Your final WTF? Moment!
by restrangled init was a long time coming for me.....when i read about the extened generations, after being raised on1914 being the be all end all, and millions would never die....that was the end.
i was part of the 1975 fiasco, the 6 month only truth book studies, suffered through a disifellowshipping and their version of a rewind.
i finally am free and hope others can eventually look in instead of inside looking out!

Wow, James Woods I have a similar experience. The very first thing I became aware was the use of the name 'Jehovah' in the new testament. More precisely, I asked myself "Why there is so few mentioning of Jehovah in the NT?". Then I read the appendices in the NWT where the society tried to explain the reason why they replaced 'lord' with 'jehovah' in many places throughout the NT.
Then I had this physics teacher - a baptist - in high school who had studied with the jws back in the '90s. He explained to me why he didn't continue the bible study with jws and pointed out the organ transplant and vaccine prohibitions in the past. I'll need to thank him one day; he made me think more about the teachings of the wt. Fun fact: I wanted to show him that he was wrong so I started to make more research.
But I didn't have a final WTF moment. It all comes down to the fact that I realised that the existence of the Bible's god is a ridiculous thought.
My process of awakening is due to the fact that I know the WT teachings are false, I also know that god is an invention of humanity.
By the way, it's funny how jws tend to discuss this same topic except they are telling each other the reason why they beleive in the Truth™®.

Just letting you know I passed the exam
by will-be-apostate inhi, my apostate friends.. a couple of weeks ago i asked for some advice regarding studying methods.
then some of you asked me to let you know my score after i take the exam at mineralogy.. i scored 90%.
i'm pretty happy with it because the exams i take are not in my native language.. if i keep up with the good scores i might get a scholarship and then bye bye watchtower society.

granada35, I totally agree!
Btw, I've never read anything in the literature that discusses what should happen to those members of the cong who go to clubbs.
I'll tell all of the cong members - elders included - about the things I do which are not officially df offenses. I always enjoy to let them know they ain't got sh*t on me. They can't hurt me, I don't let them. I'm the one who knocks.

As a sidenote, if you don't have time to develop the site further I would gladly help you out. Implementing a profile picture uploader and changer is not that hard nor time consuming.
Thank you in advance
