  I thought I was alone

  i just could not believe it when i stumbled across this forum recently.

  i was actually doing research for my dad who wanted to see the world's viewpoint of the failed 1975 prophecy.

  he came into the truth less than three years ago and though my mom has been a witness since she was a teenager she never spoke of that particular time period to him.

  Well, I thought I was 'alone' between I guess '93 and '96, and then I found the xJW community online.

  I can understand you wanting to fade, it;s what I did as I have kids an ex-wife and an entire family in...

  ... or I should say I HAD an entire family in, as 'the penny dropped' with some of my nephews and they've recently announced they're not going any longer. They did this on their own (and until recently on their own included not confiding in each other) as although my family don't shun me there's very little contact.

  I'm so happy for you; it is hard learning you've been used the way you have, but;

  ... the best revenge is living well...

  ... and not fufilling the dire prophecies Dubbies make about people who 'fall away' (never use their terms; 'fall' sounds like a mistake or accident, most people 'walk away' quite deliberately... ).

  So try to put your anger and frustration into doing just that, as that's the bet way to show Dubbism up for being the bunch of lies it is. You might have to re-examine your beliefs on loads; friendship, sex, god, evolution, charity, holidays; you might find once you put on your critical thinking hat you'll find religions are all just varying degrees of self-deception and whistful thinking. Sometime in the future you'll find you've (unawres) been thinking of things or acting like a Dubbie and have to kick yourself for it; it's not something you can 'get over' quickly.

  But you can live, and live well, hell, live BETTER than you ever did before.

  Merry Christmas!!!

  HELP! Trying to convince my parents I am going to meetings!

  by stillAwitness in

  a few weeks ago i posted about about how my parents have been asking about wether or not my card has been sent to my "new congregation" since i moved out in july.

  up until now, i have been stalling not knowing wether or not i wanted to just come out and say "i have not been going to meetings" or not take any action at all.

  well someone left an interesting piece of advice on my thread that i have been contemplating doing.that maybe, perhaps i should just have my card sent to a congregation that isn't anywhere near the actual city i live in.

  It's simple; cultist parents are (wait for it) in a cult.

  This means we are the adults in the relationship even if we aren't adults (yet) or are but don't act like we do.

  Adults lie to children for good reason at times.

  It is inevitable that a child of cultists who wants to get out of the cult will have to lie to their parents at time, for a good reason.

  Anyone who has avoided doing this either has done extremely well and been fortunate (and should be glad they don't have to walk a mile in anyone elses shoes), or has no parents.

  Anyone who has done it is in any case simply doing what most kids do to their parents at various points; I don't think I dated a single girl at University who was honest with their parents about smoking.

  I think no matter what one might think about the veracity or otherwise of an individual (and hell is there some projection going on, I'm a skeptic little $ucker and I just don't see what some others do) one should be realistic about what standards one expects them to comply to, especially if we can't say we have always followed out own advice.

  So, any one who hasn't lied to their parents, carry on criticising. Me, I'll just shut up and figure out if I will tell the truth about having a Christmas tree if asked by my parents...

  I wonder what chromosomes they have?

  If you cut out photos of them and of male athletes and swap heads around you can see that aside from tits they have male torsos and upper bodies... wanna see what a black male athlete would look like in drag? Stick his head on a Williams sister!

  Now they could just be gifted female athletes with very male physiques... they could have been fed steroids with their Cheerios throughout puberty... or maybe they're XXX'ers.

  Lurkers: Why the Watchtower REALLY Opposes Holidays

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  no doubt many of you used to wonder why so many potential jehovah's witnesses had a problem with dropping the celebration of holidays,.

  especially christmas.

  i can recall some publishers wondering aloud why their bible studies were ready to swallow watchtower doctrines.

  If you can control someone's sex drive and their relationships with members of their family, then everything else is easy...

  Good comments so far!

  Special Christmas Gifts (1 daughter, 3 nephews)

  by Abaddon in

  2. friends

  this christmas is a special one.. first of all it'll be the first i've celebrated with my eldest daughter.

  she turned 16 this summer and moved to the netherlands from the uk to live with me and my fiance.

  she is absolutely delighted with trees and tinsel and everything about it; her face when we went to the christmas decorations department was a classic... she has her own tree in her bedroom and i swear it's about to go through the floor it has so many fricking decorations on it... talk about tinseltown.... it is also our first christmas in our new house, which we moved to to make my daughter's move possible.. and finally, over the past few weeks i have learnt that three of my nephews have told their parents they are not going to meetings any longer.

  1/15 WT: The Watchtower's Sick Social Order

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just got done reading the latest watchtower and it reinforces any notion that the old men who run this religion.

  want nothing to do with ethical reform of their cult.. the magazine gives an effective look at the way that the watchtower hierarchy maintains their sick social order.. first, women are inferiors, period.

  nevermind the fact that women can manage/run/ or lead an organization equally as.

  Heh... my daughter went to visit her grandparents a couple of months back, went along to a meeting to have a quiet life... there was some of this migoynistic bull about women being a weaker vessel in the meeting; she answered up along the lines of;

  "Of course if you think women can bleed for a week every month and not die the idea of them being a weaker vessel compared to men might come as a surprise."

  This Christmas is a special one.

  First of all it'll be the first I've celebrated with my eldest daughter. She turned 16 this summer and moved to the Netherlands from the UK to live with me and my fiance. She is absolutely delighted with trees and tinsel and everything about it; her face when we went to the Christmas decorations department was a classic... she has her own tree in her bedroom and I swear it's about to go through the floor it has so many fricking decorations on it... talk about tinseltown...

  It is also our first Christmas in our new house, which we moved to to make my daughter's move possible.

  And finally, over the past few weeks I have learnt that three of my nephews have told their parents they are not going to meetings any longer. They're all in their 20's and I've had virtually no contact with them in the past decade, so this was something they did on their own - a big step especially if you've grown up in a 3rd gen family of 14 Dubbies (previously I was the only 'black sheep'). It's early days and they have classic exit issues to deal with for the most part, but it obviously is one of the best Christmas presents I could ever possibly have. Maybe they'll get around to telling their stories here one day, one of them has lurked (and actually re-contacted me through this site)...

  So here's to me and my fantastic fiance and darling daughters...

  Here's to my nephews...

  And here's to you all...

  Have a fabulous Christmas!!!!

  First one was 'Support4XJW's', about '96 I guess. Looked at H20 at some point but it looked like a load of \/\/ /\ |\| |< and failed to sustain my interest. I still know a few people in the XJW online community from those days. That board started to fade after Tishe, the brilliant lady (and best mod I've seen) stopped running it, although it still carries on to this day. Then I found this place which for all its faults ( a slight tendancy to crush butterflies on wheels) has sustained my interest thus far with occasional forays elsewhere and periods when it's too boring to be hacked with.
