Enough is enough- when I was in there was alot of favoritism. Brothers giving green handshakes to the higher ups for favors. My father was a vp for an oil company when we lived in the states and the brothers went to my father for money. My father got fed up with it and started to tell them no. Well, no more part of the 'good Ol boy' network. Same thing happened when we returned to Italy. Brothers would show up wanting money, we would say no. Would not look at our spiritual produce more of our bank ledger.

Enough is enough- what did this person do after he read all the things about him.
I was baptized pre 1985 under false pretenses and was forced in to it as a minor. Which anyone with a first year law degree can argue is very illegal and unethical to say the least. And as a minor underage to boot. There was more questions that where not allowed to ask or talk about.

The Story of the first human pair stirred questions. Then, the the Flood of Noah's Day created alot of questions that to this day no one answers.

1985 and baptism...I wish I had read this before today
by enoughisenough ini am posting a link as to being legally bound to jw rules at time of baptism.
i only did a quick skim, but what i gathered is interesting, and what it says about 1985 may be of use to some hoping to just fade and not be bothered.
in 1985, the questions were changed at baptism for legal purposes so they could have causation to defend themselves should you decide to sue for whatever reason.

Longhairgal- I was baptized at 15. Not even old enough for a legal contract. I say it's voided out.

refusing to go in service with someone
by enoughisenough indid you ever refuse to go in service with someone?
i did.... i went to the kh to meet for service and 3 brothers were there.
i told the brother taking the lead, that when he made up the car groups to take note i had a plan of my own -the 3 brothers could go together and i would do my own thing.

Did becoming a JW influence you to give up something you enjoyed ?
by smiddy3 inwhen i was a teenager a younger fellow workmate was involved in the sport of judo.i got interested and went along to a number of sessions and took to it like a sponge to water ,and as a sport i was happy participating in.. not that much longer another workmate was getting re-activated in the religion of jw`s.
which i had never heard o before and then got interested in that .. conflict : was judo a sport that was compatible with j.w beliefs?
sadly i decided it was not and stopped any further involvement.. to this day i resent that decision i made back then .and i`m 82 years old now.. it was a sport i was comfortable doing and i enjoyed it.and i gave it up because of the religion .who knows what i may have achieved had i continued with it.

When I was a Jdub, I was always near broke. Now that I'm not a Jw, I got cash to burn.

My whole family faded out. If people choose to follow the rules of this cult, which is so "high school" what children do to one another in a school yard, is very pathetic. And yes I have some family stuck in and lost friends. But who needs friends like them, they are not true friends.
