do you remember the first time you found out "the truth about the truth"?.
yes, it was confronting, shocking and life altering.
yes it was hard to deal with.. but, along with that, many have said that they experienced a sense of thrill, euphoria, or joy when realising the facts about the religion that held us captive mentally and physically for so long.. it was liberating to learn some of the controversial teachings etc.
It was breathtaking for me. Shocking. I was angry. Don't miss this period in time for me. Generation change, Insight book, Daniel and Isiah books did it all. Then Ray Franz CoC. Hourglass forum, the Internet of 1997. Later this forum.
Every inch of my dna was shocked.
It took some years of my life I supose.
But not a time to be missed. Better man since then.

so it's been over a month since i decided to grow a beard.
the mustache and chin have come in fuller than i ever imagined - while the cheeks leave me wondering if i'll ever grow enough hair to make it not look so wildly unkept and patchy (if anyone has any advice here it'd be much appreciated).
but in the mean time i'll give it another month and see how it goes.. .
Gorby’s beard has to stay, his lovely wife demands it!

you start listening to music deemed "unsuitable for christians".
you pretend to knock on the doors.
you explain a jw teaching to someone and realize how ridiculous it sounds.
When you realise you like the religion more then the religion likes you.

When you can't sing the songs because of the songtext, and you can't close your eyes during prayer anymore.

its been awhile since i've commented but i come by and read your posts about once a week.
so why do i need a pep talk ?
after almost 2 years into my fade these bastards won't give it a rest constant hang ups on my answering machine and today for the first time in about 6 months they come to my apartment complex but thankfully couldn't get in they did keep buzzing me so they were here looking for me.
Ignore them, my friend.
Keep calm!

from 2012 thru 2016, congregations in georgia and alabama collected funds to build a new assembly hall in south atlanta.
to date, 3.5 million dollars was collected and 75 acres was purchased.
the branch decided that this assembly hall was not needed.
What did you day? You don’t trust us?

a thread began some 10 years ago when our friend atlantis made a pdf available of jws modern history book.
yes, that book is available on my 2015 library cd but only certain chapters.
naturally, wt eliminated certain entire chapters and you can only guess why.
The study of this book at the congregational meeting was for me an eye opener. The parts about Rutherfrauds behavior. The continue doctrinal errors. The real first wt president.
It was at a convention 3 years ago, when the book was replaced by 2 video's, the speaker said the replacement was done because "witnesses don't like to read thick books". An Orwellian phrase.

from one of our informants inside the watchtower.
(same person whosent us videos from the legal dept., accounting dept., pioneer school,and so forth.
) atlantis told him that he is walking on a razors edge,to be extremely careful.his email message:1. watch tower has no right to demand you to sign a consent form.
So every publisher gets an internal ID.
What will they do when someone stops preaching and losing the publisher label?
What they can use is big data. Trends in activity.
What kinds of jw’s are most valuable for the organization.
What is someone worth? Spiritual, financial and organizational.
