Yep it was her personal decision after her personal study of the scriptures to not attend. The religion she belongs to did not influence her decision at all. 😉lol.
I like the way she feels she got "led down the garden path" to appear on the show not realizing it was "reality" TV.
We all know how much JWs hate reality.
Maybe she got led down the garden path by WT too and didn't realize it's a cult.
i often wonder if the current crop of witnesses, especially the youth and younger ones simply don't care about facts?.
i mean for some, even with knowledge of the past scandals, misleading teachings, mistruths, etc etc, they simply don't care.
"it is the truth after all".. they are so intertwined in the operations and activities of the society, that they cant see anything outside of it.
WT has cleverly redefined the word fact to mean only WT approved information = facts.
Any "facts" that fall outside that doesn't really matter to them.
I knew witnesses who didn't believe the way I believed but they were in the bosom of the congregation socially so they didn't give a crap about the bible or chronology or how much poo was on the ark they had their social club that's all that mattered to them.
not sure if this has been covered before ,has anybody seen it ?
surely it would come under child abuse wouldnt it ?.
exploitation of minors for profit using religion as an excuse ?
Yeah I 'm sure there is smiddy but I only have room in my life for keeping track of WT abuses. I'll leave the pentecostals to the ex pentacostals.
Bout time all religion got a thorough shake up and made accountable as businesses. The people need a new opium.

What's going on is Brother Richard having a stroke he seems to be repeating himself?
i've been watching quite a bit of gb member stephen lett on youtube recently (no, i'm not thinking of going back to the jws).. i just find him compulsive viewing, like when people slow down to see a car crash.
i find his facial expressions and intonation spell-binding.. it reminds me a bit of john carpenter's the thing, a film where an alien life-form infects a host and imitates it, spreading throughout camps of remote workers in the antarctic.
if i were a bethelite living in close proximity to lett, i'd be thinking about giving him the blood test to see if he was normal, lol.. why does lett speak in public the way he does?
Yeah, there was an edge to many of the things Lett said in the last broadcast, every so often there was a leakage of hostility.

i remember when i first came on this site back in 2007 many of the threads talk about after you leave a cult you need to find your authentic personality.
i have found this takes a lot of effort.
i found this article from the huffington post under healthy living date 7-29-2014.
Thanks to STADD.
Thanks to Mr Flipper also. Your reminder that it takes time and to be kind and patient with yourself was a something I needed to hear right now.

hello.. i am a young 18 year old danish guy, who is a baptized jw.
since one year ago i have been maturing gradually and asking questions about many things, not only about jw stuff(which has caused some problems.
but nothing i couldnt handle with a bit of social skill).
Maybe that's WTs loophole and one degree of separation morally. Someone elses money, someone elses trust WT collects the benefits.
