just a few quick questions.... how did you who got out of "the truth" deal with having a spouse who is still involved?
what did you do about situations involving your children (such as holidays, birthdays, blood issue, religious upbringing, sports-ymca/karate)?.
since i am the "wife" i feel like i am in a doubly awkward position due to the "submission" issue.
Subtlty is the only way to go about it. Accentuate his fears, and LISTEN TO HIM COMPLAIN, always seem objective but get him to make the calls. I'd fade slowly away, or invent an ailment...worked for me. You have to hit them at the right time with the right information.
Call it personal study at first, then hit him with the crazy-mind bending JW falacies one by one. The house'll start to crumble.

hello all... i'm a newbie...first time on this site...a friend of mine who has also left the borg told me about it... while sitting on the phone together, i read some of the stories to her and we had a good laugh...all is true....
hELLO, HELLO
ASHI
the elders just called us.
one called and another one got on the phone first to ask if my husband would meet with them.
my husband told them he had nothing to say, and if they are going to make any announcement from the platform that slanders our name in any way we will sue them personally, and if we do meet with them we would only do it if our lawyers come and to tell jr brown and mario marino to come also.
Hey Aroarer, you celebrated Christmas this year, right? Trust me, they'll be after you like hounds, now.
You want to get a lawyer? DA yourself?
I read in your earlier posts that you had some friends still in the borganization. I know some of the asses you are proabably dealing with. Trust me, they'll be relentless. Perhaps a new strategy is needed.
Just contact a lawyer, have him write up something, and they can't DF you or force you to DA, but everyone will still shun you.
I don't know who you are, but I met a lot of people from where you're at, and I know what you're up against.....I'll be thinking baout your family.
Stay calm. Don't get too upset. THEY ARE NOT WORTH YOUR DERISION.

i have reade some of you agressiv atacks on jw, and i have a qestion to you, what are your new religion, .
and what are your religion say to you about going auot inn war, and what did it say about where you come where you die.
religion is deeply flawed, period.

every now and again we discuss on this forum the degree of control that the society enjoys over its members the rank and file.
that there is huge control is beyond dispute, i would guess.
but theres more to it than just a simple predatory attitude from brooklyn (though thats there, for sure).
'Your average dub, just WANTS to be told what to do and think.'
That's my father all over. For them it's like a warm blanket. My mother, who is DA'ing herself, is quite the opposite. From day one she had problems with elders telling her what to do-she promptly told them where to go. Good ol' mom.
They become afriad of the Big A, and then they start to fear everything. Dependency and depression result.

seeing that most of those on this forum love to judge others (although the complaint is that jws do the same thing), i am willing to go through a judicial committee.. if you see fit not to forgive, please disfellowship me and shun me.
BRWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhahahahahaha

At least we can be sure you and the YOYO man are family.

after much deliberation, i decided to go "out" at the end of a public talk.
it didn't go down too well, but at least i was able to give some of my reasons for leaving.. i've put some of the details on my homepage.
i'll update it more when i get the time and the strength.
Wow. That's awesome. Balls the size of church bells. I tip my hat to you sir.

p.s.-that is possibly the coolest single experience I've read here. Probably means a lot to lurkers too. Thanks
the watchtower society must indeed suffer from a severe lack of humble people.. in their search for an example of humility and humbleness they actually name their second president, j. f. rutherford, a man still known for his complete lack of anything resembling humility.
hoping for the usual total ignorance among the r&f the watchtower wrote this:.
