To OP a few posts above : Ray Franz's books were much needed at the time. I have enormous respect for him, he dared step out and shine light on what was actually going on behind the curtain so to speak. As for making money on his books what concern is it of yours when the WT made HUGE money on their real estate and exploitation of the brother's free labor ? He put in the work and got paid for it a little, seems perfectly fair to me don't be so narrow minded please. I was there myself not so long ago.

This is funny but very true 😎. A lesson from the days of the millerites and how easily people believe BS, only to be disappointed.
Saw that earlier, sent it to a Trump loving QAnon Ex Jw friend of mine, told me Ball Maher is Hugh Hefner's son, wtf LOL !!!!!!!!

LOL. From a good Republican friend, the judge who just shredded the Trump campaign is: “And that scorching decision is from a VERY Republican Judge. Know him from when he was a county party chair and PAGOP Caucus chair. Straight shooter.” -

Came over from DogPatch's site in 2011, great articles from NewBoy and other former bethelites made it obvious JW were just another religious organization, not at all what they claimed to be. Found it to be a great resource.
Solid year or two of daily reading over here until I handed in my DA. Great site, seems to have gone south for awhile last 3 1/2 years on account of divisive usa politics and aggressive posturing..

Name one POSITIVE thing you took from your experience as a Witness
by geodude ini was thinking about this at work the other day, and realized the one positive thing i can truly credit the jws with: .
i have no fear of public speaking.
i was a shy kid, fat, clumsy, with crooked glasses and worse teeth, who wore hand-me-downs in one of the wealthiest counties in all of america, who sat still while classmates got up to salute the flag or recite the pledge of allegiance.

Getting used to social settings where there are lots of good smelling well dressed women around. I had lived under a rock ( more like in a machine shop ) for the first few decades of my life. I don't miss any of it really but at least it's good to know I can be at ease in social settings where there's lots of people
