  Anxiety symptoms

  by Silvia Plath in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ever since i stopped my study i have gotten completely depressed, unable to sleep, i really depended on my study group to keep me sane and give me purpose but now my bi-polar symptoms have come back with a vengeance.

  i thought about going to another church because ruminuating on a creator did help me sleep at night and now i have not slept for four days.

  i never realized how much i was becoming dependent on the religious structure.

  Children of God

  you guys should check this out.

  http://www.movingon.org/.

  if you thought you had it bad, here is a cult, that said out in the open at one point that sex should be normalized for children in such a way, that one could participate children in sex and there was nothing wrong with it!

  Lebanon and Israel

  by Silvia Plath in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  wow you guys really made me think with the response to my faith topic, i was just arguing with a friend today over israel and invading lebabon and he quoted all the bible scriptures to me trying to show me that, israel were the chosen people of god and how god allowed them to go in and slaughter the canninties (first recorded insident of genocide) including killing small children, and i asked is that what christ jesus died for so god could order the slaughter of babies for the jews?

  so you are saying that not only is god a racist, but not a god of love as well?

  if god created all of us from the dust why would he love one race more than another?

  Has being a Jehova's witness totally shattered your faith?

  by Silvia Plath in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just because the watchtower society is wrong doesn't mean that there is no god, nor does it mean there is a god.

  it would interesting to now how former members have adjusted thier cosmology, or whether they are now atheists and why.

  i personally see religion as a more personal matter, rather than belonging to an organization.

  Have any of you been to e-watchman?

  by Silvia Plath in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  http://www.e-watchman.com/.

  this site is also made up of many ex and current jw's, the difference is they all remain deeply committed to christianity and bible study, but are extremely distrustful of the watch tower orginanization and consider it to be a "pharisee" or a "false prophet" what the bible warns of.

  from what i am reading they seem to be the beginning movements of a break away sect, many of them praise russell who seems to have been more spiritual and laid back and trace the demise of the movement with rutherford, who began introducing all the messed up rules they have now.

  How is the cult structure of JW's similar to that of Scientology?

  by Silvia Plath in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after what happened to me and how i almost joined thinking i must not be as intelligent as i thought i was if i really belived this tripe, i started researching other cults.. this site which is dedicated to exposing scientology www.xenu.net , it relayed how many people who were in the cult for decades were, doctors, lawyers, even a physicist!

  it says if you get hooked it is not because you are stupid or naive that is the nature of mind control.

  in the auditing sessions they use mind numbing "repitition" of certain things, similar to how my teacher would keep asking me "who is ruler of this world" satan, satan, i would keep replying, mind you;.

  Recently Studied With JW's--need help breaking up

  by Silvia Plath in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i studied with the jw's for two years and some time this coming week i will be making the "phone call" to tell carol my friend, that i do not want to study any longer with the jw's.

  i don't know why i let them into my kitchen to begin with, except there was something about her and i don't make friends well with other women, most of my friends are guys, but carol could tell a irish yarn that made you laugh and feel good.

  she made me feel safe and she was fun to go shopping with and talk about problems too, she was like the mother i never had.
