  What is your opinion of the news media?

  to me they have an agenda and they really don't care about professional journalism.

  most are untrustworthy and that's a shame.

  Here's my perspective : I can choose or choose not to get upset about anything. I choose to not follow the herd of the media and get crazy about everything or nothing. After my life as a Witness I have learned there is virtually nothing that is the end of the world, so why choose to live my life as if everything is the end of the world.

  The media to me right now is nothing more than The Watchtower spouting their brand of the "truth" or the end of the world. They only have the effect you allow them to have.

  But you are leaving out the part about how the media is undermining him as well.

  Not saying it is right on either side.....

  I feel like the media right now is Chicken Little running around screaming "the sky is falling".

  You were not quoting either when you said " he has guns and bars behind him". Trump is not going to ban the media.

  Oh for heavens sake - trump isn't going to ban the media. It's like saying the government is going to ban the Witnesses. It's talked about to drive people to hysterics.

  i would like to have your opinion on something if you don't mind.

  my girlfriends dog, a scottish terrier, is a wonderful lovable dog about fiveyears old.

  my girlfriend owns a hair salon and takes her dog with her and the dog greets clients very lovingly.

  Sometimes it has to do with the energy they are giving off. Animals sense "vibes", so there is something there the dog isn't liking.

  I once left a District Assembly at lunch and spent the entire afternoon at the mall shopping. It was so much better than sitting at that boring assembly all day.

  Oh and one I forgot - I grew up terrified of the end of the world. Once you have faced down the world ending not much scares you 😀

  I would say leaving it had made me stronger, more resilient. I don't put up with shit. it has helped me be very much aware of when people are manipulating me or a situation. I have learned to evaluate things presented to me as facts, to see if they really hold true. I learned that people will only treat you as poorly as you allow them to. I am confident in my decisions and abilities. None of that came from being a Witness, it all came from leaving 😀

  Last Week I Got A Call From An Elder I Haven't Seen In 20 Years...😳

  while i was at work i got a phone call from an elder i haven't seen in decades!

  he started asking me questions about my family, my ex, and told me that he heard i "was no longer in the truth".

  i got a little defensive and he quickly picked up on it and assured me his call had nothing to do with checking up on me regarding the religion.

  After being out nearly 20 years, a sister from my childhood hall contacted my parents and asked for my address. I denied permission to give out my contact information. I have closed the book on the JW part of my life, and won't reopen it. Anyone still in the religion has nothing to offer me, not many can do what that elder did, and just act normal.
