Was I too harsh?
by chrisuk inhello, first let me apologixe for both my spelling and my grammer in advance, both are not my strong points.. i'll keep this short.
since i've been a child my mother has studied on and off with jw's ( i'm now 34) so i've been around it most of my life, i studied on and off myself for around 10 years.
thank's to this site and jwfacts i'll never study or step foot inside a kingdom hall again.

Good letter to the pushy elder. Now how is he supposed to get rid of all those magazines. He was counting the time and the placement on his monthly time slip. Now he will have to find someone else to foist those raggie magazines on.

Hello and my exit story from WTS
by free2Bme13 ini thought it was fitting for me to share my freedom from the witnesses story on independence day weekend.. i dont have any secret info, just experiences that happened to me and started to open my eyes.. i was a third generation, raised in the truth kid who was never supposed to be born, and then never supposed to graduate high school.
ive now been out of high school longer than i was in school.. the beginning of the end started a little less than a decade ago.
i was late 20s at the time.

I always noticed how the pioneers were always stressed out. I wondered what the motivation really was. I think to some they do it because they feel they are expected to pioneer, they really don't want to.
Welcome and your first post was great. My daughter is in her mid thirties and it sounds like you are about her age.
I do hope you didn't sacrifice having children for the org. Like so, so many did.

Smoking Gun?
by Crazyguy ini was unable to insert the pic from the april 15,2013 pg 29 but leaving jesus christ out of the illustration on page 29 is no problem for the governing body as they have now substituted themselves for christ.
the following quotations substantiate this:-.
''the faithful slave is the channel through which jesus is feeding his true followers at this time of the end.

Wow, it certainly looks like they have jumped the shark with these statements. Someone one this forum who does those great professional looking videos (hello Ray Publisher) should do a YouTube video on theses blasphemous quotes.

I do not think you said anything wrong, of course I am a rabid apostate. Let her go off and live happily ever after in her beloved cult.

I'm on the Stage Const. Crew - Here at the Arena right now!!!
by tresdecu inafter lunch i will be the guy nail gunning the plywood letters to the top part of the stage.
so when i get to the word truth, i am going to mutter "bullshit, bullshit, bullshit....etc" the whole time i'm nailing the letters, obviously very quietly to myself.
;-) that way when i am listening to the bs tomorrow, i can smile to myself knowing the letters have been properly christened!

The daughter is probably being pressure d from the folks back home to attend the meetings while away. If she misses, she will have to face their scrutiny when she returns. You know there is absolutely no excuse for missing a meeting as long as there is still warmth in the body. My uncle was in a coma and his family hooked him up with headphones connected to the meeting up until the day he died. I am sure the congregation counted him as in attendance.

Welcome Viva. I admire your desire to help others exit the cult, but be careful because it is the ones you love who will hurt you the most
