I bet that, during conventions and assemblies, when they post a list of the motels and hotels that are to be used "ONLY" and that you must mention that you "ARE" on of the JW's, that this is a way for them to gain a percentage of the sales or a rebate check of some sort from each one on the list.
I see a lot of this sort of thing in the business I am in.
Conspiracy??

by helenhall inwhen every single person you know is a witness, how do you leave?

helenhall,
Welcome!
There is plenty of good advice on this board and you will find even more support. You will need to gather in your own heart that this is not the right relegion. I suggest reading "Crisis ofd Conscience" by Raymond Franz. This will open many doors and windows for you. Contemplate your next move or stand but do it subtetly. Do not be rash about anything.
"Do" make freinds outside the "Borg"! Try going to the gym, library, bowling alley, the local pub. Whatever makes "You" happy. But, mainly try to relax. You are "NOT" alone.
Keep coming back to this site and expressing yourself.
Sincerely,
Quirky1

The Clicks
by reficul inanyone want to share their expierences on the clicks that would form in your meetings.
usually in my meeting they were started by the children of the so called elders.
freaking hipocrits, and spreading rumors and judging people all the time.

The so called, cliques, in our congo were a bunch of drunks! These people would invite you over and get to know you and if you met their requirments you were fine but if not they would never invite you again. All they did was drink and party! In which I participated, until I found them out, but that is all they did. They were a bunch of showy hypocrites. I loathe them now for how they treated others. These people were the Elders and their wives as well as the PO ans MS. People you were supposed to look up and respect. I never agreed with this kind of treatment even when I was in H.S. The only time they want anything to do with you is when they want something.
People like that suck.

I'm just curious here people, but with the market being in such turmoil, why not wait it out for a better market? Are they having any financial woes to speak of? It just doesn't sound logical to me at this point in time unless there is a huge market for the property.

How did you find this site?
by truthseeker init seems as though an age has passed from discovering this site seven years ago to where i am now.
just before we started studying the daniel's prophecy book, i went online to see if anyone had made a study bookmark with the dates and paragraphs on.
i "stumbled" across this site, way back in 2000. of course, like a good christian i pretty much determined that this site had gone apostate from the other jw sites, such.

I actually started searching Ex-Jw's and found Randy's site www.freeminds.org and it all went from there. What an eye opening experience! I am so glad that I am not alone in my endeavors to leave the cultish , clannish WTBS.
Luv U All!

New " Witness Only " Watchtower - Even More Controlling - Check this Out
by flipper init had been 5 years or more since i even read a watchtower article after exiting the witness cult in late 2003. but i was curious to see if the new " witness only " watchtowers were more controlling than i remember them being 5 years ago.
and it certainly opened my eyes to the extreme control.
when you have been away from it - you can really see the difference !

I "knew" that was where the so called "FDS" was going with this. It is just another tactic to make the R & F feel special, priveledged to belong to the Borg. Anything to make them feel unique. Plus it's also a way that they are able to convey their "cult inspired message" and control them without alerting the so called "new recruits" in feild circus how controlling of an organization they really are.
To them this is privy information that is only particular to them and they are proud of it.
I'm sorry, but these people are in a coma and need to wake the F*** Up! I wish they could see this. I recognized this shortly after I was baptised into this sh**! I just tried to roll with the punches until I had had enough.
Eyes Wide Open!!!!!!!!
