to know that I am an active apostate. It's funny, when I think back to how they describe those of us who have seen the truth about The Lies there really is some truth to it. Granted, we are not a bunch of spiritual hunch backs with sharpened teeth and drool running down our faces. But I remember one instance where a brother (or maybe one of the magazines) said that "apostates delight in leading people away from Jehovah." Now, I don't mean to say I take joy in damaging peoples lives, from a normal standpoint. However, in helping two people who are on their way out from that crackpot lunatic organization and all its nutty adherents, I have found that I DO enjoy "damaging" their views of the Watchtower Society. It's sort of an interesting thought. They are right about some of us finding joy in that, but, as usual, they credit us with the wrong motivation. Has anyone else realized this joy?

Write letters to citizens of Warwick New York exposing the Watchtower org.
by koolaid-man ina recent newspaper article in the warwick new york newspaper uncovers the plans for the watchtower society to move out of brooklyn new york and set up their world headquarters in warwick.
http://www.strausnews.com/articles/2009/11/25/warwick_advertiser/news/2.txt the citizens of warwick and the surrounding communities should be exposed to what the watchtower society really is, a dangerous and destructive cult!
note in the newspapers link comments made at the end of the article from concerned readers warning the community to really think twice before permitting the watchtower org.

They are used to living in a sci fi fantasy world, so they gravatate toward it. It's a wonder they aren't all playing dungeons and dragons...after all, they play Jehovah's Witnesses every friggin day

would you ever forget your life as a JW?
by highdose inand would you want to?
its starting to seem like a distent memory for me, even though its only been a year.

I know I couldn't forget it, and I'm pretty certain I wouldn't want to. It was an experience that took a number of years of my life to get through, and even though at the core of it all there was a lot of negatives, I did make a few friends that were worth keeping and that are truly wonderful. It also helped to make me the person I am. I am analytical, I can see a lot of alternate sides to matters as a result of the thought process that developed over the years that I was a Witness. I spoke to a Buddhist who told me that suffering is not the experiences of life, but how we react to them, because nobody likes change. We want to be stationary but life is anything but that. This led to her telling me that we are really nothing more than the culmination of all the experiences we have had and how we have reacted to them, up to this point in our lives. I am happy with who I am and that includes my history, a large portion of which was spent as a dub.

My move back into the 'real world'

although i never went as far as becoming a baptised minister, i had been attending meetings for almost a year now.

Did YOU Disturb The Consciences Of Others?
by minimus inthe watchtower is always saying how we have to watch everything we do or say because we just might offend somebody's conscience and lord knows we wouldn't wanna do that!.
did you find yourself offending the consciences of others?.

I always seemed to be offending someone's conscience. Usually it want's most people though, just a few of the ones that "mattered," like the PO (at the time). I was working at a YMCA camp where NOTHING regligious EVER took place. Nobody else seemed to care in the least, but this guy sure did. Then there was the issue of the goatee. People will find just about anything to pick at. Oh yeah, I didn't wear a suit jacket to the hall either.
