^ I sure did Scott. I'm currently working on my own story for an eBook...... it's very cathartic. It meant completely turning my life upside down....I have literally left every single person I knew behind. Fortunately, my family would never do that.....but all out side that circle are gone.
TTATT was a devastating.....but also, oddly serene experience...... it's such a strange emotional journey.....a person is amazed at how easy it was, but at the same time totally life altering.

for me, that happy day was in morro bay, calif. it was the fall, oct 1958 or 9. gorgeous weather.
the sun was shining and the wind was coming off of the ocean.. at that time, morro bay was unassigned territory.. talesin on another thread was talking about a lovely day she had, going with her grandfather, talking with a mr languages.
lol.
The very last day I walked away from it..........PURE JOY
before i dive into the actual write-up of this experience, let me put some things straight.. i have thought long and hard if i should write more about my experiences during the 10+ years at different branches.
during these years i worked from financial department, service department, home office and different it assignments.
as you can imagine one sees and hears and reads a lot of stuff going through different stations in different countries.
I am just discovering this thread/story............BluePill......please continue to write.
There are so many levels of pain for those of us that have left the "org".......I was a long time elder and have experienced very similar things to what you wrote about.
Don't stop writing......get it all out.
I wrote a small eBook ..... it helped me a great deal to just barf it all out: https://payhip.com/b/BeyN

Absolute BS
I've never seen so many cheaters in my life......11 years as an elder and almost every judicial committee was about cheating
five jehovahs witnesses traveling to convention feared to have drowned.

Terrible :(
I bet that experience doesn't make the Yearbook
my friend's daughter, who was baptized at 14, has decided to leave the witnesses.
she's in her early 20's.
she's stopped going to meeting a while ago and moved in with her father who is disfellowshipped.
I would respond "absolutely! My lawyer and I will be there.....what time?"
i believe that the older you are the harder it is to leave the watchtower.. .
i am attempting to get a list of ages people learnt the "truth" and what age they left.. .
uun.
Born in; left at 40 for good
the waters are drying up!
a congregation of 110+ publishers will be contributing only $200 a month to the society in the new kingdom hall construction arrangement.
that's less than $2 a publisher!
KAIK nailed it.
I've been saying for the past couple of years.....and this new 'not over 80' elder arrangment only proves it: They want the old timers to die.
With the old timers goes all the history.....and the broken promises. They will romanticize cheese danishes, ballpark conventions and those 90 hour a month pioneers for the next generation of gullible people.
It's tragic........I would love to be inside the head of these folks in their 60's and 70's........they have to be going 'huh?'
its unbelievable to me that one verse in the bible blows up the entire jw dogma and its amazing to me that with all this bible reading we jw's did we missed it.
even faders and people who quit for many reasons missed it.
what verse am i talking about it verse 9 of chapter 5 of revelations.
I couldn't agree more with The Searcher above. Nailed it. It's been my battle cry for years....
Field service is an unecessary action.....we should all just be mass murderers......guarantees a resurrection. Of course,..we would count our time and still take coffee breaks.
