  I have been out the same length of time. I missed the thing about no district overseers. So no one visits the Kingdom Halls and gives talks and goes over the records, etc?

  Hope y'all in Texas are doing OK !

  some terrible flooding happening there.. i never realized that texas was so prone to serious floods and flash-floods because of the geography and weather.

  it tops the stats nearly every year for flood fatalities.. stay safe, stay dry if you can and don't take any chances.

  water is unbelievably powerful - whatever vehicle you have it can sweep it away like a twig.

  Thanks for thinking of us. Many of the schools around Houston were closed today, I am guessing because of the flooding. (I am a teacher and well-don't mind if I have an extra day-but I digress) Where I live, in northeast Houston, there is minimal flooding. Of course Houston is a huge city, and I realize others haven't fared so well. Hope the rain calms down soon!!

  One month researching my doubts: my crucial issues with WTBTS - what are yours?

  so after 20 years a convert, about a month ago i decided to start listening to my doubts and to do independent research about the wtbts teachings (naughty me).

  as a result i have consolidated my position on various points and these are my major issues with the wtbts teachings, i am posting these to help myself figure things out (with your assistance) and hopefully to hear from others at their stage of drawing away from the gb - newbies' especially.

  in the form of notes so hope you dont mind...child abuse.

  How about their stand on education? How many very capable and bright children were told that instead of college they should pioneer and clean windows?

  just popped in to say hi and let you know that my wife and i have been "out" for 10 years!!!

  wow a whole decade without going to a meeting or out door to door.. no bolts of lightening, only a couple of visits in all that time by some petrified elders and a couple of newbie locals knocking on our door in all that time!.

  how wonderful!

  Congratulations! After all this time, isn't it wonderful how the WT teachings become a distant memory?

  Just wanted to add my welcome.

  Isn't thinking for yourself wonderful? To go to school with an open mind, soaking up information...pushing yourself to make the best grades possible...a grand opportunity that is totally worth it! I was "in" for over thirty years, but finally was able to go beyond "The Society says." i graduated from college at 61 years of age.

  You can make it! Keep us posted on your progress.

  the "boasting session" last night included forcing the congregation to watch that stupid witnessing cart video.

  then the brother handling the part discusses what a "powerful witness" is being given each time those carts roll out into public view.. experiences: had a nice conversation with a young man.

  a woman took a tract.

  Isn't it hideously ironic that JWs like to park a cart and young people near a University when they feel that higher education is a tool of Satan? How hypocritical can they get? I would love to go stand next to the cart with a sign that quotes from an article from the the WTS with their real view, then a statement, "Why not ask these Witnesses about it?"

  I'll bet some of the young people are highly desirous of going in with the students to really learn something....

  i started this topic 5 years ago letting everyone know i had decide to get my ged and go to college in hopes of getting an education so that i could have a career instead of just a job.

  i wanted fulfillment and a future, not just another job that has no really future in it.

  i've been lurking for about 3 months now and thought i'd better finally sign up.

  you have all been an immense help to me as i have come to realize that this isn't the truth so i want to say a great big thank you!

  what a crazy, emotional ride it is to finally face the truth about the doubts that i have carried for many years.

  Welcome, Stumpy. A hearty Texas howdy to you and your wife.

  What you and your wife are going through was the same for my husband and I. We were"in" for over thirty years and he was an elder for twenty years.

  When we finally realized it just couldn't be the truth, we were bewildered, depressed, and felt like the rug had been pulled from beneath us. In our case, we'd put family at a long arm's length for many years, never spending much time with our parents, and then only grudgingly, feeling that they were hopelessly dupes of Satan. By the time we woke up to the truth, they were dead.

  We left about ten years ago. By now, we are on a much better track. I went to college and graduated at 61. I am a teacher. My husband enjoys hobbies he could not develop before.

  Please know there is abundant happiness and life after leaving. Wish your family the best.
