an interesting thought, let's take geoffrey jackson.. born: unfortunately.
age: who cares, his going to live for ever.. sex: i believe he has a young wife?
special-qualities:- very good at making speeches ( usually talking bullshit) always wears a tie, has own tailor made suit, and expensive apple watch.
Fulano you may be right about Geoffey Jackson not wearing designer suits, so let me answer as Geoffrey Jackson would:-
A) This is not my field of expertise.
B) I don't know to be honest I'm only part of the G.B.
Or let me me give a more direct and honest answer, Geofrey Jackson wears very expensive suits, that the average modestly dressed Jehovers Witness can not afford. Now let's talk about his watch.....

special-qualities:- Very good at making speeches ( usually talking bullshit) Always wears a tie, has own tailor made suit, and expensive Apple watch. Is thought of as extremely clever. ( To be perfectly honest his an idiot, who never uses one word when 100 will do, unless his in front of the Royal commission when he answers to challenging questions " I don't remember" or " I will have to check that information for you")
Other important information. In my opinion looks like an old Bald Rotwiler dog.
Iam sure Geoffey Jackson has many more qualities why he is worshipped worldwide by Jehovers Witnesses, but for the life of me I can't think of any.

i have seen a lot of new posters intro stories on here, also updates from those who have been around for a while.
i just want to take 1 post to beg those reading to speak up.
it was a big turning point for me and one of the best decisions i made.
Freemindfade your O.P " Urging more Lurkers to "sign up" reminds me of English properganda to get folk to enlist during the war so:-
A) " Don't just sit and read sign up today"
B) " Enlist and take up the sword of justice"
C) " Women lurkers of the Watchtoer sign up to Jehovers-withesses discussion forum"
D " Come in to the ranks, and share the story of YOUR fight for truth and justice against the watchtower"
E) " Jehovers-witnesses discussion forum needs YOU!!

1) i am glad i had the courage to live my life true to myself and not the life others expected of me.. 2) i am glad i had the courage to express my feelings.. 3) i am glad i let myself be myself.. 4 ) and i hope i have so many days, and years to live those thoughts, because surely the most wonderful thing about having left our " watchtower death bed" is to start living?.
in my case at 50 !!.
but the important thing is when we leave, to start living.. any experiences worth sharing?.
This is where I am today in my thinking:-
There is one life, and THIS is it. My life is the property of ME and not something to be taken away by an organization. Actually I have more to my life , and I could rumble on, but much of my life is confidential and secret, and iam sure it would bore you by reading it anyway. More to the point it is boring, Nevertheless it's my life, and it belongs to ME not the watchtower....but I am sure some of you here have gone on and made wonderful accomplishments since leaving? Fancy sharing...
The Rebel.
p.s if simply living life and being happy is an accomplishment, then that is my major accomplishment since leaving.
heres one on my arm.....i pull up my sleeve.....a chick will read it.....i pull down my sleeve.......and the chick is like why did you cover it up??????
duh thats all ya get......just 1 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
I wonder if there are any convertees with love, hate on the knuckle, and cut here across the neck? If the convertee can answer Yes to either of those questions, I wonder if he/ she can go on the ministry? One thing is for sure it would be great if they became an elder.

p.s I like the tattoo brandnew.

Witness 007 (Q) Add your stupid title of Witness books that did not come true.
The Rebel (A) I feel I must regrettably add to the list the entire collection of Watchtowers and Awake magazines which are full of information both medically, scientifically and religiously that did not come true,

none of you are old enough to have been there, i suspect.
i had been in prison two years as a jw conscientious objector when the exciting news about 1975 spread like wildfire.i was paroled from prison in 1969 and immediately began pioneering.
the pressures began mounting throughout the organization.
Finkelstein to answer your question from my personal experience.
The Rebel :- When I get in to a conversation with a witness about the W.T propagating false prophecies, they somehow manage to turn a blind eye to this perceived " little innocent" mistake of having been repeatedly mislead and lied to by there God, the G.B.
In fact the G.B have covered themselves by starting personal campaigns against, people like us, i.e. they label us " mentally diseased" and say we are siding with Satan, Thery also have there "Police and Legal representives" known as Elders to make sure everyone in the congregation thinks we have half a brick missing with our insane rumblings, of Gods organization having made false prophecies.
The Rebel.
mum phoned last night to see how we all are.
after fifteen years away from meetings and my old jw life you'd think my fade could be called 'successful' and for the most part it is.
.. my resentment at being lied to and having wasted over thirty years of my life has left me like a glass of water full to the brim, it only takes a tap to make a mess.
nicolaou:- " Fading is never 100% successful is it?
The Rebel ( A) Agreed there is never a 100% successful fade, but life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful, and there is nothing to feel guilty about, so there should be no personal cries of shame, even it a fade does create some sensational gossip in the congregation.
Personally I wish I could convince those I love still in, that the W.T is a sneaky, unprincipled organization, therefore my hope is someday in the not to distant future, I get to share some of that fascinating information.
The Rebel.
p.s faders can however be 100% certain the G.B is guilty of all charges.

Or as Stan Laurel said on his death bed:-
Stan. " I'd rather be skiing than doing this "
Nurse " I didn't know you skied Mr Laurel"
Stan " I don't, but I'd rather be doing that than doing this"

Brandnew I love the explicit video, but as a witness even under my dead body I would never have watched such a video. (Ok only in secret)
Anyway for any lurking Jehovers Witnesses, I am sure you realize the fun stories of leaving and the accomplishments achieved were by a few lucky, unprincipled apostates, otherwise you will be extremely cross.
