  i was born january 15, 1947in mt.

  carmel hospital, detroit, michigan.. within six months of my birth, my mother would bundle her baby boy into a blanket and board an american airlines propeller-driven plane--in effect, leaving my father behind--to return to her hometown, ft. worth, texas.. my dad had an excellent job working for cadillac as an inspector.

  it was a union job.

  Joe attends Iglesia Ni Christo church service

  well i have heard various comments about them on here, so last week i decided to do an internet search on them.

  i was quite surprised to find there was an inc in my local area and ironically only meters away from the kh.. it was very interesting to say the least, and in the short time i was there i could quite understand how they get there reputation as a high control religion if not a cult.

  in some respects i think they are probably more jw than the jws.. let me explain how my visit went.

  not any more.

  i resigned from the cult in 1971--aged 23. i attended a meeting every few weeks to keep the nag sweet. no one shunned me---i think most accepted i was no longer a jw--but had done nothing "wrong"--which i hadnt.

  then in 81 i had an affaire with a married dub--she was d/f, but it was announced--in my absense--that i couldnt be d/f--because i wasnt a witness! proof positive! but--i was an apostate--so should be shunned by all.

  i really couldnt care less.

  my wife divorced me--but i kept joint custody of my kids. a few years later--i remarried--and life became very difficult in maintaining contact with my kids. i realised they were being turned against me--to the point they refused to meet with me any more. they wwre shunning me!

  things went from bad to worse--solicitors letters back and forth..until in the end i was advised to back off and leave them alone. at this stage--about 1988 i became very bitter towards the cult--i knew they were being brainwashed into it. luckily--my own jw parents never shunned me--and i think this resulted in my father ceasing to be an elder.

  after this i lost all connection to the jw cult---it was years later my father let slip my son had been d/f--but didnt know any details..

  it was around 2009 i discovered this crazy online worldwide gang of ex-jw.s. i had no idea the cult had grown so big! i thought it had all but died out.

  now-- i spend far too much time on ex jw internet sites like this..ive seen quite a few come and go

  i'm not angry towards the individual dubs--just because friends from 40 years ago have shunned me doesnt mean ive shunned them! any would be more than welcome to look me up--if they have seen the light and quit.

  i like to read anything that paints the watchtower in a bad light. its nothing more than a business--selling god. i think the kingdom hall cash grab will be the undoing of it all, i know back in the 60's it was the dream of most dubs to have their own hall. to have to move out--sell up and hand over their cash must cause a lot of deep rooted anger--even though most wont admit it.

  from time to time i come across pro-dub comments on some facebook sites--and i usually try to provoke a debate or argument. it passes the time--but accomplishes nothing.

  @truth b known. i agree. i could well see that happening in the wealthier countries--where there are lots of high value kingdom halls ripe for turning into a fat profit.
