l guess we all have our own reasons and thought it would give insight to others considering going to reconsider and not go.
We all have similar reasons wow.
Not wanting to be part of the numbers is important, and to me that they are a cult that hurts people that is misleading 8.2 million. But as another mentioned my reason is that those peodophile lovin fuckers can kiss my ass before I'll ever set foot in again. Then they need to beg my forgiveness for asking me to break the law.
this is a legitimate question.
did any of us ever find real joy in being at the meetings?
did any of us ever finish a meeting and think "i feel so enriched"?
I loved giving talks but hated how restricted the wt was on passion and keeping an audience engaged. I must have been counciled hundreds of times to focus on the material rather than the audience.
Watchtower study was a death sentence. Worst meeting part ever. Clear brainwashing part that I never ever could like
the arc are indeed a patient lot who don't pressure.
they make sure a person feels safe.
they don't hold back with legal information either.
well it finally happened!
we have been waiting about a year for this, my dfd husbands family asked us for money.
even though his own father hasn't met our 8 month old son.
Since my family and I have faded we had a similar request. There is no winning in these types of requests, its all about minimizing the impact on you and your family.
I gave some money, in the form of grocery cards, but I made damn sure that every member of the family knew I did it. Then added that is what true love shows, and I'm Jesus would have done the same.
It pissed them all off good. I laughed, figured it was cheap thrills for $100.
heres hoping.
i have a 2005 yamaha r6, with extras.
i am looking to purchase a 2008 (design is beautiful and low miles compared to mine.
i have seen a lot of new posters intro stories on here, also updates from those who have been around for a while.
i just want to take 1 post to beg those reading to speak up.
it was a big turning point for me and one of the best decisions i made.
when you found out all the sins of fellow witnesses did it effect how you treated them?
it was shocking when i found out the range of bs these people did to each other.
i don't mean sexual abuse, i mean fraud, theft, infidelity and more.

let's set aside our differences for the moment and appreciate this excellent documentary cedars put together that should prove to be an invaluable tool in helping to expose the child abuse issues in the organization.. i was humbled to be able to help with this project on such an important subject, though my part in it was insignificant..
Wow, what a great video. Brought me to tears several times, and made me more firm in my resovle to never ever even entertain going back.
The video reminded me the efforts of Bill, and Barbra and helped me appreciate what they started, so thank you to you both. Your courage was and is amazing.
Best Cedars video yet, I still have goosebumps.
Thank you to all who took part. Thank you.
those of you fading- with the memorial approaching are you going to appease family?
not going and making up an excuse?
acting like your going but not really?.
