  i was reading one of the magazines about 2 years ago, about what to know about social networking sites, the warnings and cautiousness.

  i am not so sure if they don't like the internet, these days almost everyone uses internet.

  i know many have accounts online.

  no mention of them being mentally diseased or using "lies" to deceive god's people, just that they are out to attract followers for themselves!.

  I think you should not be entering into marriage keeping secrets from your future husband. If you are having doubts, you should be addressing this. Honesty is important. You need to tell him. Better you disclose this before you marry than after.

  Your half brother has a right to know he has family. It should be his choice if he wants to get to know you better. Don't be influenced by your hard hearted elder brother.

  Welcome Daniel. Be true to yourself and love your family. We hope for the best in this situation. Hopefully, in time, she will wake up and see that you are right.

  Shocking talk from 2013 District Convention urges parents to shun disfellowshipped children

  Thank you so much for posting this. I am glad I am not forced to shun my loved ones any longer, now that i am out. I shunned my mother in law and father in law and they died before I found out ttatt. They were disfellowshipped for smoking in the early 70's. My husband and I only let them see our daughter once a year for a couple of hours. This went on for twenty years. I feel deep regret for my ignorance, there is nothing I can do now. People wonder why I hate the Watchtower Society, this is just one of the many reasons why.

  Show me something better

  terry started a really good thread a little while ago.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/258731/1/where-did-pastor-russell-get-his-truth.

  it reminded me of what the jw who studied with me and brought me into the truth said.. she said show me something better.

  she qualified this by saying show me another religion that teaches the basics.. i changed subject but i suppose basics are.

  Atheism is much better, in my humble opinion than beging a JW. I am stress free.

  Are you thankful to know TTAT or not?

  by laverite in

  i am so thankful that i was able to learn the truth about the truthtm (ttatt).

  i owe everything in my life to having left watchtower corp: my education, my position as a college professor, being able to write and publish, travel, family life, my beautiful children, being able to be openly gay -- and happy.

  unlike those closeted homosexuals in the truthtm, i do not have to be afraid to be who i am.

  Yes, after getting over the initial feeling of shock and betrayal, I am happier than ever after learning the truth about the truth.
