this is a very strange thing for me to do.
i have been an active witness for over 25 years.
i currently serve as an elder and i conduct the watchtower study.
Best wishes on the journey thedog1.
Great news that you've been able to step down and stay calm and steady.
It is possible to be true to yourself and still maintain positive relationships in the family with most people if you can create a warm, loving and supportive space where it is OK to agree to disagree. Even the Watchtower literature will support following one's conscience instead of the traditions of men.
today he kept bumping in to (or rather dodging and weaving from) fellow witnesses.
he's talking about returning but can't figure out a way to do it without enduring a fair amount of humiliation.
i did not panic.
One wonders how he would feel if he realised to what extent the Watchtower has betrayed his trust, and as Blondie said, if he could see the rotten core, particularly in the hierarchy...
It seems a question to ask may be, what makes "right brain" dominant individuals leave for good, and guilt free too?
(So called "right brain" thinking = intuitive, thoughtful, and subjective. So called "left brain" thinking = logical, analytical, and objective. Source.)

Personally I believe there may be merit in understanding and dealing with the addiction mechanics involved, from a Psychological and Pneumatological perspective.

I wonder if it might help him and us if there was more detail or clarity on:
funny interchange last night on youtube made me laugh hard:.

I'm getting a strong feeling that the apostate Watchtower council of Popes will soon regret this latest brainwave of theirs.
Somebody get that domain just as soon as *.orgy is available!
all my family members and friends (that include some elders) advised me to divorce my wife whose only joy was to pick up fight with me for everything i do, except my grand-mother who said: when you married her, you looked for only her good pointher regular pioneering despite having an opposing family.
for being good, you will ultimately reap something far better through her.
stick on to her.
Hearing the voice of God means something very different to the physical versus spiritual man.
Thank you for sharing exWTslave.
the thread about satan in the abyss for 1000 years prompts a question.. jesus will rule for 1000 years.. jesus began ruling in 1914, which means his 1000 year reign will end in 2914.. satan will be abyssed for 1000 years.. if the end comes in 2020, satan will be abyssed in 2020, and then released in 3020.. what happens between 2914 and 3020?.
honest question..
These days I hold views in this space lightly.
What if Jesus actually started ruling 10 days after his ascension (Pentecost 33 AD)?
Does it make sense to be rigid about these matters when time becomes relative in 4D (just one level above our 3D world)?
What happens to time in the 5D to 11D space and beyond?

i recently ordered a copy of coc for my wife.
she doesn't know it exists, but i'm hoping she's ready to read it.
it seems to be the best red pill out there.
I was asked to explain what the gospel is in one word, and ended up excavating fragments of the red pill from the Watchtower library, until a complete picture emerged as to what the Watchtower hierarchy was hiding from us and why.
It only took my family 30 months to divorce the apostate Watchtower organisation, its apostate magisterium, and its apostate ruling religious clergy class.
This decision was based solely on the huge discrepancy between what is in their publications, and what is in their hearts and on their lips, in relation to the liberating gospel of grace.

reason i started this topic is related on how the wts/jw's will react or jump onto this piece of news.. in previous years where un or some nation condemned the vatican, jw's start jumping into conclusion the end is near the great tribulation is starting.
Despite Rutherford teaching that all religion is a snare and a racket, JWs have been taught to instead love the apostasy of Watchtower legal council and Vice President Hayden C Covington which introduced the spurious and self-serving concepts of "true religion" and "false religion" in the early 1950's.
(Books by Rutherford: "Religion", 1940, and "Enemies", 1937. Legal booklet by Covington: “Defending and Legally Establishing the Good News”, 1950)
there are people who mock at the reports of ndes and communication from the dead and so on.
things are changing now!
a new finding has discovered that the whole universe is intimately interconnected.
Just by thinking in the 4th dimension, a higher level of consciousness, Einstein found that time and space are not absolute but relative.
Another part of his wisdom and genius was calling it a theory, thereby taking off the pressure, and giving people as much time as they needed to explore and make up their own minds.
What we know and understand in 3D, looks very different in the 4D to 11D space that we are starting to become more aware of as we evolve from a Type-0 to a Type-1 civilisation on the Kardashev Scale, over the next 100 years.
Michio Kaku makes this physics accessible to ordinary lay persons (like me) on YouTube, and in his books "Hyperspace" and "Physics of the Future". Michio Kaku points out that is is only possible to properly explain gravity, electromagnetism, strong nuclear, and weak nuclear forces in the 4D to 11D space where they become much simpler.
It would seem the "Physics of the Future" is intimately linked with what Stanislav Grof outlines as "The Psychology of the Future" (on YouTube).
