  as i was growing up in the troof.

  there were sayings used over and over again to control my behaviour.

  the biblical on bad associations spoil useful habits and another on just because everyone else does it doesnt mean you have to do it to, would you jump off a cliff just because other people do what were the sayings that bugged you?

  What Made You Leave The "Truth"? Was It False Prophecy, People, Blood, etc.

  by minimus in

  jw's like to believe that people who leave the organization do it for selfish reasons or due to impatience and not "waiting on jehovah".

  there's a variety of reasons for persons making the decision and saying, "that's it!

  i'm not doing this anymore".

  two years back i was in another city visiting my brother i was having some problem with my sleep and suddenly i developed pain in my chest i went to the hospital casualty dept. the doc examined for sometime and told me everything was fine and told me to meet another doc in the morning i was surprised he referred me to a psycologist( i live in a third world country where going to psycologist is some how considered to be a taboo) after a very long examination he asked me if i was expecting something divine to happen (armageddon in my case) he said that was my core problem. from that day onwards i have given up the truth for good "sleep".

  Is leaving the org. easier today than years ago?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  who is out there to help jw's when they decide to leave the organization?

  if it wasn't for forums like this one or internet in general, what aid would those who leave the organization get?.

  if we go back a few years before the internet was available to everyone, how did these people who quit, heal from their jw experience?

  how to study the bible

  since the bible was written a long time ago, many of the cultural references and literary styles used are unfamiliar to us today.

  to truly understand the bible, we need to understand the background of life and literature 2000 to 3000 years ago as the bible was being written.
