  What do you miss the most not being a witness anymore?

  by JH in

  is there anything that you miss, since you don't belong to the jw's anymore?

  friendship, family, or maybe just the feeling of belonging to some groupe that had you dreaming of a better world?

  Were you ever comfortable with the term "your spiritual heritage"?

  by micheal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i never really liked this term even when i was heavily in the org.

  the brothers tried to get everyone to feel really proud of their "spiritual heritage" like you were looking back at your own family heritage.

  i don't know but i never felt that closeness to my "heritage" as a jw.

  Satan is already laughing at you

  This right here really helps in defining that this is nothing more than a cult. The fact that there is NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER a good reason to leave it. I mean talk about brain washed!! Someone was victimized very badly and this is the crap that they come out with? Basically they can do ANYTHING THEY EVER WANT TO DO TO YOU and it is all justified. There can never be a legitimate reason for leaving. What a pile of dung!!

  They had this big talk on "Be proud of your spiritual heritage" at the district convention about 5 years ago. Ever since then it has been brought up several other times.

  demon possessed things

  has anyone ever possessed something that you'd swear had a demon attached to it?

  we've all been told to watch out for things purchased at flea markets, garage sales.... but did something slip through the cracks and into your home?

  my story goes like this: i live in a historic community my next door neighbor found a small grave in her backyard.

  I dunno but I owned a lot of watchtower and awake magazines and a lot of 191 page books. Soon after that my life became a living hell.

  but how come the presidents always looked so unhappy

  I guess because in reality there was nothing ever unique or special about who these guys were or what these guys did.

  That's true Tink. When you think about what these guys were into and where they came from, why would anyone, never mind God use these guys to bring true salvation to billions of people. It just doesn't make any sense. I guess that's why the org only wants the public to know a limited amount about these guys.

  When I saw pictures of those old guys it never seemed all that inviting. I guess jw's have been miserable since their inception.

  how does your internet persona differ from your face-to-face personality?

  do you interact with people differently on the internet than you would face to face?

  yes...i know.....the second and third questions are a re-phrasing of the first...that's in case someone doesn't "get the drift" of the first question.... frannie b

  Without a doubt my true personality does not come through online. I love that face to face contact with people, the face expressions, tone of voice etc.. In person I am much personable, funny and confident than online.
