  Wow you are really doing a long fade Mad Sweeney.....I'm finding it very hard to keep being involved.The generation change was a big deal.They do bring up things only for JW even in public talks.It will be interesting to watch this decline of 1914,see what happens.

  im working on my exit strategy out of the watchtower org.

  ive set my mind to be out by the end of 2010 or mid 2011. .

  id like to avoid getting df and disassociating my self is also an undesirable option.

  Wow,every ones situation is so different.I have really enjoyed some of the experience from some of the x elders that have faded.Cant leave says he just re signed. His story is interesting.This is not an easy thing to do.The control is amazing.It is really hard when people depend on you,good luck to you.

  Dec. 15th WT - WT Society REALLY Minimizes Earning a Decent Living

  it's ridiculous.

  i saw this so much in my 44 years in the jehovah's witness cult.

  whether it was elders, pioneers, or other people in the cult criticizing others for working too much at their employment or missing some service or meetings due to employment.

  Many bro.in the 60s and 70s and even before were told not to worry about having money to retire because we would be in the new world.They have grown old and didn't have enough money to live there old age.My husband is very bitter toward the society.

  Hello from me!

  hello everyone.. after many months of lurking through my the worst time in my life and then not reading any posts since the website changed hands, i just wanted to say hello!.

  all the stalwarts on here helped me so much through the worst times (born in, left when i was 34) i was too emotional to ever comment, but now i am ready to help others start to rebuild their worlds.. i just want to give all those doubters of that religion hope and help now that i have gone full circle- hence my user name.

  there is lots to say, but i will join in and you will get to know me.. for anyone that is in turmoil with worry over whether to leave or not, i can empathise, but it will be the best decision you ever make!.
