Yes, as I have said before in another thread, I have heard one elder say many times:
"anyone who leaves 'the truth' always has an unhappy and problematic life"
So it's just not possible that you can be happy now as an ex witness.... (Hehe)
someone suggested i post an introductory thread.
i am a married, rather young grandma of four precious rugrats, ages 2-9. i guess our only child son and his only child wife didn't want their own kids to be "onlies".
my other half and i married rather young (18 &22) and will be celebrating 31 years together this summer.. i am sort of add, keep thinking i am still 28, love my husband now more than ever, and am so glad i woke up and left the crazy cult.. my husband and i began studying months after marrying and then decided to take the dunk.

so, just curious in advance....is there anyone from our forum who will be attending the melb convention?.
Hey jaidubdub...want to meet up there sometime throughout the weekend?
Keep ourselves sane........
as the title says, please list what you find annoying with the organization..
Good comment Dis-member!
my mom just hung up on me, convinced that the borg has never said that jesus was not the mediator between the sheep and him!.
i know they have presumptuously took the place of jesus as mediators can someone pleeeeeeze give me the wt references of this?.
she does not believe me..
any updates braincleaned?
what say all you thinkers out there?.
Yep, and even using the word "plan" (or "purpose in JW speak") implies that they have brains....
There are no plans...the teachings are more "reactive" rather than planned or "proactive"
as the title says, please list what you find annoying with the organization..
1) False / fake conditional friends
2) Never admitting past errors or taking ownership for their mistakes.
3) Uniformity masked as "unity" (no room for individual thinking)
ETC...I could go on, and on,
so, just curious in advance....is there anyone from our forum who will be attending the melb convention?.

i heard something about the memorial to cease soon.
not anything to do with jesus returning but rather that the number of folks partaking is increasing and the gb can't explain it since it should be decreasing or staying the same.. has anyone heard of this?
.
Will never happen!
Its the witness "big push campaign season" remember...
Whoever made up that rumour is stupid....

Great post!
Welcome.
I really loved your comment re :
"We didn't even discuss our fading, it was almost as though we telepathically agreed to it."
That is really cool....I am hoping that this occurs with my wife.....
what say all you thinkers out there?.
Of course there is no plan...
BUT they will always have followers, as a new gullible generation and converts will always be there to follow them.....
