Is it better to just LEAVE or FIGHT?
by ljwtiamb inalthough, i have not been victim to the same level of damage from the wts as many of you on this site, i have noticed that it is very difficult to fight such a large entity with deep pockets and passionate (though misled) supporters.. .
since i am still in the very early stages of leaving/fading, i wonder:.
i have already spent the vast majority of my life sacrificially serving the interests of this org.

If WTS was a person ...
by ljwtiamb inwhile recently researching some info on personal relationships, i realized that if wts was a person, being a jw would be clearly classified as an abusive relationship.
healthy relationship- this is a good dating relationship for now.
both are feeling good about self, feel good individually whether in a relationship or not shared interests, shared power and decision making, shared values

... after Armageddon?
by ljwtiamb ini distinctly remember being an impressionable young child among a stadium full of persons, who should have known better, as we applauded the boastings of one of our fellow idiots suckers privileged, that she was ?available after armageddon?.
although, i have also been ?taken advantage?
of, i realize that wts only took what i willingly gave, my youth, opportunity for education, etc..

Chicken or Egg?
by ljwtiamb inthis is one of those 'which came first' kinda questions:.
did wts exploit personality characteristics (strengths or weaknesses) that already existed in you?.
did your personality eventually disintegrate into the familiar jw mold?.

On a POSITIVE note ...
by ljwtiamb ini have felt that this site is therapeutic for me, in that i can give voice to feelings that i have heretofore had to keep inside.
i also enjoy reading other's stories and learning that i am not alone.
although, many of us feel that we have wasted our lives on wt, there may also be a very positive side.

Excellent WT logic
by ljwtiamb ini just love the logic that was applied in last week's wt study, paragraph 3:only a god of infinite wisdom could be responsible for the miraculous formation of a new living human.
for thousands of years, reasoning people have credited the formation of a child inside its mother's womb to the grand creator.
who am i to go against thousands of years of reasoning people?
