list as an accomplishment on a resume, "i escaped from a mind control doomsday cult?".
sometimes when i reflect on it, the magnitude of this accomplishment amazes me..
No, although I am proud of myself for having the strength to leave it's a personal issue, not a professional accomplishment.
A mentor I had early in my career advised against discussing it with anyone at work as it could make me appear naive and gullible, for ever having been a part of it. That advice has served me well in my professional life.
i've been thinking this for a while.
even before the arc scandal.
it seems no matter what, the org.

wt claims their website is the 'most translated' and claims over 750 languages.
but in the drop down language menu there are only about 50. so where are the others?
we once experienced, the "you'll die at armegeddon," fear instilled into us as jw's.. was that worse or better than the fear of eternal torment instilled by more conventional religions?.
john spong gives his view.

I am not a member of any church, but I have visited on occasion (going with friends). The last church I went to was a Catholic Church, the service was very nice. The pastor talked about how to be better people and follow Jesus example of love and kindness. The service was very uplifting and enjoyable and there was a nursery/Sunday school program that the little ones seemed to enjoy.
There was no "OBEY or God will kill you talk" like at the Kingdom Hall.

he delivered the most cultic piece of propaganda i've ever seen in an assembly.
wife typed up the whole thing.
i will be posting when i get a chance.
all I can picture is one of those I'm with stupid shirts..........
We can't be too stupid because we all realized what a crock of &$@/ their religion is.
i was at a wedding the summer before i left the jws and i met an old friend.
he had been reinstated for 6 months, he was dfed for 4 years.
so it took him 3 1/2 years before they would let him back in.
a new letter was posted in jw.org to the elders who are under the brazilian branch:.
january 25, 2016to all bodies of eldersref .
: clap when given a readmission addear brothers:we would like to inform you about a recent adjustment.
It's all about control. You can't be happy someone is reinstated unless we say so, just like you couldn't talk to them until we say so.
I have been out so long that the thought of someone telling me I can clap seems ridiculous.
if jw`s come knocking at your door, do you open it & engage in conversation, tell them to sod off, or just not answer the door?.
my husband`s has asked me not to answer the door to them if he isn't here?
he hate`s the fact that they make a point of calling when they know he will be at work.
