how anyone with an ounce of common sense can stay in that cult is beyond me.
it keeps its membership through fear. if its members stopped worrying about dying and got on with living they would be a lot happier and healthier.
surely someone who eagerly looks forward to the death of billions of people (including babies and children) is not emotionally healthy?.
yet, that is the key belief "happily" anticipated by witnesses.... food for thought?.

i was just thinking about how the wts has been spouting off for years that satan and his demons were cast down to the vicinity of the earth in 1914, but really, when you think about it, what was the difference before 1914 or after 1914?.
its not like satan and his demons did not have access to the earth.
satan and his demons always were messing with earth.
some people point out the subliminal pictures in the wtbts publications but sometimes things are just so obvious, such as the title of the book above.. the person who came up with the title for this book must have had a good old laugh.. interestingly, this book first came out in 1988 and has not been included in the online library but nothing has replaced it.
the org is really going backwards when they ditch old light and cannot come up with anything new.
they are real wankers ;)..
i think the opening post to this thread is totally lost on most of the repliers. lol.
maybe someone could post the deaf masturbation video link at this stage. they might then get the point.
i wonder how many of us here hold on to this meeting place out of "loneliness.
could it be that we harbor feelings of "abandonment" and "loneliness" from being left cold and dry by the wt people and our families?
perhaps we do have a need to reach out to people with similar experiences.
i was introduced to this site in 2010.
i was brought up in the cult from age 10 till i quit at 23. i eventually came to terms with the loss of my kids to it.
many years passed by--till i found out my older son had been d/f--and i was worried about him. eventually--i found him--through facebook--and also discovered this brave new apostate world. my son has no interest in the cult--and even less in the xjw world either. hes moved on.
it is true i lead a very lonely--isolated life--and this site in many ways is a social online contact resource. i have no interest in anything bible-related--in fact i stop reading as soon as any scripture is quoted.
i really like reading life stories of others who have found their way out.
what is the monthly stipend that the bethelites receive every month?
does any one has an actual number?
hi all, does anyone know of or has a link to rutherford's letter to ollin moyle.. i 'm just trying to sow some seeds of doubt as to whether boozerford could have had god's holy spirit.. thanks all x.
Boozerford----!!!!!!
sister--really--thats most disrespectful of our dear Brotherturd.
it's been a minute since i was here.
question?
what to do with old books and magazines?
the theme of the jw calendar 2016 is building, building, building.
all the calendar pictures are about building wts property with cheap labor witnesses.. and then, just before the year approaches the building has halted.. it seems a short term decision.
a strange correlation again.. gorby.
back in 2007. and now the hedge funds are reporting losses.
could this be why watchtower is crying how broke they are?.

i joined this site about 4 years ago and life was very different to say the least.
i was a jw and started the process of 'waking up' after experiencing life threatening blood loss due to complications of a pregnancy.
i was married with two kids (husband was an ms) and was a stay-at-home mom.
s: “Stop keeping company with anyone called a brother who is sexually immoral or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man.”
so--if you disassociate--you are no longer calling yourself a brother--so how can this apply to you ? ( this is what i did )
