im giving up guys.
i've reached the end of my patience and now i finally refuse to waste any more time on part-time witnesses.
i've text all of my active jw family members and told them to delete my number from their phone and never contact me again.
If they know where you stand on the JW thing and where you live or how to contact you let them come to terms with that in their own way and time.
IOW
If you love something set it free, if it comes back it's yours, if it doesn't hunt it down and....oops I mean it never was.
i realize this is odd, but a "how you woke up" thread and the personal stories that are told which i know we all enjoy, made me think of this.
in helping my wife and a couple others get the ball rolling, i realized the thing that resonated with me, didn't even move the needle with them.
i wanted to rail on and on about blood, because that was my conduit to waking up, but for my wife it was about shunning.
What did NOT get me out?
The people who had doubts or were even awake and said nothing and did nothing.
i still believe in freedom of religion even if i disagree with the beliefsof the religion.
what about you?.
If it were up to me I would make all religions accountable to the same laws as any business like standards of quality control and false claims of the benefits of a product, paying employees, etc etc and let the chips fall where they fall re survival of all in the business of selling the product of religion.
ok the first thing that come to mind, how in the hell a frog make in through all the food handlers into a salad..but when you think about it i became a jw thinking a nice spiritual meal and i ended up with crap and no one warned me, there is something ugly in your organization.......the restaurant bj's w. covina ca.

Poor froggie.
how did they ever get away with that and how does it go down now, in today's society?.
its fucking mental.

@ stuck " ... because she doesn't have a penis" ... to put on her head? Lol!
i ask this question for good reason.
let's face it, despite all the books, videos, forums, court cases, hearings, protests etc that have been exposing the society for many years.
jw.org continues to roll on almost 'it seems' unscathed.. for example, just walk into any kingdom hall there is not so much as a whisper about anything that has been exposed outside of jw land.
Unless laws are changed making religions as answerable to the same laws as every other business then WT will likely go on. The power lies with the individuals of religions to withdraw support.
I choose to believe that people are waking up, slowly but surely.
how did they ever get away with that and how does it go down now, in today's society?.

How does any religion get away with it? It's called freedom baby.
Maybe they got tips from muslims. There are non-muslim women who come out in support of head coverings - go figure? A symbol of male oppression being celebrated as a symbol of religious freedom! W The Actual F!
Mad world.
absolutely thrilled to give you the news that my younger brother, a zealous full-time pioneer has left the witnesses!!.
i haven't seen or spoke to him in a year.
i'd lost all contact with him, no facebook, no mobile number, i didn't even know his address because he'd moved house.
Hallelujah!
Are we at the "hundredth monkey" yet?
i’ve been hearing from several very reliable sources that there will be an exclusive elite gala entertainment event hosted by the watch tower organization, featuring specially chosen jehovah’s witnesses of outstanding talent as well as spiritual reputation, at the sony centre (formerly called the o’keefe centre) in toronto, ontario (canada) as a special “after hours” addition to the 2017 special international convention.. those chosen have to meet very strict criteria, including, not so much technical and popular talents, but, rather, their spiritual maturity which can be easily and practically related to by the audience (i.e., degree of conformity – you know what i mean!).
a notable and very well-known professional “super star” from some other country (i don’t know which one) who has achieved highly recognized and popular talent was surprisingly not chosen to participate in the extra entertainment program, whereas other performers with rather ho-hum musical abilities ended up being selected, ostensibly for their altruistic and “theocratic” qualities.
(something tells me that there is going to be some jealousy and indignant, hard feelings over this rather authoritarian, arbitrary selection process.
King Solomon had his male singers and female singers his manservants and his maidservants didn't he?
If it was good enough for Brother Sol then it's good enough for the Faithful and Discreet Slave the Guardians of Doctrine the GB.
some of the videos on youtube really make the beard policy look ridiculous.
i wondered what would happen if the jw beard policy caused someone to stumble?
jesus most likely wore a beard, and charles taze russell had a beard.
If the message is subliminal and the campaign is subliminal then is the "stumble" subliminal?
If a tree falls in the forest...
