i think that once you get on the internet and you see evidence that shows jehovah’s witnesses do not have the real truth, it can jolt you.
but i don’t think simply going on an internet site typically changes a person’s direction—even if the information is very damning toward the witnesses.
i think it takes time to eventually get out.
This site and others have helped me and my spouse. It is kind of a therapy for me. So many similar experiences and stories. It has also assisted my spouse and I to have a successful fade and play things OUR way.
Thanks to everyone on here for contributing!!!
hi there folks.. i took a bit of time out from the forum, however i'm back again.. what was it really like for you, your experiences good or bad, etc, in the org?.
if you were granted a listening ear by the gb, what changes would you like to see implemented?.
I felt like a second class citizen. I have NEVER felt that way anywhere but in the JW world.
i think she’s very intelligent and dignified.
plus, in my humble opinion, i rate her as the most attractive first lady ever..
Classy lady!!!
this manipulative new caleb and sophia video has got me so angry!!.
the level of cultiness has just gone to a whole new level!.

What a complete load of BS that one was!!
So Sophia can not be at the top of her class unless she cheats! Really WT? I guess kids can't be smart from hard work and study!!
This type of propaganda makes me sooooo happy we are out !!! Our kids are out too!!! Thank God!!!
the wt for this upcoming sunday 10/07 is especially precious in its standard double speak.
aren't we so grateful to the f&ds who directly mediates our relationship with jesus christ and give us the food we need at the proper time?
i dunno....maybe i have anger issues with the the wt?.
Worried much WT? If rank and file members were not leaving, they would not print this. People are leaving. WT will still be around but will be a much smaller cult than before!
you have to read this.

When you mix JW Bunker videos with drugs or prescription drugs, it can make an interesting car ride. JW nutters are a dime a dozen.

Great links. Thank you Barbara!
My spouse and I feel like sending all of these links to our still in families.
let's say an aunt or uncle dies.
.
let's say you barely knew them.. let's say their memorial service was held at the kingdom hall.. let's say if you attend, you have to deal with shunning from family and jws, and you are forced listen to them present their paradise promotional materials, and the dead person's "earthly hope™", and let's face it ... the heeby-jeebies of having to be in a kingdom hall again.. would you put yourself through it?
No. I will never step foot into another KH! I cringe when I just drive by one.
i was commenting on another thread about how local kh attendance is down.
memorial attendance was also way down and the circuit assembly had hundreds less people than what is typical.
my jw family has even mentioned it.
"so I'm still aware of the spectacular increase of the "great crowd"
Yes, we are hearing the same thing from a full in/brainwashed family member. "You should see the increase." Our thoughts when he says it...."yeah right."
Legends in their OWN minds!!!
it really hurt to hear brothers and sisters commenting about this at the meeting yesterday.. "as in solomon’s case, one of the greatest threats to spirituality is friendship with those who do not understand or respect jehovah’s standards.
some may be associated with the congregation but may be spiritually weak.
others could be relatives, neighbors, coworkers, or schoolmates who are not worshippers of jehovah.
Part of our very own family limits their association with us. They have for years. Even when we still attended. ONLY the most uber of the uber get invited to family events. Oh well, we are very generous gift givers and quite frankly very nice people! Their loss!!!!
