hello friends, i am a fading jw and i am thinking of attending sunday service at a local aog church here, just for fellowship.
i have lots of friends but none of them are spiritual minded.
not that i am complaining but it would be nice to meet some spiritual minded people.
I don't completely agree with everyone here . . .
Part of checking things out . . . is asking your friends and acquaintances for their experience and knowledge of the subject, also researching it . . . not just rolling up and checking it out to form a personal impression. Many become JW's by making the same mistake. Well done for asking.

A friend of mine left AOG after 30 years . . . thought it had become too high-control. My high-control was bigger than his high-control, but from his description, I would give it a miss.

only an ex-JW can understand an ex-JW, even it does not speak your language or share your very culture, 'cause the Tower was our universe.
Well said and so very true. A bitter sweet in some ways . . . but pooling resources to get things done is just great.
i never saw the king, live, in concert.
if i could've i would have wanted to see elvis.
i rarely listen to him but it would been great to see him in his prime.. and i would've loved it if i could have seen the 60's versions of the temptations!.
I'd have thought you'd have said Ritchie Blackmore!!!
Ritchie would come and watch too.

This is why I love this place.
aint that about a bitch!!!
when my brother said this to me the other day, i tried my hardest to try to explain why the watchtower's polices on sexaul abuse and molestation in the past, and he said that it was the parents fault (not the watchtowers fault) that these children got molested, and that its the parents job to protect the children.
i tried to tell his thick headed, simple minded self that back in the day parents were threated with disfellowshippment and dissassociation if they reported this to the police.
Faulty reasoning . . .
If you're in a position to make the decision to report it to the Police . . . the abuse has already happened. Duh!
It's the Watchtower's fault because they condone paedophilia by decree. period. It shouldn't happen in the first place in "God's Theocratic Organisation"

Easy question . . .

this is a sugestion i have to all members of this board ,members from all over the world, to let the victorian government in australia know that the world is concerned about protecting the children of victoria ,and theirby setting a precedent for the rest of the world, who are interested in the outcome of the criminal charges against the religion of jehovah`s witnesses in refusing to abide by the legislation to get "working with children checks"when required to do so.correct me if i`m wrong but i think if all of us sent letters to the newspapers here in australia ,the different members of parliment here,we would demonstate that the victorian judicial system here is under scrutiny to do the right thing in the eyes of the world.. we all complain that the wtb&ts/jehovahs witnesses is a cult religion that sucks,destroying family relationships,here is a chance to do something about it.
whether you agree with steven unthank or not,here is an opportunity to stick up for the children of jehovah`s witnesses and every other child that a witness calls on in their door to door ministry.. what do you think ?.
smiddy.
Nice responses Az . . . it's gratifying to see most respondents appear to be taking it seriously.
Great work . . . well done to you and Robert and the folks here.
it's a little over a year since my daughter was diagnosed with end stage congestive heart failure due to a virus.
her dr. was talking heart transplant then.. i almost lost her 3 times over the past year due to complications.
2011 was a tough year to put it mildly.
Great news!
