I've just been disfellowshipped!

by maksutov in

apparently it was announced last night.

i was not informed (for 'legal reasons'), but they phoned my dad and told him.

i understand it is due to my apostate book.

KateWild

Sorry to hear about your Dfing Mak. I hope your family don't shun you. Congratulations on your book I hope it was cathartic to write and helps many wake up.

Thoughts: Convinced that my wife will never awake from the brainwashing

by goingthruthemotions in

hello all, it's been a long time since i have posted.

well, things have not changed on my end.

i am still going thru the motions.

Sorry to hear how you're feeling. Sometimes spouses do not wake up. But sometimes they do. I think it's a good suggestion by a few for you to stop going to meetings and take your boys to the park or swimming instead.

But if she still goes you may have to accept that she won't wake up. Many couples live like this.

OnTheWayOut is a poster that left but his wife stayed in....they are still married and they just deal with their circumstances.

JWs through the eyes of an eight year old

by maksutov in

my wife is a jw, and is teaching our eight year old daughter jw beliefs.

i am trying to teach her about evolution and critical thinking skills.

here is a conversation we had today (as best i can remember it):daughter: "why do bad things happen?

KateWild

Well done you're doing really well. You also need to develop a relationship which is fun and give her good memories....like playing cards or board games too.....step right away from education and religion. Go swimming and visit museums.

I taught my son TTATT when he was 11 and we read jwfacts.com together.....but it was only possible because we have a close relationship away from religion.

He is 13 now and stays home when his dad goes to the meetings.

Thank you for redirecting me to the right organization!

by economy in

thank you, jw.net and cofty, for redirecting me to the right organization!.

when i posted why did god permit scriptures to be corrupted?

then i thought, if there is an organization that believes all scriptures are corrupted (which obviously makes it enemy of all religions), that organization is not ordinary, but gutsy, lionhearted, and worthy of close examination!

KateWild

Ahh well another loony tunes added to the list.

This cult really does mess some people up beyond repair.

Bloodlust

by berrygerry in

i'm about half-way through the novel "watch how we walk," written in 2013 by a born-in, jennifer lovegrove.. absolutely worthwhile read.. does this paragraph sum up jw-land?.

"i was paranoid again, like i had been back home, as though someone was scrutinizing and judging me.

although i was alone, it reminded me of being at the kingdom hall.

KateWild

Village Idiot, I got Df'd in April 2012, and woke up in Feb 2013.

I tried to wake up my fellow Df'd brothers and sister as we were all attending all the meetings and trying to get RI'd.

I left WT in Nov 2013....

The year that I was Df'd three others were Df'd from the same cong that same year.

Never mind the other congs in the circuit.

When you listen to my JC recording you will understand why.

If you want to hear it and you haven't yet just post a request and I will bump the thread or embed the file.

KateWild

TTATT Billboard outside Belton, TX JW Conventions - Fundraising campaign

by quest81 in

billboard raising awareness of the dangers of the jehovah's witness cult.. short summary.

millions of people's lives are being adversely affected every day by jehovah's witnesses' (also known as jw.org) harmful teachings of shunning former members, refusal of certain kinds of medical treatment, social isolation, and harboring of child molesters.

the goal of this campaign is to sponsor a billboard that will be targeted to current members traveling to the belton, tx conventions july 31st - aug 9th 2015. these conventions attract thousands of current members and hundreds of prospective members.

KateWild

Thanks cappytan.....it looks like it's just a jwsurvey.org site which is okay too. But I have a problem with the fact that the advertising is focusing on just one problem with WT....not the full problem that it's a cult.

Both jwsurvey.org and jwfacts.com helped me and my kids wake up.....advertising needs to broaden their scope to wake JWs up.

I tried to go to jwthink.com and that website doesn't exist....I went on reddit.com and the site was hard to navigate and the first thing I noticed was a thread about the best way to advertise.

I also saw a much better poster advertising jwfacts.com. This was much better.

JWs don't leave WT because they find out about paedophile coverups it is more personal. I liked the simple question "what does your religion really teach?" That would have impact I think. It caught my eye. Then the simple jwfacts.com.
