Hello Kate, thanks for your well wishes. I feel much better just knowing there are many who understand the stranglehold this cult has on people. I feel like I had cancer when I was in then tried to have it removed only to find it sent out feelers to the rest of my body. I can't get rid of it no matter how much i want to. BTW, I have followed most of your story. Kate, you are couragous and inspiring.

Hi Big Mac! The troublemakers in the family ARE members here. Ain't that a crock? They are the poster children for hypocrites. While hubby was in Bethel and I was pioneering they were doing drugs, answering "Booty Calls" you know, the double life thing. His family has always made a BIG deal about how far back their JW history goes. They just forget to mention that is was more like the family club they all belong to but don't take seriously unless you quit attending!

Ruderedhead, Great username! Thanks, you're right it isn't fair to be out of the borg yet held captive by its spawn.

((((MissFit)))))) Thanks! Yes there are but I am a poor typest so I probably wont go through the whole schmeer all over again. These realatives make a big show of being "good JW's" but are members of this forum. Genuine hypocrites! We know bacause while we were still "in" they mentioned it to hubby. We are not very concerned about being "outed" at this point. They make trouble at work, with our livelyhood, and much more. We don't have time, energy, or money for their hastle.

Thanks so much Coffee House Girl, I appreciate your kind words. These so called Christians are ruthless and relentless and we are tired.

I have had to remove my rant because Hubby doesn't want the JW realatives to retaliate again. Now my rant turns into anger that I can't even rant in peace. Hope all of you are well.

Legacy, I like your question and line of thought. The only potential problem I see would be the part where the GB admits they are wrong about ever being Gods mouthpiece. To some, that would be showing humility and would confirm that they actually are. So I would simply word it the assumptive : Would you stay if you knew this was not Gods organization? Of course, we know that many feel "stuck in" and have/are staying despite knowing.

How many *educated* adults are being converted into the Jehovah's Witnesses nowadays?
by EdenOne inthe other day i was sitting in one of those meetings where the public talk was absolutely mind-dumbing.
by minute 5 i couldn't take it anymore paying further attention to what was being said, so my mind wandered.
i looked around to my own kh and started to notice something.

My father and his 3 siblings all went to college although they were "born in". This is because we are talking the 1920's when the WTBT$ hadn't offically ruled out education or thinking. Their mother had been a Russelite/Bible student who herself was college educated. Dad's 2 sisters got degrees and became school teachers. All of them were very intelligent, however cult mind control and love and loyality to Grandma proved to be more powerful than logic. As far as a college educated intelligent person coming in cold (no family ties to WBT$) from the field is EXTREMELY rare. In the 60 years and at least 13 congregations I had been associated I only know of 2 individuals who did. Both were women undergoing a personal crisis at the time they agreed to study. One died of old age decades ago so never saw how dumbed down and controlling the Borg became. The other, says things like "I'm constantly praying, Jehovah please don't let me see what I see."

Sparrowdown, LOL! You mean it ISN"T a suggestion box??? (as if the WTBT$ listens to suggestions..... from sisters no less.) Sticky candy makes me smile. especially when I think of it messing up the checks and money in the box. Letters to Jehovah from kids? Now those could be funny or cute or.......they could be tragic.... Could even be a separate thread.

The Rants of a Dumbass Elder Still Serving
by TTATTelder inok in the effort of full disclosure, i have had a couple of drinks and recently experienced a circuit assembly and a bad experience with a co.. i don't know where to effing begin.
first of all the circuit assembly was a joke.
half the assembly was about pioneering and selling your soul to be a no-pay salesman for the borg.
