it's been 12 years since i first read ray franz's books and the scales came off my eyes.
by that time i was in my forties.. since 2002 i went back to school and have worked with 3 very professional organizations.
but my biological clock is ticking away and while my peers are looking forward to retirement, i am only beginning.
I've had 6 JW friends and acquaintences that committed suicide. But I didn't.
Sad. I know the same number. I know ZERO worldly people. ???
The Watchtower life is the same. Things change and what was important in your life then is no longer important now
Sorry R & R, I need to strongly disagree.
Not only have so many of us wasted our lives, many have also lost all friendships AND FAMILY.
A lousy job or any other poor decision does not take away your loved ones as WTS does.
you know, the one that's only available by an official request to the boe in child custody cases.
anybody have a scan or link?.
Thanks Girl

Anyone know of a current location of this packet?
upon first glimpse, i thought this was a specialized service of a legitimate law firm, but as it turns out, it's simply a selective presentation of exploitable religious issues enacted by a former elder (william bowen).. http://jwchildcustody.com/ .
dont allow your children to be turned against you!.
statistics show that over 1,000 custody cases are fought each year involving jehovahs witness children.
As for alleged "Watchtower attorneys" in a child custody case, I've never been aware of any legal representation appointed by the Watchtower society to individual congregation members for the purposes of family law. It could be that I've been misinformed.
Yes, you have been misinformed.
i am a jehovah's witness from siberia.
please tell us who knows what and where thesplits occurred after the death of rutherford.
now in russia there are many schisms.. .
Interesting that the Romanians have assemblies (with a massive choir).

Why does it seem that so many wake up after decades?
Do you think WTS analyzes these numbers?
i was thinking of doing a pop-in visit when they're doing their thing(what ever that might be).
to just see what it is that lures and hooks people, like our son.
i was worried there is some sort of subliminal messages in audio or video that start to brain-wash a person.
It's the love-bombing that hooks new folks. The love that quickly disappears from most JW's once the newbie is baptized.
The only non-born-in that I've seen baptized in a decade was remarkably love-bombed.
I remember all of the old pioneer tricks, have your Bible Student over for meals so you count easy time.
Once dunked, she was abandoned like nuclear waste.
She always looked lost, lonely, and puzzled at the meetings. "Where did the love go?"

I hear you, sister, and I feel the same.
When I see the constant pressure on kids to pioneer right out of school, it makes me sick.
I am intelligent, but completely wasted my life.
Instead of contributing to society, our family has been a leech.
Hopefully, you have at least found employment that is either enjoyable, or, at least tolerable.
im sure someone must have posted this before but here goes.. q: how many jws does it take to change a lightbulb?.
a : jws are not allowed to change lightbulbs.
anyone attempting to introduce new light gets disfellowshipped.. .
They just sit in the dark until there is New Light.
JW's make the best mushrooms.
i'm sure most people heard about this story that broke yesterday.. http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/19/world/meast/jerusalem-violence/index.html?hpt=hp_t2.
of couse the governing body would never encourage the brothers to go to unsafe areas like detroit or israel.
sadly the brothers would believe it if the governing body told them drinking cyanide was safe.. .
Seriously, if they do believe Israel is safe for the preaching work, what next? Pioneering in Mecca?
Great idea. Next International Convention in Mecca.
