  End of days indoctrination

  by m0nk3y in

  ok this is like the first new topic i have added in .. forever ..

  it would seem that despite all of the research i have done in the past that i have this unshakable fear of this economic crisis fulfilling bible prophecy.

  i thought that i had worked through all of these demons, i thought that this was a past nightmare that would no longer effect me.

  Ok this is like the first new topic I have added in .. forever .. It would seem that despite all of the research I have done in the past that I have this unshakable fear of this economic crisis fulfilling bible prophecy. I thought that I had worked through all of these demons, I thought that this was a past nightmare that would no longer effect me. And yet here I am again, obsessed with news articles, refreshing pages on the news and JW forums trying get some glimmer of hope that these feelings I have are all wrong. I hate myself for feeling this way, I hate myself for not being able to reasonable about anything at the moment. I AM TOTALLY OBSESSED, the only time I feel ok is when I am asleep! I am sure there are a few of you out there that are feeling similar, but for those that are not concerned, please share your reasons, please help me, I don't feel myself and so want to be wrong about what I am feeling. This is the power of 21 years of JW indoctrination and yet my feelings are no longer limited to JW indoctrination, as many of you are already aware JW's share many if slightly differing opinions with other christians of the time before Armageddon and I am totally obsessed with it. Please help me :( PS sorry for the lack of formatting, this forum seems to pull it all together in one clump

  Fun at the book study

  by Zico in

  2. friends

  i know what you're thinking.

  how can you possibly have fun at the book study?

  well, it's easy to have fun with the revelation book, it's so full of forced interpretations and massive holes, you can just rip it apart (subtly, of course) it's also much easier to question things in a smaller group.

  OutKasted ;-P

  by SpaWn of MeDusa in

  hello in there ;-p. wow wow wow.... i never knew such a place existed.... unfortunatly i don't have a lot of time to type right now & believe me i'd need days, perhaps even weeks & i'd probably still feel like i wasn't done.... in short... my name is jodie, i'm from australia, i'm about to turn 32 & i am a jehovah's witness outkast... i wasn't kicked out, i left of my own accord when my parents divorced & i was about 14... my father, my younger brother & me - the 3 black sheep !!

  my father was disfellowshipped, he was an elder who also happened to have bi polar... the day ( or technically night ) my father was disfellowshipped was the saddest time of my life - it was more like a death or a funeral, something tragic... when my parents divorced i went to live with dad, i was always closer to my father plus when he left he had nothing... he lived on the river bank in the middle of winter for 6 weeks in a tent ( while his good christian jehovah's witness father & sister slept warm in their beds in the same town... ) dad bought a little caravan & he & i lived in it, eventually he bought some land & built a house & my younger brother joined us.... anyway to cut it all short... i've suffered badly from depression - so badly it's almost killed me & my brother also... the crux of our depression is our mother, our sister's, our grandfather, our aunt's & all of our relatives are jehovah's witnesses - most of them live in the same town as us altho they may as well live on the other side of the world.... you know, sitting here thinking about it all - it all makes perfect sense... how can families be torn apart like this, how do they not realise it is wrong & sad & wicked ??.

  i've spent more than half my life trying to have any sort of relationship with the rest of my family.... anyway i have to get going.... hasta la vista .

  Hi Bufftang and everyone else here as well, I do drop in regularly to read your posts but I feel I have fallen silent probably out of shear laziness hehe. Thank you Bufftang for your thoughts and I want to wish you all the best for the future. I am very happy these days being free from the borg. Late last year (during my birthday in fact) Chris proposed to me. So we have the joy of planning our dream wedding, we just booked our place for our reception *GORGEOUS* It's quite overwhelming, I am as you can imagine extremely emotional because I never really thought I would be planning my wedding so yes hehe. My mum and her new husband (who are still JW orientated) are coming and I am honored to have her walk me down the aisle. Without boring you anymore with the details Chris and I are very happy Love Josh

  it may have already been talked about here but i just saw it last night with some other "apostate" friends.. wasn't it amazing in it's similarity to the borg.. my favorite scene was everyone reading together "dick and jane" talk about a great watchtower study depiction!

  I really really enjoyed this movie, I thnk it was up there as one of the best I saw for 2004. I think the main reason I liked it was because of my past and the happy ending.

  I remember coming across a fair amount of "APOSTATES" at the doors, being the ignorant witness I was though everything they said no matter how logical just sounded like tragic nonsence to me.
