Welcome to the club! It gets better every day. But man it's hell in the beginning. It's also a lot easier when you and your spouse are on the same page. One less thing to fret over.

A big hello and thank you
by iwasblind ini just wanted to introduce myself and say a big hello to all of my mentally diseased friends.. i say friends because i have been lurking for some time so it feels like home (us lurkers are a bit scared and cautious so it takes a while).
i won't bore you with too many details, but i am a born in, currently serving as the cobe of a congregation.
my wife and i have pioneered for the last 10 years and were shaken awake by that ridiculous 15th july 2013 wt about the generation and 1914.. my wife who is much smarter than me has questioned for years.

We were always counseled to not marry during the bloom of youth because we were not yet mature enough to understand the implications. How do they explain this? -

Just remembered a conversation I had with my father.
by Butyoucanneverleave inwhen i started my fade i called my father to talk to him about some stuff that was bothering me.
i got absolutely nowhere.
he read matthew 24:45-47. i finally asked him that if the governing body asked him to jump off of a bridge would he do it.

Mothers day makes me emotional because mine is no longer with me. My father is my only parent and for him to turn his back on me hurts. I wish he was the one who died instead of her. I know that sounds horrible but she would not shun me. She said that she would never turn her back on her children. -

I finally asked him that if the governing body asked him to jump off of a bridge would he do it. I asked him this 3 times. And 3 times he replied "we'll have they ever". He just could not say no. He finally told me that nothing would come between him and Jehovah. Except a cult that makes him shun his own child. We haven't talked in years. It's so sad. Cognitive dissonance is a powerful thing. I know . I had it for years. I'm a stronger person now. -

The present Governing Body will rule the U.S.A.
by John Aquila ini havent gone to meetings in about 1 year and a half.
one of my neighbors who is a jw-lady told me that the co on the last visit said that its very likely that right after armageddon (which is just around the corner) the present governing body members will be in charge of the united states since they are familiar with the culture.
and that the apostles and early christians will be in charge of areas like china.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! I only saw 1 black guy in this video. Apparently this cult basically caters to stupid white people. I still can't believe that I ever was a part of that nonsense. -

Who REALLY believed in the idea of living forever on earth??
by stuckinarut2 inseriously.....even when you were 100% in "the truth", did you really believe in living forever?
?

Butyoucanneverleave
I did ! I still would love to live forever in a perfect world with a perfect body. But I know it was just a dream. It's a very hard day when you realize that you were duped by this cult and you will die just like everyone else has. -

We used to have some say "if you can go to the mall you can go to the hall" and "if you can sit at home you can sit at the hall". MORONS! -

How do you feel about religion as a whole?
by FatherFirst init just seems to me religion in general primarily makes truly bad people worse, not genuinly good people better; and in many cases has even made good people do bad things in the name of their religion.
just curious, a personal poll if you will.
what are you guys' current views on religion as a whole?

My spouse always said that religion as a whole is a hole. -

Take subway to work? Count your time!
by ShirleyW ini was sitting next to a sister this evening who during the whole ride she had one of those plastic folders that holds the mags and pamphlets, she had both spanish and english and was holding the folder out in front of her until she got off the train.
i asked her if she was counting her time, she said yes (of course she asked how do i know about that).
she said it's not easy talking to the people in the station (seemed like she meant standing with the trolley or just the mags) because sometimes people say things that aren't nice, so she counts her time on her daily commute.

I knew of jw's that would place literature in their cars rear window when on vacation and count that as time. These people are unbelievable. It's all about appearances and what others in the hall think of them.
