My sister almost died.
by redvip2000 inever since i was a little boy i've been aware of this vague story about my older sister having some issues at birth, but never knew the details.. yesterday i was having a conversation with a much older cousin, who is a non-practicing jw about different watchtower issues.
while discussing the blood issue she totally came out with the story about my sister, which i never knew before.. when my sister was born some 40 years ago, my mother had the delivery at home with the help of a midwife.
i'm not entirely sure why this decision was made instead of going to a hospital.

This doesn't surprise me. I know a couple who kidnapped their newborn baby out of the hospital, as the judge was going to issue a court order. They took the baby to another doctor and it died. They didn't get into trouble over it which is surprising. This was about forty years ago.

Complex PTSD and Ex JW's
by JRK ini have been diagnosed with complex ptsd by my therapist due to events of abandonment and abuse as a child.
the cult experience of being raised as one of jehovah's witness was a major factor.
i think that the sparlock video and the conti case has brought emotional flashbacks to some of us here, so i wanted to post information that i have found helpful.

4 sincere questions for those that believe there is a God
by S EIGHT ingreetings.. allow me to set the questions up.. after 30 years in the truth (i'm now late 40's) and having established the truth about the truth i consider myself agnostic going on atheist.. i struggle to believe there is a god when i observe life yet i try to convince myself there must be something out there.. here's the basis of my question: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-23583116 .
in summary, 2 young boys have been killed by a snake that escaped from a pet store in canada.
it made it's way up through the ventilation into the apartment they were staying in.

I saw today on a website someone said why would god care about all the abortions that go on in the world when he has killed so many innocent babies himself. He is not there folks.

Board of bitterness
by 1009 ini always was a critical jw, now df and agnost.
but still this religion fascinates me.
in my eyes most jw are very sincere, but dumb sheep.. this board is filled with ex-jw.

You bet I am bitter. I was raised in his crazy cult and didn't find out it was a shame untill I was 57. Every decision I made in my whole life was based on a false premise that Armageddon was coming at any minute. I was devout. Now it is too late. Not only that, I raised my only child in the cult and she is now raising my grandson in it. I can't get them out! At any moment they can decide to shun me as I have told her I think it is BS.
Yes, I hate the Watchtower Society.

Good idea to make a list and set goals for yourself.
Hope you got out in time to enjoy the life you have left.

Long serving pioneer no longer has hours quota to stay on the list...
by NVR2L8 ina family member visited us this past weekend and said that my 80 years old mother was recently told she no longer has to meet the annual hour quota to remain on the pioneer list.
"what a loving provision from the brothers" were my sister's exact words.
"mom was so stressed out with having to get her hours in every month" are you freaking kidding me?

Yes, this works out for them as they can still boast about the number of pioneers they have without making the older tried and true put in the hours. It's all about the boasting (in Jehovah, of course).

Does the information on this website look familiar?
by okage into those who mine jw.org for their pdfs, this weblink may look a little familiar:.
http://illustrationstoencourage.wordpress.com/2013/07/01/the-truth-about-halloween/.
i can't recall the official statement from the wts regarding jws making jw sites (jwfacts may have a good knowledge of it), but i was under the impression their official stance was "don't.".

Pretty weird, I'd say. Someone just wanted to learn to do a web site and decided to count their time.
