i want to create a new site to help people leaving the wts.. the idea is that it will be curated content of articles and videos on specific subjects such as how to fade, how to handle family, personal experiences of leaving, mistakes to avoid, plus practical life matters impacted by the wts such as how to create or rebuild a career, planning for retirement, getting counselling, making friends etc.... the idea is that it should be lots of voices to share the love and promote lots of people's channels so it becomes a more effective resource (hopefully there will always be something informative and appealing to the people visiting).. if you have a youtube channel that you would like featured, or maybe have some specific video or series that would suit, i'd be happy to include them.. likewise, if you have a subject you'd like to write about and can share some practical knowledge and guidance on, or have a life-story you'd like to share because your experience could benefit others, please let me know.. i bought a domain and setup some placeholder content:.

please message me or post here if you have any questions or ideas..

Where are you going to find the time? Will we see less of you on this forum?
I find you like the cool parent, where they let the kids fight it out until it gets out of control. Then you step in.
This my my one and only ex-Jehovah Witness forum site.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK!
do you remember some of the weird and wacky stuff emanating from the watchtower society?
let's make a list from memory that we can use to inject a little humor into our discussions with jehovah's witnesses.
- venus may be an enormous jurassic park.. - germs don't cause disease.. - no beards allowed.

Samuel Herd, member of the Governing Body since 1999, justified female subjection on the basis that their smaller brain size makes them less intelligent.
“You know, scientists say that the cranial capacity of a woman is 10% smaller than that of a man so now this shows that she’s just not equipped for the role of headship. Her role is one of subjection to the man. Her role is that of submissiveness and that means that she should recognize that she is a woman and be glad to be a woman.” The Value of Our Theocratic Sisters Samuel Herd, Oakland CA 1971
how many times did you see elders hounding congregation members to quit their jobs due to missing meetings?.
my brother worked at a grocery store at 16 years old.
he would miss tuesday's ministry school due to his work schedule.
I’m glad types like these hypocritical hounders never swayed me!
These Elders are still working in construction. They live on the North Shore of Illinois and purchase empty lots. They have subs who do most of their work. One Elder's son does all the electrical work and another Elder's son does all the landscaping work.
They leave early on meeting nights and never work on Sunday's. Neither of their wives work. They live in large homes, drive new cars, have custom suits and both have time shares for vacations.
They always hounded the congregation to pioneer at least once a year. I guess it was easy for them, since they had the time and money.
unlike men who took no note, surely the fallen angels knew of gods plan to flood the earth, so why didn't they build an ark(s) for their nephilum sons?

Take the story of Sampson for instance.
WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BIBLE WRITERS...YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP!
Who needs Hollywood scriptwriters when you already have a Bible story that has drama, suspense, and unbelievable twists and turns? Imagine the story of a man who visits prostitutes, kills a 1,000 man army with a skull bone, kills a lion with his bare hands, loses his strength by getting a haircut, gets his eyes gouged out, works at a grain mill and tears down columns with his bare hands, killing himself and the Philistines!
The biblical account states that Samson was a Nazirite and that he was given immense strength to aid him against his enemies and allow him to perform superhuman feats, including slaying a lion with his bare hands and massacring an entire army of Philistines (1,000 men ) using only the jawbone of a donkey. However, if Samson's long hair were cut, then his Nazirite vow would be violated and he would lose his strength.[
Samson was betrayed by his lover Delilah, who ordered a servant to cut his hair while he was sleeping and turned him over to his Philistine enemies, who gouged out his eyes and forced him to grind grain in a mill at Gaza. Whilst there his hair began to regrow. When the Philistines took Samson into their temple of Dagon, Samson asked to rest against one of the support pillars; after being granted permission, he prayed to God and miraculously recovered his strength, allowing him to grasp hold of the columns and tear them down, killing himself and all the Philistines with him.

pistolpete39 minutes agoI don't think very many JWs had GREAT JOBS to begin with that they had to give up. Because most JWs don't have great jobs.
When our congregation split in the late 1980's due to having close to 100 members, I remember what most of my congregation did for a living:
carpenters, electricians, welders, car mechanics, landscapers, factory workers, janitors, plumbers, grocery store workers and secretaries. I didn't see one doctor, lawyer, banker, professor, stock broker, Judge, nor Chief Executive Officers.
We did have Elders who were partners in a construction company who always had expensive houses, new cars, tailored suites and had enough time to pioneer. ( they always hounded everyone to pioneer at least once a year...easy for them since they didn't struggle like the rest of us)
the org.
said to follow government guidelines but here in ohio they are making everyone wear masks for the meetings, despite the fact mask wearing is only mandatory in health care facilities!
.
My wife follows all my Jehovah's Witness family on Instagram. They posted photos of everyone wearing masks for the Memorial. Even my nephew's small children under five were wearing masks. I would like to know how many decided to watch the Memorial on Zoom?
my friend ( who knows that i was a witness at one time ) showed me a letter sent to his house by one of his neighbors.
he barely know the person, and this letter shows in his mail box.
does this witness really believe that anyone who receives this letter will attend the memorial?

have you received your 2022 memorial invite?
here is one sent to my friend from his witness neighbor!
what are the odds that after receiving this invite, someone will attend the memorial?.
