Another great video of someone waking up!!! Using our "thinking mind"

by Olivia Wilde in

i love the fact what he said about reading crises of conscious: if you read that book as a jw and still think the wt has the truth, something is wrong with you....the song played at the end is simply classic and very appropriate.

I hope the letter about deleting the Theocratic school is true.

by John Aquila in

yesterday i was with a group of brothers that wanted my advice on re-roofing a home.

three of them were ministerial servants.

all of them are from the spanish congregation.

Olivia Wilde

John Aquila: the released letter no question is real, ceders just posted a video & article that he was contacted by a legal firm of WTBTS putting a compliant of copyright violation infringement on the letter leaked.... why else the WT will go this far if it wasn't true? They wouldn't

John Aquila : ja jajajajaja that pretty much sums it ..... i think the spanish will turn a blind eye to TTAT, i really don't hear any getting DF or DA for "apostacy" in the spanish....i honestly believe the elders won't even know how to handle a JC for that.... one thing I've seen is a great Idea to do is when u submit a DA letter is to type/write ur letter behind the UN NATION certificate of confirming the WTBTS membership to the UN jajajajaja if it gets to that point for me I'll definitely will do that...

ViDOIT: EXACTLYYYY JAJA, soo funny

I think it will be classic many elders in sp speak eng so they would be exposed to it

Crazy it's true in the spanish they are more embracing of WT changes, I find they have more of a loyalty to GB, just hearing their comments makes it clear, I think cause its embedded in their culture.... i will admit I wouldn't have come across TTATT if i only knew spanish... it's all translation it doesn't come across the same believe me I only came across it because of my experience with a JW person in my congregation, English is my first language & once I discovered things I literally went back to all the Eng watchtowers & read them to see what we're people talking about..... besides the older publications in the 1800-1900 can be found mostly in english..... people in the spanish are more socialists & many don't want to jepordize their social friends so they ignore anything negative, we have gatherings every weekend everyone is always invited with music & dancing, it's a fiesta each time especially after our mtgs, someone's house hosting & all bring spanish food, this is for hours

If your Bethelite Brother Doesn't Know About It, It Musn't Be True

by HomebytheSea in

a few weeks ago my deeply indoctrinated father who is a long time elder was wondering why we hadn't been attending meetings, and why my 8 yr old son wasn't on the theocratic school ( sounds like i almost off the hook with that one...lol).

we live in a different state, but i came to find out that one of the elders in our hall called my father, who he never met, to see why our meeting attendance had been so sporadic (i am in my mid-40's, so that knowledge made my blood boil, to put it mildly!

i tried not to answer, but he kept pressuring me, so i brought up the arc and child abuse cases i had heard of in our area.

Olivia Wilde

Homebythesea.....Hang in there like freemindfade said... i have a question how did u do to talk to ur son abt distancing ur self from WT? Reason I'm asking is i have my child abt the same age as urs & need advice?

Right everyone watch this video its insane!

by username in

i'm just watching this video.

now bare in mind this guy has never been a jehovah's witness so he has no investment in this cult.. https://youtu.be/_ry-onhbkya.

Olivia Wilde

Username could it be possible someone give it the watchtower as an inheritance? Remember they did make an announcement a while back that people can donate life insurance & assets, stocks, shares, bonds to WT, just a question

I feel blessed

by vinman in

i just wanted to express a simple thought.

having awakened 11 months ago , i feel blessed to have awakened at this special time.

i feel so vindicated.

Olivia Wilde

Yup it's that easy to watch the GB, no need for "apostate" websites, heck all u have to watch is the royal comission ...... the great thing also is when you awaken is the liberation you feel, a heavy load u left behind, the heavy burden you keep feeling when your told each time at mtgs, etc you are not doing enough for Jehovah, they determine you weren't doing enough.... at that point I felt lighter & liberated ..... & most importantly the fear of men went away.... we are all truly blessed & i agree with Vinman this is a turning point for WT.... i read some comments on JWTALK abt halting construction was because they want to focus on preaching, so maybe the people leaving is way way higher in recent times & with a growth of 2.2 yearly they need more people coming in....only time will tell what happens

Another great video of a normal, healthy, exjw expressing themselves on their exit

Not sure if this one was posted before but I deeply resonate with her, because being the only witness in my family just shows how we were with the mindset of not allowing anyone take us away from the "truth" it's only the real truth that makes us make that decision not influence by anyone... i love this video as well

Watch "Why I left Jehovah's Witnesses" on YouTube
