I remember when I attended last 1-day (actually half of the day) assembly, I began to sleep before the program commence, then I opened my eyes, all were finished. I was too brainwashed at that time I guessed that Jehovah prevented me to learn anything. Soon after that I was DF'd.

Annual visits to DF'd ones
by JK666 ini have been disfellowshipped since 2001. does the society still recommend that elders make annual visits to encourage people to come back?
just wondering, as i never have received one.
i do not want to go back, just wondering if this is just another lie about their fake compassion and love.

I have dreamt same dreams for a couple of years since my being DF'd. "Folks" in the cong talked to me. I always wondered "why they speak to me? they should have know that I was DF'd?"

Differences in the German blood form in KM
by slimboyfat inyou know the new blood form in the recent kingdom ministry where you state what fractions and what procedures you will accept and what you won't accept?
well i noticed that there is a difference between the german version and the english version.
in the english version in you get simply two options: i accept, or i reject such and such procedure.

Publisher statistics
by Shepherd Book inevery year for at least the last half-century, the society has published statistics on the activity of jws around the world.
i am hoping someone here can provide me with that information, or can direct me as to where it can be found.
specifically, i am looking for usa-specific data: usa population (the way watchtower counts it - sans alaska and hawaii), number of publishers in the usa and number baptized in the usa.

After I left the org, I don't want to stick to any specific religion.
As most Japanese do, I visit Shrine to make wishes on New Year's Day, follow Budism worship style at the funeral, celebrate Christman and birthday. But I am not a member of paticular religious organization.
I don't care God really exist or not now. I want to concentrate to retrieve what I have lost. -

Hi Everyone
by Stezza ini have been reading here for a while but as you may of noticed the assembly games post has flushed me out!
it has been fascinating to read all your experiences and to know that the stuff that i thought was odd, was thought odd by others as well.. two things made me leave:.
1. i found i could not do return visits as i did not want to break up families.

Steeza, welcome to the board.
I am from Japan and never been to Australia (I wish I can visit some day), I felt some sense of gulit at house-to -house work and return visit. Most of the case it seems to me those households were happier than me. Now I am happier than before, being free from feeling of guilty.
