I had always attended the memorial where there were partakers. The first time I went where there was no-one who partook for me to observe was weird and felt silly and wrong.

Emblem stupidity, and the bizarre dance of the confused memorial-taker
by cedars inwell, i went along to the memorial with mrs cedars.
it was my first since my "awakening" just less than a year ago.
apparently i made a lot of people happy by being there (even if it was only building up false hopes), the most important of which were my family.

A very well written letter that may plant a seed of doubt to be watered later by another.
They all add up.
My exit was eventually caused by lots of little things like this that finally added up to one big thing which could no longer be pushed to the back of my mind. All those doubts came back as return vists and became an "aha" moment that could no longer be ignored.

I just asked the JW website for a home visit...
by TimeBandit ini just went and filled out the form asking to be visited.
i hope they come soon so i can work my super apostate magic!
uh, if the super apostate magic doesn't work, i'll just let my huge great danes out onto the porch and freak the witnesses out followed by kicking them off my front porch... .

The Great Flash Flood of Noah's Day
by sabastious inthink about all the people you have ever loved and spent time with.
think about the hard work you and your friends and family have put forth to create a life for yourselves.
think about your grandchildren, your fathers, your mothers and your siblings.

Do we know how far afield humans had spread prior to the flood or how many there were by this time to actually preach to?
How much time did Noah need to spend away from home travelling to far away territory to preach but still building his ark and still continuing to earn enough to feed his family?
Even if there were 8 people full time piosneering did they give a witness to everyone?

I had an elder tell me I should read scriptures from my bible because you can't get Holy Spirit through a computer.
I wonder if the HS has found a way of coming through the phone line now.

An Elder's honest opinion...saw this on another site...thoughts?
by MsGrowingGirl20 inby "shadow elder".
before i express my opinion to the readers and contributors to this website (www.ex-jw.com), i would like to explain who i am and to present my bona fides as someone qualified to comment on this website and jehovah's witnesses in general.. first of all, i am an active jehovah's witness living just outside of new york city.
being a large metropolis, new york has many kingdom halls located within the city and several more in surrounding boroughs, counties, and suburbs.

Thankyou MissingLink.
I have been after a copy of this with pics for ages as it was what we were studying at the last Book Study I ever went to.
I was still in Spain so only a handful of us had the revised version. Following along with an old copy made studying it all the more ridiculous and gave me one of my many "aha" moments which led to me leaving. Especially as at the time it seemed "wrong" and "disrepectful" etc., to question the changes. We might appear to be seen "weak" for doing so.
