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.
Parents became serious about the "truth" when I was about 7. I was baptized at 17.
Woke up at 28. Became completely inactive by 32 years old.
Lovin' every minute of it too, especially Saturday mornings - they are mine now!
So roughly seriously in as a JW from about 7 years old - 32 years old.

Thank you!
Anyone have the June 2014 pdf?
the lawyers acting on behalf of the wtbts/g.b./'mother' during a paedophile case a couple of years ago, have stated on record that - .
a) "field ministry is not controlled or monitored by the elders, the congregation, or watchtower".
b) "an individual publisher's field ministry activity, including the time and manner it is carried out, is a personal matter between the publisher and his god.".

leaving the university with my degree!.
exams are finished and it's just a matter of days before i walk.. i was certainly stressed about doing this.
i'm older than my classmates and armageddon was sooooo close!
Billy for President!! Congrats!
though i no longer believe the fds is indeed appointed by god, i guess because of what has been taught to me all these years through the wtbts, i still make an effort to try and look at both sides.
and then i come across this number below, which is how i arrived at my title for this thread.
***w81 2/15 p.19 do we need help to understand the bible?***.
BUMP
which is better in your estimation?
hit the borg with a d.a.
letter or do the slow fade.

What are your thoughts on this anyone??
I love reading about the different sides/outcomes to this subject.
i find it extremely amusing how each year is passing without armageddon.
"for the year 2000, i visualize a world transformed into a beautiful paradise!
but i don't think that either the present world or its rulers will live to see that day.. we are living in the last days of the system of things.
What a great thread to bring back! That pesky Armageddon keeps hiding!
i am sure there has been a post about this subject, however being a recent addition to the network i don't know how to do a search.
and i'm sure new folks have joined since then.
i am really curious of how others came to know ttatt.. for me is was a real bad experience with one elder after another.
At the time, I was in my 10th year of being a very active ministerial servant.
I already had my suspicions that I was "waiting on Jehovah" to clarify.
One in particular I could no longer wait on Jah to answer though was regarding me wondering where the holy spirit was in the congregation I attended and if it even operated there.
I already was begining to think it didn't exist. The question was really bothering me. I decided to look online, while "avoiding apostate sites", to see how other religious people might answer this.
Then I stumbled upon JWnet. I just new I shouldn't have kept reading. But I was finding myself relating to experiences I read on here.
I started to see I wasn't the only one with this concern and that it also wasn't local. It was worldwide in the organization.
That got the ball rolling.
i did not know anything about ttatt while attending the meetings.. .
ttatt=the truth about the truth..
About 4 years for me, and 2 of those years were while I was a ministerial servant.
