Is My Wife Awakening?

every now and then, my wife will talk about how things are not making sense within the org.

i usually just dismiss it as her playing mind games with me.

for example, she would ask why there are so many branches being closed or why so many congregations are being merged.

My NAME IS OF NO CONSEQUENCE- Very interesting. Sounds like your wife is having " cracks in her spiritual armor " lol - good for her, seems like she's gradually waking up to reality. You are playing it smart. Don't give her too much, too soon. You're handling it well and I agree with Desirous of Change, don't push as it can cause her cult triggers and phobias to kick in, but honestly answer her questions if she asks your opinion - just be diplomatic in choosing your words carefully while respecting the fact that she's probably really sad and hurting inside within herself that the WT organization lied to her for years.

You are doing well . Keep the good work up buddy. Keep us posted man

"How to Reclaim Your Life..."

by Alexandra James in

hello, bon jour, aloha ... first time post here so feel free to move it or help me out in any way!

this seems to be the week for book releases, as i'm happy to announce my own new book, "how to reclaim your life when it's been stolen from you," is now on amazon:.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1985830345/.

ALEXANDRA- Good for you in wanting to assist people to move on from the cult Jehovah's Witnesses. Very true what you say- so many of us EX-JW's have issues in moving on from even a cult mentality or a controlled black and white , or an all or nothing thought process - to me it's impressive when anybody who has gone through these things writes a book to help others. Congratulations on your book release I'll have to check it out.

I've been out of the witnesses for over 14 years now, but life is a never ending learning process . It's always great to pick up new ideas. Good luck on the success of your book ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

I was quite tolerant of this guy until now

by never a jw in

president trump is definitely a demagogue, a populist, and not a great extemporaneous speaker, just to mention few of his more conspicuous flaws.

however, i was going along because "it's the economy stupid".

now that has changed.

As most of you know here- I've NEVER been tolerant of this guy ( Trump ). I've seen through his act right from the start. That doesn't make me any better than anyone else- it's just a nauseating shit show to have to be an eyewitness to 24 / 7 - 365 days a year.

But mark my words Karma is coming around the mountain to bite this guy in the ass and when the general public finally sees that the Mueller investigation never was fake news - hopefully the scales will fall from their eyes and see this unethical president for who he is : a criminal in the White House

Just ordered my new paperback version of the book last night from Amazon. Should receive it Wednesday. Big thanks are in order to Deborah for making this extremely important book available online for the public and exiting Jehovah's Witnesses. And a big thanks to Mike & Kim for allowing themselves to be the conduit to let us know about it on this particular forum. Thanks again, I look forward to re-reading this book again as it's probably been at least 10 to 12 years since I last read it. A toast and clink of glasses to freedom of mind , freedom of expression , and freedom of life

Goodbye my friends.

for almost 12 years now, i have been coming to this site on a regular basis and in the last 5, i “faded out”.

i never regretted this and never will.

unfortunately though, yesterday, i realized that, until i can publically tell all my old acquaintances why i have left, i will never be truly free.

flipper

STEPHANE- Nice to have you back ! I know it was always funny when the poster Outlaw used to post on these types of goodbye threads from various people - he'd always put up some funny cartoon and say " you'll be back , see ya soon ! "

And it's true like others say- many of us ex-JW's DO receive a lot of mental and emotional support here- including myself. As Stillin said, it's not the worst place you could be. Take care friend, we are here for you, Peace out, Mr. Flipper

What if ... a GB member announced he was no longer anointed??

by msecodo in

what if a gb member all-of-a-sudden thought he was no longer anointed??.

what could possibly happen?

?.

" What if a GB member all of a sudden thought he was no longer anointed ? "

One might think that he had regained his sanity as there's no such thing as being " anointed " in the first place.

" What could possibly happen " ?

Who knows, perhaps he'd come to see TTATT and see it's all BS and leave the JW organization and escape and enjoy freedom of mind. One can only hope

Thanks Scenic Viewer, I didn't watch the whole video- just bits and pieces. Appreciate the info. So I'll mark my calendar for March 6th. Again, thanks. Peace out, Flipper

Thanks for the news ! Now the million $$$ question- Is this new version of the book available online yet ? And hopefully not priced at $ 150.00 to freaking $ 300.00 ?

I just checked Amazon and it's not on there. Where might some of us purchase this book ( seeings how I loaned out my original copy to someone and never got it back ) ? Thanks !

Peace out, Mr. Flipper

If I were still of the anointed . . .

by compound complex in

greetings, earth-bound friends:.

i guess at this point in life, given what we all now know, we no longer harbor any delusions of grandeur.

my temporary insanity, which i've written about on other threads, was that assurance of being in heaven with jehovah and jesus and the other 143,999 kings and priests.

Hey CoCo- You mentioned something in your opening thread about being in Bethel in 1970. I'm sending you a PM in a few minutes . You might have known a couple of my relatives who were there at the same time ! I'll give you the skinny in a private E-mail. Hope to communicate soon
