The story of my exit
by mrsObfuscate ini have been lurking here for about 6 months, and being the last day of the year, and ready to start the new one afresh, i want to share the story of our exit from the org.
i have found the personal experiences of others of immeasurable value, (and its been a while since a good exit story has been posted) that i hope this can be of benefit to at least someone.. .
my mother became a jehovahs witness when i was about 9 or 10. i remember initially hating all of the new sanctions put on our lives (no birthdays and christmas anymore) but for some reason i soon after joined her in attending the meetings and eventually got baptized at the age of 14. my staunch catholic father converted a couple of years later.

I hope they have enough cash on hand to purchase the new 'double screen' video setup now required by the "Governing Body' (tm) for all Kingdom Halls. Morris and Lett can only be appreciated fully in the new Watchtower(tm) sanctioned 'STEREOPTICON' video system. Now you can see both ASSES....I mean donkeys in visual stereo!

Governing Body Letter details things that "have never been done before." - Really?
by cappytan in[note: copy/pasted this with permission from reddit.].
once each year, the governing body writes a direct letter to the congregation members included in the yearbook.
in his annual message to the catholic faithful (urbi et orbi) delivered on christmas day, the pope spoke about world peace, terrorism, and the refugee crisis.

Adult Homework and Extra Credit
by lovesjehovah init seems that once we became sensible adult humans, we lost our way.
we stopped asking questions.
we submitted to the bidding of the world.

By the age of 15 years old, all students should be taught two distinct ways of viewing their lives:
1. Mindfulness meditation. The student would learn how to remain centered in their body and learn the difference between THOUGHTS, FEELINGS and SENSATIONS. By establishing a relationship with themselves through mindfulness meditation, they can learn to be 'comfortable in their own skin' and accept the oneness of their body and mind. That way they are prepared to 'face the world' on their terms.
2. Inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning, logic, rhetoric, scientific method and dialectics should be fully integrated into the curriculum of any school system. If the student can learn to think and reason through these methods they will be able to 'face the world' on its terms.

That's not a personal conversation. It's a form of psychological 'triangulation'.

Questions for Serena Williams
by Esse quam videri inbeing as serena williams shows outstanding abilities and skills at that which she exerts herself in, such as tennis, it would seems reasonable that serena williams has the same high level of abilities in all of her worthwhile endeavors.
perhaps she has this level of abilities in her journey as one of jehovah's witnesses.
would it not be reasonable that those who need greater clarification and understanding of certain bible subjects, to make contact with serena and ask her such questions?.

"People should stop 'calling out' the Williams sisters for things." - Hisclarkness
REALLY? YOU'RE SERIOUS?
Maybe Serena should stop calling on 'Jehovahs' name and she wouldn't have to feel the heat.

it was never needed for that purpose...later transformed into gilead missionary school...".

Bethelites bought shotguns in the local hardware stores.
And on top of this, an old, old Bethelite told me that all the automobiles and trucks were 'rigged' for riot control. The vehicles had their magnetos or generators wired to their frames. If anyone touched the vehicle, the driver would 'rev' up the engine and give that person one hell of a shock.
