New member checking in
by Old Major inbeen reading for about 2 and a half years, thought i would take the plunge and sign up.. my circumstances... i live in uk, serving as ms. i am fully awake.
i can not leave due to family, so just treating the meetings as a bit of a social club.
i would like to give out more details, but i think you all know the drill.. complete disillusionment and i suppose natural curiosity woke me up.. don't know what else to say right now, just hello, and i hope to get to know some of you guys better.

The Witnesses Are Really Trying Hard To Get Me Back In
by minimus inat my mom's bed side all i see is either jw family or friends making a concerted effort to have me return to their fold.
evidentlyy, my mom has encouraged this and i'm a trapped prisoner, as they do their best to have me come back.
it's bad enough that i have to endure my mom's dying, now i have to be bombarded with this bs..

November 2015 Awake
by username inok. when i first looked at the cover of this issue of awake i was instantly struck on how creepy it looked.
my first impressions were the picture looked almost masonic in nature.
well, further investigation has led me to another picture that shows a grand masonic hall.

What am I meant to be looking at? First picture circular object looks like a clock. Zooming in confirms it. Circular object is masonic symbolism in picture 2. -

I've just had a text from an elder's wife. Telling me "all have been instructed to attend sunday meeting because there's going to be an extremely important announcement that could mean my life". Ooooh err missus. She's a lovely lady, but totally uberdub. -

So sick of the abuse...
by iwasblind ini am still serving as an elder but just hanging in there.
i think their quandry is that they don't see me out in the field, but when they need encouragement and decent prayer they come to me.. i just got off the phone to this poor sister who i have only met twice.
she is not even in my congregation (her sister is).

I'm glad this is happening. It's always riled me that C/O's got cars and now accomadation. Paul never depended on the congregation. This is long overdue, even if it is for the wrong reasons. I agree that those at the top should set the example. Theyve all sponged of the r&f for far too long.
I remember 2 yrs ago in Liverpool at the summer convention. There was a young family of 5. They weren't particularly well dressed, but were clean and presentable. Their food at lunchtime was what I would class as sub-nutritious. I guess that was all they could afford. As the 3 days rolled on. I noticed that each day they wore the same clothes. Ate the same food. The point I am trying to make here is:- the bethel speaker was on the platform spouting the amount of travel he gets as part of the printing dept. He threw his hands up and said something along the lines of " See brothers & sisters, you even get free holidaus when you work hard for Jehovah!" WTF! You're tell7ng us that. Braggong in effect, and this poor humble family infront of me has gone without to obediently attend this convention at drastic costs to them as a family. That really really angered me.
Phew, and breath.

I thought I might attend and "take one for the team" and report back. But then I caught sight of myself in the mirror, and saw a yellow streak down my back.
