  as some of you may remember from a previous post of mine, myself and my husband are in the process of fading.

  we began our fade in jan 2017 and haven't been to a meeting since may 2017. to say this time has been a struggle is an understatement.

  it has been a lonely time for us, losing all of our so called friends.

  sorry to hear of your struggles Emily, it certainly is how its made up to be, all I can say is try to remain strong and keep your head held high, life is never the same when leaving this evil.

  Ex-jw Fifth interviews Bethelite from 1975. Well worth watching!

  by Diogenesister in

  2. experiences

  another great interview by fifth here.

  this lady was at bethel in 1975 and reminisces that many women at bethel expressed enormous regret at not having a family.

  it seems that many witnesses back then were aware that watchtower really didn't know what they were talking about when it came to making predictions.. https://youtu.be/7dyooih3fji.

  three, very close family friends, one an elder went through a divorce he never recovered from and another MS in his mid 20's, the last one was strangely covered up, he was not baptised but the son of an elder

  Letty you dont seem to be paying much attention to the advice here, unless there are two witnesses to any so called sexual activity between you and your boyfriend this is very easy not to get DF'ed.

  How were you 'outed' ??

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  many of us here have been "outed" as ones who no longer believe that this is "the truth".. many didn't have the chance to do it in our own way, and in our own time, but rather someone "found out about our apostasy" and "reported" it to the spiritual police (elders).

  would you like to share your stories?.

  made a mistake of voicing my doubts to too many people, it was only a matter of time, plus a wife who was convinced I was possessed

  its all about lies and crocodile tears, play their stupid game repent say you'll never do it again and be more careful next time, you can lead a double life so easily, I did for years never got caught, its all a game, there's no holy spirit or angels and a god looking down on your imperfections, chill out.

  Memorial Invitation 2018 : Subliminal Message ?

  memorial invitation : subliminal message.

  at first glance, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the invitation but on closer look a disturbing detail becomes apparent.it is in the upper right corner of the illustration of jesus christ celebrating the last supper with his disciples in the upper room...there seem to be trees outside the window but on closer inspection, all thanks to the pdf format of the invitation that allows you a very close look down to the fine detail, these are not trees but letters!!!.

  The earthly resurrection pipe dream

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i woke up this morning thinking about when my mom died about 10 years ago.

  she was an avid jdub and was confident that she would be resurrected to an earthly paradise petting zoo.

  if i would today go to my mom's house and because god brought her back to life, saw her sitting in her favorite chair, would she really be my mom?

  its such a ridiculous pipe dream and would defy every single scientific law to accomplish, human cloning is very real though and could be with us in a few years, nothing can live forever not even a AI cloned robotic being driven by super computing, death is part of the cycle of life.
