Well, I'm so glad you found happiness with your wife and children. When all's said and done no matter how successful we are as professionals, or in business, it's really our family - our kids - that bring us the most joy. I feel for those that sacrifice everything, never getting that opportunity for the sake of a cult. I know it's not for absolutely everyone & many people lead full & happy lives never marrying or having kids....indeed prefer it. But for most of us "normies" it's the pinnacle of happiness, when we look back on life so I'm glad they didn't rob you of that :)

My story of becoming a circuit overseer after Kin Suen visited our congregation.
by ExCircuitOverseer inhere is my story of becoming a missionary after having kin suen (pronounced “shin”) as my circuit overseer.
my father wanted me to go to college, but since he wasn’t a witness, i knew he just didn’t understand how close we were to the end.
i had actually become a circuit overseer!

A mosque? When I was a JW the very thought that a building dedicated to Jehovah would be sold to "Babylon" would be unthinkable.
By the way Isn't that near Stockport?? That lad that stabbed those children was radicalised around there.

Eric makes some excellent videos, as the lady stated, on the pitfalls of becoming a Witness & some of the worst aspects of Watchtower's controlling & abusive behaviour.
It's a pity if he too has become another controlling religious leader, believing himself an authority over someone else's conscience?

So now its "rewarding work"? I thought he hated it.....and EXJW's, for that matter?! He thinks watching a you tube vid is "free stuff" & equivilent to poncing drinks all night off some poor sod in a bar? I can just imagine him down the pub - ducking out when it's his turn to stand a round, after someone else has been buying the drinks all night! He really can't help revealing his assholery, can he?

Netflix Live Boxing Event
by moomanchu inwhen i was in the org it seemed most brothers were very much into football and other sports.
which looking back makes no sense and makes me wonder why?
it felt like an overcompensating to be masculine.. shouldn't football be deemed unchristian?

Ha ha, not quite. I always used to think the real reason was because football "soccer" was a nice male occupation and they were therefore unlikely to run across too many young unnattached females, therefore the bosses in Crooklyn weren't too pressed about JW men being a little OTT obsessed with it. I'm quite sure if they could they would have banned it but whilst JW men were thinking about fooball they weren't thinking about sex.
prove me wrong :)) :))

The case from Denmark - setttled in The European Court
by AndersonsInfo inbeninu andersen.
denmark.
i am not aware of how many of you are familiar with the danish case of a jehovah's witness who was hospitalized after a tragic accident where he fell several floors from a scaffolding where he was working.. the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit and was conscious (albeit somewhat confused) for the first three weeks.

Thank heaven common sense prevailed. One has to think of the alternative. Imagine the advance directive was in fact out of date, or the widow would have dispensed with it due to Witchtower's changing position on blood products....but the doctors allowed the patient to die.
What is the most egregious of the two siutations? No question its the second.

Trump wins
by gavindlt ini am non political and have never voted but nonetheless i have been keenly watching to see how the trump presidential race unfolds.
i believe that his involvement in propelling or influencing a leaning toward bible prophecy will unfold.
how, i can’t say but something tells me that this anomaly and outlier being trump is highly signifiant!

MMM My guess is that a lot of people close to Kamala got rich one way or another... you know, Hunter-style. They "render services" for the campaign, and invoice millions.
Heck yes. Can you imagine? These utterly unprincipled bastards suddenly getting this giant - essentially blank - cheque???
It's like the political theocratic warfare, all bets are off "we're literally dealing with Hitler here folks!! Of course I can get my personal "inner city charity" a half a million dollar 'donation' to get my endorsement for Kamala and heck I'll even throw in an interview with her. We can get another few hundred thousand to decorate the old place....I've got some buddies that will do the job for $100,000. Do a good deed & pay some school leavers minimum wage for a 12 hour "training" day out of it
....and so on and so forth.🤦🏻♀️
