... the group sold the space because of an aging and diminishing congregation due to people moving away.
Riiigghht! I bet it had nothing to do with JWs leaving the Watchtower in droves!

Hello All
by Jeremiah1958 inhi to everyone, my name is jerry, i am 56 and i live in tralee, kerry ireland.
i will not bore you with the all too familiar details, suffice it to say i was a prime candidate for indoctrination/ brainwashing.
the surprising aspect is that my wife, a staunch catholic started a study soon after i did.

Nice to meet you! Shunning is so cruel, especially when it is your family. Give it time. You never know which of your family members will wake up. When I left, I was the only one out. Now there are four of us! :)

Where to go from here...
by Patrickday ini'm new around here, but i've been browsing the site the last few days in hopes of finding the answer to the situation i've been going through, so hopefully you can help me.
i met this girl in highschool, but never really spoke with her until about a year after i graduated.
she's three years younger (however it's legal where i'm from, don't fret) and still a teenager.

Seriously? Do they not know how to use a green screen? Elementary students know how to use a green screen! The backdrop was horrible! Part backdrop and part blue wall? It looked like they were just standing in front of a giant painting! <smh>

I must say it is unique that she walked away from the JWs, made a successful exit, and is not bitter. Quite different. It makes me question how much of a JW she really was, but then again, that may be MY bitterness talking! I wish I wasn't bitter.

Why did Ray Franz leave the Organization? Your Opinion Matters!
by SanLuisObispoTruthSeeker inwhat would make a man throw away all his earthly riches to expose the cult?
what did ray franz have to gain by leaving in total poverty?
if ray franz had stayed in place, he could have lived like a god, why did he leave?

Conscience ruled over "worldly desire", to use a JW term. Have you read "Crisis of Conscience" yet? If not you really should.
Another thing I wonder about him leaving is ... did he know how tough it was really going to be leaving? I think back then it would have been hard to foresee. No one so prominent had ever spoken against the society since the original schisms when Rutherford took over. I wonder if he knew what he was in for.

... it was quite happy and lovely.
What???? The JWs Aussies must have it a heck of a lot better than us JW Americans! Ha! I doubt she was even baptized. It doesn't sound like it. No mention of being disfellowshipped.
