  My Story

  i'm a 4th generation jw.

  i started to realize it wasn't the truth over 2 years ago in late october/early november 2014. i don't know how exactly it happened.

  i remember i had just heard about confirmation bias, and it hit me: i realized that i would be guilty of confirmation bias if i didn't look at the other side.

  What has been your own personal experience of shunning?

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  i am interested in finding out on a small scale the extent of which shunning has impacted on you personally.. my own experience is that when i faded about 12 years ago.

  the woman whose house the book study was held at (and who was virtually a neighbour) walked right past me in my own street.

  i remember it so well.

  I dream about my two adult boys come to see my wife and I and they will not speak to us. I have this dream about two or three times a week. They both have missed a lot not talking to us. Mostly how happy we are not being in the cult any more and our hope they will escape it also. We truly raised them to well in the cult. I missed them alot. I hope they wake up before we grow to old and die. Still Totally ADD

  Today on National Geo. TV they was showing a male fish that mates with its counter part female fish until it dies. After death it dries up until only its sex organ is the only thing left. The female fish can still mate with this dried up sex organ as long as it wants. When my wife and I heard that we both laughed and asked ourselves what was god thinking when he created this fish. I guess the flood really missed up these fish sex life. LOL. Still Totally ADD

  Sometimes I think the WT is mocking the masses

  by NikL in

  1. jw

  as in today's study.... 18 to lie is to say something untruthful.

  (as in millions now living will never die, this generation will by no means pass away, allegations of pedophile abuse of children in congregations is apostate lies) however, jehovah wants his people to go beyond not telling outright lies.

  he urged the ancient israelites: “you should be holy, because i, jehovah your god, am holy.” then he gave examples of being holy.

  Do what I say not what I do. That pretty much sums up the WT CULT. Still Totally ADD

  Witness weddings

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  recently went to a witness wedding, and after the vows the bride and groom were introduced as "brother and sister".....(then last name).....(then the big kiss).

  this is likely not unusual (i've heard it before), but with lots of "worldly" people in attendance it seems out of place to me.. i was just wondering if that's the way it is most places?.

  When my wife and I was married in the kingdom Hall we was introduced as Mr. And Mrs. ADD. But that was back in 1974. If they are using brother and sister, to me that is cult talk for them. You got to keep your distance from those worldly people. LOL. Still Totally ADD

  This site should be called Anti-Jehovahs-Witnesses Cry-babies

  so, you left because of a bad example(s).. why all the whining?

  nothing better to do with your time?.

  you at least know far more about the bible than any church-goer?.

  We all left for various reasons. If some appeared like cry babies I am sure it was because of the extreme abuse they went through by the hands of the wt. This site is a site for healing for many of us so all I can tell you whoever you are is to back off and go out and get a life. Still Totally ADD

  punkofnice I loved what you did by just being nice. It made me think this is the approach we should all do. It is kind of a reverse love bombing. What you did just may put some cracks in their wt world. Showing them that there are other good people out in the world even atheists. If they can't reason just use love bombing. Who knows this just might work. Great job!!! Still Totally ADD

  I am a Living Time Machine

  which world is this?_________________when the doctor pulled my screaming body out of mom all those 7 decades ago, i landed in a post-wwii world.it was--compared to today's world--an alien planet.. the world i live in today has nothing in common with the world in which i grew up.. there were no cell phones back then--there were black telephones with a dial-tone and an operator who placed your call.

  everywhere you found telephone booths!

  a call was a nickle.where did all those telephone booths go?i dunno.where did my whole world go?i dunno.. tv sets were huge boxes with tubes and small screens.

  Terry what a great story you told. At 62 I remember most of what you said. Where I lived we did not have a dial phone until 1963. What we had for a phone was a wooden box with a crank on the side that hanged on the wall. Plus when we did get a dial phone we was on a party line. Our ring was two shorts and one long. I love telling that story to young today ones with cell phones. They look at me like I am a caveman. LOL. Still Totally ADD
