An Active JW Sister Modelling For Me
by pale.emperor insince leaving the borg i jumped both feet first into classes i've always wanted to do but was never "allowed" to.
two of which are life drawing and photography.
i've been studying for almost two years now and have seen more nude men and women in our classes than i care to remember.. today in the photography studio i was working in with three others (two women, one man) we were told we had a new person modelling for us.

My fading suffered a miscarriage
by Ireneus ini thought of successfully fading out, but suffered a miscarriage last week.
i gradually decreased the number of meetings i attended.
in the latter half of the year it became once a month, then once in two months, once in three months ….. last week, two elders who visited me, after their bla..bla..asked: “where will you go leaving the motherly organization—the only truth now available on earth?”.

welcome Ireneus, you replied to their stupidity with intelligence and respect, the problem is you would have activated the process of a JC , you probably realise that and I hope it works out well for you and you dont stand to lose too much, please keep us updated.

Why the meetings are boring and uninspiring
by UnshackleTheChains ineach individual may have their own views as to why they feel the meetings are boring and uninspiring.
in my case i find the midweek meeting so, because of the constant emphasis on pitching watchtower literature.
its just monotonous and one big yawn.. i watch other christian faiths where they open up a chapter of the bible and discuss it's contents.

the PT and WT study were always mind numblingly boring, 2 hours of utter drivel and the PT generally given by a very poor public speaker, at least the TMS and SM had more sections to it, to think I've not had to endure one for 25 years

my 25 year anniversary of life after the WTS
by jookbeard inits been a hell of a journey and not one i regret, i've had my testimony featured in free minds, married divorced, married again had 2 children, survived a very serious illness and come out just about unscathed.
it all started sometime in the early 1990's around the time of the waco siege, i just couldn't accept these crazy doctrines anymore of the belief system i was born into, the death and destruction of billions, the big a, the restoring of the earth to a paradise and the even bigger lie of a resurrection of billions, come early 1993 i had decided to fade, i attended the memorial of that year and decided never ever to return and i never did, come 1994 i had really hit rock bottom, divorced the following year, moved away,started a new career, a new life, the rest they say is history, anyone reading this and having similar thoughts, go for it!

Phizzy; it was'nt so easy visits to the library where I found a wonderful little book on jw's by Alan Rogerson, the evangelical christian outreach groups such as Reachout Trust were very helpful as well even though I was a pole apart in wanting to accept their religious standpoint but they were very helpful in supplying resource materials and books, and the jw newsletters Comments from the Friends and the Free Minds journel which I looked forward to seeing when they were issued
Good JW, good advice!
