Here's the weird part: I've observed audiences with not a single person nodding their heads, then all of a sudden - someone starts to do it... then when others observe that, they would instinctively start to follow! Sometimes it has to do with something which the speaker said, but at other times, it's for no apparent reason other than seeing brother so-and-so or sister so-and-so doing it, then thinking: Hey, they are nodding & I'd better do it too so that I would look good & attentive also! -

The fade did not work
by BeautifulMind innot long after learning ttatt, my hubby and i decided it would be best for us to fade.
his entire family is in, but not in the same cong.
we made it to the region convention and one sunday meeting after that.

Wow. Great to know that there are people out there who are able to quit cold turkey. For me, I did a 95% fade - quit field service altogether (currently inactive) but still attend the occasional meeting for the sake of family. All out is the best way to go! -

Paranoia after today's Watchtower
by Truthexplorer inboy oh boy did i feel paranoid at today's wt.
not only are we to watch our associations outside of the congregation, but also watch our associations 'within' the congregation.
this was emphasised by the wt study conductor.

Tornintwo:
my son was a suspect teen, he made the break after being rejected by the judgemental lot, funny thing was, he was still at all the meetings and on the ministry, but this hair and attitude wasn't good enough for them. It was very painful for him at the time and he's had a lot of anger issues and experimented with drugs etc since but he's becoming more stable now, he has a good bunch of new friends who are unconditional. When I saw the way the witnesses treated him when he left, it started my awakening.
Your son reminds me of myself, except for the drugs part. I supposedly had an "attitude problem" & nothing I did could ever be good enough! I was surrounded by judgemental people, who I initially tolerated but eventually lost patience with. Since I couldn't play by their rules, I decided to make my own & stop playing. Never been happier in my whole life!

Turns out that the video was created by a bunch of Hawaiian JW's
And I actually thought initially that it was an satrical "apostate" video making fun of JW's!

I seriously don't think this is a pro-JW video but rather a satrical one -

Who would you like to hear of leaving the Jehovah's Witnesses ?
by wozza ini'll start off with this one:.
some years ago when i was formulating my exit, i employed for some time an ms brother from another congregation.. i'd had a couple of young "worldly" lads work for me but they proved unreliable as they used drugs or alchohol and consequently would'nt arrive at work and such like.. so when i was was contacted by this brother and spoke to him and heard he'd worked at the australian bethel for some time on construction and wanted an opportunity to learn the trade of bricklaying ,i thought ,"great someone to finally trust and be reliable".
he was in his 40's at the time and he worked like a trojan ,was honest ,really likeable and interesting ,could play the classical guitar beautifully ,had a beautiful family.
