I totally discovered TTAT in 2004.
At first, I told my JW relatives each & every thing I found out. They didn't appreaciate it.
Then, I read COC and realized that that was the wrong approach. So, from about 2007-2013, I rarely said anything to them abou the JWs.
Well, I just don't care any more to pussy foot around them, making nice, and smiling. When the tithing change happened, i told them what I thought. I told them it was a cult. I told them of the WTS changes, the control, and I'm not buying it. I don't give a sh*t anymore what others think. I'm being ME and they are going to know where I stand. When I cow tip around them, then they think I am in, somehow, agreement with the WTS. The WTS is not going to control me into tiptoeing.
What's funny is our family is mainly non-JWs, and if everyone would say something then these few people might snap out of it. Or, they'd realize that we don't like the WTS. IN the end, I don't really care if they come out or not. But, I'm not going to pretend any more!
Just like Phil Collins, I don't care anymore, what you say. I never did believe you much anyway.
Anyone else get to this stage? The stage of being an old codger who just says what they want?
