Having Been Born-In
I had no clue as to how
Life REALLY worked!!
WT trained brain...............DUH
No taste in clothes either
for me it had to be that i was trained to be judgmental.
i'm naturally a person who doesn't believe everything someone says---just because they say it's true.
still, a "good elder" is supposed to be watchful of what might "contaminate" the congregation.. so, it's time to bare your soul.

i have been out for 5 years.
my wife and i left together.
she saw the sham long before i did - though neither of us could 'put our finger on' what was wrong until we read coc, found the internet, etc.. i believe my wife leans toward atheism more than i do - i consider myself agnostic of the whole matter at this point.
My wall of denial began to crumble
close to 2 years ago now..................
after leaving over 28 years prior
I learned mor about this religion stuff
this past year than in the prior 28 or
in the 25 I was "In"
Now is when the fun really begins.................
Mine Too!!
Wasn't married in
a KH Though..............
I had DA'd Myself
the Day Before!!
i've always imagined a 60-year-old man with white hair who is really arrogant and grumpy with an evil look in his eyes, a very cold person who wanted to do nothing but ruin people's lives and was working for satan.
i never imagined i'd be one.... ...that or a 55-year-old woman with gray hair with glasses and a very rude look, and smarter-than-thou attitude.. you?.
The guy wearing the horse blinders
that was ranting and raving outside
of the assembly when I was a kid
Not a good example
i think i got a donation maybe once or twice here in the states.
most of the friends don't ask for a donation.
in south america, more people donated, but i think it's because it was phrased differently, we used to say, "you can give whatever you want for this magazine.
Yea..............................
But that was 30 years ago
It was either a
dime or a quarter
It was worth paying
just to get us the
Hell off their porch!!
for those whow believe god authored the bible , this info will make you question your faith.
very well done.. i would love to see how the wts would respond to this, especially after the new publication on the bible was just released at the convention.. maybe one of our inhouse scholars (narkissos/leolia) can back up this info.

Yea
I read the book awhile back
Strange what we never noticed before.................
i will try to scan the photo tomorrow and put it on here.. i read some of the book today, it makes direct connections between the first century and jw's now.. for example:.
the book talks about the apostles and says, 'after jesus death, they took the lead, becoming the governing body of that time.".
congregations of that time - jw congregations today.
Governing Body Bobble Heads
Or
Governing Body Dashboard Statuettes
Priceless!!
just put your handle in a post on this thread.. hb.

or just, Hey You!!
This site was/is/has been/will continue to be
the instrument that finally gave me the TOTAL
freedom that I had been seeking for almost
30 years after leaving the Cult of the Watchtower
It let me know....................
I was not alone
It educated me on the
TRUTH of things
It helped me through the
emotional struggles
It enabled me to put it all behind
The "IT" is the people here!!
Thank You All

i'd love to see how the average dub would react to the ending.

most brothers are shocked when i tell them chess is banned because it's un-wholesome!.
awake 1973 3/22 p.12 ..."the spirit of competition between players can lead to unpleasant circumstances...most families manage to keep the conflicts that arise in a game to the chess board.
but, in some homes tensions linger long past "checkmate.
It was a BIG deal
at the cong. I went to
