I wonder if this is why a number of the more erudite and useful contributors have left over the last 3 or 4 years ?
i wonder where they have gone ? Cant be redditt surely ?
and that other xjw site closed suddenly in recent years.
this site was and remains instrumental in assisting people that want to leave the jw's.. there has been political discussion here for some time now, a good couple of years and it makes me feel a little uneasy.
i just opened up the site for the first time in some weeks, of the 10 posts being discussed, 4 were by the same poster, about politics, promoting their right wing beliefs.. this has been the trend for some time now, the same name behind a peppering of posts stirring the right v left of politics.. i remain forever grateful to the site and it's founders simon & angharad, i appreciate that simon shares some of these these political beliefs.
it would be a shame to see the site evolve from a place for jw freedom of thought and escape, to political squabbling, that the world is frankly tired of right now.. just to clarify, politics is my hobby, whilst my friends read the football scores, i'm reading polling data.

i like subjects that delve into the history of the religion and proofs that the witnesses are not the true religion.
i’m not so much into apologists saying we need to go to meetings, especially if the poster looks like a scammer trying to get ex jws going.
what subjects interest you ?
i like reading any news about the watchtower being tn trouble.
i know i have made some uncomfortable at times and others have thanked me for telling them about the cult because some family member is one and they thought it was a bad cult but did not know details.
personally i take every chance i get to tell others about the cult.
.
the fact is--most JW's are nice people ( well--outwardly ), they genuinely believe in what they have known from their childhood. Its only when one tries to leave they find out just what a screwed up mess the cult really is. That's the message i try to get across to anyone who might be curious.
what a total bunch of asswipes the left has become.
now they have gotten the publishers to stop printing dr. seuss.
dr seuss.
which one is left ?

i do. Facebook community groups the subject of JW's comes up sometimes..i pull no punches. Well meaning sorts sometimes comment saying what nice people JW's are...
Harry was very popular in the UK.
I think his dad was proud of him.
i dont think hes a prince any more.
mince maybe.
why does the j-w forums have a demonic avatar as starting avatar?
why would a biblical religion even consider having demonic images included, in any of their content?.
i doubt he will be back. Probably Nigerian.
i stopped going to kingdom hall meetings about nine years ago.
i was fading for the longest time, refused to go out in field service, dropped out of the ministry school talks, no longer answered at the watchtower study, arrived at the meetings the last second, and left as soon as possible.
i couldn't take attending the meetings any longer.
It was a sunday public talk at a circuit assembly in my home town. I agreed to go with my born in wife to stop her nagging. autumn 1980. Later that evening we went for a meal with a married JW couple we were friends with.
Unexpected outcome---this led to me having an affaire with the married sis.
Nag and i separated in new year 1981 and divorced the same year. By then i was living with the other woman. It didnt last. But at least it severed any last remaining ties to the cult i grew up in and came to hate.
