Guilt

does anyone ever suffer from the teachings of the wbts still.

altough i have been out for over 12 yrs they still sometimes manage to rear their ugly head.

sometimes a news story will make you think sign of the times, and then all those old feelings come flooding back.

Being a jw almost killed
by moley in
1. jw
2. experiences
this is the first time i've commented on this site, but i do enjoy to come here just to help clarify myself in times of need, ie when those wretched teachings resurface.

a bit about myself.. i was born in 1970 into the wonderful happy organisation (lol) and had a unremarkable childhood or so i thought (apart from being abused by an ms), all i can remember is being terrified of dying at armageddon.

attending 5 meetings a week and being used to preach as people wont shout at a child, studying the literature, not being able to watch popular tv shows, no xmas, birthdays the usual shit.. fast forward to age 16 and i fell in love with a worldly girl (the horror) and got her pregnant, my parents were devasted talking all the time how people in the borg would view them, nothing about what i was going thru, 16 and becoming a father, quite a big thing to me.

i am one of the few people on earth who never had a jehovah's witness knock on my door.

my wife was the first witness i ever met.

i did notice certain personality traits after being around some of the people who left the religion.

Vocalization about being a JW v. being an XJW
by sweetface2233 in
1. jw
2. friends
i know that a lot of jws are very proud of being jws, but ever since i can remember i would be very quiet about it.

i wouldn't announce it at school or work.

i would shy away from the subject.

Snakes had legs until Eden curse! Watchtower 1880 till 1974!!!
by Witness 007 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
often flicking through watchtower bound volumes i would see pictures of eden which shows the snake in the tree of knowledge with legs??

even the photo drama of creation shows a snake with legs.. watchtower 1964 p.352 "genisis 3;14 {snake}on your belly you will go and dust you shall eat...before god curse it the snake had legs, that elivated it above the ground...god transformed it's body so that it ceased to have legs and was able to move on it's belly.".

god's eternal purpose 1974 "god did not put a curse on the whole serpent family...it had only been victimized by satan.. forrest gump watchtower science is price-less!.
