  OND,

  I think you have made a good choice. If you keep your brain active and really understand why things are nonsense and can explain it in your own words when you exit you will more likely stay out for good.

  I was a full on JW, now I am a full on Apostate soon to exit with fanfare. Thats me and what I need to deprogram. Everyone is different though. Do what is best for you without hurting others. Keep coming here to get advice. You migh find my recent thread interesting, take a look if you like.

  Click on my name 70wksfyrs--------> then click at the top of the page Topics started------------> then click on "I want out, but I am still in"

  Take care, I am off to the meeting now

  All my warm love

  70wks...... xxx

  Dear Simon,

  I want to give you a great big public THANK YOU!!!!

  JWN has been instrumental in my deprogramming. I still have many lingering behaviours, like reading the days text. Why???????????????? I know the answer, indoctrination. So if I know the answer why am I reading it every morning. The comments are nonsense most of the time and the scripture is usually misapplied.

  It is is a habit that we just do on auto drive. So to get me out my habit, JWN is my new days text.

  Thank you Simon very much indeed. xxxxxxx

  All my warm love to you 70wksfyrs xxxxxx

  How has Simon helped you here at JWN?

  Yes I prepare for all the meetings, just done the WT for tomorrow. Like searcher said when you know TTATT you see it from a different perspective. Its actually quite entertaining how stupid some of the indoctrination is.

  In para 7 and 14, they were really heavy about not listening to negative speech, and on the whole it was making JWs feel unworthy and imperfect.

  I wil be making sure my son knows which parts are nonsense and we do maths during the public talk

  hehehehehe

  Hello..this is my story..

  by Lozhasleft in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm pleased to have found this site...i've browsed a little ...read quite a lot and gasped at some stories, giggled at the one liners and nodded in recognition of others' strong opinions and can relate to a great deal.. i'll try and keep my intro as brief as possible for anyone kind enough to listen.. i got involved with the witnesses in the late 70's in the uk.

  i was in my early 20s and had had a love and fascination for the bible since my difficult childhood.

  i soon brought my life into 'line' although it took a long time for me to pack up the smoking which didnt go down well in those days when 6 months of study should have been enough and if you hadnt cracked it then it was suggested that you were some kind of loser.... i reared my 4 children in the 'truth' as well as i could but i cant claim that we were a 'strong' family in their terms...just muddled along really..my husband at the time was a very difficult and abusive man and home life wasnt easy for any of us with his anger, jealousy and violence.

  Loz,

  Thanks for inviting me to read this. Its so close to my story you wouldnt believe. We are in the UK too. My son at 11 says he wants to live with me because his dad is violent and drinks too much, but I keep on telling him not to treat women how his dad does. He tells me now he wont, I do hope he doesn't treat me how your adult boys treated you.

  How is your relationship with them now compared to 3 years ago when you first wrote this?

  Spirituality versus Religion

  there seem to be many ways to explain the difference.

  the one below seems moderate - even neutral.

  your thoughts?.

  cofty

  You said

  I am moved by music and poetry and art.

  Can you see them with arms and legs when they move you? Do they pick you up or push you? Do they move you far away? Are you awake when they move you? Do ghosts move you too?

  New JW Bible nickname

  by JWOP in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i had a face to face conversation with an active jw today.

  i was informed that they congregations don't like the new bible being referred to as the "gray bible", so some are starting to refer to it as the silver sword.. .

  cofty-I think its a psychological reaction. If they have a new bible they will do more hours on the mino. New work toys make me feel happier in the lab so I love my job more, maybe its the same with new bibles

  Its a theory

  new video on jw.org about world headquarters

  by hoser in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok so i watched the video and at about 07:25 the brother says that building 1.5 million square feet of construction in less than 4 years will not be done without jehovahs spirit.. .

  is that such a big deal 1.5 million square feet in 4 years?.

  merch mart in chicago took less than 2 years to build 4 million square feet.

  The GB love the 100's of brothers helping and seeing Jehovah's spirit bless the building of their retirement homes.

  I think I am going to get reinstated and become annointed and tell the GB Jehovah has blessed the additon of a woman to the GB this is new light because I know this as I am annointed. Some circular reasoning there.

  Anyone think it will work?
