You don't have to win the lotto to leave. Install boundaries that keep them out. Or (and I can't remember your entire backstory) just disassociate and get distance that way. You have to create distance and it sounds like you're still playing their games. Maybe I'm missing something.

Ignore the elders, ignore the letter, quit engaging with them. You're only encouraging them to continue. You can't fade and regularly engage at the same time. They are opposites of one another.

Professions in the Paradise
by The Real Edward Gentry inwe know there will be no money in paradise.

we will be perfect at our jobs but that doesn't mean we will be perfect at every job.

Eve could open a fruit stand.
Job could help people forget their previous children, for after all, he had more too. Kind of a counseling service as one's work toward perfection.
Lot can mine salt for us all.
Esau can trade his fine soups for things.

From enemies to friends: Did it really happen?
by StephaneLaliberte inyesterday, they showed the story “from enemies to friends” at the kingdom hall.
my mother in law told me about it as she was touched by the story.
so then, later in the evening, i searched for the video and found it in the january 1st 2017 broadcast.

Any of us that have been on parts on conventions or assemblies can tell you that we were told to be "more encouraging" as our stories were fluffed up by elders and overseers. It's mostly fake juice.

Episode Four - Mike is shunned by Jehovah's Witnesses - Is Live Now
by dubstepped inin this episode we explore mike’s story of being shunned at an early age while still living at home, and how even today although he isn’t officially “shunned” he’s still treated that way as an inactive jehovah’s witness.
not all who are “shunned” are disfellowshipped or disassociated from the organization.
shunning is in the dna of jehovah’s witnesses, something that really marks them as a high control religion, also known as a cult.. .

Thanks for that message amicabl! That made my day. It's so cool to realize how far reaching this stuff can be. Seems the United States, UK, and Aussie-land are the big three. It's nice to think of the various ways that people listen. :)

My pleasure! I've got another interview done and up for editing for the beginning of January. I then have something special for February that I'll announce at the end of the January episode that I've started working on.
Oh, and if your version of this podcast has mono audio that's my fault. I've corrected it in the file that was uploaded, but for some reason if your podcast app downloaded the one with mono audio even downloading the new one seems to not change anything. I don't get it, but even if it's mono it's a good interview. I'm just picky about audio.

Dinosaurs in Paradise
by The Real Edward Gentry ini'm so thankful for sites such as this.
i realise it's our imperfection but god's organization is not always open to 'outside the box' thinkers such as ourselves.
i've been researching dinosaurs and god's reason for not preserving these beasts beyond the flood of noah's day.

Crazy statements from JWTalk
by Jehovah lol ini'm sure many of you are aware of the jwtalk site, a message board which has yet to succumb to apostasy (give it time).. some of the forums there are visible to the public, and i've seen some crazy stuff.
here is a sampling:.
"satan is really trying his best to make things worst for the witnesses, knowing the 6,000 years is almost up, from eve's creation!".

In a last ditch effort to find my place as I was waking up and in being a person that loves forums, I joined that place years ago. Those people are looney bin crazy and live in an alternate reality. I was ultimately banned for speaking out in a loving way, challenging their hateful diatribes against other human beings, etc. They are awful human beings over there. They fulfill the verses about having no natural affection.
