Group study. Reading the societies interpretation of the prophesies of Ezekiel and thinking to myself "Why am I devoting all of my life to an organisation that dwells on these manic fantasies."
So I left.
good afternoon , .
i wanted to ask everyone here , what was your trigger to waking up ?
i have been waking up for a long time , but in looking back it’s hard for me to look at one event and say “ ah ha “ , i think mine is like a slow leak - like a crack in a damn - and then hold on , because after that it’s just a flood of information.

there are four ways to leave the 'truth'...... alive............you can be disfellowshiped...... then shunned, you can formally disassociate yourself and be shunned........ you can fade.
the first two words belong to the society, fade on the other hand is defined as 'to gradually grow faint and disappear.
' 'walking away' has it's own negative connotation about one's commitments and relationships.. i think some folks feel uncomfortable with these words.
Spot on. It's all about not entering into their world. There's so many language traps, so many buzz words and phrases that one can easily find oneself saying such stupid things as "I'm leaving the Truth!"
You have to move away psychologically and verbally. If you are determined to get into dialogue, and this includes dialogue with yourself as well as JW's, Jehovah must become your Creator, disfellowshipping must become excommunication, the ministry work simply door-knocking or canvassing. There's many more that can be added, I'm sure.
greetings, friends across the two ponds:.
of course, as per other posters' recommendations, i could google this; i have and remain, not totally confused, but wanting the straight dope as well as nuanced meaning.
i'm both curious and needing to know for purposes of editing works of american and british writers.
I think of myself as English first, then British. Never, ever as European though.

Pants is underwear. Suspenders hold up ladies stockings.
Otherwise, most of what you need to know is explained very simply here: http://projectbritain.com/britain/greatbritain.htm
backward masking of cd`s / vinyl records etc opening up to demon influence way back in the 60`s-80`s do they still talk about this ?
and how about dvd`s is that the new scare ?
of demon influence /control over you ?.
This came out a while back and the dubbies claimed that many of the words were satanic. Nothing to do with the sexy girlies!
greetings, former children:.
i really miss my childhood home, which we left in 1960. dad sold it for some 12,000 dollars; it recently sold for somewhere under 1.5 million.
it's only a tiny bungalow but in a prosperous bay area town, not too far from san francisco, california.. the art and literature that are so important to me -- and for many others of us -- got their start in my heart and mind here in the california mountains.

again with the pants... tony, if you can't stop looking at young men in tight pants don't take it out on the rest of us.
