i have recently joined the site.
i was just appointed an elder this summer.
i started discovering the ttatt (the truth about the truth) last year after putting a few things together myself concerning the leadership and then doing some research online.. i really enjoyed jwfacts.com, jwsurvey, and others.
Welcome aboard, TTATTelder!
Crisis of Conscience was the book that helped me to see the light. Now, that's what I call New Light!
After reading CoC I no longer saw the organization as led by Jehovah's Spirit. It became reduced to another man-made publishing company. Only this one had free marketers --- publishers --- raking in the cash and giving it all to the organization. What a racket!
I've been out since 2000 and life has improved greatly!

What I see here is copyright infringement.
It's illegal.
once in a while, usually in the morning shortly after waking up, i find my "body" lifting up from my physical body, but i remain attached at the head.
it's a very pleasant experience but i wish i could totally separate from the physical body so i could go exploring.
this happened this morning again.. .
Yes, when my dad used to beat me as a child.
this new couple moved in a couple weeks ago.
special/regular pioneers, he's an elder from bethel.
i think he might have been a co at one time.
That happened in my congregation when I was a kid still living at home. I write about it in my book. What a can of worms they opened!
the word out of bethel is of a mass purge the likes of the 1980's.. there's also possible public reproofs handed out for irregular ones.. .
the scriptures they are using to support this:.
the very ones keeping away from you will perish.
good exercise in teaching the masses to fear!

Leaving left my religion

about me, i am being raised in a jw family.
all of my family expect for one aunt, who had left but not disfellowedshiped thankly, are in jw.
my father is an elder and so is my grandfather.
The term "compassionate" is just brainwash. The jws believe they are "loving" also...More brainwash.
Welcome AndySmiles!

if anyone has any unwanted jw books or brochures let me know.
not really in a position to buy them from you but i could cover postage maybe?
my jw friend says she'll get me copies of things but never does.. apologies if here was the wrong forum place for this post.. .
Thanks for the book and the loving follow-up, Mouthy!
You are awesome! *hugs back*

my friend gave me a book she had, called "facing codependence" by pia mellody.
it's not a new book but sounded interesting, so i started reading it this morning.
after 20 pages, i put the book down & started bawling.
Great video, Blondie. Thanks for sharing!
Letting go of the shame (unfairly put upon us as children) is truly a necessary step.
