Good to know!
Do doctors have a note on file that you're a JW? I better tell mine that I changed my mind on that.
please be aware if you have just faded and were baptised , if you or your family have a major life or death accident the mongols from the hospital liason committe will always be there before you and will still try to take over the care for the family member.
why does this happen, you need to delete the master records of all family members and they are now not jw any more, if you don't they will still be called and you will have a fight on your hands to get them to leave.
contact your doctor / gp or hospital and get this sorted out.

if you were even born into a religion, would you feel that you had to get out?
( the only religion that i know of where people get out and often never go to any other religion is the jw religion)..
I'd be a Unitarian Universalist too.
although i know it is not the place to advertise, i just wanted to inform you guys that i am starting a new blog.
i will be updating it at least weekly.
it will be an analysis of older wt publications.. as you'll see in my first post, my intention isn't to "bash" the watchtower, but only to give a critical eye to what was said (good and bad) and how it contributed to the jw culture that we see today.. if anyone is interested, check it out.
Looks great! Can't wait to read more.

Hopefully some on here can help you out with some links soon.
I was interested in this as well and read books on early Chrisitianity and church history and I couldn't find any info on a "governing body" or anything like that.
humans are unique.
each one is unique in his/her own regard.
like your thumbprint, your life is unlike any life in existence.. .
I understood how stupid this was when I read Carolyn Jessop's book. She grew up FLDS, and they didn't celebrate birthdays because it robbed the glory of the father in that household. I couldn't understand why a father would be jealous of his own child...and then I thought why on earth would God care or be jealous of us?
for me, i would go back to the day when charles taze russell snuffed it.
i'd wait for judge rutherford to turn up at the ibsa headquarters, then run him over with a steamroller, in true buster keaton styleee!.
.
I would go back to the 60s and listen to awesome music, be a hippie, and then come back home in time for dinner...or maybe stay in the 60s and be a flower child forever.
i am.. the jehovah's witnesses religion sucks.. that's all i have to say..
YES! Growing up, I always had this panicky feeling that something wasn't right, or that something was missing. After I stopped going to the meetings, I felt like a normal person. I could finally live an authentic life.
we all talk about the negatives about the ugly face of the watchtower that i thought i would start a 'happy' thread.. what are some of your favorite non-wt quotes?.
here's a good one to start:.
you cannot be, i know, nor do i wish to see you, an inactive spectator.
"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” ~ Maria Robinson
"Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker. " - Ogden Nash
mine is 10/23.
i used to use that day to ponder the state of my jw spirituality, make goals, feel guilty, etc.
this is my first exjw baptism anniversary.. does anyone have any fun suggestions to commemorate an un-baptism?.
I forgot about that date right after I got baptized! It means nothing to me, especially now, so I don't do anything special. I could watch a creepy video of me getting baptized that someone gave me, but that may bring back horrible memories.
Maybe you could buy some Halloween candy or a costume just for fun? I love looking at all the costume stuff at the stores.
