Out of the mental cell stuck in the physical prison......no-win situation
by Kensho injdubs are fond of quoting peter "where are we to go lord"... well the answer for me has been this forum for last couple of years which is really sad because i should be able to talk to my lifelong friends instead of faceless avatars.
( don't get me wrong this place has helped me through some really rough times mentally kudos to terry, cedars,slimboyfat, blondie,jwfacts and many others.).
the shun gun has prevented me from making the move completely out of this cult i have given my life to.

CAN YOU BE AN 'APOSTATE' IF YOU WERE NEVER BAPTIZED?
by Mary inthis subject came up with a friend of mine on facebook the other day.
he was never officially baptized as a witness and i believe he is now a born again christian.. does crooklyn consider someone an 'apostate' if you were never actually a full-fledged member but ended up leaving?
or are you just considered 'bad association'??

Here's another common thing that happens to JWs when they start to do research critical to the Watchtower
Many of us feel guilty for even questioning . Think about it that makes no sense its not healthy .
Also some of us have gotten uncomfortable physical feelings like headaches and a feeling of
doing something wrong.
If this supposed truth can't stand up to hard questions and research ITS FALSE .

For believers, prayers requested

he is considered brain dead.
his biological parents have decided to put him in a nursing home, where he will remain for the rest of his natural life.

His problems could very well have been a result of a JW upbringing .
I'm sorry for your family tragedy .

Welcome. We will appreciate your input .
For me the big lie was "All JW critics are slanderous liars"
Needless to say the research proved otherwise .

Keep questioning them about why they are there .
Eventually they will have to come up with something .

Life after DF/divorce
by Freeof1914 ini am just wondering how many here have gone through the experience of being disfellowshipped and divorced?
i am currently in that situation and sometimes i am afraid of what to expect.
thankfully i have a good core of friends, but nonetheless i still find myself somewhat nervous of what to expect in my new life.

Another Newbie
by Skinnedsheep ini recently came to the realization that the organization is corrupt and is false.
my story is similar to many i think.
i was raised in the religion, pioneered and served as an elder for a number of years.
