What did you learn as a JW that helps you in your work today
by Lady Lee innote: if you are cautious about being outted then be very careful what you post.. the biggest thing i learned was sign language.
after i left i had a few jobs interpreting.. public speaking - didn't help me at all - that could be because speaking to someone else on the platform doesn't gives women an opportunity to address the audience.
i took a intro course in public speaking that was far better than 22 years of the ministry school.. i'm thinking .

Happiness and the minds of JW's
by megaflower inif god is termed "the happy god" and he truly wants people to be happy, even in the present sense, then why are so many witnesses unhappy, miserable deep down inside, popping who knows what kind of prescription pills, and even driven to the point of suicide?
can witnesses ever truly measure up?
we've been told: "the new system will take care of everything"; "don't get an education in the world"; "don't save for retirement".

How's this for twisted thinking
by freedomfighter inmany of us have most likely had to listen to a talk that has a statement like this - .
" imagine when you are in the new system in a beautiful place, you will be able to look back and think ' wow!
i had a good share in the preaching work and was part of fulfilling mat 24:14".

The difficulty of recovering from JW teachings
by DT init's difficult to free yourself from years of cult influence.
i'm concerned that i may still be suffering from hidden assumptions that i haven't considered.
i'll have to examine my thinking for the rest of my life, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.. it would be easier if we could reject everything we were taught, but that's not really possible.

you plunge your hand in, hoping to grab it and begin the call.
