Welcome aboard, Justmenthedogs! Glad to have you join us.
My biggest regret from being an ex-jw is that my grown kids are still in. I did that.
But, I decided I had to get on with my life, anyway.

Yay Mouthy! Thank goodness you are okay! I couldn't bear the thought that you might be alone on Christmas Eve...unless of course you wanted to be alone on Christmas Eve!!!
Love you!

I'm sorry to hear about the mess in Toronto. We had an ice storm in B.C. in 2007 but it was nothing like what you experienced, obviously.
I wonder how long it will take to get your city back to normal. My thoughts are with you, Torontonians!
Take care of yourselves and each other

I Have no TV, the electric was off for hours. We have a terrible Ice Storm.Have a Happy Christmas
I figure she sure could use a friend. She's always thinking of others, isn't she, wanting ME to have a Happy Christmas. I wish I could look in on her, but I'm in B.C. She needs to have a happy Christmas, too!

What Makes a Person Vulnerable to Join a Cult ? By Steve Hassan
by flipper inmost of us often wonder with amazement how we ever got caught up in the jehovah's witnesses mind control after having been out for awhile.
and we still wonder how some of our relatives stay trapped inside it.
well, steve hassans book " releasing the bonds " explains briefly in chapter 4 how it can happen.

<--- Born in. I figure that one has got to be the hardest because it's all I ever knew. Until I left, of course and began to discover all the things I wanted to do all my life, but never got the chance. Anything I wanted to do (like art and dance) I was told by my parents that I had to wait until the "new order" and there was much work to do before then! It was awful putting off my life until ... until ... until ... the time that never NEVER arrived.
But, I'm doing it now!

Ray Franz
by thedog1 inam reading coc at the moment, about half way through.
just finished reading some of the details of what happened in malawi and mexico years ago.
which reminded me that in the early 80's a very well known elder in the country i was then living in went to new york as he had discovered all the discrepencies between what had happened in malawi and in mexico and wanted to know what the gb had to say about it.

Reading C of C removed a veil from my eyes. After reading Ray Franz' book I no longer saw the WT organization as "god's channel" and that was such an eye-opener for me! After reading C of C I saw the WT society as nothing but a book publishing company who exploited its distributors by making them go door-to-door selling books and publications without pay. All the $$$ went into the WT coffers and the top brass lived like kings at its members expense.
It was easier for me to move on with my life and never look back at my perceived losses. I was so much better off after leaving I just knew I would never go back!

Thoughts on going back, am I the only one that feels this way?
by excaliber inhello everyone, i know you have heard this topic before and your probably thinking.
...not again lol.. but i was wondering if anyone has thought of going back for the same reasons as myself, i don't think its the truth but i searched and my conclusion is that other religions don't have the truth, they are all wrong in my opinion.
if there is no other religion to go too, why leave were i was born and raised.

creativespirit, just think about the reasons you left in the first place. Feel the feelings of discomfort that made you leave. You inner being/conscience could not tolerate going anymore and led you out of there.
Now, will you go against your own conscience --- which is truly spiritual, not religious --- to a belief system that your conscience is truly uncomfortable with? I figure you know too much to ever go back.
just sayin'
