Fantastic video, well done, without discussing the flawed doctrine and theology you are brilliantly exposing the cultish nature and human damage wreaked by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.

My finfings

i'm glad i found this website.

Some wise advice above from people who've exited successfully!

When I began my fade a concerned elder approached me, when confronted I simply told him I was taking a sabbatical from meetings...but why..I'm just taking a sabbatical...end of conversation.

Be polite but firm, you haven't got to answer any questions at all as to your beliefs, if you want to be a little mischievous you could say you've reallocated the time spent at meeting to reading Russell and Rutherford's books to get a better understanding of the history of the organisation and you've found it really interesting, perhaps they would too!

So my advice is simply go off the radar, like any other club or association resignation is not necessary, you simply stop going or paying your dues.

everything you ever wanted to know about 607 in 30 minutes.

I've watched it all, brilliant rebuttal of Watchtower dates, well worth investing 30 minutes of your time.

"The abuse was ignored because of misguided loyalty to "the absolute authority of the Catholic Church""

Sound familiar?

“An Uncomfortable History”

“The Report of the Commission to Inquire Into Child Abuse reveals an uncomfortable history of Ireland,” says The Irish Times. According to the newspaper, this report uncovers a history stained by the systematic abuse of children in Catholic religious institutions, ranging from “beating children whose crime it was that lice had infested their heads” to sustained sexual abuse. The abuse was ignored because of misguided loyalty to “the absolute authority of the Catholic Church,” says the paper. “Shame on You, Government and Church,” said a headline in the Times, quoting the words of one who sympathized with the victims.

ttatt=the truth about the truth..

Had doubts, researched on internet, ordered Crisis of Conscience from Amazon, couldn't put it down, read it in two days, made my decision, never went to another meeting. Explained to concerned elders I was taking a sabbatical, which so far has lasted 12 years!
