  "sd-7 is no longer one of jehovah's witnesses.".

  i always imagined this day would come.

  i'm not sure exactly how i knew.

  Christopher,

  I'm glad you are identifying with the human race, rather than as "disfellowshipped" or "a former JW". You've learned so much about JWs, the Organization, thought control, why your religion was not "right". Now you can learn and grow in truly positive ways.

  Your newfound freedom can be used for so much good. Educate yourself in whatever subjects interest you. Stand for something - if nothing else at the moment, just be the best husband and father that you can be. At some point you may find yourself in the position to help others, to do good in meaningful ways.

  I honestly believe that you will be fine. Now crack open a root beer and give yourself a hard-earned pat on the back.

  This week's Bible Highlights, verbatim quote: "Jehovah is a Killer..."

  by Open mind in

  2. bible

  it's amazing what you notice when you go through the bible again with a changed worldview.

  this week's watchtower-assigned bible reading is the opening chapters of 1 samuel.

  this little gem just jumped off the page at me:.

  it's so full of slimy lies.. the argument that jehovah's witnesses are not cult members .

  Every Jehovah's Witness has a voice, and can suggest ideas to the main leaders. These ideas are read and a large majority of the time taken seriously and acted on.

  Huh. I must have missed the suggestion box all those years...

  Someone call Carl Jonsson and tell him to re-submit The Gentile Times Reconsidered! Maybe things will go better for him this time around...

  wide awake at 4 am

  by a whisker, i missed it being "that call", the one that changes your life forever.

  2 am, the phone, the sheriff, the 16 yo, the mishap on the road that, in the big picture, is really just a frikkin inconvenience and another goddamn output of money we dont have.... .

  i am pretty sure the hammering of my heart will ease up in a bit.

  What religion would you recommend for those who want to leave the WTS?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after i decide to leave the jehovah's witnesses one day,i will not look for a new religion.

  the damage that the wts has caused me leads me to mistrust all men and religion.. i trusted these men from the wts .

  i gave up 35 years of my life to find out that the wts is just a printing and real estate corporation disguised as a religion.
