EX JW's 12 Steps- Step 3
by Victor inwe decided to turn our will and our life over to the care of god or our higher power.
while some turn to religiosity, in my experience most turn to common sense or self determination.
the construct of a higher power presupposes that there is a force outside of ourselves that has always watched over us and will guide us the mere asking.

Exiting the JW's and its aftermath
by Victor inas human beings we are capable of experiencing around 750 emotions.
parents use fear, guilt and shame to control their children to behave and do as they wish.
the jw's are masters at using the same 3 emotions to keep their members in check.

How do you feel about the JWS religion after being out more than 10, 20, 30 years ?
by Finkelstein inmyself being a born in and completely out for more than 30 years i see more of the damage of what this religious cult causes people .. part of myself leaving had to do with the psychological harm it was causing people back in the 1970's, one guy my age at the time hung himself out anxiety and depression.. the numerous suicides that have occurred in numbers is shocking to say the least.. then there is the many families breaking up.. marriages breaking apart because one member decides to leave the jws.. the deaths of members or their children from refusing a blood transfusion.. this hit me personally when my mother refused a bt when she was ill in the hospital and died.. over the years and observing all of these things reminds me how glad and fortunate i left when i did but i do find it responsible to others to expose this religious cult to what can happen to people who get involved with it and that's what i've been doing on this forum and elsewhere.

Sharing an original song I wrote about what it's like to leave JW.
by Thetruthhurts inhttps://www.bandlab.com/posts/088a46c6-9951-ea11-a94c-0003ff121727.
this song is very personal to me but i wanted to share it here for anyone that might enjoy it!
it's about being disfellowshipped and what it's like to leave this religion and is also the only song i've ever recorded.
