Big thanks to all the Veterans!
Here's hoping the principles of freedom of action and thought guide our great nation and don't fall by the wayside.

Happy Veterans Day! (America)
by freemindfade inpeople have varied and strong feelings about politics and wars, but you can't deny the courage a sacrifice of our veterans.
too often they do not get the honor they deserve.
in this country once they come home their sacrifice and heroism is too quickly forgotten.

How To Test a J.W.'s Loyalty/Stupidity
by The Searcher in"would you do absolutely anything which the governing body instructed you to do?
for example, sell your home and possessions, move in with another witness, and send all your money to the org?".
if 'no', they're showing that they will pick and choose which org directives they will follow.

I made this mistake with my wife at one point - asking if she'd take a cyanide pill if the GB somehow managed to cherry pick some scriptures to justify it and she said she would.
Perfect opportunity to ask, "So, if that's true, how is it not a cult?"

One Year Later - A Thank You to Tony Morris.

i wanted to send you a note of "thanks" on this special day.. why is this day special, you may ask?
one year ago today, you, tony, woke me up to the fact that the governing body could not have jehovah's blessing or direction.. last year, on november 8th & 9th, 2014, the united states branch visit was broadcast to over 1,000,000 jehovah's witnesses across the country.. as i sat at the kingdom hall listening to the "historic occasion," i was ignoring certain doubts that had surfaced in the few months prior.

I wanna thank all of you for your amazing comments and support over the past year. I don't think I could have stayed sane or done it without the help from y'all.
Yes, I am one fortunate sonuvagun in that I got my wife and kids out. The kids are young, so the indoctrination isn't strong yet. We celebrated my daughter's birthday last month and took them Trick-or-Treating for the first time.
Thanks!

Myth Dispelled! Leaving the Organization is NOT Leaving God
by LeftMyReligionToFindGod init's true, leaving the organization does not mean you leave god.
as someone who was raised in the "truth" i always heard the messaging that if you leave the organization you leave god and lose his protection.
after disassociating myself, i even believed that and began on a path of self-destructive behaviour as i was leaving behind every relationship i had ever known and very ill equipped to live in the "real world" growing up, i always felt there was a higher power and our purpose was more than living a few decades.

Heaven: I am partial to Dionysus. My friend freemindfade converted me. The evidence of his blessings are everywhere you look in the aisles of Total Wine & More. -

Jeb Bush would kill a baby !
by Simon inok, specifically he was talking about hitler.
apparently he was asked whether, if he could go back in time, he would kill him when he was a baby.. and he said "hell yeah !".
but still wtf?

...inability to answer simple questions rationally.
It's an irrational and dumb question to begin with.
And Jeb Bush is an idiot for even dignifying it with an answer.

Discussion with a Pioneer: CONCLUSION
by Saved_JW indeity of jesus.
the final part of our discussion took us back to the very beginning where he was asking my christian friend a question about the trinity.
i wasn't convinced that david received an answer that was satisfying [essentially its a mystery, god is too big to understand etc..] i wanted to talk about that more.

Hopefully, David's doubts will lead him to examine the evidence and he will come to lead an evidence based life. -

JWs have more good points than bad
by lsw1961 in1) many who were on the destructive path have been transformed by their teachings (this includes me who was once vicious, and presumptuous and atheistic).
2) equal monthly pay to all members of the bethel community regardless of whether they are bc members or sweepers.
this is something that still remains as an unattainable dream for the world.

"...spewing venom..."
Pointing out falsehoods and speaking truth is NOT spewing venom.
