being pushed by religion since the 17th century.
my question is why ?.
Religion is a bullshit story - but it works and has worked for as long as people existed and needed ways to exert power over others.
Connecting people to the dead helps create societies and cultures. If dead people were just - dead - and nothing more, we might lose our connection to the past. Thus, religion completes the cycle. With end time predictions religion is able to strategically use this connection for the purpose of exerting even more control over people.
the only way i can sit through the meetings is due to having my tablet and connection to this forum!.
since awakening, i can't believe how much i cringe each and every meeting when i hear all the propaganda and garbage spewed out from the bible and the society!.
i only cope by venting on here.. (plus it is so easy when sitting at the back of the hall or on the sound control box... hahaha).
So you mean that you can access sites other than jw.org from a KH? Some how I think they will figrue out how to fix that problem.
so the rc really sucked, but i made it through.
the propaganda was mind blowing.
i don't know if the crap will be available on the official website or not, but hopefully it gets leaked somehow.

Is all I have to say is "been there done that and bought the t-shirt." Your expreience is one that has been replicated by many before you, including myself.
Take a deep breath and understand that you have a long journey ahead. But, it will be worth the effort.
i mean there are some great debates running on this forum :-.
what is spirit exactly?.
what is love?.
Don't take no crap from NO ONE!. Enjoy life be happy and tell the world to F-off.
With this attitude you will find that the world really does not care about your happiness or sadness. Everyone has their own stinkin problems and are all consumed with their own sh*t. You are the last person on their minds.

Being selfish is not a bad thing. Feeling guilty for enjoying your life is bad. Remember that life is a gift. You better enjoy it because there are no returns.
i believe that the older you are the harder it is to leave the watchtower.. .
i am attempting to get a list of ages people learnt the "truth" and what age they left.. .

Born in and learned TTATT around 38 yo. It took me close to 10 years to excape.
most people feel that it is unethical to post private messages.. how ever there does not seem to be a posting rule against it.. some people unfamiliar with posting on boards may not realize that it is not done to post private messages .
( even though it would seem self evident with the word private in it.).
so what do you think about making it an official posting rule?.
I rarely get PMs and I have never gotten any that seem offensive.
my mom has not been to any meetings or participated in field service since august 2013. she cannot walk due to all her medical conditions.
she is either in bed or sitting in a wheel chair.. our family hired a caretaker monday - friday to help her eat, take her to the bathroom and sit with her in case she needs anything.
in the evenings and weekends, we have family members take care of her.
Numbers are everything in this organization. Correlating numbers with results - not so much.
But as long as they can say their numbers are big god is happy.
obama speaks at us war cemetery on d-day landings anniversary.
"united states of america is and will remain the greatest force for freedom the world has ever known.".
on may 28, obama delivered a commencement address to the us armys newest officers at west point, where he argued america would remain an empire forever.. .
Lets hope that the US remains a major force in world politics for a long long time. For all our problems, we are the best the world has to offer.
