Converting into this religion is not the result of an healthy ego. Something must be wrong with me. I'll figure it out. - Esmeralda

This isn't necessarily the case. Everyone has problems in life. No one is normal. This is a cult that recruits people. All the converts have been recruited with proven techniques. Return visits and love bombing.

Some born in JWs think normal is towing the line, being the same. But the world has a variety of personalities with various opinions. Colourful and exciting.

You are free thinking and have opinions. Don't lose that part of your personality. Stay colourful and exciting.

Take care

Love Kate xx

I was a convert and I converted at age 20. The JWs were very loving and kind and it's what drew me to the WT. But the love was not there in all JWs and this is what got me questioning. I was very zealous and did everything Jehovah wanted from me, but I still had suffering..........that's when I questioned if God really cares.

Leaving was stressful, but my kids also left.

Another Up Building Field Service Experience

by ThomasCovenant in

the following was from a friend of mine:.

yesterday for the first time in the 2 years we've been living here.

two 50+ year old women.

Well it actually infuriates me that they don't engage. When I was a JW I cared about the householders and was really interested in their perspective.

It just shows how hypocritical these two JWs were. They only care about their own salvation.

Some Christian attitude.

Basic Principles for Forum Moderation

by Simon in

a perennial issue for any online forum is moderation and applying rules.

we have a set of community guidelines and posting guidelines that are intended to make clear what is and isn't acceptable but this tends to focus on the obvious standards of behavior for, well, obvious reasons.

it's easy to talk about people being aggressive or insulting etc... as those are common and clearly unwanted behaviors and the typical issue for online communities - the most likely things to come up.. does this mean that everything *not* on the list is allowed?

KateWild

Simon,

Thanks for the site. I don't post as much as I used to, but I visit everyday and want to help those that are doubting and feeling hurt and betrayed.

Sorry you're feeling like this Punk. I felt the same at Halloween. I feel you. You are usually so motivating and upbeat.

Take care Punky

me-you allow pedophiles to go d2d and into peoples houses even when they have children.. j.w-no we don't.. me-the one that interfered with a relative of mine does and another i know who raped his sister does in fact he's an elder.. j.w-we cant stop them going d2d.. me- so now your saying they do go d2d you can't stop them,no you don't want to!.

j.w-it happens in all religions.. me- so that justifies sending pedo's into strangers houses.how would you like it if a pedo came to your place and you didn't know.. j.w- it happened to my mother and if he came to my place it knock him out.. me - but you have no problem with anyone from your church going to peoples houses even if they are a pedo.. we argued around in circles with him saying the elders may not know and me saying well i told them and so did the victim and he admitted to it ,then i told him about the r.c in australia and he said that could be anyone claiming to be a j.w could be on the stand ( by this time he was getting desperate)the i said like jeffery jackson?.

i told them to look it up on you tube.. i gave then the names and congro's the 2 pedo's are in and said i'd come back next week and see if they had checked it out.the lady's body language said she knew the elder that raped his sister as they are a well know family they were in the year book a few years ago.. stand by for next week.. karter.

I talk to them on their trolleys too. I had some pack up and leave too in Trafalgar square.

They just can't reason

Drink Driving

by Simon in

with the christmas almost upon us i would like to share a personal experience with you about drinking and driving.. as you may know the local police are having a serious go at drink drivers this year... well, a couple of days ago i was out for an evening with friends and had a small number of drinks before dinner, followed by some rather nice red wine.

feeling jolly i still had the sense to know that i may be very slightly over the limit.. that's when i did something that i've never done before - i took a taxi home.. sure enough on the way home there was a police road check, but since it was a taxi they waved it past.

i arrived home safely without incident.. this was a real surprise as i had never driven a taxi before, i don't know where i got it and now that it's in my garage i don't know what to do with it.. any ideas?.

Lovely Simon very good hahhaha

Hello

by Lost and adrift in

.just plucking up the courage to introduce myself....living in ireland but from the uk originally.

..drifted away due to depression (from all things truth related lol and bereavements and my m.s husband cheating on me and leaving !!

) few years ago but they recently hunted me down (they contacted me the day my other half was diagnosed with cancer!

KateWild

I am so sorry what has happened to you. It's so unforgivable the way they have harassed you just so they can use their power to df you.

These elders are scumbags that have stopped your daughter and mother talking to you when you need them most.

Their logic is flawed. You are not committing any sins as your fiance is battling cancer and is unable to fornicate. So their conclusions are unacceptable and you have been out for a number of years.

This is obvious evidence for you that holy spirit is not guiding them. Love and kindness is not their driving force. All they enjoy is having power and control over you.

I hope your daughter and your mother feel for you and start supporting you soon. You never know they may. I very much hope so.

I'm Naughty

i'm a naughty girl, i love it, it makes me laugh & i love to laugh.

life is so serious, not enough smiles i think.

my husband got me a new toy, it's the fart gun from despicable me.

KateWild

Why do we call sex and kinks "naughty"? Is it because we have been conditioned?

I have a healthy sexual appetite and like exploring and experimenting......and I have been into sex shops.

I don't view this as naughty......it's healthy and interesting and fun
