While the Lamb of God wasn't born this time of year (September actually) it was this time of year that the three wise men were able to locate him. Which means for practical purposes this Holly Day is close enough for celebratory reasons.
Best wishes to all y'all in the Whole Wide World! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!
He came and gave his life for us because he loves the Whole World of People. He will manage to save all of them (and us) too! That is pretty good news.
please tell me how not to think too much and get a good night sleep.
when i was a jw i didn't think too much because i knew everything, but now my mind works overtime.
how in the hell can i shut it down and stop the anxiety???
The sense of "confidence" which the High Control WTBorg Cult Inc. instills in the minds of its followers penetrates deeply into the psyche. It seems that almost all who find their way out of The Cult experience some degree of uncertainty anxiety and doubt while "deprogramming" from what once was a very comfortable zone of exclusivity where one just knew that they had found the narrow path and happily were part of the small group who would survive the extermination with the reward of paradise.
Discovering that there is a Real Truth quite a lot different than the belief that billions will die forever at Armageddon brings much relief. Knowing that The Word tells us that ALL will be saved and ALL will be given healing and health as well as an eternal life removes the doubt and uncertainty residue from the WTBorg Cult Inc. High Control Programming. Then a feeling of true compassion and empathy towards those still trapped in The Cult takes hold and one is able to treat them with kindness while sleeping peacefully at night knowing that even they will be saved.
We're all in the same boat because we all have our problems and our demons. The Plan for the Whole Creation takes all of that into account.
i have noted that the irritable part of me got the better of me when posting about j f rutherford.
i acknowledge that a few on here have pointed out flaws in my reasoning and the way i reason.
and i agree with them.

You've all said it well.
what do you sincerely think?
do you nurture any hope?.
Many are not able to see the abundant "proofs" since their eyes have not yet been opened. That many do not believe is not held against them. All will be pleasantly surprised when they awaken from the "long sleep" to find themselves in the midst of those made alive again.
In spite of our numerous shortcomings and our bad choices we are all loved and will all be re-shaped into what we were intended to be. The Training Program includes slightly different paths for the Sheep and the Goats but, thankfully, all will be accommodated and prepared to enjoy the coming lifetime without end. Some of us will have considerable "debt" to repay but we'll be helped every step of the way.
When the time is right all of our eyes will be opened.
hello to all pomos, pimos and lurkers!
i would firstly like to introduce myself, as i should have done in my initial post.
i will remain anonymous for this website.
Quote from Pomo 6780
That was a well worded comment. You're jumping to a conclusion that I was initially passing judgment and old habits die hard? You're hugely mistaken.
It was actually just an observation with respect to many X-Jws. The learned feelings and behaviors of exclusivity as part of "The Truth" and the proclivity to pass judgment on others as being less privileged in the eyes of God, or less righteous in their walk, seem to survive learning TTATT. I suppose it is a testament regarding the depth of the "programming" to look down on those deemed Worldly.
it's me again...with the question, if trump is impeached, the alternative is pence....well, it's not really a question but your thoughts...... who is he ?
& where did they find him ?
thoughts..... tor.
It is all a well managed show. As are all things which emanate from the District of Columbia.
It seems to be having the desired effect. Such is the power of Mind Control.

chapter 50. life after death.
since i had been in a religion that was focused on death.
it was now time to focus on life.. the wonderful line from shawshank redemption says it so well.
Can you blame her?
No, she can't be blamed. She was tricked and trapped. If only she had known TTATT before becoming entangled with the witness. And yes, she will have everlasting life.

Question from New Boy:
First did god kill the baby because it got a blood transfusion to drive the point home to the disobedient husband?
I don't believe so. It may have been the prolonged delay in administering the potentially life saving blood. How very sad. The baby must have had a very serious condition.

Yep, the urge to pass judgment on those we deem to be our inferiors is one that dies hard. The indoctrination was wicked but certain aspects of it seem to continue to produce pleasurable sensations.
The Judge was very good at what he did judgmentally. The cult lives on even outside the cult!
my wife (unstuck) just saw a new 2-3 min video in her ex jw facebook feed, depicting a "paradise" scene preview.. it was complete with aerial shots and slow motion montages, with moving music.. scriptures were quoted across the screen, such as rev 21:3,4. i shazamed the music, and it came from another "worldly" album called "world of dreams.future world music" (you should see the song titles from that album!).
is it an official wt video, or some private persons production?.
if it is official, they seem to have once again resorted to desperate emotional manipulation tactics..... anyone else know?
The question asked:
Will you be there?
is a good one.
It has a splendid answer too. The witnesses will be shocked to discover that yes, they will be there, among the very great crowd of everybody else. That has always been the plan. We have much to learn on the way there.
