compared with the six million jehovahs witnesses worldwide the .
so-called apostates are comparatively much smaller.

hello all, i havent posted on here in a very loooonnngggg time, but i have been reading alot of the posts, anyhow my life has changed a bit this month....a little background.....my fam is all witnesses and my dad is an elder, anyhow ive been living on my own since 19 and i am 25 now, i had to move out cause of the elder thing and me not doing anything with the "truth"...so this whole time ive been living in apartments and now i want my own house....so my lease was up in jan 1st and i needed a place to stay while i house hunt and save up a bit.
so my dad said hey why dont u stay here until your all set again, so i said okay thats nice of ya.
so now he wants me to attend the bookstudy because it wont make anyone say hey he shouldnt be living with u.....stupid adults being stumbled by a father looking after his own son....i just dont get it.
Hello and Welcome
I know if I was going to attend the book study.....I would refer to the old revlation book as much as I could.
Just to see what changes they made.
its all in the attitude...

i have been out for years now but i still tremble alittle when i run into an elder at the store or run into an elder on the street and my post question certainly applies to me as well but why do i still have fear of jw's elders?
i have been da'd for so many years but that fear still comes up.
and reading alot of the post here i still see ex-jw's and jw's faders living a pretended jw life or pretending to be happy when they are miserable in the wt.
I think it just takes years to DE-Program
After a while ... look forward to the shunning of them.
.
That was so good
Thanks.

remember how many families (maybe even yours) struggled with money issues while being a jdub?
i remember lots of families under stress due to being jdubs.
you are always told by the tower not to work overtime if it conflicts with the meetings and not to go for higher education, for the same reason.
2007

Plan the work....Work the plan.

lovelylils post made me think.... dubs pretty much rule that particular sector.
my mother was more proud of me working for the p.o.
cleaning toilets than if i had gone on to be a doctor.
Yeah
I was for a while
Thank God I saw the light
.
and introduce myself.
i was raised in "the truth", and for the longest time it was all i knew.
i spent my childhood going through all the things that other witness children went through; not celebrating holidays, not standing up and reciting the pledge of allegiance, not going to school events, or associating with "worldly" children much.
Welcome...WELCOME...WELCOME

remember that awake march 22, 1993 on page 4.......in the left side of the page.
they mentioned that in the eagerness...suggesting dates....they did'nt presume to originate predictions 'in the name of jehovah.. notice: they did'nt say " these are the words of jehovah".
its that they decided all by themselves.. .
Confession
You are right on track, ... Warlock said it best... We have done the deep research, and we know... When I was
a brainwashed JW all I had to do is go to the meetings and thats it ... a lazy way of life.
We just believed we had the truth, (until we found out it was The Lie)

wbt$ liturature is a failing business..donations down..costs remain the same..at some point a decision has to be made to stop hemoraging money..wbt$ has many business interests..sometimes a corporation will sell a failing business off to another corporation..that corporation will buy the business in hope of turning it around and makeing a profit again.....do you think the wbt$ would ever put the "jehovah`s witness religion" up for sale?...outlaw
Backed away
LOL
