SimonSays is a very dedicated Apostate. It is good to see a fellow Apostate so active on our board. Your rebellion to the Governing Body is a great sign of your distaste for the spiritual food they provide.

The Org is terrified of apostates
by SecretSlaveClass ini knew apostasy was a serious concern for the org, but until i watched this video, i had no idea how afraid they actually were.
all this guy wants is to do is not turn in his fs hours and immediately they (elders) set about drilling him about who are what influenced his decision, as if he was incapable of making his own (which as the elders confirm, in the org is highly discouraged).
they are convinced he has been communicating with apostates or visiting apostate web sites.

The GB helpers are the ones being groomed for GB membership. I saw one last year being worshiped by several JW's. It was sickening. -

In the congregation I was in we had a "sister" who was about 10 years into her MS (Multiple Sclerosis). She was now wheel chair bound and was becoming more dependent on care. The elders in our congregation were not caring and our congregation in general viewed this "sister" as an inconvenience. She eventually moved up north into a new congregation that took care of her till she died. The congregation I was raised in as a whole didn't do much but their was certain individuals that would help those in needs. I wonder how the average JW congregation is in the treatment of those in need?

Even if life on earth originated by another life form, it still leaves the age old question, "Who created God?"

Being tax exempt, and all work is volunteer that only leaves utilities, insurance, and depreciation. They removed all the real cost decades ago when they stop serving food. -

I have three different recurring dreams for the past 20 years. I learned they are quite common dream types. The human brain is amazing and it is interesting how it tries to resolve conflict while we sleep. -

Not sure of all the terminology in reference to lawyers, but I know Counsel and Attorney is also used here for lawyer. A prosecutor is a type of lawyer here too. -

The Royal Commission and Watchtower - A game changer
by Hidden-Window ini had finished watching all the videos on the royal commission's investigation of jehovah's witnesses (yes, i know more videos are being released).
i am still processing the information of everything that has emerged.
i do not plan to cover it all here, but i would like to point out that it is patently obvious that some of the wt representatives provided misleading information.

Physical discipline was rampant in my congregation in the 80's and calmed down quite a bit when I left in the 90's. I belonged to a small congregation with a small kingdom hall. On Thursday nights when the congregation was barely 40ish you could hear the spankings coming from the back restrooms. -

Washington Post: JW the least willing religion to deal with child sexual abuse
by adjusted knowledge inthe church, which was founded in pennsylvania in the 1870s to promote a first century interpretation of the bible and is now headquartered in brooklyn, has emerged as the least able or willing to deal with sexual abuse within its ranks, according to annie cousins, a law professor at the university of new south wales and an expert in sex crimes who is a consultant to the inquiry.. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/jehovahs-witnesses-face-child-sex-abuse-investigation-in-australia/2015/08/14/d8a58eda-406e-11e5-9561-4b3dc93e3b9a_story.html.
now i know that annie cousins is not of the high caliber expert witness as the jw expert monica applewhite but i think cousins makes a great observation..

I hope you meant that tongue in cheek.
Yes I was trying to be facetious.
Applewhite is not an expert in child sex abuse just because she has a Doctorate degree. It's like claiming all accountants are experts in tax law.
