i know that some are upset because of the time lost because of ever having been a witness.
have you moved on as an ex jw or are you stil devastated because of your past jw lige?.
Nope. It didn't change me irrevocably. It did impede my maturation however. But that's common to most cult followers. It's also common to drug addicts, so I guess it's got a lot to do with dependency.
Ultimately, once you've left, you will go through a period of realisation, then outrage, then whining, but eventually you realise that no-one said that life is fair - or equal - and you just get on with it.

Does Cedars love the sound of his own voice?
That should pretty well tell you all you need to know.
aside from obvious things that most people agree on, like theft being wrong and the importance of family, i can't think of a single thing i agree with the jws on, nothing that's specific to their religion anyway.
do you have any?.
I agree that marriage should be between a man and a woman.

Lord spare me from another narcissist:
my pimi (physically in, mentally in) friend believes she was marked without them telling her.
i believe her, and she has been making work for the elders.
she is a pain in their arse, and they are a pain in hers, which is great.
This is after my time. I'm curious as to what takes place.

Perhaps they mean that there are no longer enough COs to go round since many of them are waking up to the JW racket.
So it could be that the ratio has increased. Say initially 500 - 1, if half of the CO's have gone the ratio would be 1000 - 1.

Due to the increase we have witnessed over the past few years, a number of circuits have grown.
Reminds me of a newspaper advert for recruitment: "Due to expansion we require even more salesmen.." In other words, we need to constantly replace our discontented and disillusioned workforce.

Jehovah's progressive organisation. Well I never. Someone please remind of what Scripture it is that refers to Jehovah's organisation.
hopefully more are on the same path.
here is the story..... this person i know was the model jw, and them and their spouse could have really moved up.
they knew i was gone and awhile ago started asking me questions.
OK, so tight fitting pants aren't exactly macho. And yes, they are a bit effeminate and make a fella look as though he's mincing when he walks. But I hardly see that as a plot by the gay community to seduce young JW males into a life of debauchery.
for me, beyond any shadow of a doubt, it's the extreme shunning policy.. at a recent sunday meeting, i listened to a complete brainwashed sister saying how important it was that we stick to the shunning policy even if it is a close relative.. i just thought.
wtf.
there is a big difference between the brainwashed and the awoken class!.
Blood's thicker than water. I've seen relatives of DF'd one's swing first one way then the other over their DF'd children. Seen letters of withdrawal addressed to DF'd ones, only for a year later for there to be contact. Then another talk or WT resulting in another goodbye letter - only for the impetus to fade yet again as normal blood ties reassert themselves. Relatives of DF'd ones bounce in and out of their convictions. Not fun for anyone.
