  i learned this past week that my wife is now awake.

  i just shared the pbs newshour segment with her with no comment other than something along the lines of, "jw story on pbs.".

  she is furious at the arrogance of these men.. thats what happens when you get a momma angry!.

  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.

  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.

  Mummy Dear Lies at Assemblies

  by Tempest in a Teacup in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my zealously fanatic jw mum is aware of my current "tourist-jw" life.

  what she doesn't know for sure is that she's part of the ones who brought me to this.. my mum was a quite moderate jw, she even got publically reproved once.

  in our house, there was no daily text, no family study, no eating together, no preaching together, no watchtower study...even though she regularly checked my wt to see if i studied it.. being a single mother, she had a quite busy work schedule, so from the moment she woke up to the moment she went to bed, you'd better not waste a single minute of her time needlessly.

  How revealing this all is. I believed every word of it.....hook line and sinker.

  Basically the COs must be told to get JWs to lie....big fat liars themselves.

  Shocking.

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  most of you have probably seen the apostasy trial video posted on youtube (and all over social media) recently.

  well, there's a "wordly" woman from another country that i had worked with some time ago and she's posted it, tagged me, and asked "wtf?

  ", knowing i'm a still a jw just for family reasons.

  Interesting point about elders appointment by holy spirit (apostacy case)

  by joe134cd in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i was just listening to a jc for apostasy on jwstruggle.

  the issue was raised if elders are appointed by holy spirit, then why is there such an issue with sex abuse.

  the answer was given (and i thought it was quite true) well jesus was the son of god and he appointed judas under holy spirit, just to have him turn on him.

  I would say that Judas being appointed by holy spirit proves that holy spirit does not work or does not exist.

  This means that holy spirit really has nothing to do with guiding people to do good. It also means we should not trust in the holy spirit we should trust in our own ability to make decisions.

  The elders seemed surprised when he was discussing the UN. They seemed to have no clue and didn't want to see proof of Watchtowers position over the years.

  I found this very telling and obvious that WT breaks up families.

  How a Gay Jewish Boy from New England Came to Be and Leave the JWs (and what he did next)

  by CalebInFloroda in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  born in cambridge, ma to a liberal couple that escaped the conservative south, my parents raised me better than to become a jehovahs witness.

  funny thing was they got mixed up in it first.. while that is a story for another time, i myself had to go along as the third of five children in my family.

  dads job transferred him to texas and my mom worked fulltime herself, but eventually we found ourselves drinking the kool-aid of ambiguity intolerance and full-fledge belief that the bible was literal fact and that salvation was found only by those who were smart enough to enter the confines of the watchtower.. its weird how many people claim they fear children raised by two gay parents will grow up to be gay.

  Welcome Caleb, interesting story. I too come from a Jewish family in North London and took part in religious customs growing up.

  Glad you made it out thecult.

  2. friends

  good morning everyone,.

  i have a friend who lives in new zealand, and because of not wanting to be identified she has asked me to post this on her behalf.

  That would be nice 8 friends all leaving together....it will also raise questions to the JWs left behind.

  I hope this rumour is true.

  How do stop myself getting too Bitter?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you know, i always maintained that during this fading process, and while learning ttatt, i would not let myself get "bitter twisted and angry".... but, in all honesty, if i examine myself, i have become quite bitter toward the org, toward the false friends and the gb.. i have become angry as i see the extent of damage i feel being raised in "the truth" has done.... i feel hurt towards the lost opportunities in life etc.... how do i not allow myself to get too swallowed up by such bitterness?.

  i have always been a very happy, positive, selfless person.

  i can put people at ease, i am someone people feel comfortable chatting to.

  I volunteer and taken up a new hobby of playing netball. None of it works....I still feel isolated and alone and miss my son terribly everyday. But I carry on for his sake and my daughter.

  I am not bitter just very sad and isolated even though I have new pursuits in my life.

  It's okay to feel like this stuck, not everyone has a successful exit.
