Just move, and then enjoy sleeping in on weekends.(if you can't move, a locked picket fence helps) After an extra cup of coffee, newspaper, and warm bed you will feel all better. :)

Alone
by Deleteandrestart insince i woke up one year ago , i've been doing a somewhat controlled fade , the experience i've had has been a very solitary one , i don't mean by not seeing anyone i know because i know hundreds in several congregations and i was an elder .
but just coming to terms with the fact that this was no longer the solution to life's problems, that i'd wasted so much time, that as i sat in the kh and heard everyone comment, my heart was no longer in it , i no longer fitted in ..... i felt that they were in the congregation all under the spell or some form of hypnosis from the wtbts,.
it was like for the first time in my experience at the kh , that i was the only one to see what was actually going on , the indoctrination, the guilt tripping, i could see it all as clear as day , and yet i had as it where a metal gag over my mouth, i couldn't speak to anyone about it for fear of them turning me into the spiritual police.

I found the racal demographic interesting. About 13% of the US is black. Within JWs that number is double.
The hispanic number is large, and I would expect that is were the US growth is. In the San Francisco Bay Area most of the new congregations were Spanish. A large number of english speaking hispanics attend Spanish cong., personal friends explained to me it was much more fun and family like. Based on spanish Congregation parties and gatherings I attended in times past, I would have to agree.

Steven Lett asks for money again
by Gorbatchov inthe 2016 january tv.jw.org broadcasting has a clear message: jw.org needs more money!.
the 2 months of donation increase is not enough: the thousands of projects are not a 2 month project.. so: thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you (heh heh heh) and send us more!
personal conclusion: if i had any doubts that the society is sincere, this openly money grabbing has made my perception complete.

I would rent some pick-up trucks and vans for Sunday mornings to park outside Kingdom Halls and Assembly Halls and have a large 4'x8' A frame sign in the bed 4" lettering with blown up famous Watch tower and Awake magazines. Themost famous Magazine Covers : dead Children (no blood), Generations, and "1975 ". Perhaps an old Rutherford "Religion is a snare and a Racket sign" ?. Perhaps some big GB 2.0 head shots with Pope Hats? A big inflatable Golden Calf with a blue JW.ORG between the horns? A big paper mache' Molech in the truck bed?
Actually i just got a cell phone call from an awakening JW AT THIS MORNINGS MEETING (40+ yrs in) who is looking at apostate WEB sites DURING the meeting!!!!! lol. He told me the recent GB talks are more damaging to his "faith" than any appostate site. Tight pants Tony, constant begging for money, and the Societies "defense" during the Royal commision inquiry is really shaking him up.
