On my own now
by dazednotconfused inhi everyone - i have posted only a couple times here but felt the urge to let loose a little bit today.
i am 41 years old, and after being brainwashed for the last 35 years, i can no longer continue as a jw - i have not been inside a kingdom hall in over a year, my friends and family have shunned me and i have very few associates outside of "the truth".. now i am not here to cry and feel sorry for myself.
but i would like to hear from some who are/were in a similar situation.

dogmatic statement on e-watchman
by Dr Zhivago inover on e-watchman's forum there was a discussion about the harlot riding the beast of revelation.
one poster stated that because the harlot was riding the beast it proved she was in control of the beast.
now, i grew up on a farm and we had all sorts of animals.

You chance to be heard!
by pratt1 inhere's the scenrio:.
you have the captive audience of all the witlesses that you have associated with and loved in the past (including family members) but now shun you, for 5 minutes.. you most chose one and only one topic to proved that their religion is false and not based on love.. 1. who would you pick to be part of this audience?.
2. what topic would you choose to discuss?

Santa Clause, Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy...
by changeling ini recall witnesses saying how evil wordly parents were by "lying" to their children about these characters.
how witness children were fortunate that their parents always told them the truth.. so, i wonder, have you ever met an adult who was messed up because of having found out that santa clause and friends were not real?
are therapist's couches everywhere filled with these poor souls?

Is it true that the WT uses hypnosis covertly during KH meetings?
by seatrout ini personally am a sceptic regarding the validity of hypnosis as a form of mind control.
i associate it with entertainment tricks pulled by stage performers.. i never experienced any weird happenings during my only two visits to a kh.
is anyone able to refute me?

Most Ex-JWs R Not Active in the Anti-JW Community. Maybe 1%? Any thoughts?
by Seeker4 inyesterday i called a family on the west coast that were in my congregation 18 years ago.
between parents, kids and marriage partners, there were six of them who had been witnesses.
they have all faded, and have had nothing to do with the witnesses for at least 15 year or more.. yet, none of them is in any way active even in looking at the ex-jw sites online.

WHY THE LONG..................................SILENCE???
by Terry inthe jews were isolated, insular and anti-progress until the invasions and conquests of alexander's armies forced them into a new world of philosophy, science, logic and semantics.. in less than a century after alexander came and went, the jews were speaking greek and not hebrew!.
they weren't just speaking greek!
they were thinking greek!.

i wonder
by bigdreaux ini didn't want to hijack the wanderer's new thread about weather the w.t.s.
should be held accountable for shunning, but, in reading it, a thought flashed across my little brain.
he pointed out that apostates that picket conventions are usually the worst kind of "apostates" they usually seem angry and uneducated.
