so when you first found out specific facts about the organisation, how did you feel??.
the un membership.
the way 1914 was calculated from pyramid measurements.
when i fully woke up, i realized that i was stuck and now had to find a way out. i am still trying to find the door to this hotel california.
i hope i am able to come out with my marriage in tack. baby steps i guess. i envy those whose partners woke up with them.
cheers
i'd like to start off by saying that i will be very vague in everything i say.
i am fairly "high up" in jw land and have to be somewhat careful how i word and say stuff.
sorry in advance if any specific details are left out.
has for me and out son's, we only go because of my wife. if today she said that she never wanted to go back. I guarantee, we would never go back.
i am sure there are many that would say like i say:
Joining this cult was the worse mistake of my life. it is a captive organization, i am being held captive.
Shalom
don't know if anyone else caught this subtle but malicious photo from the 12/13/15 wt study article.. not sure how to post pictures here, but the photo is on the website's copy of the article, just below paragraph 12:.
http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20151015/give-us-more-faith/.
note the 3 pictures in sequence tell a "story":.
i do believe that if the BORG said that dogs are a waste of time and you should consider getting rid of them. if anything would open eyes...it would be that. she loves our three dogs with all her heart.
she will get rid of me before she parts with the dogs.
but, in all reality.....this would open her eyes to it being a cult.
i have attended only one meeting in the past 3 weeks.
i know there is no way to leave this cult fast enough, but is my fade too fast?
you sound like me...believe me when i say. My wife know exactly how i feel about the BORG. Thanks god we are doing ok know. but, we do have our rough patches.
i have come to the realization that she will never open he eyes and guess what. i am fine with it.
live long and prosper.
for all those struggling to reconcile the knowledge about the "truth" and how to live life, this video is fantastic!.

been catching up on some jw reading and found a gem in the november study wt in the first article, paragraph #11:.
yet, you might look beyond the obvious and ask yourself, does my child enjoy the ministry or only the breaks?
if you discern that the ministry could be more interesting or more rewarding for your children, set goals with them.
BARF..... my kids hate going out on field circus and i believe my wife hates field circus.
when she goes to the door, she basically hands the magazines to the person and leaves. she know nothing about the bible, nor does she know anything about the watchtowel doctrine. she's a trained monkey.
don't get me wrong....i love her with all my heart. she just lacks the ability or desire to investigate the watchtowel fake doctrine.
sad, sad , sad case

hopefully, some jws will read this, and question how the wt is getting all this money, and question where is it really going?.
had a conversation with my jw mother the other day.
she has been baptized for over 50 years.
i've been out for 30 years, but because both my mother and mother-in-law are jw's i keep up with all things jw.
i am pretty sure that a huge majority of halls have internet. the problem is this, they are using cheap routers that are made for residential, so the capacity to have a large number of people on the internet causes problems.
i.e.- signal drop, cant log onto the system, slow speed.
it's a train wreck. i guess it's watchtower wisdom.
what do they contribute to humanity?
what do they contribute to any part of society?.
why are people paying for a scam?.
i believe the people who give are guilted sub conciously into giving money.
when i was the accounts person...i saw people giving money that i knew full well could not afford it,
if they only knew, they would ask for every red cent they donated back.
did any of you guys disregard the wt recommendations and pursue a career.
if you answer "yes": was your journey easy?
are you happy with the end result?
i tell my son's all the time that knowledge is power and a degree from college is something no one can ever take from you!
when i tell them the knowledge is power, and that's why the watchtower doesn't want people to go to college, because they don't want people to be empowered..
i got my degree, EE. i wasn't a witness, but even if i was....i would have gotten one anyways.
i hate this cult.
