Welcome.
If you have JW family, prepare yourself for a world of pain.
i'm on page 90 right now...the info is definitely new and gives me a totally diff view as to how i used to think of faithful and discreet slave.
i was thoroughly disgusted with the way the brothers handled the oral sex and leadership problem and the insight on the scriptures book...... still have alot of questions though.

hello, you sexy sassy posters of jwn.
i'm starting this thread in the hopes of finding... uh, hope.... and sharing it with others who are in a similar boat.
i'm looking for input from anyone who meets the following criteria:.
Wow, that's an inspirational story Rob. Thanks for sharing and welcome to JWN.
so i was poking around jw.org a lil recently...... noticed this advertisement was still present in the 'privileged' section (ie you gotta have login access).
this was posted on jw.org a little over a year ago (as shown in pic) but since it is still viewable......figured it is fair-game for jwn fodder.
thoughts?????.

are we living with the last generation of scientologists?
over the past decade, membership has dropped in the us by 20,000. in an article for lrb titled "religion, grrrr" rachel aviv reviews one of the only academic studies of scientology to date.
I'm not sure about Scientologists, but I"m pretty sure we're seeing the last generation of Jehovah's Witnesses. It's just hard to say how many times that generation will overlap.
Please leave me alone.
it just occurred to me that we use the term "borg" when talking about the organization.
it's a cute play on words, but i wonder if the writers of star trek who came up with the idea of the borg had some experience or connection with witnesses.
.
Ex mormons refer to the mormon organization as 'the morg' too.
once you realized the organization is simply a religious corporation, how did you leave?.
did you fade?.
were you forced out?.
Once you realized the organization is simply a religious corporation, how did you leave?
Faded.
Did you fade?
Yes - over a long period (years) with gradual reduction in activity
Were you forced out?
In the end yes - complicated (PM me for more detail if you want)
How did you adjust to life on the outside?
I had already built something of a life outside
Do you still have social or family connections within the organization?
Family yes
What did you do to supplant the lost friends, routine, and sense of purpose?
I don't have the time to miss any of that
just about the funniest thing i've read in ages!
