Did anyone find the DC encouraging?
by sweet tee ini remember going to the assemblies and conventions and feeling encouraged by the information that was presented.
in hindsight, i may have just felt that way because that's how you were supposed to feel.
i was a 100% brainwashed fool for many years, if the gb said it, i did, i felt it and i believed it .

Are you addicted to this website?
by Podiatrist ini mean seriously, since im not a jw perhaps id have a different opinion about it all.
but a colleague from work says she dont want to come here as she got addicted to it and couldnt get anything else done.
she apparently knows of similar other cases.

A Course In Miracles
by homesteader inis anyone here familiar with the book a course in miracles?
as i look back in retrospect this book was instrumental in the deprogramming of my mind from all the jw indroctination.
one of the most useful things i learned is to stop judging and you will not be judged, stop reviling and you will not be reviled.

Milk, Vaccines, and Carbohydrates
by Kaethra in(apologies for splitting this post up, but i cant seem to get my browser to allow me to post in paragraphs!
) since leaving jws i find i am much more willing to accept health care advice from the traditional scientific sources.
i get a little twitch when i hear someone say i read a book about that and so-and-so, the doctor saidya da ya da ya da (against traditionally accepted advice).

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.

Need Some Advice
by skeptikchick ini was just wondering if anyone could enlighten me with their experiences in regards to telling their parents about a serious relationship with a non-jw.
my boyfriend who i've been with for 2 years now and live with, does not know how to approach things when his mother (a very devout jw) comes to visit this summer.
we have separate rooms, and so we were thinking that we basically have two options.

Do you still shudder at the sight of a Elder?
by kls ini remember so long ago i thought elders were like a god and would always make sure i smiled at them and put on my innocent act in front of them .
even being out of the cult it took me years to finally get it through my head that they are human and not a god as they themselves think.
then one day a jw elder came to my door and at that time i had a newborn baby that i had been up with all night .
