i have plenty of tips on my older site on starting ministries or outreaches.
though today they are now generally sites for public assistance, not personal blogs or opinion or doctrinal sites.
free minds has covered doctrines, news, opinions, and more for 32 years (since 1996 online).

Strange how 'the story' is so familiar.

There are hundreds of thousands of ex jw's
but the same programming & the same
mind control has been perpetrated on us all,
which explains the carbon-copy, or sameness,
over & over again!

Watchtower, June 1, 1953, p. 350 par. 24).
24 In these closing days of wickedness Jehovah’s people must demonstrate holiness.
They must not foul their minds with the filthy mental food on the propaganda tables
of this old world, but must feed on the feast of fat things Jehovah provides. (Isa. 25:6;28:8)
Minds must be cleansed and made over, mental circuits formed by old-world thinking
and acting faded out and new ones put in according to new-world specifications.

what kind of god are you looking for?.
the one i want to hire has to fill these requirements:.
1. kind to a fault without being a namby-pampy hippy.
I nominate Joe Pesci...
"You know who I pray to? Joe Pesci. Joe Pesci. Two reasons; first of all, I think he's a good actor. Ok. To me, that counts. Second; he looks like a guy who can get things done. Joe Pesci doesn't fuck around. Doesn't fuck around. In fact, Joe Pesci came through on a couple of things that god was having trouble with. For years I asked god to do something about my noisy neighbor with the barking dog. Joe Pesci straightened that cock-sucker out with one visit. [George Carlin, from "You Are All Diseased".]

for 2 years, soon after my daughter's baptism, i have been exchanging many emails with an elder of her congregation.
good man, but he is a jw and he just drove me to the brink of madness recently; that was the drop the spill the water.
it's a cult.
All the best Felipe.

hi folks,.
i've been reading posts here off and on for years.
i decided to go ahead and join in with a post.
Hi and welcome DisArmed ... sounds like you will really
be a help to all the newbies who are just waking up!

yes, i threw my wt library out: my recycle bin was full.
even if i had imagined this experience to be similar to a prisoner getting rid of his chains, this was not so.. instead, it brought up all the memories i had shared with my family where we were excited about the release of the revelation book; the clear feeling of ultimate knowledge when we showed the live forever book, the questions i had practiced with my family in the organized book, my cousins who got baptized as well.
somehow, all i could think of was only the good memories i had shared with my family and almost cried about it.. and then, i started to think of the division, the hatred and the pain that became prevalent in my family as some were disfellowshipped and thus, ostracized.
Ecan6 ... part of the healing process... acceptance.
Our relationship with watchtower was compelling,
always on the edge of our seats.... so to speak.
Euphoria & jubilation at times and then dissapointment
& failure........ up & down .... Our future all neatly laid out
for us ....no need to think!
Takes awhile to give up fantasy for reality.
good for you!

i have come to the conclusion that posting here and visiting this site is not healthy for me anymore.
i just get angry and upset when i read all the stories of injustice and corruption that go on in the jehovahs witness religion.
they are true no doubt, as i have personally experienced many injustices and abuses in my life from being a witness.
Goodbye hoser ... I'll miss you.
of all of the watchtower's many publications dating now to all the way back to russell, which one publication is the most damning in showing they are a complete crachpot of a religion?
and i course, i mean which original publication before they changed a few words and reprinted!.
personally, i think it is probably russell's the divine plan of the ages.
we have a version with our commentary: http://youtu.be/yn17rj_pyd4.
we also have an un-cut, un-edited version of the audio: http://youtu.be/pihfucr38sw.

Newly ... love this!
