i almost posted this in the humor section, because honestly, i almost thought it was a joke.
my family and i were driving through a suburb of st. louis, missouri this afternoon on the way back to illinois and home.
i took a back road through a bedroom community and ended up on a 2 lane road that led me right past the last kingdom hall i attended in 2007 before i left for good.
I grew up in St Louis, but can't remember Black Jack (will google it) but isn't it near Ferguson???
late 50's my parents studied and went to the Kinloch KH (morphed into the Florissant cong). Kinlock was a small city in the St Louis suburbs with an all black government. Not heard of anywhere in the USA in the late 50's. Kinlock borders Ferguson,
sorry to high jack, but nothing surprises me about that cult. (Crazy)
i have just read the book crises of conscience in less than 3days!
i could not put it down!
even in front of my jw wife and her family.
Great read, huh!
I, like you, could not put it down. Put a bible cover over it and read it during a Sunday meeting. (much better than the talk and watchtower and no lightening came down to expose me) hehe
Watch how the house of cards fall down. But be careful, as others have warned here. Take it slow, if you mentally can, so you can reach your wife and other family members. (me, I wanted to quit touching the disgusting thing (WTBTS) immediately after reading COC, but husband at the time convinced me to take it slow. It helped get our grown children out, but nothing for the rest of the family. Everyone will respond differently.
Enjoy the rest of your life!

faith compiled by massarah mikati sunday, may 31, 2015 why more young women are leaving church.
"As far as I remember, woman weren't even allowed to hold microphones"
"Actually they are allowed to, but ONLY IF there are no brothers available"
I'm SHOCKED!!!! Sisters get to hold a phallic looking object??? (lol @ only when someone who has a phallic organ is not present) I bet they have to have a head covering on while doing so! (condom??)
ROTFMAO
its inevitable that at some point in time, people will look back and see that the exjw community was right about the watchtower organization and the bible..
i have some friends who are catholic, protestant, and some who dont associate with any religion but believe jesus will come in their lifetime.
we are such a small minority compared to christians that we are viewed as ignorant when it comes to religious matters.

i was raised a jehovah's witness, so i know all the "ins-and-outs" of their theology and belief system..
in my view, they can become a part of mainstream christianity and lose their cult status by making just a few changes for the better:.
1: stop their severe shunning practices.
Don't forget the "2 witness" rule.... report all child abuse to authorities, to be handled by trained professionals.
great video.
this is how we are viewed by outsiders.
there's no fooling some people!.
Wow! That was really awesome.
thanks for posting the video.....just wish all JWs would see it 👍👍👍

the pedophile activities and brainwashing that go on inside of this religion called jehovah's witnes....
yes, today is the forum's 15th birthday!.
i never thought for one moment that it would survive this long or have so many people post so many great subjects over the years.. it is still humbling when i get pm's or emails from people expressing how the site has helped them and of course thanks goes to all the posters who have shared their experiences and make helpful and supportive comments to others who are in the sometimes difficult process of learning the real truth about 'the truth'.. the site has gone through several different incarnations over the last 15 years running on different platforms, different databases and different hosts but we've been able to keep all the old topics.
the current site is still being developed and i'm hoping to push another major upgrade soon.. i also may have some other news to share soon about the future of the site so stay posted.. until then, here's the the next 15 years!
Thank you so much Simon and Angharad for all that you have done and continue to do for the ex-JW community! This board truly helped me deprogram and move on with my life.
. Many wonderful people have passed through here giving wonder experiences and especially hope of living without the mind control we didn't know we were under.
May your discussion board be here for many, many more years helping those yet to wake up.
love you guys and your family,
Joy Grant (fka joy2bfree) boy am I ever :-)
