  Welcome to JWN. We have all been where you are now. Use the search feature on the upper left side of the JWN screen and search on different topics. Go to www.jwfacts.com and spend the day there.

  Ponce you are convinced the JWs are NOT the true religion, go to YOUTUBE and type on atheist humor. Spend a delightful afternoon watching as many videos as you can. Julia Sweeny has a great one too. Problems and questions are all solved (for me at least)! It wasn't easy giving up God, but it solves the mystery of why god's ways are so mysterious...he doesn't exist!

  Just quit quietly - the law is on your side!

  freedon of religion guarantees any individual the legal right to abandon any religion at any time for any reason.. if you are a citizen of a country which champions human rights, then your government doesn t care what religion you join, but they will uphold your freedom to join it, without interference, coercion or persecution.

  your countries human rights legislation will conversely uphold your rights when it comes time to abandon any religion you so choose.

  those (elders) who incite others interfere, coerce or persecute those who have left will be in transgression of the human rights statutes.. a person is only obligated to ecclesiastic law if he exposes himself to it or transgressed it while still a member of a religious community.. when your time comes to abandon the jw-wt cult, do it while still in good standing, be proactive - be decisive -put it in writing!..and do it before the hounders set sights on you.. write a card or letter with as much or as little explanation as you one day might wish to share with pharisees and lawyers.. take this card to a notary public to have your signature witnessed and have the writing overstamped in several places with the date.

  Ajax, your way sounds like a nice way to give yourself some closure without making too much of a brew hah about it.

  How to capitalise on recent unwise appointment with my wife.

  by disposable hero of hypocrisy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a brother was appointed recently in the cong, he's got a dodgy history, doesn't really have the respect of many in the cong.

  it's surprising to me, but i don't really care, good for him.

  my wife, on the other hand, is angry!

  I would say that you know of much worse men who were appointed than this guy...then act like the details are too horrible to tell her and that you could get in trouble for telling her...sneaky.

  If pressed, just tell her about some of the stories you've read here and say you can't mention names or it would be gossiping.

  just learned today direct from my beloved daughter that she has been abused between 5 and 12 years old by 2 brothers (her own cousins) and 1 family "friend".

  she has attempted suicide a few days ago.

  luckily she is living and she is not physically injured.

  So sorry for the horrifying situation. We need to find a way of thoroughly exposing the Watchtower Society to the world for the hellhole it really is.

  I hope your girl winot find a way to heal.

  Finally Gave My First Anti-Witness After 11 Years

  hello one and all.. the local jws had a booth set up at my university today and something just came over me.

  i went to a computer, found a list of failed prophecies, printed and stapled it, and walked over to the middle aged woman and the 10-ish years old girl.

  the woman said "if you are interested in anything, take it for free.

  it used to bother me that people would say that about my well meaning religion.

  how do you prove that witnesses are indeed, false prophets?.

  Did not Anthony Morris III, current governing body member state in the US Branch/Zone meeting just this month, that if you have a problem with anything he says you should take it up with God???

  i've been a lurker for quite some time and enjoy the forum.

  i've reached a point in life where i don't argue ideologies anymore so i don't have much to say.

  i've been out for decades and believe i've been mostly de-cultabilized (if that's even a word).. my family is still in and i haven't had contact with them in years.
