Damn it feels good to be free and on my own without the pressure to do more as a JW slave
by No Longer a JW Brother ini don't know where to begin but damn it feels so good to be free of mind control.
i'm only officially out since this past december but i was out mentally for two hot years under the close watch of my batshit crazy psycho parents who bothered me every sunday to see what i thought about the meeting.
it was necessary for me to lie through my teeth.

Ten years out.....
by snare&racket ini'm not sure how useful this post will be, but i feel compelled to write it.
with many of my older posts, i wrote them with a younger jw version of me in mind.
with this i write it with a younger newly ex jw in mind.. ten years ago i went to my presiding overseer and told him my concerns about wt owning 'rand cam' military stocks, about unfulfilled prophecy and human error in the governing body and the theocratic consequences of such.

JW boys motto to get around Elders at a JC:
"If you didn't see my dick, you must acquit!"
{Gavel slams down} - Innocent! You are free to go! As for the young lady, your protruding belly is an obvious sign from JE-HOV-ER that you have sinned. You are now disfellowshipped. Go forth, be warm, and well fed!
Praise Jah! Amen. This concludes our Judicial proceedings. Hey, let's all head over to Elder Companyowner's lavish home and get drunk while watching football! (other Elders) - Yaaaaaaah!!

Are you A comments/like junkie?
by olongapo joe ini admit that i am, i started a thread on my youthful drinking, that went absolutely nowhere.
so here i am looking for some love.
i have spent hours on this site reading others experiences (real or imagined), i question some of john aguilars( i did not comment on johns post, just mentally thought it sounded a little far fetched) and notice when others question how he is always in the right place at the right time, he seems to stop commenting.

John A, is truly a trip. By his account, he's met HUNDREDS of Apostates in his adventures, meetings, and travels. He's openly spoken to Elders about JW doctrine, helped active JW's leave, and much, much more! All the while, somehow never being asked to attend a Judicial Committee? I'll let you decide how bonafide his fairy tales are. -

My meeting yesterday
by stephanie61092 inso i just wanted to jot down some thoughts and feelings about my meeting yesterday.... first, the wt, paragraph 16. i couldn't help but laugh to myself at the blatant hypocrisy.
god’s word admonishes us “to live with soundness of mind ... amid this present system of things.” (titus 2:12) having “soundness of mind,” or being sober-minded, should certainly come into play when the explanation of a diagnostic method or therapy seems strange or mysterious.
can the practitioner or the one promoting it explain satisfactorily how it works?

Not to come to the defense of the WT writers, but I'm pretty sure from what they wrote up there that they are talking about a lot of Asian medical practices, and also of the more modern New Age religious movements such as Reiki.
I don't think for an instant that the WT writers were talking about western "modern" medicine. I live in Pennsylvania, USA. Although lately, you'd think I was somewhere in Southern California. There is a lot of this New Age crap moving in to the area, a lot of Reiki, which some have described as highly controlling and a BS scam as well. If it's here, I'm fairly certain its in wealthy region like Warwick, NY. So honestly, I feel this is what WT writers were pinpointing.

Brother, from another mother? You fuggin' rock for going out like you did! Buying that pre-paid CELL and sending out those texts with video links was brilliant, freakin' brilliant! "Theocratic warfare" at it's very best.
I'm with you, see? We're the same, you and me, see? (Bonus points if you get what movie scene that line is from)
Fug those cult bastards!

Do todays Jw's care at all about Russell and the pyramid?
by olongapo joe injust wondering, as i will be visiting active jw family in ohio in a few weeks, do you think it will be worthwhile dropping it into a conversation, about the wtbts pyramid near his grave, or try some other topic to try and wake them up.
i was never baptized and don't really care if they get upset or not, but it is only a day trip from ohio to pittsburgh, and thought it would be fun if they denied it, and then drove their to see it for ourselves.

Narcissistic personality disorder and the dubs
by purrpurr ini've recently started to research npd.
having identified several of my family members as having it ( no wonder we're such a ¿***#@**!!!!
up family)there's huge similarities between the borg and individual members of the cong as well i've noticed.the over whelming love of self, the need to believe in a grandiose fictional version of themselves, always striving for more power and wealth, being unable to stand any criticism, and then there's the manipulation of the victims too.i could be wrong i guess but what thoughts do you guys have about it?

If this guy is legit, I'd honestly like to know what sent someone as reclusive and sheltered as him into "wake-up mode." Seriously!! Here he was an Elder, living in his parents basement, probably looking for Mrs. Future Elderette.
What happened S&L? JW Broadcasting? UK WTHQ not being built fast enough? Multiple child sexual abuse cases against JW Elders hitting multiple news outlets in the UK? Total lack of love and/or constant feeling of "never being good enough?" Personal bible research? Stumbling (snicker) upon the UN NGO association and immediate 180 of said association? 2014 (100 years since 1914) come and went, and you finally wake up? Seeing pictures of the luxurious new WT HQ in Warwick?
Really curious. Come out, come out, wherever you are? (sexually frustrated closeted homosexual, perhaps?) Honestly, some people mistake my sarcasm for being an asshole. That's not the case. I just lack tact. Poor impulse control.

I'm not asking for S&L's personal info. Nor do I need any confirmation of his age, "status" in or out of the Cult, etc.
I'll answer his question though. I was born into this mess, to parents (and grandmother) who were exposed to WT literature throughout their lives, and decided to convert when they were young adults, not long after 1975. They got dunked in 1983 as I recall. They didn't have the internet or research materials as we do. They didn't have JW Broadcasting either.
They (and I) were sold a faux bill of goods. They're all dead. I'm left to pick up the pieces of this mess. My son has never (and never will) set foot into a KingDumb Hell. The more that comes out of this religion (that I no longer even recognize, it's disgusting!) the more angry I become. I wouldn't punch a street peddler; no. But if I got off the Amtrak in NYC and saw Lett or TOMOIII walking towards me, I'd lay them out on their holier-than-thou asses with one punch to the face and kick to the balls! And if I EVER happen upon Fred Franz's (the Oracle) grave, I will most definitely relieve myself upon it for all the rotten spiritual "food" that nutcase unleashed upon the world.
