  Hi,

  so sorry to learn of your current situation. It just goes to show that you never know what is going on in another poster's life. We all have disagreements on these boards and tend to forget what else the other poster is going through.

  You seem to be dealing with a lot of shit right now and there is no shame in being tired of that. I can fully understand your feelings about the Witnesses, and the ignorance is bliss routine. Because ignorance is bliss. If I had the chance to re-live the situation I found myself in then I would have hoped never to learn of the other side, and the exposer of WT lies. I often think that. Wouldn't it be nice to just live for a new life, in the new system, everybody lives happily ever after? Well, we have reached the point of no return. If you go back, you will just feel more empty still.

  I look around sometimes I wonder what I have to look forward to, and, like you, it is the hope of something better, something greater in life; this hope drives us and helps us get through life. You are not being punished for anything, you have just been the victim of real bad luck in life. It's easy for me to say that there are people in far worse situations but this doesn't help you right now; but moving away from your troubles at home is a good start, you owe it to yourself. This day will pass.

  I hope everything works out for you

  Hi Slimboy, thank you, THANK YOU! Your post has given me hope that my package may still be ok! I got somebody else to post it and when they told me how cheap it was I thought 'wow, that is cheap to Australia' - maybe that is why! They chose surface mail! There is light at the end of the tunnel now, and yes, I am a cheapskate.

  As for the youtube problem, I dont think it has been resolved, since I tried to post a video and nothing came up. It's a pain in the arse on here to use Firefox though.

  Hi,

  I know exactly how you feel. Once you leave the WT, it gets ever so lonely. People that have never experienced life in the Witnesses haven't got a clue about what it is like, they just dont get it. But we do get it, so stick here for a while because everybody here understands what you are saying.

  Don't let the WT win, fight them and take back your life. I nice book you may want to read about this is 'Combating Cult mind control' by Steven Hassan. He is a great author and his books are superb. Another of his is 'Releasing the Bonds'. These helped me and still do when I feel low.

  I am not full of great advice and wish I could give you a miracle cure to help you. Just stay strong and keep posting here, we want to hear from you. Read some of the experiences by people on here in the 'experiences' section, they really help. We have all been through so much, but you are with friends now.

  Thanks guys, I dont send recorded or signed for because I am so tight, trying to save myself a few pence. Now I have lost a lot more! Agghhh damn the post. Customers are asking 'please begin tracking', but here in the uk, we dont have tracking; you just put your faith in a little red box and hope that the dodgy mail sorters won't pocket your package!

  I really do hate IE7, i'll rant more later!

  Also, IE7 is the most unresponsive, useless pile of horseshit I have ever come across.

  Thankyou, rant over. Go about your daily business. Have a nice day

  If WTS said 1+1=3 would JW's accept it, would you have? (mind control ?)

  by jwfacts in

  2. beliefs

  a phenomenon of cult mind control is that followers are not to qustion what the leaders say, regardless of how unrealistic or contary to human experience.

  consider the following watchtower concepts that jws accept without question.

  these are common concepts that any jw could (but does not) prove to be either wrong or straight out lies.. there was a huge increase in earthquakes in the 20th centuryjehovah will kill billions of people because he is a god of lovethe wts correctly foretold the events of 1914the watchtower never suggested 1975lions used to be vegetarian before the flood and will be in the new systemso if the watchtower wrote that 1+1=3 would you have believed it.

  I'm not too sure whether I would or not. I remember taking most of their crap in but sometimes the rational parts of my brain kicked in. For instance, we once had a Kingdom Ministry article on the dangers of the internet which I sat through shaking my head. There were other things as well that I did not agree with; so I guess I would not have believed something so blatant as 1+1=3

  Without doubt the curry. I had my first ever taste of curry at the assembly and I was a born again believer.
