Greetings from Candace Conti
by AndersonsInfo incandace asked me to tell you thank you for all your kind expressions of support.
this really means a lot to her.
she wants you to know that she is coping well with all the stress and excitement, even though she's had years of anger and frustration because of being abused for so long, first by the molester, and then by the wt.

I just found some more hyprosiy in one of their magazines, the May 1st 2012 Watchtower on page 16 under the subheading Is All Religion Good? Towards the end of the first paragraph-
"Today, according to news reports, some religious leaders have encouraged terrosim or supported war, or they have been involved in child abuse."

My roommate saw firsthand how bad this cult is, I called my dad on Christmas and asked if I could come over and visit, I had my speaker phone turned on so my roommate could hear it, my dad told me over the phone because I am considered apostate I am not allowed anywhere near their house after that my dad hung up the phone without saying goodbye, my roommate was taken back by all that.

This was indirectly said to me, I going in Field Circus when I used to be in the "Borg" one of the sisters in the car group said that if a person doesn't pioneer then they are unsuitible for marriage and then after that she said there was no good brothers in the area sutible for marriage, I was the only single one in the car at the time and was considered "weak".

In the Borg I didn't have no friends, I didn't even know how to interact with people socially, I have a form of Autism(PDD-Nos) also there was this one time that I was told that the reason I didn't have no friends was because I was "spiritually weak" after I woke up over time I have learned how to interact with people, also now I have friends, on May 27th all my friends will be throwing a birthday party for me, I'll also have some pictures posted on here:)
Looking back at the time when I was in the Borg I didn't know that there was this social mask over me but since I have gotten out I have learned alot more on my social skills and the mask has lifted.

What did your personal big AHA moments look like when you saw through a LIE or suddenly understood a TRUTH?
by Fernando in"what is an aha moment?
it's a moment of clarity, a defining moment where you gain real wisdom - wisdom you can use to change your life.".

Also one other thing I wanted to put out there since I was raised in the Borg, the night after my Aha!!! moment I was in shock, the shock lasted for a few weeks, also at work people could see something was wrong and I even got sent to counseling.

I have been out of the Borg for over a year, my Aha!! moment came when I was reading Crisis of Conscience by Ray Franz after just reading 80 pages in one night I realized that all the Watchtower was just a printing company and also I realized at that moment that I had been worshiping the Golden Calf(Watchtower) instead of God.

When you really think about it, the WTS. indoctrinates people to be the organization's own sales Representatives.
by thetrueone inisn't this the case, when one reflects upon the whole scope of how the wts.
publishing organization conducts and operates itself ?.
the way they are to dress.

If a person would look around inside tour of a kingdom hall they are more setup like a business layout floor plan instead of a church, also for a word game anyone knows what comes to mind when you say- meetings? how about put the word business in front of meeting, you have the word business meetings....................................................................
