I when back into my jw mindset today
by doublelife ini sneezed at work and one of my customers said "bless you.
" i wrote down a list of goals i want to accomplish and saying "thank you" when someone tells me "bless you" is on the list.
i froze and quickly censored myself and said "excuse me" instead.

by doublelife inmy mil just left.
she came over to discuss why i don't want to go to meetings anymore.

Minors going door-to-door
by doublelife ini just went to the silentlambs website and there is a link to criminalcheck.com where you can find registered sex offenders by zip code.
so i typed in the zip code of the territory from my old congregation and i was surprised at how many people popped up.
there was three pages of names and on almost all of those names i recognized the street address as one that i went door-to-door on.

by doublelife ini know it's not christmas yet but i got my christmas bonus from work and took him to the mall.
i had him pick whatever he wanted and told him it would be his christmas present and he still let me buy it.

I just read chapter 4 of Combatting Cult Mind Control and...
by doublelife inwow.
it's strange because even though i decided in sept that this is a false religion, it's still a little overwhelming to read this chapter.
if cult members have two identities, then where is my other identity?

I need help finding a 2009 article.
by doublelife ini went to lunch today with my mom and husband.
we started talking about religion.
i'm not going to go into everything we talk about but i told my mom that i found other religions that taught some of the same things the witnesses did and that they also preach like the witnesses.

Something I never thought of when I was in
by doublelife inwitnesses use the term 'publisher' instead of 'preacher' to describe their position in the congregation.
that should be a dead give away that they are salespeople working for a book publishing company verses preachers who are working for god.
i can't believe i never saw something this obvious.
