I have found more loving and caring people on JWN than I ever found in all my fifty plus years at the Kingdom Hall. At the KH the love is conditional on following all the many, many rules set out from the pages of the Watchtower.

Brother Mike, dear, you are on a web site that is not approved by the Watchtower Society. If you tell your elders and fellow congregation members you were here you will be called into the libraryright after the meeting!

It will be three years for me. At first, I felt like I should go back and rework all the territory and apologize to those who I called on as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. I helped them spread lies for over fifty years.That is, of course, impractical. Now, I just make it a practice to inform as many people as I canabout the truth about Jehovah's Witnesses.
Glad you are free and loving it. So am I!

The elders came by and my DA letter
by Crazyguy inthe lead elder co of my hall said he was going to push for a jc meeting.
i could tell all along all hes interested in is protecting his god the org.. so i'm 90% sure now of going on the offesive and first having a family meeting telling them i'm offically quitting and how its going to play out and how i'll will be shunned even though i have commited no sin.
i also may explain a little of why and how i came to this decision with out bashing the org to much out of respect for my wife.

Your letter and sentiments meet with my approval, even though personally, I would never give a judicial committee the honor and dignity of my time and attention. They have no authority over me and cannot require me to do anything.

New Handbill Campaign
by NoRegrets inapparently the jws are doing a new handbill campaign.
they were just at my door and offered it to me with one of their heartless and scripted presentations.
the religion has just become so dumbed down.

No one gave me one. I live in a complex that says no soliciting on the door. I guess Jehovah will rightfully have to destroy all who live in such residences.

Interview with an Apostate: Simon
by Simon ini had an idea for coming up with a standard(ish) set of interview questions which members of the ex-jw community could use to provide insights into their lives as a kind of series (yeah, i was thinking of "interview with a vampire", lol).. anyway, this is the result to show the sort of thing i'm thinking of (applied to myself) and i'd like feedback on the format and the questions as well as who you'd also like to see "interviewed".. feel free to provide your own life story as a separate topic or ask any additional questions that i've missed.
it's not meant to be rigid so questions / themes can be adapted as needed and split / joined as appropriate.
the common questions will hopefully apply to everyone for some consistency and to guide the writing process with additional questions asked that make sense to each subject.. well, here goes .... tell us a little about yourself and your family.. im an independent software developer who grew up in manchester (uk) but now lives in calgary (canada) with my wife angharad and two boys, liam and dylan.

Letter I wrote to the person the caused me to be disfellowshipped
by jwfacts ina thread on another forum reminded me of a letter i wrote to the person that went to the elders and started the proceedings to have me disfellowshipped.
i stopped believing in the religion when i was 25 but continued going for about ten years.
i finally started to fade at 35, but about 6 months after i had stopped going to meetings, a person wrote a letter to the elders about my website, which at the time was anonymous.

Great letter and not only have you helped thousands leave, but you have helped them leave happily, assured that the Watchtower is NOT God's Visable Earthly Organisation!
Job well done, thanks again for helping all us truth seekers.
