if you have not yet had a chance, go to youtube, and look at the whole range of videos from "nonstamp collector".
oh wow!.
the way this guy presents the biblical accounts is very very good!.
stuckinarut2: Thanks for sharing that. I was unaware of this YT channel.
Just watched Quiz Show (Bible Contradictions).
Fast paced and very funny.
I'll trust that the scriptural quotes are accurate, and I'll check some of them out when I get time.
I hope his other vids are just as good.

a tragic, but honest, story.
well written, in my opinion.. i'd like to see how the local jw's would handle this being mentioned to them this saturday morning in the ministry.. it's just a shame it's only a local newspaper, not a national.. www.bucksherald.co.uk/news/more-news/former-jehovah-s-witness-leaves-memorial-to-family-who-shunned-her-1-6206648.

recently a jw friend that my wife & i knew 3 years ago added me on facebook, after i accepted the request she invited me to a dinner that her and her husband are holding next month.. i imagined that she was unaware of our apostasy, so i declined the invitation on the basis of not wanting to ruin her dinner after the rest of her guests fled at our presence.. i'm never sure how old friends will react when i tell them that i'm no longer a jw.. usually their response is "..... permanent-silence......".
her response went something like this, " we are all out!
everyone that is coming is out we all look forward to seeing you guys so much" it turns out that there will be 6 people at the dinner all friends of ours from a congregation that we attended a few years back.. they have all left the organization recently.. pretty crazy experience..
Fantastic news!
I think most of us would like an exprience like that.
That's going to be one hell of a reunion.
If it's anything like the time I met up with my 'apostate' friend who woke up 5 years before me, you'll all be talking over each other and have to slow down to give each other time to speak.
Enjoy your night, you lucky sod.

after reading from another thread, i felt it was worth asking this question.. if you left the borg on your own, have you attempted to meet others whom you used to be connected with while you were "in", but who have also become ex-jw's before or after you have left the wts?
if that's the case, has it remained a friendship, or the connection grew cold?
just curious as to what keeps friendships "stick" [or not] once you no longer have the borg's doctrinal glue.. your experiences are welcome.. eden.
There was a sister who I always got on really well with. She left about 5 years ago. Sadly, 'the devil overtook her' and she took the apostate route.
I occasionally saw her in the supermarket, but I would never shun her. (My wife did though, and she still does)
Now that 'the devil has also overtaken me' and I too have taken the apostate route, we're great friends once again.
Re-connecting with her has been a great help while going through the ups 'n' downs of "waking up" to TTATT.

so talking with my wife last night...i was explaining to her about a conversation i had with a person at work about end times.
he has a strange belief that some scriptures in isaiah perdict something huge is going to happen in september of 2015. she then states that no one can predict the future only the father knows and he is in a cult.
lol on the inside.. i then stated "what about 1914 and the dubs perdiction and what it means today" she said no there was never any predictions.
I joined the cult studying the "Live Forever" book.
It was customary to take an elder/more competant JW on the study when it got to the chapter explaining the 607 BCE - 1914 CE teaching.
If it's an important teaching, every JW should be able to explain it in his/her own words.

since it is the convention season (and i am not attending this year or ever again), and i have been seeing other posts about some of the goings on at the various ic's and rc's, i am reminded of some of the truly embarrassing behavior i have "witnessed" (pun intended) over my lifetime of being a jdub at the various conventions and assemblies.
probably the most disillusioning experience at a convention that i have ever had was one year when i volunteered to be an attendant.
all of the volunteers were asked to attend a special meeting a few months beforehand to get instructions for our duties as attendants.
respectful_observer: I would love to see the glares I would get if I decided to record this event on my phone/iPad.
If you can do it... DO IT.
They'll be so pre-occupied with sprinting for the best seats that they won't even notice you.
We need someone, ANYONE, to film this Christlike behaviour.
I used to turn up about 15/20 mins before it started. I never saw the need to turn up any earlier.
This is my first year since 1992 that I'll absent from the conventions.
Free at last.
Happy at last.

a month ago i went to walgreens to get some snacks and a newspaper.
i was walking out when i noticed an elder that i grew up with walking towards me.
he kinda looked in my direction, the turned his head away and kept walking with his nose in the air.
It's his loss, Joliette,
I believe you when you say "I've never done anything to this elder, always been nothing but nice to him".
Sadly, that counts for NOTHING once you dare to question whether the organization is really "the truth".
Jesus didn't shun ANYONE, not even Satan (Mttw Ch.4). Remind him of that if you see him again.
You're more Christlike than this elder.

i don't know if it has been a good thing or a bad thing to have found this site.
i stumbled on it about a year ago as i mentioned in previous posts.
it has opened my eyes to so many things, but right now all is confusion.
Focus, that is one hell of a list.
Using their own literature (over 100+ years of it) to expose them.
It doesn't get any clearer than that.
Nice work, thanks.

young earth creationists (like dr. john morris) are taken to task in an article producing the following statistics:.
let's begin with today's population of the earth (estimated) 6,623,924,220. call it 6 billion.. now, let's go back to noah and his family after the flood.
but--let's take the baby steps necessary to get from 8 people to our goal of 6 billion.. why?
Nice post. Very thought provoking.
I quickly researched world population estimates through the ages, but the problem is that none of these satanic, worldy, so-called 'educated' people take into consideration that there were only 8 people alive on the earth after the God of Love brought the flood.
Idiots
