Wow...so sorry to hear.
Do you have someone or somewhere safe you can go?
i wasn't entirely sure what to expect when i made the decision to tell my parents how i really feel, but i was prepared for the worst, fortunately, it didn't come to that.
after i told them i didn't want to go to the meetings anymore it led to a long talk with them.
they made a number of irksome and woefully uninformed statements but at least they were not aggressive and have said that they won't force me to move out over this, though, i can tell they are hoping they can convince me to "accept the truth," as long as i still live with them.

in part 3 of remember the wife of lot, prepubescent j.w.
kids are going to be shown something which demonstrates that the org condones watching disturbing horror content.
the "direction" the wtbts is taking is breathtaking.
Yes, this video is yet another shockingly disturbing proof that the GB have lost their minds!
Like children with a new toy, they are obsessed with using their video technology- BUT have not thought it through before doing so....
if jehovahs witnesses are using the wrong name of god "jehovah" how would that affect your worship ?.
2. if yahweh is the more correct name of god of the bible how does that affect your worship ?.
3.jehovahs witnesses put great emphasis on gods name ,sanctifying it treating it as "holy" and that jehovahs witnesses are to make it known in all the earth .
As G Jackson said in a recent broadcast, we don't exactly know what the correct pronunciation is!
So witnesses have had it wrong for decades!
just had to share this - it was posted on reddit.
a brilliant and entertaining debunking of theism.. https://youtu.be/6x-lw9pc6ie.
Fantastic video Doubtful1799!
Thanks for sharing it here.
For anyone who is put off from having to wade through subtitles, PLEASE watch this. It is worth it!
lets play a fun game?.
we all know that as witnesses, we were constantly told to read the bible, and ask ourselves what the passage we read reveals about god.. as an example, here is a wt that highlights this.. may 2016 wt study edition "benefit fully from jehovah's provisions".

Island Man! Spot on comments!
I hadn't thought of those points before - they are so valid!
this year’s “don’t give up” convention encourages theocratic welfare.
brother pioneer is doing a lot of carting and having trouble making ends meet.
his landlord doesn’t get it and decides to evict him and his wife.. .
JohnFree, your comments were spot on!
maybe it's complete in light of this sundays wt study...“what you vow, pay”.
it is all about paying your vows and especially focuses on three types.. 1 your dedication vow (baptism).
2 your marriage vow.
Funny too how the society completely overlooks the part "Let your YES mean YES"
Now how many times have their "yes" directions and predictions proven to be untrue, or changed as "new light"?

Ah well...of course monetary help is rarely given to regular members of the congregation in need. (Say a regular one who is just trying to live a normal life)
Only if one is a popular appointed member (pioneer or elder) would that happen...and only as a private arrangement. NEVER an offical cong sponsored event.

“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”
― Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

the dad in this is a total douche.
i dont know if the videos have become more judgemental and culty in the year since i left - or maybe im just noticing it more?.
You all NEED to see the final horrific scene!
Watch the way they show Lots wife turn to salt! There willbe horrified children at those conventions.
The scare mongering tactics are deplorable.
