Jonny Depp, I don't know how you could afford to read them, unless you are the author of course. You certainly gave them a good write up.

Survey: How long were you in the cult vs what year you were baptized
by ILoveTTATT2 inhi people,.
i want as much data as possible on the effect of the internet on the time captured by the cult.. please answer the three following questions about yourself or about someone you know (for example, if your parents or grandparents were jw's and left).
1) were you raised as a jw, or did you convert?.

Brooklyn Bethel Tours Through The Roof
by freemindfade inwas speaking with someone last night who just recently toured the us bethel's.
the brooklyn tour i heard was awful, very limited and disappointing and conducted by a local pioneer and not even a bethelite.
well from what they are telling the folks on the tour since the tm3 bit encouraging (guilting) people about going to disneyland on vacation when you haven't visited bethel, monthly tours went from 6000 to 16000!

I was in the US in 1995 from Australia and toured Brooklyn Bethel. I was at 25 Columbia Hts building and saw I think Bro Henshell (bald guy). Anyway it was made clear to me not to speak to him. Why, is he God or something? I went there to kick start my spirituality which had been lagging for as few years, but that and a few other observations kick started my fade instead.

The Society cares more about Mark Sanderson's stick of Judah than the elephant in the room
by truthseeker ini just watched the segment of mark anderson's, gb member, talking at the annual general meeting.. they care more about obscure prophecies than the child abuse crisis in the organization.. he talks about the two and ten tribe kingdoms of israel, the stick of joseph and stick of judah, and likens it to the anointed and great crowd.. what a bunch of craziness!.
this is the kind of crap spiritual food the drones get..

And then they will have new light so what he said will be obsolete, it is anyway. Yes they fail to address the real issues, things that are actually happening. -

Daniel Craig doesn't do it for me either. Wrong look, wrong everything. Not suave.
JB needs to be a guy. George Clooney would be good but is not English. I would love to see Timothy Dalton or Pierce Brosnan back.

What is your purpose or what do you wish to accomplish while a member of this board?
by Tenacious inwhen i joined this forum i was seeking more people who felt the same way i did in terms of seeing the jehovah's witness organization for what it truly was; a false prophet.. once i found like-minded members i slowly started to open up and participate more in trying to help others that were also exiting mentally and physically.
today, i offer support to anyone who desires it regardless of what they believe or not believe.. so what is your purpose on this board?.
support?

I thought I was the only one who thought the way I did and was miserable in the org. Since joining this site and others, I now know there is a whole lot of people feeling the way I do and they are from all over the world. Learning of the true history of the org from Russell onwards has been an eye opener as well as the picking apart of bible teachings.
