At the last congregation I attended, a good friend of mine (who had three kids) had his wife run off with an elder (who had several kids). She apparently wanted an elder husband and my friend was far to down-to-earth to ever be an elder.
He left the troof. About the time I returned to town from going to college, I was riding a crotch rocket motorcycle and pulled up next to him in a convertible at a red light. We both looked and each other and said at the same time "pull over".
It was game on after that. We had a good time hanging out for a while. He remarried not too long afterwards. Me too about 5 years later.
His ex wife and her elder husband successfully destroyed the lives of 7 kids for a while... but hey; they are still in the troof. That's all that matters right?

Cultlike conflicting directives that create cognitive chaos
Us vs. Them mentality
Crazy, useless behaviors like wearing masks while walking outside or alone in your car
I see the similarities.... never made that connection before. -

Wow! I'm sure these stories are just the tip of the iceberg. I officially left with the generation change in Nov. 1995.
But in the months leading up to that, I was rapidly coming to the conclusion that the Kingdom Hall was simply too hostile of an environment for me to exist in.

My 20 year anniversary
by new boy inafter being a jehovah's witness for 52 years, today marks my 20 year anniversary of being out of the borg!
i turned in my letter of disassociation on september 18th 2001. it was read to the congregation on september 19th, my wife's birthday.
of course the years have had its difficulties but it has also had many wonderful experiences and epiphanies.

I was appointed as a Regular Pioneer in a certain congregation. In that congregation, a very obese male pioneer seduced a nice looking married pioneer sister who had two teenage sons. Her husband was a MS. Both were Df'd. I felt really bad for the husband and the teenage sons. Total embarrassment.
Later, the P.O. announced that one young sister was the only teenager in the congregation that had not not been before a judicial committee. He made this announcement right after one of her meeting parts on the TMS. Within a week or two they disfellowshipped her.
I left the congregation without saying goodbye to anyone and moved to another city. Shortly thereafter, the PO was disfellowshipped for cheating on his wife.
Within 4 years, I was free of the cult. That one congregation was a significant part of my decision to leave.
Any congregation scandals still stick in your craw? -

Are JW Masters of Deception?
by Iamallcool inwe do know that many of them are masters of deception!
can you give us some examples?
i notice that some worldly people think jw are very honest people but we know better than that!

JW's want Freedom of religion, unless it is someone who wants to be free of their religion. Then, you must be persecucted in one of the worst possible ways.
JW's do not tell you that Jesus is not your Mediator before God before joining.. This is not one of the 100 or so baptismal questions. Yet, when you later find out after joining their ranks, you are not free to simply attend another church without being labelled a deceiver, hater of God, an apostate, and one who is anti-christ. This of course means disfellowshipping and loss of family and friends.
Truly a very nasty and cruel deception. -

1995 generation change
by Gorb innow, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.
it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.
with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.

Disillusioned,
That's funny. I have found the bible to be very accurate.... the opposite of your conclusion. Could you please post what you believe to be the greatest contradiction you found?
