Well put, everyone above! I feel guilty all the time for this, and that's only in my mind as I'm still in! The missus knows I have serious doubts but doesn't seem to want to talk about it. I suppose it's taken me years to wake up, I can't expect any less for her. let's hope so for all of us. We should form a club!

Is it normal to feel you have betrayed your spouse when you learn TTATT?
by BU2B ini am trying to look at it from a believing mates perspective.
they married you as a jw expecting you to continue as one.
if you have kids, she enjoyed the stability of both spouses being united.. when you learn ttatt, you find out the wt is a dangerous mind control group and lies to its members and is hypocritical.

Reverse Witnessing - Will NEVER work!
by MissConfused inits been a while since i spoke up.
after a lot of 'tactful' questioning, i have come under the conclusion that witnessing ttatt with dubs will never work.
there is nothing called reasoning with them.

Be patient, I've had to learn that. Just occasionally I see tiny cracks in the conditioning that give me hope.

Warehouse - I've only just discovered stout, so of course Guinness is always good, but I'm loving a bit of "innis and gunn" at the moment, very very tasty...

Want to know why people accept evolution ?
by snare&racket indo you have questions about or want to understand evolution?
it is a difficult concept to communicate and so if it is not explained well , it is understandable that we would dismiss it.. i sincerely want to talk with people who want to learn more or see what all the fuss is about.
we are all learning and increasing our knowledge all the time and it is good to go over facts with critical eye.. evolution we can discuss, looking at the foundational facts and evidence, one at a time for you to go and check, agree or disagree with and return.. no pressure to accept it, you can decide for yourself, also no mocking etc of what you have to say.. .

Fascinating kaik, thanks for posting... I've never believed in the world being only 7000 years old, and tbh I always thought we as witnesses believed in the big bang (but God started it and controlled it of course), but I've always believed mankind has only been here 6000 yrs as per wt theology. How convincing is the evidence for the dating of these people that lived 7 to 9000 years ago? Cos I've brought this up before and simply been TOLD the dating is out, it's an unreliable science..

Cofty, thanks for going back to basics, I really appreciate this simple explanation of current evolutionary theory. Zygotes and epigenetics - NAILED!

Attn faders/lurkers re donations
by Skinnedsheep inwhen you get your anonymous survey pledge an exorbitant amount.
the elders will make the resolution based on the fake pledge and it will create conflict between the branch and the cong....when the donations don't come in the branch be like "pay the man".
the local body will have to have several local needs parts which will highlight the branches focus on money.

Longhairgal - I think the first poll is anonymous, no legality there, but I certainly won't be signing my name to ANYTHING...

Is this new donation arrangement for real?
by nugget injust read a post on jwsurvey about the new donation arrangement.
congregations are to pledge a monthly amount to be sent to the society to fund the building of assembly halls and kingdom halls.
congregations who already have a loan from the society will no longer have to pay back the loan but the amount pledged should not be less than the current monthly repayments to the society.

Man. I HOPE the extended measures actually happen, people can gloss over lies and reason away misinformation, but they'll soon notice their wallets getting thinner. SUSPICIOUS - I was going to put a big fat zero on mine but your idea is brilliant, over inflate the figures, put a nice high amount, let's all mess with them!
