The best way to help any JW out is to remain active
by Most Noble in
1. jw

attacking from the outside will always prove to be unproductive.

it is more effective to remain inside the domain while raising people's consciousness and letting them see all the flaws behind the farce.

i have tried it and i have gotten 47 people out in 6 months, while i am still seen as a publisher in good standing.. .

i guess that my one year anniversary here has come.. i've made lots of friends... and perhaps a few enemies.. i've made people laugh... i've pissed people off.... i've made people think... i've made people cringe.... i've moved ahead in some areas of life... still stuck in some others.... i've had a lot of fun... i've had some tense moments and tears.... i've been able to make sense to people... spoke utter nonsense at other times.... to my 'fans' here: thanks for the support and having my back... .

to people who hate my guts: go ahead... take your best shot... .

either way, i win.

DO NOT have children in this system!!
by What Now? in

2. beliefs
growing up, this is something that my other always told me.

i've had several conversations with older sisters who have said that if they could do things over, they wouldn't have had children.

other couples my own age are horrified at the thought of raising children in "this system".

What has the WT$ TAKEN from you?
by VampireDCLXV in
1. jw
2. experiences
if you've been around here long enough, you will have seen people saying how they "gave up" or "sacrificed" certain things so that they could be good little jws.

what about those of us who were growing up in it and we didn't even have a choice in the matter?

what about those of us from whom some things in life were forcibly ripped away, things that 'normal' people take for granted in their life?.
