Overrated
Knowing it is all made up by a publication/real estate empire hiding behind a cult. I am very free knowing that this is what they are about. Tax free money , and wealth for some higher ups from the backs of slaves. The sh#t has hit the fan. I'm not going to be one of their slaves.

The Watchtower stole our time. EVERYTHING you did revolved what they wanted you to do. You want to buy a new car or house, do you really need that?? Vacation—how can you think of doing that when your field service hours are so low? Speaking of that, you want to be a MS or elder, you have to raise your averages! You want to sleep in on Saturday morning? What?? You need to be exemplary and set the example and knock on those doors even though you know no one is home...we can go on and on, can’t we??

Not being in a cult. Not wasting my time going to meetings I absolutely hated. Having my life back, Not having to check what I think at the door when going to meetings so I don't upset the idiot elders. Not being around other JWs the worst people on the planet besides liberal idiots.
