"ex-christians are angry because they are grieving... i voluntarily spent 10 years of my life pursuing a godly life.
my fantasy was that i was spending my time well and becoming a better person by following god.
my grief over wasting 10 years of my life, is grief over giving up the fantasy.".
You could have been like me and wasted over 50 years!
We married in 1951 and my wife 'got the truth' in 1953, she is still absolutely hooked, I have to jog along with it because I married her and still love her.
I hate the organisation and it's cultish methods.

i know of some elders that regularly gave about $500 per month towards the kingdom hall and other watchtower society interests....and you???
?
TOO MUCH!! Not just money, but my life when I could have done so many more interesting things, but we always put the Org. first.
Just have to enjoy the short time I have left!

*a cry for help to all men of conscience in the organization of jehovahs witnessesthe recent court rulings in napa california have given authorities the right to access congregation judicial files that contain any information that provides evidence of the crime of child abuse.
They have become evil.
KK is right. That says it all!!

has this documentary been discussed anywhere in this forum?.
when the active jws come to your door, do you listen and take whatever they're offering, or do you not open the door?
when i move out (which i hope is soon), i'm planning to fade, but i am sure that my father (elder) will insist on knowing which cong.
i'm attending.
When the active JWs come to your door
They just want to use the loo (bathroom)! If they work my village there isn't a facility for miles!
They never offer me anything or talk about anything to do with the WTS!
I assume they expect my wife to keep me up to speed?
They will accept a cup of coffee or tea

so often, i hear people complaining about how the jw beliefs are no longer working and things like that....but so often, the complainers never say what should be done to solve the problem(s).
today i was reading jehovahs-witness.com/6/122349/1.ashx (about "faders"), which had some honest & interesting points but no solutions.
some, even seem to think there's flaws in the whole jw organization.
Becca1 has it right,
In a word: Honesty.
I have never come across such a bunch of liars! They don't follow the Bible and they don't even follow their own publications.
The latest tract says:
"... those entrusted with positions of authority must have exemplary morals."
Not so in my wife's congregation where the elders lie regularly to save their own reputation at the expense of others.
