  My experience

  thought i'd better say hi!

  to say i was once a "worldly person" would be an understatement.

  i consider myself to be a man who has "been there and done that" and enjoyed all the pleasures of the world.

  So happy you found out about the WTS cult....not only for YOUR sakes...but for the sake of your children. They will thank you one day!

  There is no love in the Jehovah's Witness congregations because they are not serving the TRUE God.....He is simply NOT THERE. God IS real...and He loves you. He's never had anything to do with the WTS cult. They are just one of many False Prophets on this earth that Jesus warned us about.

  All the best to you and your family. Congratulations on your new little one!

  .....my son and his wife are both jws and have been for years.

  the wife has pioneered for years, but i don't think she is now b/c she currently starting working.

  they have been talking about taking a vacation (something that they've never done).

  GOOD thoughts and advice! Thank you so much! I want them SO MUCH to realize that the WTS is NOT what it claims to be.

  Thanks again,

  .....My son and his wife are both JWs and have been for years. The wife has Pioneered for years, but I don't think she is now b/c she currently starting working.

  They have been talking about taking a vacation (something that they've never done). Also, my son is working on putting together a Facebook page.

  My question is: do you think they are starting to get less zealous about the WTS.....or am I just wishful thinking??

  Thanks for any thoughts you may have!

  Is the internet hurting new JW recruits?

  if someone came to your door with a religious message and you were attracted to it, would you immediately google the religion and find out its pros and cons?.

  You would think anyone with common sense WOULD do that.

  Hi, I'd like to introduce myself

  after several months of searching these forums i finally decided to join.

  i have to say i feel both nervous and excited at the same time.

  but everything i have looked into so far has helped me come to many realizations about the organization so i'm overall very glad to have joined.

  Hi and welcome!

  No one in my family is in the org but me, sadly, but then again not so sadly when I really think about it.

  Thank goodness for THAT! At least you won't have to suffer the pain that a lot of JWs suffer.....when their family & friends shun them for being DF'd.

  I hope you enjoy your new life....free from the mind control of the Watchtower Org.

  All the best to you!

  Hey...that's a great idea. loosie! Educating the public is the key. If you can prevent just ONE person from getting duped into this cult, it will be WORTH IT.

  Bless your endeavor!

  Unconditional love is the best kind. The JW religion does not have this. They only care about you as long as you are one of them.
