  I used to be a "real witness", then i discovered that i had been lied to all my life and i'd had my head up my arse for 40 years, ... if you discovered you'd lived your whole life with your head up your arse wouldnt you want to remove it and smell some fresh air for once?

  The freedom is awesome.

  A Toast to Windchimes

  by DarioKehl in

  i recently researched on jw dot org why toasts are not allowed.

  in the article, they candidly admit that wedding bands also have pagan origins, but their modern understanding trumps this fact since they serve another function: signifying whether or not a person is married.

  same with neck ties, i guess (although their pagan origins were not mentioned in the article).

  I used to ask these sort of questions when i was in, my brain didnt like the fact that it made no sense, but sadly it wasnt enough to drive me to do enough research.

  'no one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends.'.

  many have been hurt by the practice of shunning.

  family members, [former?

  Sorry, But Your Sad Story Doesn't Make Me Feel Better. Is it supposed to?

  by Tempest in a Teacup in

  i have very recently come out of a bout of severe depression which lasted for years.

  i have ginormous underlying issues which i hardly talk about, especially to my family.. today my sister came in, wanting to force me to do something she wanted.

  her strategy was to make me feel bad for feeling bad, just to show me that my problem (which she has no idea of but thinks she does) wasn't the biggest in the world.

  Thinking others have it worse and i should have little to complain about actually does work for me, but only in a normal mental state, when i was suicidal it would not have helped one little bit.

  I dont know what does help in that state tbh, i scared myself with increasingly intrusive thoughts of suicide that i went to the doc and got some happy pills about 8 years ago. I resolved to be on them the shortest possible time and then quit, for me that was 6 months and it was still a bit too soon to quit, but by then i had a handle on my thinking and monitored my own moods and thoughts enough to push thru it. I've never looked back, I am the happiest i have ever been in my whole life now.

  I dont know what the answer is and i doubt there is a magic bullet one size fits all. The answer may be chemical, it may be psychological or a combination of approaches, but you are the person best placed to understand and analyse yourself. One thing that does help is to listen to the tape you play yourself in your head, really tune in and listen to it, if what you tell yourself is mostly negative then you are the only one who can change that tape and with effort and practise you can do so.

  Good luck....

  I think jwtv and this bunch of GB getting lots of air time is going to do the job of making people wake up quite well on their own....

  he had a human father.. all those doctrines of redemption, ransom and forgiveness come to nothing in the face of reality.

  Help prevent sons indoctrination.

  by WasOnceBlind in

  ok so here is the deal, as some of you who might have read my first post might remember, my parents are jw's while i myself have faded.

  i have not told them that i don't believe in the borg and i have done my research and concluded it's a bunch of crap.

  the main reason i haven't is because it would break my moms heart and probably send her into a deep depression (she suffers from depression).

  No. The simpler solution is to lay ground rules for your parents when they look after him. He is your child not theirs, if you say no cult propaganda then no cult propaganda it is...

  If that is a scary conversation to think about, then think about your child succumbing to the bullshit and becoming indoctrinated instead.

  Stress on young ones

  i had a horrible conversation with my 14 year old last night which i regret.

  im still in but doubting more and more every day.. she is recently baptized.

  she is outgoing and gorgeous and make friends easily, although not so much with the sisters in our hall, who pick her up and drop her again regularly , leaving her out of parties etc but then bringing her back into the circle, dropping her again...and so on.

  Caring too much what other people think is socially crippling, i've done it most of my life and it is no way to live.

  http://waitbutwhy.com/2014/06/taming-mammoth-let-peoples-opinions-run-life.html

  Being a JW is all about being judgemental and fitting in, difference isnt encouraged, individuality isnt encouraged, sameness is.

  When I learnt TTAT and quit the JWs, almost overnight I became far less judgemental and more tolerant.

  Go easy on yourself though, it takes time to shake off the cult persona.

  Questions for those that believe in Electricity

  you can't see electricity or hear it or feel it.

  well, there are sparks and lightning bolts and heating elements and the light and heat of filaments.

  and somehow, it lights up neon in a tube.
