  I'm glad he's ok. I actually use to know people that went to that hall and went to it myself before. I wonder if I ever met him.

  i was invited by my parents, and even though i have nothing but contempt for this religion, things have been good in our relationship so i was considering going just to appease them.

  anyone else?.

  Expect lots of sidelong jabs and comments. I've been to two assemblies since, both with a beard and one with long hair and it came up in literally every conversation! It's very annoying...

  About three months. I had doubts and didn't believe a lot of things for a year or two before that. I was going to fade slower but I was kicked out of my house before that. After I was on my own I never went back.

  funny thoughts when pondering the actions of god

  by confusedandalone in

  isnt it interesting that if god needs to warn millions of people that they need to change he talks to like 1 guy and tells this one guy to talk to 1 million people or 7million to talk to 7billion people.

  it would obviously be easier faster and far more convincing.. .

  yet when alot of people need to die.... he will personal kill each one.

  The whole sovereignty issue would be very simple for god- personally appear to every person, demonstrate his existence and describe what he wants from humans, then allow the person to decide to follow him or do his own thing during his life and face punishment later. There would be no doubt, and no room for bickering about the meaning of scripture. Oddly enough, he never chooses the simplest approach.

  What is definition of a true friend, once outside the cult?

  by suavojr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after leaving the cult of jw's or waking up to ttatt, it is a struggle to trust people again.

  i am personally starting from scratch although i am still in.

  each moment i spend with my current jw friends, i know they are all smiles and loving towards me because of my good status with the wt.. outside a cult you still find fake people and it is also a struggle to find true friends and it is even worst when we've been hit hard from people we used to trust and care for.. .

  This is what a real friend does- when one of my new friends found out that I had never celebrated christmas and had no where to go that day, he invited me to his family's christmas dinner! Someone that has only known me for a few months! That is what true friends do.

  Is it all about the money?

  by Laika in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  often on this forum there are posts about how the gb are obsessed with money and some people here often suggest this impacts every decision the gb makes i.e.

  on my holiday thread it was suggested jws aren't allowed to celebrate holidays as it means spending money on presents that they want for themselves.. i however, do not think this is at all true.

  the society rarely talks about money and as a percentage of income i think the vast majority of jws contribute a very small amount simply because the society rarely talk about it.. obviously money is important to the society in the sense that they couldn't run a major organisation without it, so they have to ask for it at times and factor it in to some of their decision making, but actually the gb live quite frugally and seem to worry much more about clinging to their authority and power than getting rich.. my controversial suggestion of the day is that saying the gb are obsessed with money must make us look silly to lurkers.. what does the jwn intellegentsia think then?.

  wifey says she wants to go to see the special effects.

  I will be for sure. I'm a big Aronofsky fan and I love going to the cinema. And the flood story is on par with Greek myth for me, but I love mythology!

  Has anyone found comfort/encouragement from "worldly songs"?

  i remember reading a thread when my exit was starting, about inspirational songs.

  someone posted a link to the "shins" for a fool.

  this was a surprising help to me.

  Radiohead is pretty much all I listened to when I was leaving. Helped a lot.

  How far are you on your journey away from the JW Org?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i mentally left the org in march 2010. i stepped down as an elder after my lad got into trouble.

  i researched the publications to make myself 'spiritually strong' but it backfired.. i was in mental and emotional turmoil, still on fs, the platform and meetings etc.

  i had to force myself to conform to ever failing jw doctrine.. i announced to my family that i was not going back to meetings in august 2010 after the 'overlapping' joke of 'new light'.. i told the elders not to call.

  Yeah phizzy being worldly rocks!

  Me, I woke up about a year ago, had quite a public fall from grace (I was a golden boy), and walked out of the kingdom hall the week of Independence Day. Quite appropriate, now that I think about it. My last JW function was last year's district convention, although I will be attending another ASSembly here in March.
