I was surprised to find out that some my age had gone back to school to get better jobs.. One brother who had served at Bethel when he was younger and then started a cleaning business so he could pioneer.,went back to school and is now employed at a company as a a computer techie..It seems that a few of the generation who lived thru 1975 might be starting to wake up a bit and realize they need something for retirement.. and their bodies are getting worn out from 20 years of cleaning .

Im annoyed about this
by jambon1 inhaving been out of the org for a while now i have come to realise that when you think about certain viewpoints/activities of jw`s, it can really make you annoyed/upset/angry/laugh etc etc.
one thing that is pissing me off right now and has done for a while, is their attitude towards 'the worlds selfish pursuits'.
how often did you hear that those who seek an education to get a good job are 'seeking glory for themselves' and are doing the wrong thing.

Hear the elder lie!
by SickofLies ini've got the conversation my 'laywer' jason had with the head of my appeal hearing ghram, he refues to answer any questions about the recorder being tampered with, but denies that anyone named 'sean' was at the meeting, then later he talks about talking to 'sean' at the meeting!.
this guy is so desprate to cover his own ass.
btw, i will testify that the bag was closed when i was in the room before i left and that it was open after i got back.

wilkes barre times-leader, pa - 1 hour ago .
... so when he found out that pennsylvania hospital offered a third option - once only available to jehovah's witnesses - it was a relief.

Meanwhile.. the society is patting themselves on the back for forcing this new technology to develop by their no blood policy

YOU must pray, then, this way:
by ButtLight in"our father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified.
10 let your kingdom come.
let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.

Because the borg likes to make up arbitrary doctrines that make no sense... because they claim they are god-inspired..IT is just another judgemental policy on their part to make them look like they have "special' interpretation of the Bible

Its seems to be all personal perspective as far as I can see.. If you believe Jesus died for our sins.. then I guess he did.. If you think it is all a bunch of crock.. then I guess he was just some crazy guy who lived years ago and died for some crazy ideas...we can debate this until the cows come home...and agree to disagree.....

How long did it take you to get over it?
by AK - Jeff inone of the posters here - before i knew she was a poster here - in fact before i knew of this site at all, sent me an email early on in my exit.
she likened the whole leaving thing with grieving over a dead loved one - said it took most about two years to work thru all the phases of that loss - denial, anger, etc.. i think she had it about right - that's about how long it took me.
but without jwd it would have been longer.

WE had already been fading a year before we officially disassociated ourselves..and we had made some great "worldly" friends so..we really had no problems moving on.. My family were not JWS.. except for my mom .. but she died 3 years before we left.. It would have been very difficult to leave if she was still alive as she was very staunch JW... We left because we didn't want to raise our kids in JW org.. it wasn't until later when I found this site.. I also realized how twisted the society is in its teachings..

i've been lurking and learning for a few months.
former elder who drifted away due to congregation hyprocrisy and politics.. went through many of the feelings of inadequacy and/or lack of confidence for a while but the longer i was away the stronger i became.. i'll tell more about myself later but right now i want to thank all of your for sharing your thoughts and comments.. it's truly amazing how bright the light can get when you really learn the truth and get out of the "organization".
