does any one think the wt is going to go out this way?i know its dark but i can see it going down that way but i dont see it being the way there would go down..
When the scam is finally undeniable, I could see thousands killing themselves in shock.
It's one thing to wake up over time and feel suicidal. It's another to have to wake up with you face being slapped for days straight at a time.
Some of the uber dubs will crash and burn, I'm sad to predict... :(
i've been toying with the idea of just coming out and posting my name and location as an attempt to be available to locals that secretly browse the forum that have known me for up to 25 years.
( "reaching out", so to speak ).
i'm not da'd or df'd, so this most certainly could end in a dramatic confrontation.
**Two years out and gone**
The freedom has been wonderful and exhausting.
I value this freedom more than I thought possible.
The shunning is good/bad.
I miss a handful of people. That's sad.
Leaving the indoctrination and mindless JW conversations was the best decision ever.
That first step out was the hardest of all.
Research your religion and answer all your own questions.
Leave no stone unturned. The decision to stay or go will become clear to you.
I am at a place at life where I make choices only after I've been honest with myself.
north korea has taken president trump's recent statements as a declaration of war.
pyongyang reserves the right to shoot down american planes even if they are not inside their airspace.. i listened to trump's speech to the un with dismay.
it demonstrated a total lack of understanding of his enemy and the inevitable consequences of inflicting personal insults on kim jong-un.
I thought the Korean War never actually ended...
i have heard of this happening before, but how often?
its pretty rare it seems.
i have often wondered if the elders would go this route with me since they knew i was actively sinning, but as far as i know, no jc was ever formed.
Happened to me.
we're god's reliable mouthpiece, but not prophet?
jesus inspected all faiths in 1914?.
does everyone agree or is it more convoluted than that?.
Yet, the GB just came out and stated they are not 'inspired' and make organizational and doctrinal errors.
The truth is in plain sight, but:
1. dubs aren't looking
2. 'where would we go?'
3. many have their entire lives invested
4. many know TTATT, yet are trapped with threat of family shunning
bad all around~
so i sat and suffered through the clam tonight.. everything was pretty much as dull, repetitious, and simple-minded as i have come to expect, but i was really struck by the mind-numbing idiotic comments made during the part about shunning family.. then came the book study (no real bible use) loaded with self-congratulatory b.s about how wt never has, and never will beg, solicit, or ask for money.
i could feel myself beginning to channel the old tasmanian devil cartoon character as i listened to that garbage while remembering the jdubya tv shows about how more money was going out than coming in and give more.
but finally came the most ironic (to me) part of the entire meeting and i could not help bursting out in a loud belly laugh that got me many dirty looks and heavy frowns.
Wow. Now I want my wife to go to the meeting...
This could wake her up
once i left ,i was done.
in over 10 years i didn't return except for my mother's funeral.
did you ever re enter the kh after you left?.
Never will go back.
Not for my still in wife's family memorials or even hers.
I could never go back knowing what I now know.
I can't even imagine how it would feel to have all the JWs that know me in one place staring at me and shunning. Too horrible to contemplate.
I don't want to see the hate and judgement in their eyes.
i regular pioneered for 2 years and never have actually converted anyone through the door to door work, in fact, i only knew a few individuals that joined this way.
most were born-in or at least had some type of family influence.
i had several bible studies but they all got cold feet when things got serious and potential baptism was discussed.
In 25 years, i found no interest.

After all those years thinking this was the truth and then it all being lies...
That'll mess with you.
glad it isn't the 1200's...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbtad2c08xu3-25-89 to 9-10-15.. today is my two year shuniversary since they executed me for apostasy..
I have done some good for myself.
I've become a professional musician and have taken over leadership of a performing Big Band. I'm the trombone player front and center!
