I've been threatening my 8yo son to take him to a meeting, so he can understand how boring my upbringing was. With all this, he won't be able to appreciate just how tough meetings were to sit through.

Bible not historically accurate or scientifically accurate, the name "Jehovah and it's use in the NT, resurrection promise, paradise earth unfounded in scripture, quote mining , child abuse and the "two Witness rule.
In light of the evidence you presented, it is fairly clear who are blinded.

Year Average Publishers Baptisms 2011 7,395,672 263131 2012 7,538,994 268777 2013 7,698,377 277344 2014 7,867,958 275581 2015 7,987,279 260273 The number of baptisms has not increased in 5 years. Printing an additional 16 million tractazines per issue has zero affect on growth. This is simply a chest beating exercise for JW's to be able to gloat over perceived growth, when there is none.
JW's use the huge number of magazines printed and number of languages translated as evidence that they are reaching all the inhabited earth, yet that too is a misnomer, since 60 million does not scratch the surface of reaching earth's 8 billion inhabitants.

Where Can One Get Answers To Questions From JWs?
by Cold Steel inthere's also a fellow who calls himself the "watchman," but he seems as critical as many of the so-called "apostates.
" is there a place where one can ask questions from knowledgeable believers or "a" believer?
i really don't want to take the bible lessons.

I won by a knockout in the third round.
Are you sure? I guess they are saying the same. For a certainty, your knockout didn't knock them all the way into the JW religion, and probably didn't even get them out of their own delusion.

Love for the Hate
by IronSharpensIron ini just wanted to share a perspective related to my experience with leaving the jw.
at this point, i have been df'd since i was 18. i'm 25, happily married with 2 fantastic children.
after being miserably at odds with my parents and extended family, i've come to some realizations as follows.. i struggled with the conditional nature of my parent's love- talking to me until it bothered their conscience, then cutting me off.

I support your sentiment here. I too have found that I feel better not treating my family as they treat me. I allow my son to Skype with his Grandmother, as I think it is important for him to know her. He knows she is not to discuss religion with him and I follow up the calls to know what was discussed.
On another note, with your permission, I would like to add your comment to the experiences section of jwfacts.com as it perfectly describes the dynamics of shunning and JW families.

Why not word it like this: "Being guided by the above recommendations will
avoid unfounded accusations and willprotectthe reputation of our organization.our children."They want to protect the elders and protect the organisation. What they should be wanting to protect are the children, and Jehovah's name. A very revealing sentence.

This is somewhat contradictory. The letter states that elders don't have habitual contact with children, so don't need to obtain certification, then goes on to admit that elders may have habitual contact with children, but they still won't get the certification. It seems to be trying to circumvent the new law, and is reminiscent of how they tried to avoid the Working With Children legislation in Australia. I would be interested in seeing what the body that maintains the Central Register in Spain thinks about this guidance.

How Dangerous are Blood Transfusions really?
by TheWonderofYou inthis is a report about the successful implementation of the patientbloodmanagent in germany and prof. zacharowski as well as the business trip of his life with shocking facts about transfusions in his bag.. http://screenart.tv/portfolio/gefaehrliche-bluttransfusionen.
this year 2016 president obama and vice biden awarded german physicians prof. kai zacharowski with humanitarian award for patient safety.
the patient safety movement foundation set the goal to massively reduce the number of preventable deaths of hospital patients worldwide by 2020.

No one questions that there is danger with blood transfusions. A Doctor's goal is to provide a transfusion when it is less dangerous than not having one. JW's have been sacrificial lambs, and for no justifiable reason.

Undeserved kindness
by life is to short injust a side note that i found interesting and sort of upsetting, the wt that the jw's will study on sunday the 18th of september has the words undeserved kindness mentioned 50 in just 19 paragraphs.
really they need to beat it into their people that they are very worthless and do no deserve anything from god?
so much so that they use the words over and over, don't they.. lits .

Page 24 has 3 illustrations that are "Expressions of God’s undeserved kindness:" These seem really poorly chosen.
- "The privilege of hearing the good news." How is this a privilege? It should be the right of every human to hear the good news, since the response to the good news is how God choses whether or not to destroy you at Armageddon
- "The blessing of prayer." This shows a picture of an old lady praying by her dying husband. How is praying to God an underserved kindness if he does not answer, and does not save the husband's life?
- "Being helped at the right time." The gift did not come from God, it was the kindness of another human being.
