hey everybody, been here lurking for years now... i tired of all the gb 2.0 shit and need to fade successfullydo we have a guide, i am very tempted to go out with a bang, but i want my wife with me, she aint a strong witness and would happily trust me ... i love her a lot.

status as of now,,, read coc isocf, been through jw facts and am convinced this religion is bs, also a ms now :( damn.

I would also suggest going to Steve Hassan's website which is : www.freedomofmind.com and order his 3 books on cult mind control so that you can understand the totality of personality difficulties that your wife and you will experience in exiting the JW organization. It's a difficult psychological exit and Hassan's books have helped many of us here and elsewhere to understand more fully what we are going through in our exit. Titles of the books are as follows : 1. Combatting Cult Mind Control 2. Releasing the Bonds - Empowering People to Think for Themselves and 3. Freedom of Mind - Helping Loved Ones Leave Controlling People, Cults and Beliefs . If you do this it will be a great assistance to you and your wife I promise. Take care, Peace out, Mr. Flipper

How many of you think.......

by punkofnice in

..that the governing body are only in it for money and power?.

how many of you think the gb are all/some are sincere?.

okay, i know this has been asked before but i can't find the thread and there are newbies here.....and i like the sound of my own voice.

flipper

I think all of the upper echelon GB members and other power mongers who control the WT Society's goings on and finances know that it's all BS. I mean, you can see it on the smirk on Stephen Lett's face in his JW.org videos. They know they have a 136 year money maker going since 1879 and they aren't about to stop now

Another "damned if they do/don't" Thread & the Perpetual Motion Machine

by DarioKehl in

a few days ago, a jw apologist posted a thread with a similar title.

although he was defending their behavior, i've observed this cycle as well.

i have a different spin on it, though.. how often do you see posts from people who are upset that "no one even bothers to check in on me," only to read as many threads about "they keep calling & texting--why won't they leave me alone?

flipper

DARIO- Interesting thread, good subject, good thread. I don't know if very many of us make what I would call a " clean " exit, or an exit without repercussions. I mean- I guess if you exit the JW's and don't have ANY family or close friends inside- yeah, that's a pretty " clean " exit. But for most of us I imagine there is a price to be paid for gaining our freedom of mind back.

As regards what JW's think of us, even the expression " no good deed goes unpunished " can apply to us as ex-JW's even if we are on our best behavior ! LOL. I just had my JW daughter write to me telling me that " Satan keeps you so busy dad growing an organic vegetable garden doing hobbies you like such as playing music and guitar that you have no time going to meetings. " So even good things that we do and accomplish on our best behavior- JW's will find something wrong with ANYTHING that we do if we aren't attending meetings. LOL.

So I'm at the point that after 12 years out almost- I don't give a rats behind what any of them think of me. I know I'm a good person, and that's what counts. I'm good enough for me and those who really love me - not going to sweat about how JW's perceive me- it wastes too much of my time and energy and emotions. Kind of my 2 cents

Mentally Diseased - is it partly our fault that we got this label?

by cappytan in

jw
friends

i was thinking about this the other day.. a common way for apostates to "fade" is to pretend to have depression or anxiety problems.. is it possible, that when apostates become known, the elders report to the society that said person was undergoing mental health problems?

i can see a scenario where the society then took those statistics that were reported and just decided, "well, it looks like the only ones leaving are those with mental diseases.".

oh, and not to mention the subliminal messages conspiracy theorists.

flipper

It's not our fault in the LEAST. It's the fault of an organization that controls it's members through fear and guilt and the WT leaders imputing wrong motives to ANYBODY exiting the organization. WT leaders are the ones who make JW members crazy by their strict, relentless, and cruel, inhumane rules. It's like they keep JW's in cages like zoos keep animals in cages- but the only difference is WT leaders keep JW's in mental cages where they do not even know how to live in the real world. To fault the members for the abuse the WT leaders hand out is rather shallow thinking

Teddy Hero Worship Continues -- Sept 15 Study Edition Bio on Melita Jaracz

by LostGeneration in

very weird article, you can read it here if you can tolerate such nonsense:.

http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20150915/melita-jaracz-blessing-in-life/.

basically teddy was a super, duper spiritual giant who went undercover behind the iron curtain, sorta james bond like.

flipper

The quote : " Nice to see the 1950's photo of her posing with the awards she got for her skills at hair styling ".

With that thought in mind this next experience of mine is true : I was 10 years old and Jaracz and his wife Melita would stay at my mom and dad's house as my dad was the coordinator for the District Conventions and Circuit assemblies at the time, plus City Overseer. Every time they visited ( which was several times ) Melita always wanted to wash my hair even though I'm this 10 yr.old boy who didn't WANT his hair washed !

I would go talk to my mom privately and say " MOM ! I do NOT want this lady washing my hair as she scrubs my head so hard she takes my scalp off ! " My mom would just say, " Oh don't worry little Flipper she's just doing an act of love for you ! She's a hairdresser don't you know by trade ? She does it for a living . " I felt like telling my mom, " Look - If she's a damn hairdessser then I'm a Ninja soldier, and if she rubs my scalp any HARDER , I'm gonna go Ninja soldier on HER ! "

Seriously, it really DID hurt, I thought I'd have permanent scalp burn after this lady washed my head before cutting my hair. Fortunately, my hair grew out and I survived the experience. I can only imagine that being married to Ted Jaracz kind of made her take out her aggressions in bizarre ways. Who knows ? All she was - was another mind controlled cult member who was frustrated- nothing more, nothing less - even IF she considered herself something special being hitched to a GB member. Another cult weirdo is all I could see. One who gave me " scalp burn "

Ever been on a "snipe hunt"?

by kairos in

jw
friends

if you are a jw, that is.. "there's the kingdom over there!!

""armageddon is near""we're in the last of the last days""we will have three day conventions next year... jehovah willing""the work is speeding up""it's an invisible presence".

snipe hunt.

flipper

Good thread Kairos. Funny stuff . I actually WAS duped on a real snipe hunt when I was in my early 20's on a hiking trip in the woods with JW pioneers years ago who I pioneered with. It was pretty embarrassing. But hey, I don't take myself too seriously so I don't mind being the butt of a joke sometimes. LOL !

But I ended the WT or JW snipe hunt when I exited the organization back in 2003. Not going to be duped anymore by religious snipe hunts ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper
