I gave up my independence, education (went to school eventually, but would be in a better postion financially), money, gas, time, shunned some folks, and some work in order to devote my efforts to the WTBS. I will never, ever, ever, ever, EVER do it again.

We Give/Gave Up So Much Over This Thing
by OnTheWayOut ini think of a reporter that breaks a huge story about some corruption in the government who won't reveal his source of information.
the government uses anti-terrorist laws against that reporter to try to force him to speak.
the laws are designed to protect the people and are used in a warped way to protect the government and allow it to hide it's corruption.

State your "epiphany moment " for leaving the WT
by caliber ini have found some powerful reinforcements when people have stated their " epiphany moment "... please share some.. my turning pointing began when i was badly hurt by a person i had always viewed as a literal brother.
i realized that if his.
love was conditional.... if it was the case with him , then how about those i had less affection for and trust in ?.

I began to see things more clearly when I started doing research about the history of the WTBS and CTR. I saw no love anymore between those in my hall. I got tired of certain elders thinking that what they said was law and no one was to question it. I learned that my "super fine" asshole of a brother-in-law cheat on my sister. The last thing was the generation issue and it was the same "reheated food" that I have heard for years. For the first time in my life, I am living my life and I don't give a shit what they think!

It has taken me a while to get this spell and I ain't never going back. I had a chat with my cousin today and she tried preaching me back to "Jehovah God". She said that Jehovah still loved me and I needed to go back to the meetings because "we are in the last days" and that because of the recent earthquake and trouble in the Middle East, that should be the incentive that I need to reactivate myself. I told her that I'm no longer accountable to the WTBS because I am an adult and whatever I choose to do, is my choice. She said that she will "pray for me". Yada, yada, yada.

Being Turned In By Family

Please bear with me because I know that it happens to many people on the board. Can you ever get over being turned in by your husband or wife? How did you handle it? What is your relationship status afterwards?

My Motives For Denouncing Homophobia and Bigotry
by PublishingCult ini just want to be clear on this.
some have attributed my motives for denouncing homophobia and bigotry to my being gay.
some have come to the conclusion that i must be gay for shouting down the homophobes and bigots on this board.

Be who you are. Cuz I sure am. I don't have a problem with anyone's sexuality. Bigotry, is one that will ruffle my feathers because I'm a minority. There is too much hate in the world as it is. Don't ruffle my feathers and I won't ruffle your's.

PublishingCult,
You have a great looking kitty. It seems that our cats like to monitor our lives, even in the bathroom. I never knew that there were so many kitty bathroom monitors. Tough job. But somebody's gotta do it!

I was Dubsnubbed this past week.
by I quit! injust this past week i went to see a jbub relative that was in the hospital.
there was an elder there from her hall.
he was probably there for support but also to make sure no blood was used.

I have been Dubsnubbed while I was still attending the meetings in my hall. I didn't give a flying F*** about them. They couldn't run a lot of BS my way, so they kept their distance. They could not use me for transportation to the meetings, replacing a sister who did not show up for her talk, donate money to take the "speaker" out for a meal, or never providing any meals for "goodie night". I stopped going to the meetings on a regular basis. I had a "concerned" elder to call me to ask where I had been and I told him "non of ya business" and did not owe him an explanation because I was a "grown assed woman". So, being "Dubsnubbed" worked to my advantage and I now live life on my own terms.
Why do the elders think that you are children and you are to "obey" them (where is your fs time, meeting attendance, commenting, sex, marriage, job, entertainment, etc.)?

I really tried to be honest with reporting my time. I would count it from the time we left from the field service arrangement until just before lunch. I was just keeping up appearances (would meet in the territory to show my face and then leave for a fake study I had). When they let us count time in increments of 15 minutes, I fudged a little on my field service for time. Yeah, there was this elder who hounded people for their time each month and I had to set him straight on demanding my time from me. A bunch of control freaks. They got my time when I was good and ready to give it to them!
