i started studying with witnesses about 21 months ago.
started going to meetings in march 2017, went to the memorial and attended my first convention.
i love it.
Why would you want to be a part of an organisation that views you as unclean, mutilated, and plain wrong?
They will show you no respect. They will not accept you for who you are.
Leave now while you still have your dignity. DO NOT discuss these matters with Elders. They have no right imposing themselves into your privacy.
it's bitter sweet to find a site like this..i was born in the truth.
when i was 16 i given the option to stop going.
father and mothers family are both witnesses.
Welcome!
This is a safe place. Please feel free to share, and vent, and discuss things with us.
Wishing you well in this journey
i wanted to discuss the (supposed) biblical events that disturbed me a lot when i was a jw.
these incidents were just read and discussed in the kingdom hall as if these are normal and justified, which clearly weren't.
perhaps this led to my awakening.
Parents killing their own children with huge rocks.....
Yup, now that proves how "loving" our "creator" is....
Or thousands of women being kept as sex slaves "wives" by the kings who were "Jehovah's friends"....
Yup, that sounds loving....

So, this should prove that they are an unloving cult-like group...right?
genesis says a lot about both pre-flood and post-flood giants.the really big nasty ones drowned in the flood but there were lots of others the israelites had to overcome including the king of basham with his 11 foot iron bed.people nowadays are much smaller and i think its due in part to us losing more and more of adams perfection.
i turn my attention to the animals that went onboard the ark but are as yet undiscovered.
during president knorr's time the panda bear was discovered in a market place in china and eventually an american team tracked them down in the wild.
You may need to watch this:

Um...okayyyyy... I'll bite.
This "factual" and "historical" event that the Bible speaks of is an amazing proof of "divine authorship".
It all MUST be true...after all, the bible says it was true....
Do you also believe in fairies and flying pigs?

jehovah’s witnesses double down on scripture used to ignore abuse.
by trey bundy / november 9, 2017. gary breaux, a senior jehovah's witness official, speaks on the religion’s official internet video channel.
Great that the media has picked up on this so quickly!
The world needs to see the arrogance of the Society!
so yesterday evening i get an invite through facebook fro a name that was familiar, but i couldn’t place the face.
after clicking on the page i saw a close-up pic to realize it was a friend of mine from 15 years ago at bethel.. when this guy arrived at bethel he was big time.
he was in early 20’s and had given up a job as an engineer at what was one of the largest electronics companies in the world.
This sounds a bit odd. In bethel, everyone knows your business...so it seems strange that he was able to keep this quite for so long.
What is he up to now? Have you met up with him again?
i'm gobsmacked.. the 7 rock star popes in warwick know darned well that the 2 witness rule allows child rapists to get away with their crime.. geoff (whacko jacko) jackson was at the australian royal commission and should have seen first hand what a vile man made law the 2 witness rule is.. my question is, why do they still insist on this pervert protecting rule?.
i know it's a highly controlling cult but still...........................stuff my old boots, mate!.
the above is more a rhetorical question.
I posted this comment some time back too about the flawed nature of JW reasoning.
If we came across a person on the street who has been hit by a car and is badly injured, disoriented and in pain, would we walk up to them and say "it is your legal right to call the ambulance if you wish - I wont prevent you from doing so". Then walk away?
No two witnesses existed to that incident...so we "cant get involved"...
Or, if we learned that someone committed murder, would we call Bethel to ask the Service dept how to proceed? Or would we just call the police and leave it in their hands? What is the difference with the crime of child abuse?

So, if the 2 witness rule is the "standard" by which the Society judges things, how would they fare with this:
If someone punched ToMo3 in the face and no second witness observed it, did the punch really take place??
