First, no one here should judge right or wrong your decision. But I must agree with Finally free and Changeling, the deception and outright lies of the WT is what brought most of us here. We seek truth! Second, having been an MS for many years [Years ago] I know the time it takes away from family, and home. And if you have children remember, they will only be this age once. Your time with them is priceless, don't waste it on doing the work of the Borg. On the other hand it would be kind of funny. Gone

District Assemblies Not All They are Cracked Up to Be
by WTWizard inyou hear about them for so long.
the grand boasting session is supposed to be the biggie.
there is so much hype about the motels that are on the list, which will come out right around jan 1. you are supposed to call ahead, and usually people get busy signals and full motels.

I learned how to sleep with only one eye shut at a time so my mom who was on my right could see my left eye and think I was really paying attention, does that count? But then the HEATHEN child that sat in front of me had the nerve to not pay attention, looked back and thought I was winking at him. But seriously, Robots cant learn they can only be PROGRAMED and that is why most are here, to deprogram. Gone

My Very First Post
by leaving-jws ini have been so reluctant to post basically because i am so torn about exposing my personal life.
i happen to come across this website by mistake about 6 months ago.
i agreed with your opinions of the jws view on higher education and independent thinking that i found on this website.

Welcome, Leaving JWS from another Newbie. It is amazing how real TRUTH brings clarity. And real truth you will never find in the mind of someone even a Parent who is a slave to a Cult. Whatever you do, DO NOT let anyone influence you on Matters as important as having children, they are truly Gods greatest gift. I hope you enjoy, and learn as much from this forum as I have. The Posters here are nothing less than AMAZING. We have all arived here in the same way, searching for TRUTH. That is all we want. Gone

I remember in the 80s when I was giving service meeting parts, and conducting book study it seemed as if every one was well prepared and the hands were everywhere. I have been out, having faded for many years now but recently been to a few meetings with my wife who still believes the BS and I can see a total disconnect with most of the young ones. They know it is BULLS%$T but stay for the only social life they have ever known. So wait until it is up to them to carry the flame and its curtains for the Borg. They don't call them the internet generation for nothing. It is the only place they will get the real truth. Gone

Good job SAB, you may have given that young man the greatest gift possible, freedom from the Borg. We should all do our part to keep as many as possible from being enslaved. Gone

What Can You Say to Jehovah's Witnesses Lame Excuses ?
by flipper ini noticed jg nat started a thread kind of similar, but dealing with elders .
my wife helped me come up with this thread with some good ideas here.
there are a few gems that witnesses use as excuses, phraseology they use to make excuses for their beliefs.

{The light gets brighter} Jehovah is god of truth, and those who worship him must worship him truthfully! You never get truth from a lie and the BTBTS has lied many many times in Gods name. Show May 15th 1984 Watchtower page 7. Then show any Awake Mag C.A. 1990 page 4 Why awake is published: "Most important, this magazine builds confidence in the Creators promise of a peaceful and secure new world before the generation that saw the events of 1914 passes away." So either god is a lier or BTBTS is lying in Gods name.

The Final Fallacy: If Witnesses Ruled the World
by metatron inafter all the disproofs and debunking of the watchtower society are done and its status as the "truth" is destroyed, we are left with one final.
argument supposedly in their favor: if the whole world was nothing but jehovah's witnesses, it would be a peaceful paradise.
this is the last argument that held me in the "truth" as an elder - inspite of all the lies and corruption i encountered in "jehovah's.
