I'm bored and drinking alone. Done these threads before, they turned out pretty good and lasted for a while.

Was it against the law for you to touch your winky?
Why did you leave your cult?
Repent and be saved. Put your faith in Christ and not in churches.
Former JW myself. So glad to be rid of it. All my family are still JW, but it's nice to kinda rid of their bullshit.
>against the law
For some reason that made me laugh hard enough that i spit my beer all over.
No, it wasn't anything that could get you "in trouble" but it was frowned upon and considered "unclean". I don't think the bible says anything specifically against masturbating but their thoughts were it could lead to having premarital sex/sex outside of the marriage which is apparently a big no no.
I had my differences with the beliefs. Also, step-dad was kind of abusive, moved in with my dad at age 14 (26 now)
. I know what you mean. My mom talked to me more in the 9 months my wife was pregnant than she did in the previous 9 years since I left. My oldest brother was baptised and got out, she has nothing to do with him. I was never baptised but left and apparently that's a loophole for her to still talk to me even though we both made a conscious decision to leave? I don't get it lol.
Idem
They are full of lies.
Op here. Do you stay away from religion in general or have you found faith elsewhere?
Is it true that you have to sacrifice a lamb to the elders of your tribe that they may give you guidance
Not that I know of. I would sacrifice a lamb to the God of my stomach though.
Without turning this into a religious debate, I have put my faith in Christian, just in a different way than JWs do.
Also. Not gonna debate religion with anyone. Just gonna answer questions (about anything, not just my former/current faith)
This
Is it true you don't celebrate bdays? Christmas?
See
Have you heard the words of our lord and savior jesus christ?
How do I convince my girlfriend to stop being a jw?
True. I forget why birthdays are a no no
Their belief is that Jesus wasn't born in December (which actually coincides with a lot of historians) and the ideology behind Christmas is based on pagan ideals. Can't remember what exactly though. It's been over 10 years.
See Are you not a witness?
From Christians, Jews and Atheists, which are the most hated/disapproved and why? If that is even a thing.
They don't really hate anyone (the group as a whole)
Their idea is to convert everyone they can, or bring them to the light as it were. Your background doesn't matter, they just want you to accept Christ (and their beliefs) to gain salvation. One of my biggest problems with them is that the Bible teaches that salvation is given, not earned.
No, I'm atheist. She's not a strong believer, but she still hangs onto it.
Do you not see the great irony of Jesus x Peter?
That's tough. It's usually a personal choice. If she is her family most likely is too and if that's the case she's most likely holding on so her family won't disown her. Talk to her and explain to her that there are others better ways to gain salvation as a Christian.
It sucks to say, but eventually she's gonna have to make a choice between you and the religion. She knows it but she's most likely putting it off as long as she can. If you want any kind of serious future with her, you need to confront her on it. Be sure to point out that if it doesn't work between you two if she does choose you, she'll be welcomed back into their arms eventually
Can you elaborate a little bit? I haven't slept or ate much today, and I'm several beers deep.
JW is mormonism for niggers and they're both distraction cults invented by masons and templars
Being a JW is better than a JEW
OK? Distraction from what?
(Honest question. Never heard anything like that before)
yep and it's this personal relationship fracturing that's a key component to all fucking of those trap cults from Scientology to this garbage
>but eventually she's gonna have to make a choice between you and the religion.
No it's not, Jews invented the cult to burdon people and make them behave extremely unnaturally and self-detrimentally
The common thread to all Jew-derived of Jew-infiltrated organizations which seize control of people's wills and mind. From the Lodge to the Church it's all about psycholgically snookering people into becoming rigid rule followers. People literally lose their minds in these cultic fraternities and institutions. They are then insensibly led to a value system which is imposed on them, and to which they recieve quite reliably due to the age-old exploits of the psyche.
It's all about ladder climbing (from lodge to church) and always being in a position of begging for approval or (degreed) advancement. It's all the same shit with these cults, 'religions' and fraternities
My girlfriend was a JW when I first met her. I managed to get her out of that fucking cult. feel free to ask me anything, I would like to help. It really was a slow and hard process, but really worth it, for both of us. She is much more happier and successful person in all aspects of her life.
When I first met her, I did not know anything about JWs. Slowly I understood how much a religion like this can damage a person. She says she had a happy childhood but both me and her therapist notice how fucking deep her psychological scars really are. It is really fucking scary
welcome to the club faggot so how long did it take you to realize it was all shit for me it was 18 years
As someone who dated a JW once.
Are all the women weirdly sexually adventurous/quirky.
Or was I just lucky with that one?
I was born and raised in it, but had my doubts around 12 (mostly when I noticed girls and puberty)
Had an abusive step-dad. Woke up to a goose egg on my forehead big enough for some friends (who were also witnesses) to notice one morning when they came over to help us work on the farm we had just bought. Decided enough was enough. Had summer visitation with my dad and told him 30 minutes before I was supposed to leave to go back home to not take me home. I was 14 at the time.
What did it for you?
Op here.
They probably all are. Made an attempt to go back at age 18 for a little while, specifically for a girl I met. Played the part long enough to fuck a few times. She sucked in bed and started dating my best friend. I never looked back after that.
Basically, they are fully repressed and "reminded" that sex is bad several hours every week. They are also really shitty towards women overall (like most religions).
I think this causes them to either: A) Want to experiment weird stuff as soon as they can and develop pretty fucked fantasies or B) Drink the kool-aid and loose pretty much all sexual desire.
i was always sceptical started to notice flaws in the god they warshipped since 15 but since i was born in it i didn't want to upset my parents then i got sick with a auto immune disease and was home bound for 3 years couldn't go anywhere and never went back,it also gave me time to sort things out in my brain and come to the realization that if there is a god i don't think he would take attendance
also about the birthday thing in the bible it says that one of the prophets was beheaded because of a birthday and they believe that when you celebrate one you are treating that person like a idol or (god) for that day
Ever bang any hot young JW sluts?
I thought as much, cause the amount of very obscene phone calls and lewd pics I received. I was very pleased with at the time
Just one. She was 18 and a virgin. Laid there like a dead fish. It was bad.
Yeah, I read an article about a JW woman only being turned on by rape porn (since she was taught that sesx is so bad, but still wanted to do it, so the only "innocent" way to have sex is being raped. I also personally know of an ex-JW who has those fantasies. Makes a lot of sense once you think about it and see it from their perspective.
so if you where god what would you do differently then the one they preach about
Note: sex is only had to them outside of a marriage. I see where you're coming from though.
For starters i would have smoked Adam and eve from the get go and started all over. Or tether than kill them, take away their ability to reproduce, then made 2 new perfect beings and made them watch what they could have been until they died.
yea i always found it funny that they say to not be prideful but it was his pride that allowed adam and eve to populate the world will if you believe that the bible is the truth i mean
How do you figure pride? As far as I know God told them to do it. "Be fruitful, become many and fill the earth"
I guess you're seeing something I'm not?
