so do you feel bad throwing away your old literature?.
what about your old song book or bible from your early days in the org?.
if so, is it because of sentimentality, monetary cost or because it might be 'sacred' ?.
I remember my own great purge and how empty and sad I felt inside while throwing it all out. I knew TTATT and I had no regrets for leaving, but somehow I was sad. That literature represented a feeling of security, albeit false.
Discussing the experience with another former JW, I was counseled to view it as leaving a once cherished but now toxic relationship. You know you're doing the right thing but the human in you still hurts.
It gets easier.

just a quick line, since this is the first time it happens to me and i could now see with my very own eyes.
the scene went like this, on the outside of a large store.. truck stops and a young boy, about 16, no more than 18 years old walks out.
comes up to me, pulls out a track and says.
There minds have been trained in a very precise way. You throw a monkey wrench into the matrix and....

that nicely dressed, freshly-shaven young man that came out from behind the trees at the very end and said:.
i didn't mean to interrupt.
No mic privileges... LOL
They should have named him Andre.

the jw..org website now boasts that the jw message is translated into over 700 languages..
a noble feat, you may think.
and how wonderful that jehovahs message can reach the far ends of the world in so many languages!.
mrs. johnson, our team has been working on your case for a number of weeks.
the money disappearing from your bank account, the constant confusion about 'watchtower teachings', such as the shifting understanding of the 1914 generation, the jw.org logo that seems seems to appear in the strangest places, the singing cart song that you can't get out of your head.

Symptoms may include, but are not limited to:
Nausea

today i watched the public witnessing cart song and a part of the february broadcasting.. it is unbelieveble how unreal the official jw message is and what do they have plastic faces on the channel.. only the good looking are shown (off course!
) and what a hypocrisy on their faces.. bahhhhh!.
gorby.
You mean you're displease with the direction in which Jehovah's celestial chariot has turned?
Scoff NOT, lowly apostate, or you will be thrown into the lake of fire with a pair of concrete galoshes.
a message brought to you by the people who have the unique true knowledge that jesus wasn't born on 12/25:.
hearts aren't even really "heart shaped"--it's just a pagan symbol and everyone wrongly believes they're shaped that way.any questions?
(this forum gets totally buggy when you use emoticons!).
One thing is sure, in losing their own hearts, they have had taken away from them the capacities of "heart" built up in them over the years and which contributed to making them who they were as to personality." (Watchtower, 3/1/1971 p.133-139)
So anyone with a heart transplant cannot get to paradise, given the patient's inability to love God with his/her whole heart.
