  Reasons for reading about the hidden secrets of the Watch Tower religion

  by Terry in

  2. experiences

  the volume of e-mail i have received from still-in jw's because of reading my book has startled me.. somebody sends them a copy and they secretly read it.

  that's gratifying enough, certainly, but--they take the.

  trouble to e-mail me or contact me on facebook, and that boggles my mind.. .

  Do you think JWs know what apostates really are?

  by KateWild in

  2. experiences

  my friend was slagging off one of my other friends saying they have been known to say apotate things.

  she does apostate things herself without realising it.

  she meant well because she fears the word apostate as i once did, but she openly says to me my jc was lacking in holy spirit.. she doesn't have a clue what apostacy really is she just wants me not to mix with ones who have been known said "apostate things".

  Indeed Gladiator, not nice... just had my dog vomiting and before I could clean it he already ate it, the dirty bastard! YUK!!!

  But I think Kate/Sam is right, JW's fear the WORD 'apostate', like they fear 'demons' or 'Satan'... but they really have no idea what it really means.

  Does bring a memory back that I made up some new (funny) words to a 'kingdom melody'. Wow, what a major mistake that was! My dad heard me and told me angrily that those songs were 'sacred' and it wasn't allowed to change any words!

  A New Lightbulb

  "the truth" it seems to me like a lightbulb.. .

  when i think of "new light", i don't think of the sun or the moon or the stars.

  an ever present ray of light.

  It's heart warming to read your story. It's like getting a sneak peak through a time machine... And the accent, well I've seen Forrest Gump haha, can imagine a bit how she must have sounded. Will listen to the song later today! And please post a picture of her, I'm curious what your grande ma ma looks like.

  Thanks for sharing FHN!

  (I've had a wonderful grandmother as well, haven't seen her the last decade, since she's still a JW and 'because of her conscience' she's 'not able' to see me again... ever... She's 89 and I terribly miss her )

  Can imagine how this feels for mzmmom.... the last thing on earth that I would want to happen is my mother showing up here! For me it would definitely mean that I would never post again on the forum. (Lucky for me my mother doesn't speak/read English).

  And of course, every story has two sides... but what I read from this mother is one big 'blame game', it's all about what the 'child' has done wrong, and complaining how hard it is for her... Not a word of empathy or understanding about how hard it is for her daughter... Not a very open position for a reconciliation imho.

  if i knew then what i know now....

  if you could go back and utilize the knowledge of ttatt that you have now, how would it have impacted your decisions?.

  for me, i would've made some different choices.

  i now see that my depression over losing my position in the congregation and watching what i perceived to be my entire world fall apart around me, left me highly susceptible to influence.

  Bobcat, you've probably installed something on your computer. I've had this once myself, when I downloaded a tool, along with it came some malware thing that showed adds on pages I visited.

  Best thing to do is go to your control panel and look in 'add or remove programs' if you recognize anything you've (probably thoughlessly) installed lately and remove it. In my case it was some 'toolbar' that came along with an app I forgot to uncheck this added 'feature'.

  My husband adds that you should check your browser for advertisement plugins or extensions and then disable them or delete/uninstall them.
