by ÁrbolesdeArabia injanuary 13, 213 magazine focus is avoding anything that could lessen your "christian activity".

SoCF chapter 17 ...
by sosoconfused ini think this passage sums things up for me in a way that my own words never could.
as i started my exodus and began to see how we were all forced to fit into this wierd bubble of conformity - i began to get ill and feel that anything i did or wanted outside of the rank and file view was just evil.... .
but these words as i read them sum things up in a way i think most people looking at leaving feel:.

by dissonance_resolved ini'm a born in, baptized as a young teenager, whole family is jw.

nightmare about saran wrapped roast beef
by sosoconfused injust had a flashback of my mother forcing me to eat a rotten roast beef sandwich at the district convention.. i remember her telling me jehovah would not provide us with bad food and how ungrateful i was.
she literally told me if i wasted jehovahs provisions she would "slap my face off"..... for the love of god a roast beef sandwich sitting out in the hot yankee stadium sun all day... i really wonder what could cause someone to be so insane.

WT Society holds EXTREME Responsibility for 1975 and False Expectations
by flipper inhowever- many jw's who have come into the jw organization from like 1985 forward virtually may have no knowledge of the wt society's 1975 debacle and false predictions of the end times or armageddon predictions.
just like in in the book 1984 by george orwell the wt society has a way of not only erasing it's history so no newer witnesses will be aware of their false predictions, but also they are re-writing their history as if those false predictions never happened.. so for those of you here who may have never read or heard of how whipped up into an emotional frenzy witnesses were in the years just before 1975 by the wt society claiming the end was any day now- this threads for you.
to see the pressure that was put on jw's by the wt society to get rid of everything before " armageddon " .

How to use disfellowshipping as a way to bring them to the light
by sosoconfused inso after i stepped down and began to be the cynical young angry ex-elder in the hall a few brothers decided to have a surprise shepherding call.. they asked me what had me down, i said nothing.
i am actually very happy right now.
then one brother says, "i think you are forgetting what makes us so special in the first place... we obey god as ruler... rather then men.

later, i learned he and his wife had faded, and both of his grown sons know ttatt as well.. .
