I've been wondering about your situation, and wow, congrats on freedom. Those eldubs sure were manipulative. I'm glad you are out anyway.
I agree with the custody thing. If your wife wants a full on divorce, get an attorney and really push for as much custody you can. It would suck if your wife remarried some douche bag dubber and your daughter had to live by his rules. My two cents anyway.

This is horrible, immoral, and I feel wretched after seeing this. This child is being heralded as a martyr by this religion. More like an innocent victim of brainwashing and familial pressure. I hurt for those little ones who are ready to be sacrificed by their parents to their real God--the organization. How is this any different from passing their children through the fires to molech in the bible? If this doesn't scream under demonic influence and/or cult propaganda I don't know what does.

I'm all for a nice, trimmed beard. Now, how about pants for the ladies? As much counsel gets dished-out over immodest dress you would think the Borg would allow for business-style pants. Oh, who am I kidding, it's a frickin cult. -

We live a simple life
by hoser inthis is a video on jw broadcasting to quit your full time career, sell your house and belongings and start a window washing career.
i agree with some of what is presented but not all.
it is good to live within your means as presented in this video.

I once told a pioneer that I had to get a job. She told me, "You don't need a job, just rely on Jehoober." It was a face-palm moment. My palm, her face.

Jehovers Witnesses are not the only ones....
by The Rebel in"more than half of the people in the u.k either aren't saving at all or they aren't saving enough to give themselves the standard of living they hope for" ( the money advice service).
how do you have your retirement planned?.
as for myself, i never botherd with putting money in a pension, i opted instead to invest in buy to let properties.

Fear of not enough money to care for my old self keeps me up at night. I worry about this all the time. I worry about it because I know that my poor JW family and in laws are going to need our help and care. But, who is going to take care of me and my husband? Those judgmental people will rely on us, the sinners who work hard and have nurtured a career despite what the org does or says.

Tales from the Special Convention in Helsinki

You are an awake pioneer? You are my hero. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your experience. Were there many baptized at this international? Also, I completely agree with your point that there is very little scriptural support for the JW beliefs. Everything is based upon the social structure and the commands to obey.

What should I do?
by Tameria2001 inhello everyone, it's been quite a while since i was last on this forum.
originally i was under a different user name, but lost all that information when i moved to a different state.
anyways, i had left the jws back in 2001, after being raised up in it most of my childhood life.

Tameria2001, it is simply disgusting how your JW family has treated you these years. It is bad enough that they shun their own blood, but to antagonize the situation by saying you and your kids will all die at Armageddon is crossing a serious line into cruel judgment. Your sister sounds like she suffers from a personality disorder. Glad you guys got out when you did. Toxic people, toxic religion.

The identity of "The Faithful and Discreet Slave", solved - I think.
by Island Man in“who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?
- matthew 24:45. let's be honest, the faithful and discreet slave logically cannot refer to any and every christian.
this is not merely an encouragement for all christians to prove themselves faithful and discreet.

That's really interesting, Island Man. I pretty much feel that any explaination contrary to the Borgs interpretation is a good one.
