I listened to it right the way through....
It would be one of those that everyone in the cong would rush to "ooohhhh, and ahhhhhh" over I can tell you....
Main points:
It is ok to have doubts, just don't tell people all about it and spread dissention.
Don't think too much about your doubts, just be a simpleton and accept everything.
Most if not all "apostates" are immoral to begin with, hence their reason for leaving the truth. If they are not so in the beginning, they will become immoral sooner or later anyway.
seriously!

Sorry to hear this Data-Dog,
I hear you!....
I think that your wife is starting to see "the real apostate" in you??
Try to show her that you are the same nice person that she married, not some evil two headed monster...
My wife is also starting to see that something is different with me. In fact, several of us on this forum are noticing that our significant others are at a crucial point observing that something has made us alert to look outside of the box.....we are different somehow, but they can't quite put their finger on it yet.
show them we are good loving people still.

1) learn who you really are
2) be comfortable with yourself
3) develop friendships with people who are supportive of individuality, not conformsm
4) do good things for other people
5) don't be easily misled by organisations claiming to speak on gods behalf
6) don't be swallowed up by negativity
7) take care of ones health, physically, mentally, emotionally.

Any Suggestions on what to say if elders ask why you stopped going in FS?
by BU2B ini was curious what might be some good things to say if i am questioned by the elduurs about my decline in fs.
anything too honest may get me a jc (although that would be for the best in the end..) the co visit is this week so they may be getting more agressive than usual.

Yes, remember that people only have power over us if we allow them to....
Simply being polite but firm should work.

OK..Seriously..Has GOD ever answered your prayers????
by DATA-DOG inlook...i am not an atheist.
even so, i have never had one prayer answered my entire life.

Prayer only serves as a chance for a person to calmly sit back, relax, compile their thoughts and therefore move on in life....
Some people take deep breathes. Some people 'meditate'. Some people 'pray'.

Yet they baptize and df children...
by cultBgone ininteresting comment box from a 2012 wt mag...found this when looking for something else.
.
sure, "they realize that when a child becomes an adult, he or she will make a personal choice with regard to worship" but if their decision is to not be a jw, they are cut off from their family.. talk about deception, these guys are masterful... .

I wasn't physicaly forced to get baptised!
BUT I can tell you this for a fact: If I had not gotten baptised at 16, I would have been branded as a failure, an unspiritual drop kick, a no hoper, a loser etc....
the pressure put on young ones is extreme! And as young ones are naturally so concerned about how they are perceived by their peers and superiors, it makes most get baptised.....
It is as clear as that!
I bet that if you asked most witnesses why they got baptised, it was peer pressure and feelings of expectation put on them!

Excellent thread indeed!
thanks for everyone's input.
I am going to print these and make up a document with all these points condensed on one form.....
may come in handy one day as a snapshot of the "modern organisation". I mights share it with others, and if they ask what the motive is, I will just say that my "personal study" has helped me to keep "pace with the modern theocratic chariot"!
