  “Divergent”: “He's a coward. Didn't dare to post a comment where everyone would see it!”

  Actually, I’m not really a “coward” so much as I choose to play it safe and cautious in order to not subject my longtime JW parents to any sadness, emotional pain, or shame. As much as I detest the JW cult for its dishonest and harmful policies and practices, I also know that my parents are very good, quality, and basically kind folks. The fence on which I must walk is more of a tightrope, but the real villain here is the WT cult organization, and I wouldn’t want my parents to suffer needlessly on account of it. Emotional blackmail, yes. It’s certainly a test of my unselfish compassion toward my mislead but very loving parents. (My sister and her family, and my aunts – well, that’s another story. We’re not exactly close, so to hell with ’em.)

  “The Marvster”: “One thing I love about the youtuber JwFairytale, is he actually makes videos, answering, or mocking these abusive people, or analyzing their ridiculous objections to his video content, hilarious to watch.”

  I just watched a couple of YouTube videos by this “JwfairyTale” guy for the first – and last – time. All I can say is, Wow! I don’t know quite what to make of that thing, but his videos could only do us “apostates” a disservice because any JWs could point to that and say, “Wow, look at those crazy apostates! They’re mentally diseased alright, and that one must obviously be demonized to boot,” and rightly so. Now, I wouldn’t be in a position to make any wager on the guy’s mental health, but I would say that a trip to a mental health doctor would definitely be in order. (And fast!)

  I’ve never had any threats from YouTube at all. But I’ve also never put anything on it at all either. So, I’m safe that way. But as soon as I’m able to make a break for it and physically leave JW land completely, then I will no doubt put some kind of item on it, and I will also use my full real name everywhere (including here). But, alas, in order for me to divulge that level of public exposure, I will unfortunately have to wait until my elderly long-time JW parents pass away – and it looks like that will take quite some time. But until that eventuality, it will be just baby steps for me. (Man, it’s tough being a people-pleasing double-lifer!)

  I have been noticing this too. The only way that I can actually “sign out” on my phone is by clearing my browser’s cache, or “Website Data.”

  One Year Later - A Thank You to Tony Morris.

  dear anthony morris, iii:.

  i wanted to send you a note of "thanks" on this special day.. why is this day special, you may ask?

  one year ago today, you, tony, woke me up to the fact that the governing body could not have jehovah's blessing or direction.. last year, on november 8th & 9th, 2014, the united states branch visit was broadcast to over 1,000,000 jehovah's witnesses across the country.. as i sat at the kingdom hall listening to the "historic occasion," i was ignoring certain doubts that had surfaced in the few months prior.

  Maybe my eyes aren’t working right, but those two photos of this Chris Pine fellow couldn’t be indicative of the tight pants which Anthony Morris III was talking about. They just couldn’t be. From what I remember about Morris’ stupid talk, I think that he must have been referring to some kind of exercise pants, like some sort of tight jogging pants or “yoga pants” – which would make more sense, because I couldn’t imagine anyone going out jogging in a suit such as Chris Pine was wearing in those photos. It doesn’t make sense to me, unless I’m really missing something or perhaps having a stroke.

  Although, either way you look at it, even if Morris was referring to those form-fitting things people wear while jogging (yoga pants? sweat pants? I don’t do much jogging anymore), it sure is quite petty and pharisaical to focus on something so very trivial, especially during such a supposedly “important” talk. I think Jesus would have had some more intelligent, important things to say.

  “WingCommander”: “"The beatings will continue until morale improves. Also, give us your money! All of it! We are God's Mouthpiece, do you hear us? We need money, ALL of it! Take Sophie's ice cream money, take Caleb's toy money, and shove it into the contribution box, NOW! All of it! Obey us, or DIE! And as always, Agape from your loving Shepherds, The Governing Body."”

  Priceless! It’s funny how much the GB manipulates, castigates, and exploits the little underlings while wrapping it all up in the auspices of “agape love.”

  “LisaRose”: “Truly happy people are not bothered by the possibility that some people might not agree with their life choices.”

  Absolutely. JWs always have an inherited need for validation and vindication. They always have to be seen as right, special, and morally superior to the rest of the world. I’ve recently learned that this behaviour is really a form of codependency. They’re all really addicts of the magical WT opium.

  Your parents should be in prison for treating you the way they did. It makes me mad how people can get away with that.

  “hoser”: “The householder was in the printing business and looked the magazine over and said it would cost about 3 cents to make this.”

  True. The WT now prints a 16-page Watchtower plus a 16-page Awake! on one single double-sided press sheet, which had used to include a 32-page magazine. So, basically, each of those press sheets – which now include a 16-page Watchtower plus a 16-page Awake!, are really just one big glorified flyer – which as we know cost basically nothing per unit.

  The WTS is so unique in its stance of absolute exclusivity and shunning, but they readily scream persecution to any perceived challenge to their authoritarian precepts, including the contravention of the UN’s Charter, which guarantees a person’s right to change his/her religion without undue consequence.
