we don’t get many invitations to congregational social gatherings.
we don’t attend midweek meetings and miss about 1/3 of sunday meetings.
we go in service at least once a month.
"on some level, they don't want "lukewarm" folks around.
So true vidiot!
Remember the word WT uses, "exemplary." If you are not "exemplary", they won't invite you to their reindeer games. My response, "you can shove your reindeer games where the sun don't shine."

Yes, if you don't follow all the WT/JW rules and tick all the boxes, you are not invited to their little events. At least she actually said it out loud. I would tell that what you said right there is why I no longer attend and why I no longer want to be a part of "Jah's loving organization." And they wonder why there Kingdom Halls are emptying and they are selling them off.
i had an interview on bbc one.
before i write about it and the jws, just a quick reminder.
since my book was published two years ago, jws avoid me even though i am not disfellowshipped.
Yes, we have JW family just waiting and watching to see us fall our faces. Can't ya just feel the love?
Good for you! Keep giving those interviews and keep exposing WT for what it is. It will take JW's realizing that they wasted their lives slaving for a real estate company that has grown very wealthy off the backs of the poor JW's who have broken their backs and opened their wallets, so WT can get rich. Then, when these one's hit retirement age, they realize they are broke and WT is not there for them.
i haven’t posted in awhile.
my wife asked me after the year 2000 came and went without fanfare(because the wt organization said all the “new world” would be here within this 20th century would end), “ what would it take for you to leave the truth?”.
my reply was “ if i turn 60 in this “system of things”.
"My Son, Mother, Step Father, Brother & Sister have also stopped going and I have formed new friendships"
Fantastic! You are still young. Enjoy life and freedom and love those who truly love you! The rest are not worth your time. Great news!
You will be amazed at how much time you truly have without doing all the JW "tasks."
We left in our late 40's. Took our kids with us. BEST LIFE EVER!!!
what happens when an elder learns the tatt.. https://youtu.be/tkyujamfziq.
I think we are starting to see more and more Elders make their exit. My spouse and I read several posts on reddit last night. Many Elders seem to be waking up.
every once in a while you hear people say they actually “miss” their old witness friends and or family.
some would have even stayed in the organization if they became a bit more liberal and open minded.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!!!
in february, oxygen will premiere a two-part documentary about the jehovah’s witnesses in which a journalist who has spent five years looking at the group alleges “an abuse story that has layers of coverup.”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wy4qx7lraa.
Even if this get's just one person out and let's the public know what this corrupt cult does to people, it's so worth it. Watchtowers reputation is taking a hit and Watchtower know's it. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK EVERYONE!!!
i have just got of the phone with a relative complaining about the convention venue.
as far as my relative is concerned wt can do no wrong, so for him to say what he did it must of been bad.
the venue where the convention was held was described to me as a “tin shed with no air conditioning”.
When JW's start complaining (rightly so), WT gives some sort of talk about murmuring. In others words...."shut up and sit down and enjoy the spiritual food that Jehovah (aka, the Borg) has so lovingly prepared for you."
the co got on his hind legs for the public talk and repeated twice "tolerance promotes division".
then backed it up by saying that if one group march for some right, another group will march for the opposite.. so jws are intolerant and proud of it.
f@@@k me sideways.. may explain that the baptism tally was 0..
Most of the CO's we have come across, in the years in the cult, just DON'T and never will get it. They are sheltered from the real world and are owned by WT. They are financially bound by WT and their little green handshakes. What came out of their pie holes were not worth worrying about. In fact, the last CO, was the one who made the decision for us, that we don't belong in this cult. A true self serving, arrogant ass hat!
in 1976 when i was a young lad of 6, fred franz came to glasgow and gave a talk in govan a suburb on the south side of the city (for those of you who dont know).
our congregation hired a bus to ferry us all to the hall and it was standing room only.
being only 6, i have only the vaguest of memories other than an old man shouting and bawling from the stage.
A family member once told us that he met Brother Knorr. He said that "he trembled when he met him." What? He's just a man. No....he's a "rock star."
