  this is my first time participating in a site like this , so please.

  forgive me if my approach is clumsy.. my story is not extraordinary and hardly interesting, so thanks.

  in advance to this forum for extending the bandwidth for my own.

  School for Congregation Elders

  i attended the school late last year, and it was an emotional and mental rollercoaster for me.

  i was already divided in my heart to say the least.

  one of the instructors stayed in my home for the week, and my family genuinely enjoyed his company.

  Thanks Problemaddict for sharing that with me. Im glad it helped you in some way. I check in here quite a bit but Im a busy dad and usually too tired to formulate a coherent post .

  @konceptual- No I dont attend anymore, its been over 6 months. Once my wife woke up it was unbearable for us and unacceptable to subject our kids to it. We havent been outspoken but we drew a hard line and just couldnt fake any of it. I still get alot of heat from the elders but hopefully ignoring them will discourage them.

  Other than that, life is good. Thanks for asking!

  Michael Jackson's kids decide no more going door-to-door

  this article made my day.

  it looks like paris jackson and her brother prince michael have told katherine they simply aren't interested in peddling jw stuff from door-to-door any more.

  i'm glad they are becoming their own people and emerging from their grandmother's control.. http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2013/05/paris-jackson-prince-michael-jackson-jehovas-witness/.

  so where do you start?.

  i've been reading peoples experiences for several months now trying to figure out what i want to say but how do you put your whole life into a few words?.

  i was a born in but have been happy and free for 5 years and luckily for me my husband felt the same way and we have freed our children from being brainwashed.

  April 15, 2013 Watchtower - p. 22-26: Organization-Obsessed Much???

  by sd-7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there's a study article "make sure of the more important things", and in no uncertain terms the article makes clear that "jehovah's organization" is the most important thing.

  the term "organization" or "jehovah's organization" is used a whopping 24 times in the article, including a subheading titled: "follow the example of jehovah's organization".

  i thought organizations were entities, but that sort of subheading makes it seem like the organization is one giant person whose example we can follow.
