  What's The Point?

  by AllTimeJeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's been 12 years since i submitted my resignation letter, and stopped playing by their rules.. in a spurt of manic rationality, i blew up the bridge, sky high.

  knowing that the diseased organ would need to be forever removed, away from anything remotely functional in my mind, body, and soul.

  lest i be tempted to return.... so, i left.

  Giving the GB a Windows Version Name

  by AllTimeJeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't know which version of gb we are on.

  (also unknown, which "old light" doctrines they changed to conveniently fortify their own position, when i was at gilead in 2005, i called them 2.0 because the last of the old guard was dying off.. for those associated with "ancient" history, windows started to come in their own with 3.0 and 3.1 in the early 1990s.

  that is, until windows 95 happened, and the ubiquitous start button was first introduced.

  Motives Matter

  there is a difference between the leadership of the borg (gb 2.5, is that what they're on now?

  ) and the sheeples, that for a variety of reasons, stick with this nonsense.. not every jw publisher believes this stuff.

  the gb knows this.

  Boundaries

  by AllTimeJeff in

  this post hopefully will get you thinking about therapy, along with good mental and emotional health if you are dealing with the traumatic choices associated with leaving jw's, or if you are considering leaving.

  because it is a trauma.. imagine a married couple in their late 30's.

  because they took last weeks watchtower seriously, they have decided to talk to an elder in their congregation because they have practiced oral sex on each other, and feel a need to confess and get "spiritual help.".

  Healing

  by AllTimeJeff in

  among the many ways that jehovahs witnesses leadership strangle a person is primarily through the taking of your identity.

  for cults and high control groups, of course this is how it's done.

  but once you leave, finding out who you really are, and living a life of authenticity is usually quite challenging.. i have learned since my exit in 2006 that it is healthy to learn about who you are.

  Hello JW Lurkers. Did you watch Leah Remini's show? Or her interview? It's here...

  by AllTimeJeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  substitute "jehovah's witnesses" for every time leah says "scientology".

  it's a cult folks.

  please watch the interview below.. "you should always talk to someone who was in, because, if you don't get the nomenclature 100% correct, we have a way of kind of discrediting you if you're not using it correctly.".

  "Those Who Leave Are Doomed..."

  by AllTimeJeff in

  in mission impossible 3, ethan hunt (aka tom cruise) and his protege (aka keri russell) have an explosive pellet implanted in their heads through their nose by the bad guys as a way to control them.

  the only way to to stop it from detonating is to use a defibrillator or some device to send massive electric shocks to the body, thus short circuiting the deadly implant.

  hunt's protege doesn't get the help she needed in time, and she dies.

  I finally updated my @!#$* avatar. It's really Truthy...

  by AllTimeJeff in

  i am officially into truthiness.

  colbert never presented a more prescient commentary than this one..... i remember when i first joined, i saw colbert's "truthiness" and laughed.

  i had no idea that the small bands of truth and facts were actually held together by the large fog of "belief".. no matter what you or anyone chooses to believe, i hope for all our sake, and especially in this context, for jw's who have left or have considered leaving, that we leave room in both our heads and hearts to facts, not just what feels good, but what is true.

  This Is Why We Call It the Borg, And Why You Can Still Find Your Voice

  by AllTimeJeff in

  one voice can be stronger than a thousand voices.

  your mind is independent now.

  with its own unique identity.

  No Longer a JW Expert But Starting to Figure Out Life

  by AllTimeJeff in

  2. friends

  consider this an update for those that remember me here.... when i left in 2006, it started a 10 year journey into a new phase.

  no more "safety".

  some people want to be their own person.
