As we know the lifeblood of this organization is money. Fewer and fewer of each successive generation in developed countries will be suckered into being fleeced. Our children & their children will leave; this is inevitable. It would be nice to live long enough to watch it die a slow death.

Serious business
by brandnew inthis my friends will help in a long struggle that me and my girlfriend are having.........does the toilet paper unravel over or under.
thank you for your cooperation on this timely matter...

It seems the majority of apostates approve of toilet paper being over instead of under. Expect the WBTS to now firmly stand against this Satanic practice. This, surely, will be accompanied by numerous vague historical & biblical references along with video for the deaf showing both correct paper placement & ass wiping technique. -

TO THE STUPID ATHEISTS:
by atheist_R_stupid inbeing that this is not "ex jws" and in fact, more driven by atheists talking a bunch of crap, im not even going to address you people like you know anything about jws because you dont.
nor am i going to assume you know the bible because none of you do.. and yes, im speaking down at you all because you men have actually went out your way to make a site to speak down at an entire group of people.
yet i bet you cant even handle a single uswer talking down at you, like you talk down about jws can you?.

notsure;
I loved the black guy who told us he was Jesus. By the way, loved seeing what everyone on the planet is eating. Had pizza last night with anchovies. No one else in the house will even sit next to me. DOES THAT CONSTITUTE HATE FOOD? CAN'T WE ALL JUST EAT WHATEVER WE WANT TO? DIDN'T GOD CREATE ALL FOOD TO BE CONSUMED BY US? AREN'T NUTS JUST AS NUTRICIOUS er NUTRISUOUS er HEALTHY AS THE REST OF THE FOOD GROUPS? Sorry for the rant. I'll just go back to work now......

What makes our community strong is the diversity of beliefs. All of us here believe in things that others disagree with. An old friend once told me " we can disagree without being disagreeable." Or we can shun each other. Wait...I think I left an organization just like that......... -

Separated from a loveless Marriage
by PLAYGROUND ini don't know where to start.

I married in 1975 during the "scare". I married more for self preservation than for love, but I figured "Paradise" was just a around the corner & I would learn to love my wife. That, unfortunately, never happened. We did have good times & bad. Raised two girls. As we got older, we just went through the motions. I found the love of my life after 34 yrs. with the first wife. I divorced, knowing I would be disfellowshipped. I just wanted to be happy. I assumed eventually I would be reinstated, but found TTATT while out & never went back. You have those options. Don't waste 34 yrs. of your life. I have never been happier. I've said it before & I'll keep on saying it "Live Well....Enjoy Life". -

Ahh the good old days. As kids we would run wild during the 15 minute intermission on Sundays. We would stare blankly at the huge status board we & every other hall had with a running tally of pubs, hrs. etc. etc. Conventions were absolute torture; going on for days. I was old enough to pass on the 1958 international convention at Yankee Stadium. My 6 yr. old brother went instead. Now I honk the horn as I drive by on Saturday & Sunday mornings. -

Personal reflections
by Freeof1914 inhello all and happy new year!.
i don't post here often,but as the new year just started and my birthday is tomorrow, i am feeling extra reflective.
it has been several years since i was willingly disfellowshipped, and i say willingly because when the judicial committee asked me my thoughts on the organization i told them i thought it was not a god directed organization.

Hi FO1914;
First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!. I know how you feel. After 50 yrs. in & 34 yrs. in an unhappy marriage, I divorced to marry the love of my life. Got DF'd of course & was planning to return. Happily the committee decided to make an example of me & dragged their feet on my reinstatement. After 3 yrs. I got fed up & started my research leading me out for good. I know many here are just starting the journey out & yes, it's painful. We all will have different experiences leaving. I hope all have at least some measure of contentment. As for me, it's now been 8 yrs. out. I enjoy Christmas, birthdays, riding a Harley, getting tattoos, my loving wife, my one daughter out & my grandkids, drinking to excess on special occasions. ( Recently mooned a 1,000 people) Live Well...Enjoy Life !!!!
