ive sent this in again as i dont think it showed up when i tried.. well ive been out for about 4 years now, and have heklped 7 other people to leave.. last week i finally got my mom to read franz and penton.
she is not going back to the hall again!.
thanks to many but most notably simon and farkel who helped me.
well first off ive found the last post i put up and it had 20 repliesso sorry for reposting.
my only thoughts are this.
if you can get a witness when they are feeling bad about the "truth" then leave a little titbit for them to think on they will eventually ask to read the books themselves.
cheers

i started doing karate a few months ago.
today, an old memory came flooding back - i remember my mother telling me when i was a child and asked how people could punch through piles of wood, and breeze-blocks and suchlike, she told me it was because they were helped by the demons.
for years i thought karate was a satanistic activity (no, really!)...
hi
i havent posted in ages but i wanted to congratulate you for taking up karate.
ive been fighting for 18 months now and remember how i was told not to do it as a jw.
im really glad im free to enjoy martial arts.
one thing though. you should look into MMA or Vale tudo as well as these are the truest expression of fighting skills and form a complete system, ie stand up, ground fighting and so on. this is something Karate lacks.
keep up the good work.

when i was a jw a was lucky enough to be in a hall with a "click" you know the type.
they all hung out together.
went to quickbuilds together and ensured that they were the ones with power in the hall.. i remember trying to join the quickbuild team as a 14 year old, only to be asked by the elder in charge of it (and allso in charge of the click), what building qualifications i had!.
you cruel cruel wannabe english teacher you!!!
im going to bed. youve made me cry.

they would all stand at the back of the hall and talk and if you dared to approach them you got made fun of or ignored. they groomed young guys for positions in the hall if they thought they would be "one of the boys". needless to say i never was.
i tried to be a good witness and talked to my classmates about the truth they just pretended they werent jws. funnily enough these sadass men have all stuck in bar one despite my knowing about their multiple infidelities and alcaholism.
did you have any similar peaple in your hall ?

as a jw i admit to "massaging" my hours nearly every month to keep up with the expected amount.. my brother never put in hir report for nearly 2 years.
i was amazed when i asked the secretary he told me "i allways put a few hours in if people forget" !!!
so my brother was a regular publisher despite not going out on service.. he was one man.

he was one man. if say only 2 percent of witnesses lied, (i reckon its more like 90 percent) and a tiny amount of elders lied anyway, then the jws figures are meaningless.
i am too lazy the do the math, but i imagine they are about 30 percent overblown at least.
any thoughts ?

i would willingly give my life to save my child.
i'm sure that would be the same answer for most parents, but how about those people without kids?
interesting question
last year i was lucky enough to save a man in a house fire.
now i got an award and was in the paper, and that was nice.
the guy was a 60 alocoholic, who set his house on fire while he was in it. and the next day he was drunk in the gutter outside my house.
if i was asked today would i give my life for that kind of person, id say NO
but if it happened again id go in.
my answer is, youll risk your life to do many irrational things, in hindsight you might not.
