i can't get over how many "try-harders" are going on "holidays" to countries that are under govt ban!.
they get tourist visas to get into the countries (such as parts of asia) but are really there to preach.... .
how dishonest!.
Hi Stuck! hope all is well with you...i was just thinking earlier that an elder could lie under oath. so for them to do this, is by no means un-imanigable.
i wish my wife would wake up....well keep in touch stuck and hope all is going well for you!

"every parent among jehovahs witnesses worried about how local watchtower appointed elders will respond to letting their child have blood transfusion without opposing it should download this letter of understanding and be ready to hand a copy to them.
then ask those elders to leave them (the parents) and doctors alone to concentrate on the childs best interests.".
i've been lurking for about 3 months now and thought i'd better finally sign up.
you have all been an immense help to me as i have come to realize that this isn't the truth so i want to say a great big thank you!
what a crazy, emotional ride it is to finally face the truth about the doubts that i have carried for many years.
Stumpy,
good on you mate....take it slow. remember time is now on your side. always let the missus know how much you love her.
things are going slow with my missus...she knows how i feel. i told her i support her and what ever she wants to do. so far just taking it day by day. we don't discuss anything BORG related. never did and don't and we don't associate with any witness's. and neither do our kids. this makes it easy.
live your life or lives and have respect for eachother. this is more than what the BORG will ever give and with that you will win the war.

the wts struggles to survive in the 21st century, what with the internet, social media, instant communication, instant video, instant music, instant porn, er, not that i'd know anything about that last one... but anyhoo.... as they struggle to keep the young ones indoctrinated, they've finally realized that sitting in wt meetings four days a week, and knocking on doors at least once a week is not appealing to millennials, and with all the new technology at their fingertips, it doesn't take but a couple of clicks of a mouse to find enough disturbing info on the wts to encourage them to fade away.. so what to do?
well, if you can't beat em, join em.
after years of demonizing the internet, televangelists, showboating religious leaders, and discouraging anything that could lead a person to question their authority, they finally figured out they can't beat em.
I would love to see the CULT implode....I am so done with this cult....whether or not my wife ever opens her eyes. i am done....i am so sick of it.
so it has been quite a while since i've last been on this site.
the jist of my story is that about 5 years ago, i started a research journey that took me 2 1/2 years to complete.
against the advice of this board, i decided to show my wife because i mistakenly thought she valued truth.
Yahoo.....Great Job......marked
christ, my mind feels f***ed.
there is so many layers of indoctrination and rules and regulations in this, whatever this is (religion?
cult?
like everyone here states.....i too am in your situation. I just want to say heck with it and leave all out. i have no immediate family in. my wife is brainwashed into it. i would love to open her eyes, but, she will have to do it herself. I truely hate the BORG, i become sick just thinking about it. i don't care much for the doctrine...my biggest beef is the mind control and execution of the B.I.T.E model.
only time will tell where and when this will end.....but, it can't keep going. i will have to make a clean break, i just hope my wife comes with me. i know i bash her here sometimes....but, know this....i love her with every ounce of energy i have. i have told her over and over...i love her more than anything on the face of the planet and that includes the BORG. i pray to jesus all the time asking for him to help open her eyes. i am reading alot of hassan stuff and mind control stuff. and how to counter it subtlly...also i started see in counselor. which help alot.
if i could turn back time!
and joined your ranks.... this means...youre talking about a people, that currently are pushing no sex till marriage.
that would end and join into the messages you currently push regarding youths and sex.
that would be sex, with condoms.
I could only hope and pray they disappear. That POS cult is ruining my marriage. I hate them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
