I thought you were attending all the meetings some time back to make some sort of "point" to the elders? If it was me? of course not I've not been to a meeting in over 22 years, and why would I ever want to step in a KH again? they are toxic, evil , demented, masochistic, walk away, why keep punishing yourself over and over. If you want to reach out to comfort any fellow DF'ed ones there are plenty of places you can meet away from the KH.

Shall I go to the meeting? Would you?
by KateWild inhi guys,.
i might go to the meeting.
i stopped going in my heart properly in nov 2013, but i went to a couple of meetings to support a love one that was df'd and tried to teach them a little ttatt.. now another df'd loved one is coming to see me today and will likely encourage me to try and get ri'd, and i want to support her.

My introduction and confession
by elderINewton inwell another big bad elder here just wanting to say sorry.. i'm sorry that so many were treated like crap, and shown that god's love is not to be found around jehovah's witnesses.
i'm sorry that inadvertently i've likely taught many to judge and as such see that racism permeates every corner of the jw world, else why else would someone be of the world, or even inactive.
i'm sorry i sat in on a jc, and voted to df.

MORE PROPAGANDA FROM THE CO!!
by DATA-DOG inwell, once again my "friend" has shared their notes with me from the latest co visit.
besides the usual 1914 assertions/ world getting worse all the time/ our day is the worst of all time nonsense, the co mentioned some interesting things.
number one won't surprise you.

I wonder if he has partly added his own opinion to this talk? very likely, its possible his own cognitive dissonance if being rattled a bit and it sounds like a spin of how they changed the "generation of 1914" in 1995, as we get further and further into this 21st century they can spin and put all sorts of "play on words" in regards to "gods day/ the end/ The Big A" etc, that "its started/its symbolic etc." The simple fact is there isn't going to be any cataclysmic event that see's the end of this world, no new system, resurrection , paradise Earth etc, we are all going to die and return to dust, nothing and they know it. -

What started me on the path to waking up about the lies the WT teaches?
by oppostate init was a simple question: isn't jesus my "mediator" if i put faith in him like the scriptures say?
the research to that answer, from the w79 4/1 p. 31, was mind blowing.
how dare they deny me a belief firmly stated in the scriptures?

I always try and slip the UN membership in, if they reply that it cant be and that its a rumour started by opposer's etc, I always keep the scan of their membership from the UN on my smartphone, I say the UN would be in a very dodgy predicament legally if they fabricated the WTS membership of it, the very few times I speak with them the astonishment on their faces is comical, then I get the down right denial of it,some say they will go home and research it in their own time,its not a lie its true! just think how many have left because of this scandal? -

List of Prominent JW Urban Legends...
by Tuesday inhey folks,.
i'm wondering if you all could help me with my next video that i want to put up in the next couple of days (though i'm hoping for tonight), i want to come up with a list of the most prominent urban legends surrounding jws and then refute them whatever they may be.. i'm thinking there's the urban legend about the question on jeopardy that said the nwt was the most accurate would be a good one.
that one stems from an online powerpoint presentation named theological jeopardy and a book which was written comparing six different translations of the bible.

a favourite was the story of the Japanese Yakuza boos who had his own daughter murdered as she wouldn't enter into the crime family being a devout JW, whilst in prison he started studying and converted, after release from jail became an elder etc, clearly there are variants on this fable, I believe it may have been told at a CA. -

A difficult yet necessary decision
by Brother Jeramy inthe past five weeks have been perhaps the most painful in my life as a witness.. some months ago a young man (i'd say in his late thirties or early forties) began attending meetings at my kingdom hall.
he had just moved to my area from another state.
he had disassociated himself from his home congregation many years back, when he was 20 years old and going through many of the typical trials and temptations most young men experience.. two of the elders met with him initially, and they later shared the details with the body of elders.

makes you wonder why they went to all the time and effort with this new brochure, the R&F know the hoops that have to be jumped through to be reinstated , does the brochure deal with those who are DF/DA? if not than it is clearly a deceptive pointless waste of time, Jeramy and you new found pal have made a a brilliant decision to walk away, its worth it! -
