That One Defining Moment That Changed Your Life.
by new boy init seems that many times in life there is a moment or an action that changes your whole world.
it could be just a look that someone gives you.. many times it can be something rather small.
something hardly noticeable by anyone but you.

Listening to David Attenborough describe the 'creation' of worms which cause river blindness versus 'creation' such as butterflies or beautiful flowers.
Sitting in my living room in December 2002 saying to myself 'I'm out the truth'. Took me 3 further years to leave.
In this clip, his chat is nesr the end....

You know it's time to give up the JW religion when your route call tells you to
by jambon1 inlasting memory of the latter period of time in the organisation:.
i had a route call with the magazines whom i'd called on for a number of years.
eventually when i become a parent i became consumed with negativity, doubt (blood issue) & depression.

For those asking, no, I never saw the woman again. She wasn't old. She was in her 50's.
I probably should've wrote a card. Actually I had many, many nice regular calls. But when I left I didn't look back. I ran. With absolute no desire to have any link to that part of my life at all.
I probably regret the way I left actually. I would've served others well had I taken the time to write letters to those who would've benefitted from them.

Nice comments.
It makes me feel for those still in that desperately want to be free.
At one time, the feeling of wanting to live a normal life and get to choose who I have in my life instead of having those in the cong forced upon you, was at fever pitch in me. It was like a burning desire. Until I got the strength to leave I was utterly miserable.
Now a decade on, I've carved out a lovely life and friends group and my outlook on life is like night and day. I can't begin to imagine living a single day in their 'spiritual' routine. It nearly killed me man.

Lasting memory of the latter period of time in the organisation:
I had a route call with the magazines whom I'd called on for a number of years. Eventually when I become a parent I became consumed with negativity, doubt (blood issue) & depression. I would call on this lovely older lady and kind of confided in her about being very low, depressed even. I had no one else to turn to.
I remember one day she said "Jambon, can I be honest with you for a minute? I read these magazines that you give me and I feel that it's your religion they may be depressing you. Your religion tends to focus on very negative, heavy issues. You're a young man. You have a lovely, healthy little family. You should be fillied with optimism and you should be enjoying the best days of your life. I think you need to give consideration to the possibly that your religion may be a big factor".
Of course, I was embarrassed and she was very kind and apologised for speaking out of turn.
That woman confirmed what I subconsciously knew already. The religion had dragged a bright, young, successful man in his mid twenties down to the gutter of low self esteem, negativity and depression.
I left the religion 6 months later.

Why is religion in general so obsessed with what people choose to do with their willies and vaginas?
by jambon1 inwhat was it in the evolution of religion that got them so hung up about what people do with their genitalia?.
i mean, the (mis)use of genitalia is up there with murdering another human being in terms of badness.. and in the 21st century, we have a situation where in the jw religion, it's deemed as acceptable for three middle aged/old men to sit a teenage girl down and ask her the details of her use of her genitals.
to any normal person this is intrusive, completely inappropriate and bordering on deviancy.. why they so obsessed?.

The cleaning bug
by Steel ini have a wife that literally cleans the house 24 7. it's hard on our marriage, our son has no natural affection for her.
if we go to an assembly she literally spends two days waxing and polishing the car.
she hand washes all the clothes before go into the washing machine because no machine could ever do as good a job as her.

I'm glad they're pushing the shunning thing.
Deep in their hearts they know it's completely immoral and actually quite evil.
The more the leaders put the pressure on, the more will question the 'rightness' of it.
It must be absolute torture to try to defend it. Whenever I raise it, they want the conversation ended straight away.

It was never, ever, a warning work, was it?
by jambon1 inmost witnesses i knew were exteeemly reluctant to go out in the ministry.
but when they did, they were simply scraping by, eager to avoid conflict and just do their hour or so speaking to lonely old ladies or widowed old men.
placing magazines in a car group, doing route calls, plodding along in the utter boredom of their responsibility to get some time on a report by the last day of the month.. this was never a warning work.

This was NEVER a warning work. At no point did you ever see the urgency that they'd speak about at assemblies etc. Warning people of gods judgment and their need to repent and get baptised, like those who saw a house burning and how they'd draw the comparison with how you'd rush around screaming, warning, doing everything possible to save lives.
The witness work was a tepid, ridiculous charade that people went through.
Do they really believe that the work they're doing involves the eternal lives of each person they find?
If they do, they're shit at it.
