BOEs don't just hand over publisher record cards because a family even a "higher up" family wants to see them. Other than telling your family the truth and to mind their own business it's time to cut the umbilical chord.

Major changes to convention security beginning in 2017
by Edison Trent inshort info on interesting changes to the major conventions this year: there will be a new security concept that will be implemented at all regional conventions in 2017.. similar to other major events (e.g.
festivals, concerts), there will be admittance controls in stadiums.. - at each entrance, there will be a massive presence of attendants that look at each visitor.. - there will be pocket checks at the entrance.. - suspicious persons are no longer left on the convention grounds.. - suppliers to the stadium will be intensively inspected by attendants.. - there will be a special sign for attendants that must enter the stadium before 7.30 am.
all others (even all attendants) can only enter after 7.30 am..

Security at conventions - lol. IOW WT petty tyrannists searching bags for apostate literature while ignoring suspicious packages.
Hopefully conventions become so stressful people will stop going.

I would say the majority of JWs are born-ins these days, I would say several generations down by now from the original converts - in western countries anyway. So this "the borg attracts crazy people" defense doesn't cut it anymore.
My personal opinion is codependency and narcissism are rife amongst JWs. WT is the ultimate narcisisstic gaslighter and JWs are the codependents. And because what goes around comes around in JW families you have narcisisstic parent usually the father but sometimes both while the mother and kids are codependent. Individual JWs are both codependent and what I call religiously narcisisstic. That's my theory anyway.

Well now we have the post traumatic milo situation sorted....
Yes, one eyed joe is right, that's the nature of PTS a sight, a sound, a smell can trigger a memory and you're right back there. I think the meetings themselves even without physical abuse were very emotionally abusive spaces where you were never good enough or spiritual enough or connected to enough of the right people I threw away all my meeting clothes for this reason they reminded me too much of that horrible place called the KH.
Hopefully more of these experiences will surface and alert the general public to JWs are just another religion and in many ways worse.

Would You EVER Go Back To Being A Jehovah's Witness?
by minimus ini could never understand why some people who know the truth about the "truth" ever go back.
once you understand all the hypocrisy and negatives, i would think it's almost impossible to go back!.

Don't you mean would you ever crawl back to Jehovah's loving organization?
Because the only way back to that bitch is on your knees, and I am not a codependent masochist for Jehovah - anymore.
