  14 kids from the same old congregation

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  2. experiences

  this week, while talking with some old friends, i realized that there were at least 14 kids from a congregation in which i grew up that all left the jws.

  that is, 30 to 35 years ago, there were at least 14 kids going to the hall that were of the same “generation” (5 to 13 years old).

  in the last 30 years, they have all left “the truth”.

  I just reconnected with a dozen or so from my teenage hall a few years ago, and we are talking 1970-1975 era. Of the ones that we know of, 60-70% left, and left way before me. I think of the ones that are still in, I think a good percentage of their kids and grandkids have left.

  I saw several elders at a memorial service a month ago, we were all teenagers together. I am telling you, they looked so weary, and tired. They looked beat up, not kidding. I know they know it's BS, and don't know what to do about it.

  Will the U.S. Supreme Court be RIDICULED by JW lawyers?

  by The Fall Guy in

  in view of the statements below by the wtbts hierarchy, how on earth can u.s. supreme court judges possibly be conned into accepting jw lawyers' claim/defence of clergy-penitent privilege in the $35m lawsuit?.

  if you don't have a clergy, how can you have clergy-penitent privilege?

  has no one in the u.s.a. pointed out to the judiciary that they're being duped?.

  I watched an interview with Zalkin on Cedar's channel this morning, and he said WT will lose this. He said you can't bring a new argument to the USSC that hasn't been argued in each of the courts before appealing to the Federal court. It is just not the way it works.

  I think this is going to be fun to watch.

  Why Did You Stay In The JW Religion As Long As You Did?

  by minimus in

  were you so indoctrinated that you just couldn’t leave?

  was it due to family pressure?

  was it your friendships that you didn’t want to lose?

  I didn't think I was strong enough to live well without my family and friends, therefore I wasn't strong enough.

  If I had left when some of my friends did I know now I would have been fine. If I had only trusted in myself more. Outside the religion others said I could do it. I did not believe them.

  Just stupid.

  so the tms....does anyone think it might ever go away?

  possibly being replaced by a borg streaming presentation that's required viewing from home?

  it seems to me that with the congregation merging and sell-off that's going on, there are going to be 4 maybe 5 congregations sharing some khs.

  I adore Talesin as well. She was already off FB by the time I saw her post saying she would be back. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to chat with her.

  Okay I found her post and it was 6/16, she was at online at the library. And yes she hoped to be back online in the fall.
