the truth behind 'the truth' @exjwspeaksup - Tumblr Blog

Anyone else get letters from family and for the quickest second think they might actually want to interact with you for real but then the letter is only about Jehovah missing you along with some watchtower passage and a bunch of scriptures 🙃

I'm healing my religious trauma one devil horned piccrew at a time

They try literally everything to keep their followers in the dark. Denying someone access to education because it's "umoral" is fucking unethical and just a control mechanism. They're so desperate to keep a firm grip on what their followers are capable of doing, including thinking on their own.

I wonder where I would be in life rn if I wasn't raised under the mentality that higher education would ruin me. I wouldn't be so far behind in my vet training and that really pisses me off.

Bible stories that fucked me up

- that one where the israelites won a battle and god was like “if it’s not going in my temple, destroy that shit” and one guy was like “but maybe I want a blanket” and then his entire family died - the one where lot was like “maybe you shouldn’t kill all these people just bc some of them are gay,” and god was like “imma turn your wife into salt.” - the one where dinah is like “maybe I would like a boyfriend who isn’t related to me” and then everyone hates her and calls her a slut - the one where the guy promises a whole-ass person to god if he wins a battle and then it ends up being his daughter - the one where samson is like “I’m going to kill all these innocent people so god loves me again” - MOTHER FUCKING JOB - the one where they push a woman out the window - the one where jonah is like “I would like to maybe not die” and gets eaten by a fish - the one where paul’s a little bitch (oh wait, that’s all of them)

Fuck me i remember my mom using the bear killing disobedient children to get me to obey which (surprise surprise I didn’t care). Then also using Dina as to why you shouldn’t date outside of the Borg cause you’ll get raped if you do.

I was brainwashed.

I was.

Not the way the media portrays it, but

“brain·wash (ˈbrānˌwôsh), verb - make (someone) adopt radically different beliefs by using systematic and often forcible pressure.”

I was brainwashed.

People who spent majority of their lives being Jw’s: Jehovah’s Witnesses are a cult lmfao

Someone whose never been involved in the religion and knows 0 about it but has a really “nice” friend or relative whose JW:

What “sins” do you enjoy now that you’re free?

jesuschristopus

1. Wearing immodest clothing (which basically consist of skinny jeans, shirts that touch my torso, and a slight bit of cleavage lol)

2. Living with my partner before we’re married. It has allowed us to figure out how compatible we are before committing fully.

3. Listening to non-Christian music.

4. Accepting my bisexuality.

5. Not going to church! And not making Christmas about Jesus!

6. Reading steamy romance novels (in no world should that be considered “emotionally cheating” 🙄)

7. Being cool with discarding virginity/purity as a concept!

8. Accepting people for who they are rather than their potential for conversion.

9. Blasphemy. Fuck God.

10. Learning scientific facts and not denying those facts ❤️

some-jw-things

Writing things where the characters can commit sins lmao theyre all real people now

Learning how to dress the way I want to and not just the way the cult wanted me to

Having and expressing political opinions

Learning about other religions and Christian history

All the free time I gained that used to go to spiritual activities

Watching R-rated movies

Talking to someone and not caring if they sin, they don’t need to be good association anymore

Blasphemy again because it’s VERY fun

Why is all of the biblical figures white in JW Media? Like seriously?

Here’s why:

“While it is true that the white race exhibits some qualities of superiority over any other, we are to remember that there are wide differences in the same Caucasian (Semitic and Aryan) family; and also we should remember that some of the qualities which have given this branch of the human family its preeminence in the world are not such as can be pointed to as in all respects admirable… The secret of the greater intelligence and aptitude of the Caucasian undoubtedly in great measure is to be attributed to the commingling of blood among its various branches; and this was evidently forced in large measure by circumstances under divine control.”

— Zion’s Watch Tower 07/15 1902

tl;dr : The Watchtower was founded by a raging white supremacist.
