I took me a year to research and finally grasp what an evil lying self serving cult they are. Check out Ricky G's vid on the Ravn Guiliani story = mind blown ! As to how much of it is true you be the judge, nothing surprises me with these guys anymore. Look up her FB she spoke about it again a week or two ago, very smart articulate woman.

I think it was Bill Bowen read he walked out after it was announced, got in his big pick-up truck with headers and open exhaust, rumbled up to the car port and revved it up aggressively while they all stared at him through the windows... -

Just handed in my Disassociation letter
by Thirteenth tribe intonight my dl was posted by hand by my husband (a worldly guy).
i had the luxury of being at work distracted whilst he posted it.
i have been baptised for just over 2 years and studied since 2010. i couldn't take it anymore, not just the zealous dislike/disgust for 'people in the world' (this includes my husband and 99% of my family btw) but the obvious.... the investigations into child sexual abuse.

Right on Thirteenth, rock and roll ! I worked out the details over the phone with an elder last Saturday morning and he offered to me stay in so that maybe if one day I feel different I could come back easily, to keep dialogue open. This after I told him I'd been scammed into baptism by the old bait and switch Bible education to Cult trick, the ARC and them not being God's sole dispensary of truth. When I turned down his offer and said that ever since I've resolved to DA I've simply been happier he got all butt hurt, most likely because he no longer has any control over me. Company man looking to manage me using 'smooth words' which they accuse apostates of using, hypocrites. Told him I just want to be honest with everyone is all, why the big ordeal ? Reminds me of trying to break a car lease or some other binding contact, the one loosing income gets all bent out of shape and goes legal. Good thing we don't sign anything with them, can you imagine if we did ? -

Do not Disassociate, Anull your baptism
by jwfacts ini am now a jedi, so trust me on this.. .
why dis-associate, you are just playing by the wts rules?
how can you dis-associate anyway, you never thought you were baptised as a watchtower society member, you thought your dedication was to god, so why formally disassociate from something you did not formally join?

Can You Feel The Love?
by OneFingerSalute injust heard of an experience that proves what i have thought all along about the unique type of love in the jdubya religion.. an elderly, handicapped jdubya acquaintance was traveling alone through the mid-west recently and found themselves stranded in denver, colorado due to dangerous road conditions.
not knowing anyone, and having no way to get from place to place on their own they made a number of phone calls.
finally they were able to get in contact with an oh so christian "sister" who had with her husband spent many decades in bethel.

As a single person I've lost count of how many times I was treated as a third wheel and discriminated against. It led to my being even more of a loner and introvert, who needs that ! Then you get the odd sympathetic person how tells you how you should be living your life. One elder told me I'd get more respect from members if I reached out and did more. I was then doing 12+ hours and running my own business and making most meetings. I eventually burnt out and became suicidal. Thanks a lot, feel the love !

In 2008 at the heights of my depression before the stock market crash I had a self centered useless investment advisor that had coaxed me into shale natural gas exploration for a huge bank sponsored commission. My brother and I got close to a 10 bagger with another related one initially it but I was then a heavily indoctrinated JW when all this happened. I somehow thought that the gain was worldly and greedy ( I know, yes stupid is an understatement ) and didn't know what to do. I asked her to come explain the play to us buy she never did have time to come around as things happened real fast in summer early fall and my brother was blinded by the gain, thought it was blue sky going forward.
Well what happened one night is I woke up with a jolt around 1 or 2 in the morning and had just realized that I had to cash out of everything and get to the side lines fast, was just a huge gut feeling as I'm sort of an HSP ( highly sensitive person ) As I tried to get up to think things through and pull my statement and write down some notes to face my manipulative arrogant " investment counselor" I was pinned to my bed, all limbs and body paralyzed. I could barely move my head and felt so exhausted ( as I was suffering for overwork burnout trying to rune my own business and toe the JW line making everyone happy trying to be good at everything ) that I passed out back to sleep. The next morning I hardly remembered any of it and thought I must be overreacting. Took a few weeks until I realized what happened and I though it must have been a supernatural cause, not. By them my portfolio had tanked another 10% and would eventually loose all and even more of any previous gains. Can you say greenhorn ?

What Rosemarie is getting at I think is Kingdom hope through Christ Jesus as high priest in the pattern of Melchizedek. Jordly.com also has a similar stance. Then again we are all free to believe whatever we like, so I prefer to stay as close to the Bible as possible, my choice. I don't force my views on anyone and as she said these are things you have to research and decide for yourself. Christian freedom.
