"set your heart on spiritual treasures.
" i have been thinking about this during the past week.
i always knew that there were no treasures on earth.
The only treasures in Watchtower La La Land are the treasures of the bankaccounts. 2 bilions and more profit from thr Brooklyn sale and the worth of all the property they still have.
The people inside are just like dust. Think about earlyer generation JW's. There is no talk about them.

what simple pleasures do you enjoy since leaving watchtower?
here's some of mine, in no particular order:.
a cigar: i dont smoke cigarettes at all, but i do enjoy a good cigar from time to time.
Gorby enjoys the freedom of not preparing meeting parts, no more fieldservice and no more downplaying anymore.
Just proud of who I am and my family and kids.
Sometimes a lotto.
And taking my own route.

this poor girl was baptized at 9yo.
.
she isnt old enough to buy alcohol, to vote, to decide her own medical treatment, to buy a pet, to travel alone... yet she was deemed old enough to dedicate her life to a religion that will cut her off from her family if she ever leaves.. here she is applauded for shunning her own sister who tried to keep in contact with her after waking up.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yzgnfda8ki.

more and more i see references to jw.org or bible text with the name jehovah into the status info of social media accounts of family members.. do they identify so much with the organization that they make an ass of themself?.

so i still have to go to meeting etc and my head hurts its just im trying to wake up and the teachings are getting shoved back in my head or with field service im giving people papers i want to rip it in my hands.. now its like i need a smoking break i have to just walk out the kingdom hall and get my mind back together.. just something thats new for me.
I wish you all the best. I had the same feeling 20 years ago. 25 years old, just read RF Coc. Confusing times.

a pimo friend (physically in mentally out) has just informed me that the cult has decided that they want to suppress all old jw org information by removing bound volumes etc from kh libraries.. in reality, all through their history they have claimed divine "new light" as a means of changing uncomfortable doctrines.
this however would mean that new jws, or more likely these days young jws, will be prevented from seeing the old light which had been held up as divinely inspired truth in the past.. truth which would get you through big a and which if you didn't agree with would get you disfellowshipped.. anyone else heard of this?
what might be the reasons (if true) for removing the old wts?.
I rescued some old publications my grand mother donated to the hall some 10 years ago. Some uber CBE told from the platform that old publications had to be trown away. I did not hesistate, walked to the library and took all the former family publications.
Did not make a secret of it, but told loud thay soms steps has to be taken to save history from vandals.

for the past six months the coordinator's wife has definitely been avoiding me, turning her back or walking away when i walk in her direction, giving me a stare at other times.
if i try to make casual conversation with her, she literally walks away or just looks through me until someone else comes to talk to her.. i can only think of one reason, which is that she may have seen me give a car ride to a disfellowshipped person months ago.
i mean, it would be totally random if she happened to spot me on this one short journey, but it's possible.
Ignore her...
Just like I do with 99 percent of the local congo.
No need to be friends with all.
Be selective just like her.

lorenz reibling (known as brother reibling to some...) - owner of taurus investments* - spoke in munich, germany october 2016.. *taurus investments bought property from the wt - story here:.

it seems like reibling has been spending most of his time in germany these past couple years.
Follow the money.
Taurus has some deep connection with the higher wt echolon.

i really liked this kind of articles when back in borg, because they address the issues i was most concerned about.
or at least i thought that they address, because they don't.
i marked all the deceptive techniques and logical manipulations they use as a mental exercise and would like to share with you.
The organization first and then becomming plumber.

during the "do you love me more than these" watchtower study on sunday, i got so angry on many occasions, hearing people make comments like "if you enjoy your job, you're an enemy of jehovah" and "the only reason we're here is to preach.
work and relaxation only exist to help us to preach".. the paragraph talking about the "do more!
" attitude in the world getting people down really got me down just reading it, as it applies so much to the borg.. i also found the ecclesiastes scripture quoted to be ironic, as the rest of the article tells is that nothing is better or more of a priority than to preach;.
Cult.
