Apostates At War With Jehovah's Delusional Organization Strategy
by frankiespeakin inas the "truth about the truth' (delusional thinking bible interpetations) becomes more wide spread and the rate of jws leaving the clutches of the wt corporation increases a war/battle results, it is true some are just happy to get out with no need to inflict any retaliatorial injury to the corporation that held them hostage through deciet.
many on the other hand want to get their families out of this cult and a restoration of their good name from the cruel slander of an organization that has made a fortune off of their free labor and now forbids it members to have anything to do with them causing a great loss in former friends and family members.
is retailiation in order for these offenses?

I really need some help to get out of this religion
by doughnutkitty inhi, i've been lurking on this site for quite a while after recently having doubts about the "truth".
i've read a lot of posts about problems with the doctrines, mind control, the beliefs, brainwashing that jehovah's witnesses and their literature, as well as their history.
now only being a sixteen year old born in who isn't baptized or unbaptized, i've come to find all this information incredibly overwhelming.

EXACTLY WHAT are JEHOVAHS WITNESSES witnessing TO ??? THAT OTHER RELIGIONS AREN`T
by smiddy inany and every religion that preaches the bible,prints the bible ,distributes the bible and highlights the bible as the word of god ,certainly cannot be called anything but a witness of god,who by all accounts , certainly in mainstream religion recognise the name of god as jehovah / yahweh.. it is not a name that is exclusive to jehovahs witnesses , many christian religions identify with that name.
so jehovah`s witnesses have no reason to boast they are gods chosen people in this 21st century when they clearly cannot be seperated from other religions claiming the same things.in fact their failed"expectations"i purposely do not use the word prophecy when they made their pronouncements that never came to fruition too many to mention here .in fact many other religions have never fallen into the trap the witnesses have in making predictions/expectations that never materialized,.and their have been many.. smiddy.

JW family trying to compensate for us being "spiritually weak" through increased activity
by cedars inhi folks.
one of the things that has been most frustrating for my wife and i since beginning our fade as been the way certain family members have responded by ramping up their own involvement in the organization seemingly in a bizarre attempt to compensate for our lack of activity.. close relatives who were once doing precious little study and weren't going out of their way to attend meetings or go on the ministry are now studying every morning and busting a gut to attend "theocratic" arrangements.. it makes no sense to me, because salvation is supposed to be based on the beliefs and actions of each individual, not on those of his or her loved ones.
just what is the logic by which they think they can make things better by doing more themselves?.

Bait and switch at baptism
by Narcissistic Supply inbait and switch at baptism may be appalling to some but its the ticket to prosperity for the publishing company.it blows my mind that people will fall victim to a corporation that doesnt even exist in most states.. they can drag you in to superior court for breach of contract if you dont abide by their bait and switch at baptism????
did you promise to pay them any money when they put your head under water and tricked you????.
no i dont think so!!!

Who Taught You The Truth(tm) OR Who Counted Time, On You?
by LoisLane looking for Superman inmy mom's lover would bring his handsome youngest son, to our house, and along with my dad, would study with my brother, sister and i. wed 7 pm.. next an elder's wife, who was a regular pioneer and worked part-time, who had a daughter my age, came to our house, after school wed. ruth was the head of the house and wore the pants.
her husband was part of the 3 men who sat on all judicial committees in our congo and would tell ruth everything, which in turn ruth would tell the sister's.
ruth was very pious but at the age of 15 gave birth to her only child, and beat on her daughter all the time, never letting her forget what "trouble" her only daughter caused her.
