common "defences" of jw organization is that "the brothers" are imperfect yet still strive to follow god's word.

  "sure, they make mistakes," so the argument goes, "but so did god's people in the past, including in bible times.

  " the key point is their readiness to keep studying god's word and learning from their mistakes.".

  What was your trigger to waking up ?

  by CovertsadJW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  good afternoon , .

  i wanted to ask everyone here , what was your trigger to waking up ?

  i have been waking up for a long time , but in looking back it’s hard for me to look at one event and say “ ah ha “ , i think mine is like a slow leak - like a crack in a damn - and then hold on , because after that it’s just a flood of information.

  I always had questions, and in the 70's and 80's we could ask, discuss, research things, even disagree... to a certain extent... as long as you said, "well, we'll see what Jehovah does" and, you were always on a hamster wheel.

  For me, my husband, two sons and daughter in law, it was 607. BAM! GONE! No more lies.

  Good job Dan, you will look back on this day feeling so happy to have not spent one more minute under the thumb of lies. Now, you can truly live life, breathe, explore, change your mind, play, grow, sleep in!

  Congratulations, you have taken your life back!
