Do you know of ANYONE who has "seen the light" simply because someone told them the WTS is full of crap?
Nope.
I think we are all here trying to figure out how to crack the JW shell. They are hard nuts to crack.

Read True Believer

Mad is good. It is one of phases we go through when we wake up to the Truth?

Family Pain
by MickeyP inmy 28 year old daughter has been with her partner for the past 7 years.
he has always been welcome in our home and has been a regular participant in our family celebrations.
yesterday, he was disgnosed with acute leukaemia and was told that without a blood transfusion, he would be dead in two weeks.

Yes, MickeyP, I'm sorry I missed this thread when it was originally posted. By now, without blood, your daughter's partner may have come to his demise.
I'm so sorry for the pain your daughter and family is going through.
There have been some really good thoughts given to you on this thread. Having been raised a JW and now seeing the high control the Watchtower has on its members, I know that no reason or logic is going to appeal to this man. I've found that only JWs that are questioning the "love" or doctrines of the Watchtower begin to understand how they have been lied to and held captive.
Please allow time for your daughter to grieve the life she had and the future they had planned together. Honesty is not taught to JWs, not in the sense that of being honest with one's feelings. They have to comply to Watchtower standards no matter how they feel, thus they get caught up in theocratic? warfare and deceive themselves and those they profess to love.
Be very weary of any JWs. But help those who are exiting and have pity on them.
Hugs to you and your family,
Joy

New To The Board
by exjdub ini just wanted to introduce myself and tell everyone that i have enjoyed many of the posts.
i wish that this resource was available 7 years ago when i walked away from the organization, it would have helped my transition a great deal.
i also wanted to say that it is enjoyable to come to a forum that is not on an angry rant about the organization on a constant basis.

Hello fellow ex-JW's
by 2good2bad ini'm new (duh) to this message board.
i usually frequent message boards of a more sinful type...lol...but i have been on a search for quite sometime to talk with people who understand where i'm coming from when i talk about the religion i grew up in.
i get tired of getting that deer in the headlight look or the infamous "for real you sold bibles door to door and woke people up in the morning?

I would like to see this story documented in the OB/GYN medical journals. (The Green or Gray Journals).
Having assisted on many C/Sections, this is not a simple procedure and cannot be sewn up with cotton thread by a nurse! There are too many vital organs that can be damaged if one doesn't know live anatomy. Bladder, bowel, etc.
