  Beth,

  i know now I was hoping to learn of sources that are legitimate but also not associated with watchtower. I am looking to start a portfolio of sorts so I have accurate information especially when I approach my wife with it.

  Giordano,

  thanks for that link link it’s really sickening how they are such hypocrites and how we could all have been duped for so many years. And to my parents you’re right the accounts reports are vague at best almost makes me wanna raise my hand at the next one and ask for a detailed accounting of where it all goes ( I won’t don’t worry) but I’d love to see the reaction.

  Sadly transparency is severely lacking with them and not just in the way of finances.

  That’s the problem right there isn’t it. I’ve been trying to research it with no success. I know they have investments in government and military but I have as of yet been able to find good proof.

But for now i have a question. Where can I find legitimate sources to show where the WTBS invests their money? If anyone knows I’ll greatly appreciate it.

  oh where to begin i am a born in witness witness mother and father and grandparents though only 2 of the 4. i was born in the early 80’s and immediately my parents faced the blood transfusion issue course in their minds at the time it wasn’t an issue it was not gonna happen.

  i don’t wanna go into too much detail but fortunately it worked out well as is evidenced by my writing of this back story.

  i had the usual spiritual goals that most witness children have i got baptized at 13 then i started running mics and doing sound and giving more talks.

  Thanks diogensister and yes I’m ok with the word “CULT” but what I am backing off from saying is the the derogatory word “WORLDLY” but witnesses are impartial. But as far as the childhood things I’m old enough not to care anymore especially what all normal kids do. I’ll look at that link later when I can and thanks.

  Thanks all for the warm welcome and I look forward to making new friends that aren’t conditional on whether you are a certain religion or not.

  Hello desirousofchange,

  I agree on that point and that was my direction I want to go. Fortunately she has big issues with the generation teaching and child baptism so I have a good start from there. From this point on it’s gonna be opening her mind about other things slowly of course to the point where she’s ready to make a stand.

  Hey dad can’t say I’ve told you every detail of my life especially then I can’t imagine how much trouble I would’ve been in.

  Thanks Bill I am taking it slowly and just using little opportunities to make a comment here or there just to help the wife think a little and hopefully one day see what TTATT really is.
