Did serena and Venus williams attend ? How about George Benson and all the other celebrities who claim to be JW`s.

13 year anniversary
by gerry intoday marks 13 years since my wife and i have stepped inside a kingdom hall.
after 29 years full on being a jw and a number of years serving as an elder then as the presiding overseer we pulled the plug.
yes 13 years ago coming home from the first day of a circuit assembly i said to my wife “that’s it i am not going back”.

I think the first time i ever had a doubt was when the Borg tried to distance themselves from 1975 .
The next was when they printed the Revelation Book about the seven trumpets starting with the Cedar Point Ohio convention ? I couldn`t get my head around that one .
I /we never left until 1993 , however with the internet it still took me a few years to shake off the influence the JW religion had over me.
Welcome gerry , thanks for your post

Why are some that post here JW apologists?
by ctrwtf inmy rant tonight is against the quasi religious apologists that post on this board.
those who at once rail against the jw's then later talk about how "orderly" and "neat" the witnesses are at their conventions.
those who site the benefits of bloodless surgery to some who have the luxury and time to actually make an educated choice, while ignoring the tens of thousands who've died because they happen to be in an accident or succumb to a disease for which there is no other treatment.. i understand the power of cognitive dissonance.

If you have been in or associated with the JW`s for many years , then yes it can take a long time to finally rid yourself of all the garbage that goes with the religion.

Convention Videos: Someone messed up royally
by ILoveTTATT2 in.
when i first saw the video, i was like, "wait... is that her... panties showing through the dress"?and it seems like it is so.turns out that if you look at the middle right of the video, there are some letters.
it reads, "footage provided by pond5".if someone wants to purchase that video to confirm, you can purchase it here:http://depositphotos.com/63621499/stock-video-violinist-girl-walking-through-a.htmli think that this was a royal mess up because i doubt they would put footage of a sister in a skimpy, revealing dress.doesn't the gb approve this?this will probably go down as another of the "subliminal images"...if there are thongs in paradise... might not be so bad after all!.

Gorby wishes you a happy convention! (picture)
by Gorbatchov ingorby has been offline from jwd for some weeks, and it made my situation not better, have had some serious problems with the fading, much pressure, i have nothing new to say, it must be very similar to the situation of many faders here.. so, i had so much pressure, that we have had to change our holiday booking so we are able to visit the convention, due to family reasons, you all know what i mean.. please wish me (and us) much luck for this summer.
it is not my best summer season in life.. this is how i feel:.

If you are going to pursue this tactic , diversify , never use the same e-mail .tactic ,ruse , more than once , otherwise they will flag it and trash it in an instant.And nobody will see it.
You have a better chance of getting into the JW paradise after the big "A" than getting your letter actually read by a GB member.

Today's WT. Jephthah's Daughter - Virgin Slave or Crispy Critter?
by Slidin Fast ini whiled away the time today in the wt researching the above question on line.
it seems to me that there is more evidence to say that the account simply depicts the poor nameless child/woman as being toast.
the idea of her going into "tabernacle service" is completely fabricated and has no basis in scripture.

JW`s exist because ignorant people take the Bible as the literal word of GOD and can`t see cherry pickers for the trees.

Keeping your sanity while stuck as an active JW
by oldskool ini pass along this advice as a new topic, to get it past one off comments that may not get as much attention.. i exited the jehovah's witnesses about a decade ago.
like many, my personal situation felt to restrained to act on my impulse and get out quickly.
i took about a year and a half to two years to leave via da.. i empathize with anybody leaving the watchtower who finds it difficult to falsify dedication, interest, and belief in both their personal and public life.
