How long did you stay active after having major doubts?
by jambon1 infor me, i had doubts from the beginning.
however, my 1st major doubt came as i had it confirmed that other people felt like i did about certain big issues within the org.
there were many, i realised, that just knew things were not right.

The old heads up at headquarters have a pretty nice set-up. Nice retirement work, free health care, nice living quarters, automobiles, some are able to get social security checks on top of that. Once I had a infirmary duty watching old John Booth of the governing body. He had 2 or 3 uncashed government checks (Social Security) and a wad of cash. It wasn't doing him any good, but if you hit it while your young enough, bethel is a nice way to close it out. On top of that they give you an office and some form of godly work. Control everything. Just don't get thrown out when you are 50. Like what's going on now.

Ex-JW - How Many Think About Gangsters
by BBOARD ini know this may sound strange to some but lately, virtually every week has gone by with me daydreaming myself as a gangster/gangsta.
during conversations with my non-jw associates it is strikingly clear that i really, really know more about the yakuza, cosa nostra, bloods, crips, etc.
i even think i am one of the few that knows (to the best of my knowladge) about the full story to the foudning of the crips and bloods.

They should pay
by dinah injust reading this board and seeing the effects of this religion makes me sick.
sure those who stay in, who are spiritually asleep (imho) are okay--but what about those of us who woke up?
what about those of us who have anxiety issues?

Home Witnessing, Did you ever eat at a house or apartment when offered?
by NotaNess inever get any invites to come in and eat or get offered breakfast or lunch, and you did it?.
i think of the scripture of jesus telling those that went before him to villages, to "eat what is offered to you".. makes me want to have a bottle of pepperocinis on hand for a witness visit.

Both my parents had people they studied with that would feed us whole meals. We also lived in an area where folks had lots of gardens and they would give you fruit and vegetables from their plots. Someone was always giving you food or something.
There were people I would not eat anything over their home, too filthy.
