Loved your video! I can relate to everything that you said 100%! LOL at you telling the JW to "Scurry along." I hope that your husband and daughter are able to get out, too. It is truly wonderful to have your family on the same page.

Our latest "Gee it's great not to be a JW" moment. Share yours!
by Open mind inrecently my son had a minor injury that required a trip to the emergency room.
the admitting nurse asked us a ton of questions and then this:.
nurse: do you have a religion?.

I, too, have many to choose from but this is one that makes me smile. When my son was accepted at a university and we went up there for the 'orientation'. It was exciting to hear about dorm rooms and campus activities that he would be able to participate in. He is getting to have the normal life that me and his dad weren't able to.
And that makes me smile big time!!

File a lawsuit against a fellow 'Christian" and you may get disfellowshipped...
by QuestioningEverything inmy very dear friends brother died tragically at work a few years back-the employer's were at fault 100%.
my friend cindy, her mom lily and his wife tammy-(all witnesses-not their real names) filed a lawsuit against the company and won a judgment of $1.2 million dollars.
the check was cut and cindy and her mom haven't seen one penny of the judgment.

Desirous of Change-I understand what you are saying and so do Lily and Cindy. Lily asked for a mere $35,000 of the $1,200,000 settlement to help settle her personal debts. Cindy asked for nothing. Tammy would still have $1,165,000 left. This greedy bitch said that she can't afford to give Lily anything-that she needs all of it to survive on. Tammy and the deceased had no children and no outstanding debt when he passed.
Cindy and Lily are very humble, kind people. Tammy mislead them when the settlement papers were being signed. They are not selfish or greedy in any way.

I still miss Teena Marie...
by serenitynow! init was 1 year ago today that she died, way too soon.
she was a great singer and songwriter and i was lucky enough to see her in concert twice.

I LOVE TEENA MARIE!! Me and the husband went to see her in Detroit at Chene Park. It was a gorgeous summer night and she rocked the house! So glad that I was able to see her in concert before she passed. It was a performance to remember forever.
RIP Teena Marie

My very dear friends brother died tragically at work a few years back-the employer's were at fault 100%. My friend Cindy, her mom Lily and his wife Tammy-(all witnesses-not their real names) filed a lawsuit against the company and won a judgment of $1.2 million dollars. The check was cut and Cindy and her mom haven't seen one penny of the judgment. Not sure how that happened since they were in on the suit initially.
Cindy is inactive but Lily isn't. Lily attempted to speak with the elders about this when the settlement check arrived and the daughter in law told them to never contact her again, that they weren't getting any money, she needed it to survive. The elders told Lily it was a 'family matter' and that they couldn't get involved. Being the good witness she is, she dropped the matter.
Eighteen months have passed and Tammy still refuses to speak with Cindy or Lily. Lily has retained an attorney and filed suit against Tammy. When Tammy received the court papers, she went to the elders. One of the elders told Lily that if she continued to pursue this lawsuit, she could be disfellowshipped! Really? And stealing from your Mother and Sister-in Law, your dear husband's only family isn't a disfellowshipping offense?
I was very upset when I heard what the elders told Lily. She has been a loyal witness forever. It's just shameful.
Now, what can i say to my friend to help her see the 'wrongness' of the elders and maybe open her eyes to the WTBS?

Has This Place Helped You To Come Out Or Stay Out Of The Organization?
by minimus ineverytime i read a page of topics, i can't help but accept that the witness religion is such a fraud.. keep up the good work in exposing the watchtower society!.

I am out for good! However, when I first started my journey, this site was immensely helpful in exposing the WTBS for what they truly are. I would recommend to anyone who is unsure to check out this site and JWFacts to help you remove any doubt you may have.
Take care.

Welcome-I could relate to the school celebrations. I hated that feeling of being the only one not participating.

To All Lurkers--please read this---
by QuestioningEverything ini used to be just like many of you---i was scared to read/hear/see anything that didn't put the jw's in a positive light.
i was raised as a witness and believed everything they taught wholeheartedly and 110%.
don't let other poster's or even the jw's discourage you from investigating the 'truth' about the watchtower society.

Thank you all-- I hope that lurkers will read it and see that their life can improve outside the confine of the WTBS. It is amazing how much better my life and that of my family has become.
Peace to you all, too!
