  Exposing one's identity. When?

  by kairos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been toying with the idea of just coming out and posting my name and location as an attempt to be available to locals that secretly browse the forum that have known me for up to 25 years.

  ( "reaching out", so to speak ).

  i'm not da'd or df'd, so this most certainly could end in a dramatic confrontation.

  I deleted all JW FB friends quite some time ago and do not use FB as a platform for anything JW related.

  I really do want to make some JWFacts.com banners to strategically place around town, however.

  New Apostate: Tempest in a Teacup

  first post on here.

  i've been lurking for 3-4 years and i mean i've been a mega lurker, doing marathon reading sessions for months or weeks.. sometimes i proceed by researching specific topics, or posters; other times just reading current discussions.

  i'm particularly fond of "old" post, i.e 10-12-15 years ago.. i have laughed, smiled, got mad, cried etc, just reading some threads here.. as you can see i suffer from some kind of "accute lurkitis".

  Depression while being a JW is a sign that your brain is fed up with constructing an alternate reality.

  I think this is true.

  I'll think on this for a while. Thanks for the posts, of course.

  I've reconnected with five exJWs from my area since my exit.
  I can only imagine how many are on the edge/scared to leave.

  It'll be nuts. New scrolls, GB ruling from heaven with helpers on earth to become the channel for true worship. What a loving provision from Jehovah that the wily old serpent and his crowd will be abyssed so true obedience can be rendered day and night, amen.

  
  

  What could possibly go wrong?

  After Armageddon there needs to be a new "future fear" in place to engage mind control.

  Satan making a final attack in the last days of that system of things ( the 1000 years ) will be just what is needed.

  Did that help?

  I was the visiting speaker years ago and for "hospitality" my wife and I were taken to Chinese food for lunch. The family was getting super uncomfortable about the fortune cookies on the table at the end of the meal.

  We went right for the cookies and read the fortunes to each other. ( wife and I )
  I may have stumbled them...

  just thinking a big fear is "change".

  
  

  I left right when all the internet/device stuff started becoming part of their worship. I don't think I could have handled that amount of change.

  
  

  The change to overlapping generations is what caused me to become Awake!
