this is a video from 1990 that waas posted about four years ago on randy watter's youtube channel.
it's long but reveals the emotions one experiences as they wake up and realize how much they've been misled and lied to by the organization who claimed to represent god.. thankfully jennifer's dad never gave up trying to give her a rewarding and fulfilling life.

meeting with my congregation elders today.. going to tell them about the things i discovered about c.t russell.
(astrology, racism, ect.
) i don't know how to present this information or what to say.
Listen LennaB......if someone tells you that in the future they say something stupid for you to do and doesn't sound logical....but still do it. Would that make you think.
WTF?
So when you look at the Nov 2013 watchtower study edition it states:
(3) At that time, the lifesaving
direction that we receive from
Jehovah’s organization may not appear
practical from a human standpoint. All
of us must be ready to obey any instructions
we may receive, whether these appear
sound from a strategic or human
standpoint or not.
WTF?
Now look at what Jim Jones states to his followers and about people who did not follow.
“And during a drive down School Street, Jones declared pointedly, in discussing the unfortunate fate of an Indiana member who had failed to heed one of his warnings: “People must learn to obey their spiritual leaders.”
Well, we all know what happened to Jim Jones' followers.
Don't think for a second the GB is not like Jim Jones.
Lick you wounds and run LeenaB..IT'S A FREAKING CULT!!!!!!!!!!!

when i was a jw several brothers (ms) told me in private that the elders had asked them several times if they did not want to become an elder.
they said they rejected because it was too much responsibility for them.
were you ever approached that the boe wanted to make you an elder but you refused?
I was an MS for about 1.5 years....was pulled into a room by 2 elders and they started talking about my future goals and being an elder. I told them both I had no intention of being an Elder. This was around Nov 2013 when the article about obeying the GB even if it sounds retarded. Shortly after that about 6 weeks later I was doing research on how to step down as an MS and found this site. Got great ideas on how to step down without a mess and it worked. shortly after I stepped down as an MS.
Best decision I ever made. Do you know why? becasue it's a FREAKING CULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi, i am also a practicing jehovah's witness and very proud of it,to say the very-very least..!
i am a middle-aged man with many decades of being a witness of jehovah god in england.. this important letter is personally to you, just as many of the bible's 88 letters are to be taken personal by you the reader.
i am writing to you to urge you to take stock of your life, think what your future holds for you.
sparks............I will pray for your soul! If you had Jesus in your life you would not be an active witness!

first of all, this post i made on another thread sums up why i want to change congregations so bad.. "theres the other teenagers at the kingdom hall but it's not like i can tell them anything about how i really feel because they're all brainwashed and they'll tell the elders if i tell them something questionable.
there's a girl i like that goes to my hall but i know i'll never be able to be with her because by the time i'm old enough to date by the watchtower's standards, i'll have moved away.. the worst thing is i can't even fake everything well enough to fit in with the other teens at the hall.
i'm always the outcast and if i talk sometimes the so called 'friends' will straight ignore me, even the ones that say they're my best friends.
i agree with Apognophos.....i train with many fighters pro and not pro. It is not staged, i believe the difference between mma and boxing is, if the ref see's a fighter in a compromised position than the ref will stop the fight. take the last benson henderson fight.....great refing.
I do believe it is a lot safer, when i roll or spar during training no one goes out for blood. usually if someone comes in for blood they will be kicked out of the gym. I have seen it first hand.
like i said it is a true friendship that is developed. the great thing about it is....if you don't believe what the other guy believes you are not ostresized.

DATA-DOG with all respect. do you know first hand if it's a dirty sport? and they don't have talent?
i know many pro fighters in and out of the ufc and other fighting associations. All are very clean people and very respectful.....and much to say.....they all have talent in this sport and out of the sport.
and when i say respectful.....these people i know that i train with on a daily bases have more morals, more respect and are better friends than any person actively associated with the BORG.

BTW...do you watch the UFC? if so look up Nate Quary. he is an ex-JW. Great figher and person.
I also recommend start training in MMA or jui jitsu.
send me PM...I will give you more info on what training you could do. and remember the friends you make at the gym are true friends!
my older teenage son had similar issue as you. he has been doing MMA and jui jitsu and wrestling for a long time. so when the kids at the hall
started to be butt heads he just moved on...stopped talking and we allow and encourage him to have more friends out of the TROOF than in.
the friends at school and the gym treat him so much better.

Great name UFCFan......go thru the motions....this too will pass. once you get old enough break away. if you get shunned for leaving my family or friends...then they never were family or friends.
like someone said....,make friends out of the hall.
I refuse to have friends in the hall....i barely talk to anyone. you know why??????because they are fake people.
this too will pass.
