They are not out of line Andie. I left the borg after wasting the first 23 years of my life. I couldn't take a religion controlling every facet of my life. I hated the cliques in the congregations and pompass elders getting into my business. I hated that my father would get jobs to make just enough money so he could also aux. pioneer on a regular basis. I hated field sevice and I hated wasting a whole 2 hours on saturday for our family study. This forum has really provided me an outlet that I have needed for years and also the real good association which is ex-Jdubs...

Witnessism's........
by integ ini know some have posted similar topics like this, but i thought it might be kind of fun (for the new ones that are coming here in droves) and others, to give some examples of catch phrases etc, that are unique to the jw world.
here's a few to start:.... "muster up boldness", "sound down into our hearts","satan's crafty acts", "paradisaic", "young ones"," discernment".....these are just a few of the more irritating.
add yours if you'd like.. integ.

How long did it take you to leave the org?
by sandy ini was wondering how long it took for all of you to leave the org.
how active were you and for how long while knowing the "truth" was not the truth.
i ran into an old friend last week.

I was raised in the Borg and started to miss meetings at 22. I became fully inactive at age 24. And my nightmares of Armageddon ended about a year ago. I have no doubt in my mind that the Borg is a mind controlling cult.

Extreme Sports? Ever get counselled?
by shamus inwhen a jw, i began to get seriously into mountaineering / rock / ice climbing.
somehow i escaped being counselled about it, by talking to an elder in advance of their finding out, and having a fit.
statistics prove that more persons die from unroped "scrambling" than mountaineering with ropes).

Our congo football games got switched from tackle to flag because of the elders too. And your right our injuries jumped up too

A jdub friend I had was told by his elder/dad that in order to present himself holy to Jehovah that he could not skateboard anymore. His reasoning was if he got hurt he might not be able to go out in the field ministry. His father also tried to hint in a talk how our bodys were sacrafices to Jehovah and our youths should not paticipate in any sport or activity that could physically harm oneself. I think he meant we needed to live in a padded room reading the watchtower all day. What BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take confort Girlonthefence it took me a couple of years after leaving before the Armageddon nightmares stopped completely. The thing that help me most was associating with ex-jdubs and talking about all the crap we were brainwashed with.
