  megadeth is a heavy metal band fronted by dave mustaine, who was raised as a jehovah's witness.

  mustaine was the original lead guitar player for metallica,in the early 80's, before they kicked him out for drunk behavior.

  i have been a fan of megadeth for years, but recently found out he was raised as a jw.

  Do you know how strong you all are?

  i'm thinking this morning at the enormous effort required to leave the witnesses.

  that you all found your way here is amazing.

  you are a select group of strong people, who will not allow life or any organization to knock you down.

  Bamboozled.

  by Blueblades in

  one of the saddest lessons of history is this: if we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle.

  we're no longer interested in finding out the truth.

  the bamboozle has captured us.. it's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken.

  Absolute first sign:
  
  Realized Society was wrong about the "resurrected people being like angels" Scripture. The Society got "brighter light," eventually, and I was "running ahead of the chariot." That made no real sense to me. The logic was there all along, unchained. They were the ones who were stubborn about it.
  
  Second sign:
  Realized there was no Scriptural basis for requirement of confessing sins to elders. Studied long and hard.
  
  3rd sign:
  (Fill in this area with all the standard failings of the bureaucracy and the elders general attitudes.
  
  4th sign:
  After being inactive, and finding this site, I learned about all of the things (fill in this area with all of the exposed things), and realized I was bamboozled.

  Sorry guys, didn't know I was a retard...

  i looked to find that the original of a certain video was also removed.

  it turns out that what was presented as public domain was in fact copyrighted and wrongly posted by some jw.

  i found it and thinking it was published with permission to use, as are most all videos on the site, i lampooned it.

  i'm influenced by the avatars too.

  like, i think purple sofa looks like audrey hepburn, and willyloman is a "burnin hunk'a love" and nvrgnbk looks like a sufer dude.

  the wanderer is a skinny guy with glasses who never looks you in the eye.. how do you picture fellow posters?.

  Every pic on the Web of me, from the pic my old college uses for the Track alumni, to a recent (June 16) pic of me doing a poetry reading, I HATE.
  
  So no pics until I get some better ones!!!

  recently, i was reacquainted with a friend that i knew since i started grade school.

  he grew up in the world wide church of god and i as a witness.

  neither of us did christmas so often we would find ourselves in the library while the rest of the school did christmas activities.. .

  Some JW training as a youngster, but didn't study and get baptized until after undergraduate studies
  
  Currently what some would consider a pagan, but it has no name. I believe what makes sense, if that makes sense. Maybe it has a name: The Natural Way.

  2. beliefs

  i was chatting with an elder a few months ago and he spoke of a secret elders website that only privileged elders knew of.

  it is used to submit the monthly field service reports and other letters in.

  that is the 3rd time i heard about this and want to verify if any of you know about this..

  Not really a big deal.
  
  They also have phone numbers to call to initiate the ACH money transfers that us accounts servants would do each month. Those numbers aren't spread around freely.
  
  Nothing but Standard Operating Procedure for a corporation's sales directors to upload info on a nonpublished website.
