My wife was raised up as a hard core JW, long time pioneered, baptized 25 years, and after I showed her the generation change she said:
"Its really weird it sounds like a cult".
Hope more others will see the light...

the watchtower has been known for over 130 years as a great scriptural cherry-picker.
they pick out disparate unrelated verses and combine them to support the wackiest of wacky doctrines.. on the other hand there are many scriptures they almost never address, whether because they contradict wt doctrine or because they simply don't have a clue what they mean or how to spin them to the wt advantage.. one of these is revelation 19:1 that mentions a "great crowd" "in heaven.
" the only time it is ever brought up it is dismissed.
Marking....

i started to study with jw when i was 19. my jw teacher was 30+ charismatic nice guy, comming with his wife.
when discussing "bad associations" i disagreed on completely avoiding company of worldly colleauges and friends.
the sister after several atempts to convince me got angry and told me: "does it encourage you to serve jehovah?

You shouldnt do anything that doesnt encourage you to serve Jehovah!!!"
At that moment I felt this reasoning is stupid, but unfortunately I didnt break of...

i have a problem.
my hubby and i are tying to fade out completely, but we ran into a snag.
my in-laws showed up with a stack of time slips and said that they will turn them in for us if we fill them out.
You make it look as if Witnesses lie all the time in quite trivial things to promote their religion. That is false.
Thats true Jordan. Sorry.
In My my country, Czech republic, when JW asked to be acknoweldged by government (in 1993) they were asked by the Ministry of culture (responsible for religion) three simple questions. One them was:
Do JW teach their members are not allowed to accept blood transfusions? Do JW teach a parent should avoid blood transfusion of their child, even in the threat of death?
JW (czech branch coordinators) have answerd: NO, JW DO NOT TEACH THAT.
This was publicly revealed in media and turned to be a big shame and many JW had left because of that.
Sorry Jordan, JW DO LIE.... Just face the facts...

dear congo,.
i was df'ed for apostasy (brother-in-law caught me on this web site in march of 2007) and since my judicial committee in april of 2007 and subsequent divorce in october of 2007 i never looked back.
3 years later, my son (12 years old) is completely out (has only attended the memorial since leaving), and my daughter (10) is fading as best she can.
My dear congregation,
once in a month I visit a public talk in your KH with my wife, just to ensure the level of brainwashing my wife is exposed to, is not too high.
If I wouldnt acompay my wife, I know your elders would work hard to convince her she should not obey me, because Iam spiritually weak. I wish I could write a DA letter, but its not possible yet. I still have one important mission to acomplish: To make sure my kids will never ever become members of any destructive cult, for example JW. So I teach them about freedom, honesty, mind control, cults and stuff like that. My son especially likes when I tell him stories about Judge Rutherford and Uncle Russel and his Pyramids.
Every day I focus on the day, when my kids will be safely out and I will be able to show you one of my fingers.... I know exactly which one it will be....

my sister is getting baptized soon.
she's still talking to me but i'm sure it won't be for much longer.
i've already asked her the following questions:.
In the only true religion - if a child is molested by its representative - should the child be asked to provide extra witness of the deed?
And if there is no other witness - should he/she be denied help and should he/she be ordered to shut up?

the longer you watch this the funnier it gets!.

i am wondering if he ever really did try "couch surfing"?
i found a website about it and i wonder if it has become a real movement?
http://www.couchsurfing.org/.
I dont know where and who is Alpaca, but my friend is using couchsurfing often (actually at this moment she is as a coach surfer in India). She says its great and it works good - you can enjoy free accomodation and to meet local people wherever you travel...

while we were jw, we uncountedly stated, that we have a hope to live forever on earth, now really think about it:.
dinosaurs lived here some 100 000 000 years ago.
pangea splited into continents some 300 000 000 years ago.

Earth was created some 4 000 000 000 years ago
Whole Universe came to the existence some 15 000 000 000 years ago
And 100 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 years from now, you as a JW with your JW wife/husband will still be on Earth, petting lions and planting vegetables on your garden, thinking the billions and trillions of years you experienced is just a begining, eternity is just ahead and will be soooo long ....
Do you really want to live forever on Earth?
In fact, I believe eternal life, would be a nightmare...
