hey everybody, been here lurking for years now... i tired of all the gb 2.0 shit and need to fade successfullydo we have a guide, i am very tempted to go out with a bang, but i want my wife with me, she aint a strong witness and would happily trust me ... i love her a lot.
status as of now,,, read coc isocf, been through jw facts and am convinced this religion is bs, also a ms now :( damn.
Cognitivedizzy ...first of all a big welcome to you & we hope soon...your wife! Really wonderful to hear of the love you have for each other. This relationship is your pivotal point. Absolutely move out from that perspective. Do whatever is good to take care of this. Do not let anyone rush you. Make smart deliberate steps. Keep it simple & don't apologize to anyone.
Wish you great success. Smell the roses & feel the fresh air of freedom!

found these gems in this edition:.
- keep in expectation!- prepare now for life in the new worldthe passing of time should not cause us to lose hope thatkingdom blessings will be realized.
there are solid reasonsto keep our scriptural expectations alive.
I sure would like a dime for every time I heard this since 1960!
"To gain God’s favor, what must we do?
19 As worshippers of Jehovah, we need to imitate Noah and his family and obedient first-century Christians. We must keep separate from the wicked system of things around us and seek upbuilding associates among the millions of our faithful brothers and sisters. Sticking with those who are guided by God-given wisdom will help us to “stand firm in the faith” during these very difficult times. (1 Cor. 16:13; Prov. 13:20) And just think of our wonderful prospects! If we watch our associations in these last days, we may personally live right through the end of this evil system and into Jehovah’s righteous new world now so near at hand "
did you watch the story about the jw who was working as a burger boy at some diner and his boss wanted him to work on sunday during the time of his meeting?
this faithful jw decided he could not attend a later meeting (6 pm sunday meeting) and soon quit his job(or got fired to attend his sunday meeting) so he could attend the sunday meeting he was assigned to.
i think he was on welfare because this story states he won't work on sunday morning because that's when his meeting is!
someone may have linked to this already, but the this interactive page in the pew religion study is pretty interesting, especially when you look at the trends for jw between 2007 and 2014. here's what it shows:.
jws are increasingly non-white.
in fact, the percentage of white jws has decreased from 2007 to 2014 by 12%, while hispanic jws have increased by 8%.
LOVE this! Hahahh this is biting them in the ass! GB going to sitting there with egg on their faces big time. Think about all those female witlesses ........no hubbies ....no sex! Mostly old men available now ....haha no babies either! Used to be if a sister was over 30 she very well could be sitting on the shelf for the rest of her life. GB have no answers to that. Just wait till the new world, all the little boys will grow up and you will get younger and shazzamm......... a hubbie for you too....aaww! What a fricken crazy cult. All those poor young sisters today better start working toward a career, because there are only a handful of old men or nerds to pick from today!!!!

sometimes holidays can be hard on us.
some of us deserve a little toast today.. a toast to all the brave kids who broke up with their toxic moms.
Here is to you all .....all the motherless ones!
I am so very blue today also ....... a daughterless mother. You see wt took her & won't let her go. She chooses wt over her own mother!

when i started my fade i called my father to talk to him about some stuff that was bothering me.
i got absolutely nowhere.
he read matthew 24:45-47. i finally asked him that if the governing body asked him to jump off of a bridge would he do it.
"Anyway damn the GB and their lies! "
My feelings exactly SoCal.
My daughter attacks me instead of addressing whatever I say! Drives me nuts .....so I understand what you are saying FloodGuy. I just can't be credible in her eyes, every word I say is translated into a negative in her mind! The stronger her shunning becomes the sadder & more depressed I become! How dare those ugly cult leaders take my own child away!!!!! Did they give birth to her? Did they raise her, go thru chicken pox, influenza and measles with her, or stay up all nite at the hospital with her! Oh I am so indignant over this I could go on forever!
Sorry about your father Butyoucanneverleave!
the witnesses seem to love to make things a "conscience matter" and then just shame people into doing whatever it is they want them to do anyway.
so, why haven't they done this with the holidays?
there are plenty of scriptures in their own bible they could use to justify making it a conscience matter, yet the last i knew, celebrating christmas was still a disfellowshipping offense.
The whole point for Rutherfords condemnation of any holiday, is control! To keep the rank& file from associating with non jw family. Celebrating xmas or thanksgiving dinner with our 'folks' would be too enjoyable ...we might choose family over watchtower. Our family would eventually wake us up!
this is a great clip!.
funny and thought provoking...... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z1ziwuiq2yk.

Oh ya ........such a sweet loving daddy!
Thanks for the reality!
i'm in dire need of assitance, and i have decided to humbly come here.... first, let me reintroduce myself.
my name is kolabomi, a nigerian and a proud one too.
i am a graduate student in one of my country's leading university.
"know it's not much, but I can offer you a hug, and some positive thoughts that your situation changes for the better very soon."
ohiocowboy.........just to say in my 5 yrs on here, you have always come through with an upbuilding & encouraging response to everybody. You have the biggest heart filled with kindness. Reading your words make me feel proud to associate with you on here ...even though this is a very limited association. After the grief caused me by WT, just wanted to say thank you dear man for giving me back my faith in mankind.
sincerely clarity
