the wtbts has an easy time painting x-witnesses as apostates because the direction of information is entirely one way.
and jws rarely get an opportunity to consider both sides of the equation for themselves.
i think that websites like this one are a great tool for those who are already questioning their beliefs or are already entirely out.
I had business cards printed up and give them out and post them everywhere I go. They cost me about $43 and that is double sided with color logo and shipping. You can design your own on these websites that print business cards.
Mine have the blue logo I lifted off the jwfacts.com website. watchtowerdocuments.org, jwsurvey.com are listed along side jwfacts.com.
I also had this printed on the back:
Jehovah's Witnesses will be calling soon!
Don't let them fool you.
1 - still think it's the truth ...came to this site cause danger is your middle name.. 2 - concerned, smoething's amiss but still believe.
3 - 98% sure it's bs, but still go for / with family.
4 - anger / denial, inactive with minimal attendance (ie memorial, spec talk etc).
I am with Simon...I hate the Watchtower Society passionately and want to see it nuked from space also.
i've been drinking 1 tbs with a glass of water twice daily for digestion for about 3 weeks now.
i've found it helps, but it also acts as an appetite suppressant; i've lost several pounds since using it.
i'm consuming fewer calories because i'm just not as hungry as before.
I have recommended Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar to many friends who sufferdf rom GERD/ acid reflux and they have thanked me profusely.
i havent been going door to door saturday mornings for since i can't remember when.
i have been putting in regular reports to the congregation but the last time i actually went on a door was probably six months ago or so and it has been at least 2 years since i did a saturday morning.
9:30 we showed up to the group arrangement, we waited outside because we were not sure that it was the right place.
I always ended up in the third row of someone's mini van with about 8 other people. There would be so many return visits that were not at home, that is all you do is ride from one end of the territory to the other, with a long break at Dunkin Donuts.
i come here to learn, but i also come here because it feels like a private club and i'm privy to be a member of the "in" crowd.
it's a great place to socialize.
does anyone else feel that they are a member of a special "club" when they come here, that only some people in this world will understand the jw world?.
Leaving the organization was so, so traumatic for me. I want to just be here for others, going through the same thing.
I feel like I spent my whole life prostelitizing for JW, now I have to help undo the lies I told going door to door.
Worthy effort to make us smile, Bigmac!
i stayed home sick from work the other day and noticed a car group pull up to my neighbor's house.
she's a stay-at-home mom.
i decided it was time to retrieve something from my truck to see if i could recognize the visiting sisters.
Print out one of these excellent pamphlet from www.jwfacts.com and discreetly leave it for her to find.

My favorite one for her would be "Jehovah's Wintesses Will be Knocking on Your Door" because I have used it with good results in the past.
been lurking here for yyyyyeeeeears, but was too busy with school, jw life and other interests.
now that i'm done with education for the time being anyway, plus the jw life is under pretty good control, i can spend some time and throw my views here and there in some attractive topics.. born-in, and deeply indoctrinated, but with life experience came better comprehension of my lot in life and have come to accept that, just like the family one is born into, jws are my family, friends, my ultimate and overall identity.
a jw is what i am; like the song 'hotel california', and like so many on this board, check out anytime you'd like but one could never leave.. remember like it was yesterday the failed 'the wolf is coming' calls of 1975, mid-80s, late 90's, y2k, 2004 or so, and same will be with the latest effort to get people overly excited about 'the end'.
Nice to have you here.
i haven't really been on here in like, a year.
my stbx introduced me to this site and then a whole buch of life happened and i just sort of never had time for forums.
but here i am at 3am, another sleepless night, and i feel like i am simply lost.
Kick this bumb to the curb...the sooner the better.

i put that album together so you don't have to give www.jw.borg any more traffic .

This is all part of their new "trendy" JW.org persona.
