This is a cry for help. Hopefully she will get it and will be allowed to exit this cult she was forced into immediately.

To me it is the fact that up till 5 minutes ago, basically, they were wrong about their entire faithful and discreet slave interpretation. They have been teaching falsehood as true doctrine all this time...for almost a century. What a load of you know what!!! Obviously, they are making this religion up as they go. How knows what is next to be changed. I am out and never returning.

Jehovahs Witnesses do not teach a balanced view. They teach what the Watchtower Society believes, not what the Bible teaches. One is not allowed to read anything "secular" that is printed by non Watchtower source. You will find there is so much that they don't mention.
Take for example historical Jesus. Google "Jesus Never Existed" and get the shock of your life.
Read "The Atheist Book of Bible Stories." Another eye opener. You will learn things you will never read in the Watchtower and with proof to back everything up.

It is all about the numbers. The elders called a couple of times for my time and when I said I had none it was met with a few moments of silence. They made 2 brief telephone calls and said they heard I wasn't coming back and asked if it was something they did. I told them no. The calls were less than a minute each.
Yes, they really care. At least they aren't trying to df me!!!

The Elders want to meet with me ... (Judicial Meeting)
by Oubliette inthe elders want to meet with me.
at least that's what they keep telling me, and they've been saying it for more than a month and a half now.
just so you're clear: this is a judicial committee.

That shows how loving they really are, making this meeting such a low priority for themselves. They don't care what they ar putting you through, they only care about themselves. It is laughable to think they have God's spirit upon them.

I am 59 and am in very good health. I don't take any prescription medications and rarely take over the counter meds.
Try to eat good healthy whole foods. Limit refined foods, only occasional junk food. Don't let yourself go, don't smoke of course.
Keep active and keep up with pop culture and the latest in technology. Never stop learning and associate with younger people.
Oh yes, forget that you are getting old.

Julia gets hit with the Shun Gun for the first time...and it really hurts.
by Julia Orwell inmy jw friend of 20 years, the first one i ever met, the one who got me into jwism in the first place, unfriended me from facebook without explanation.
other jws who have unfriended me at least called me names (apostate) and told me they were unfriending me, but they were no loss.
but someone who's been your friend since you were 13...and no explanation...i'd think 20 years- 20 years!

Sorry, Julia, but those people only are your fake friends. I havent heard a peep from any of my jw friends who have known me for over 50 years, since childhood. They act like I never existed.

Faders????
by Crazyguy inok so i have been actively fading but my question to all you faders with family.
if one just fades doesn't it just look like to your kids that you have just become spiritually weak?
i mean aren't they my kids just going to ask their mother why i'm not going in time, and that will give her a chance to explain things the way she wants?

You understand that you won't be df'd for being spiritually weak, but you will for apostasy. Is it worth the risk? Everyone has to decide for themselves.
I am not a game player so I was honest about my beliefs. There have been some rocky times with my grown up daughter and her husband, but they have decided that as long as we don't discuss it we can still maintain contact. Things are a bit strained, but I am happy they are still letting me see them.
