My personal advice is "just fade"...by writing a letter is just giving them authority over you. Simply ignore them and fade. This shows that you are not allowing them to exercise any control to your life.

Advice on Disassociating
by HiddenPimo inhello my exjw/pimo/pomo friends,.
i am working on penning my da letter and wondered if i should use it as a tool to maybe wake up individuals as the boe will have to read it.. anyone have any advice on what i should say versus what i should leave out?
i am not going to fade as my family can either be loyal to blood or loyal to a man made religion.

BRANCH OVERSEER : "Apostates are GOOD people !"
by Aleph inthis is quite incredible.during his talk, the branch overseer, made a special talk dedicated to the apostates.. he clearly emphasis his point, "apostates used to be between us, really you can talk with apostates, those people are good, of course their point of vue is different than ours now but they are mostly very nice poeple, and you shouldn't be afraid to talk with them.
"though as usual, the reaction of the brothers was quite the same, impassive, i was very surprise by this statement.i cannot assume if this is just a one man step ahead towards the apostates, or really a change in their policies, this came from the mouth of a branch overseer.of course, for obvious reason, i won't give the name of the brother, which is famous, but only here in an central european country.i would have expected him to quote more scriptures, but he didn't, he could have use the one for jesus himself :"you should love your enemies", as apostates were really the "enemies" for the wtbs for such a long time, maybe now that the king of the north is awaken, apostates are not so bad after all ?
just wondering....

The guy for sure is awakening and he is on the way out. This kind of talk it was to help others to open their minds and leave this evil cult. I'm not sure if he will remain in this position for long, with this kind of public talks

NEVER, throw old publications and CD's of the Watchtower if you are thinking to keep them in your library. They are constantly changing the online library from the printed publications. There are many examples. I don't recall the Watchtower, I think it was 1989 January 1st. They clearly stated the preaching work would be completed " before the end of the century". Then on the printed volumes it was changed to "our day". Now that they almost stopped printing, and got rid of old publications, if you are thinking to keep them as reference, my suggestion is never throw anything. My library goes back to 1920, with Booze Jo's books. If you wanna read apostate material, just read old WT's publications

Another silly Bible story...brought to you by the ''old and tired Moses''
by RULES & REGULATIONS inexodus 17:8-16 new international version (niv)the amalekites defeated8 the amalekites came and attacked the israelites at rephidim.
9 moses said to joshua, “choose some of our men and go out to fight the amalekites.
tomorrow i will stand on top of the hill with the staff of god in my hands.”10 so joshua fought the amalekites as moses had ordered, and moses, aaron and hur went to the top of the hill.

Read only the first 5 books of the Old Testament and is more than enough to conclude that its all Myths. Hebrew god its full of anger, jealousy, egoistic attitude, misogynist, with the mentality of an 8 year old boy, that someone has taken his toy!

Their corporate Directors know it. JW's are leavng by huge numbers. You can see it from ex Jw's YouTube activists and the new stories that are uploaded. You can see it from the Kingdom hall crash videos, the JW's who are attending to the meetings are not many and halls are half empty, and baptisms you only see a handful JW's to get baptized and most of them 10 year old kids. The selling of KH all over the world, just in Germany they sold the last few years 310 kingdom halls, and this are official numbers. They are not 8 millions world wide. WT is lying how many members they have world wide. It is another game by the GB, which apparently they are making fool of themselves, through JW broadcast. They are completely uneducated idiots, and they are exposing themselves to the public. Their arrogance and stubbornness to keep the 2 Witness rule, in regards with child abuse is speeding up the fall of the WT. The Australian Royal Commission, W5 documentary, Leah Remini with the latest documentary, the massive amounts they are paying for lawsuits and the negative attention they are receiving from the media, it shows that the days of this evil cult are numbered

Keep the good moments that you had with her. Unfortunately this is life, we need to carry on, many times without the people we love.

My story
by Leeny ini came across this website when i was looking for some emotional/mental support lately as i was summoned by elders to explain someone’s report on me saying “i’m promoting homosexuality”.
i’m inactive, not attending meetings or associating with jw outside of my biological family for almost 2 years now.. yes i am gay (you can judge away) and yes it is in a direct contrast to the scriptures, no arguement about it.. i was brought up in a jw family.
my dad is a typical zealot, he literally talks or thinks about the bible 24/7.

Hi Leeny. Just be your self and follow your heart. WT's God is a Jewish fictional imagery god, full of hatred and revenge. That's why many JWs can't feel any connection with him. If you read the Old Testament, you will realize that is full of violence, contradictions with History and Science facts, a book that was written 3500 thousand years ago by a bunch of misogynistic nomads living in the desert. That's what it is. Jesus He never condemned anyone, except the self righteous religious Jewish leaders, that apparently the Governing Body of the WT, is acting exactly the same. Being gay is something that is in your nature. I' m not gay but I have gay friends and they are the most lovely people to associate with. Just leave WT behind and live your life. My life was destroyed by the WT, when I left almost 16 years ago. Lost family, friends, with no education, kicked out in the streets because I told them the Truth about the Truth. Never managed to get on my feet. If you found love then cling to it, you are very lucky.

ECHR Rules Against Free Speech
by cofty inthe european court of human rights ruled against an austrian woman who claimed calling the prophet muhammad a pedophile was protected by free speech.
... the woman in 2009 held two seminars entitled "basic information on islam," during which she likened muhammad's marriage to a six-year-old girl, aisha, to pedophilia.. the marriage according to islamic tradition was consummated when aisha was nine and muhammad was around 50. aisha was the daughter of muhammad's best friend and the first caliph, abu bakr.. the court cited the austrian women stating during the seminar that muhammad "liked to do it with children" and "... a 56-year-old and a six-year-old?
... what do we call it, if it is not pedophilia?".

So here we have, a sinister cult, that the founder ordered killing anyone who doesn't follow him, asked his followers to do so, not to mention that its acceptable to use women that have been captured in the war as spoils, as sex slaves. While under the sharia law, a woman is just an object, a sex pleasure for man, and eventually has no any rights. He was married with a 9 year old, oh yeah he was engaged while she was 6, and this doesn't make him a paedophile. And the rest of the world, has no right to speak the facts or point the errors, because the followers of that cult will be offended...does it makes sense???

Is the Sell-off of Kingdom Halls Just a Cyclical Process
by RubaDub inwith more and more kh's being sold off, will it only be a matter of time that there will be a push to build new ones?
greater emphasis on donating to build new kh's since some brothers have to drive long distances to attend meetings?
and that smaller communities should have a local kh that is visible to all in the area?.

I believe WT is rapidly coming to an end. From statistics we know that just the last 10 years, they have lost over 1.2 million members! It takes 20,000 hours to convert a new JW, and the only ones that they managed to baptize is only their 10 year old children. You can see their KH halls empty, and from merging congregations and selling KH, the numbers they claim that they have, I doubt if they are real. What they will do, is to liquidate their assets, and deposit the money in Cayman Islands. They know their time is running out. It's hard times for cults!
