  I burned every bit of it (all thirty years worth). I didn't want any of that file information to fall into the hands a child or a child like minded person....were it might do some harm.

  i still like the commentary on the jw.org monthly’s, i can skip through some parts.

  but it seems like he is pushing too hard to put out videos and the quality is getting very low on the content..

  I don't know I just mentioned him in a tread a couple a months ago and asked "what had happened to him" and the whole thread was removed.

  So I guess we can talk about him now.

  All I can say is he is NOT "The Reluctant Apostate" He is doing very well $$$ making his living by attacking the Watchtower.

  Which is fine by me.

  I wished he did a little more grooming, he always looks like he just woke up sleeping under a bridge. If there was ever a preconceived notion on what a Apostate looks like...I'm afraid he would be it.

  Also he needs to get rid of the whole "This Lloyd from the Bunker" thing.

  The only person you think of hunkered down in a bunker is that guy that died at the end of WWII.

  P.S. Not like the rest of us here the worst that could happen to Lloyd is the end of the WTB&TS because he would be out of a job.

  i started dating a coworker who is a divorced jw.

  found out he was disfellowshipped, and he was trying to figure out how to make things work.

  I'm afraid this is an old story.

  I think of the line from the Fiddler on the roof.

  "Yes a bird can fall in love with a fish but where will they build their home."

  Good luck!

  Thunderous Applause Around The Stadium

  by Number 6 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  growing up in the 70's and 80's in the jw religion who remembers the massive stadium gigs the watchtower used to hold?.

  we used to denounce false religion in the starkest of terms.

  we were right and by god we were letting anyone who listened know it.

  Since you have been in the organization a long time you know how it works. The only time they really have any interest in you is when you are coming into it or leaving it.

  Like all cults, they really don't like you leaving it. You say you still want these people in your life but you don't want to believe the way they do....that makes sense to you of course because you have stop drinking the Kool Aid but it wont to them.

  Bottom line it can be done but it's going to be tricky....It's like making love to the Black Widow spider you might be able to do it but you might get eaten too.

  Good Luck

  I am starting to think there is more to these riots than just some meets the eye.

  by phoenixrising in

  1. social
  2. current

  the fake news wants us to believe that one cop who murdered one person sparked all this.

  i am seeing this crap in london and around the world.

  this does not make any sense.

  Yes when things get really bad all we'll need is someone to raise from the ashes to save us....maybe his name will be Adolf.

  Lingering doubts and internal debates

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello, i am in the beginning stages of a slow fade.

  over the years i have become more and more dissatisfied with the beliefs, teachings, and organizational practices of the organization.

  i no longer have faith in it.

  You got a point. Maybe you should stay in. You sure don't want to be on the wrong side when your loving god Jehovah (that you still believe in) comes to Earth to kill 8 BILLION men, women and children, even though vast majority of those people he'll be killing never even heard him.

  Just because his organization is corrupt I sure he is still a cool guy.

  If you want to believe in god that's OK but Jehovah....

  Time to deprogram yourself my friend.

  If you go behind the scenes there seems to be more to this story than just police brutality.

  Reading "Babylon the Great Has Fallen, God's Kingdom Rules"

  You are a glutton for punishment. I was 14 when it came out.

  Here is something fun you might want to do. Read the book but pretend you know nothing about the Jehovah's Witnesses and their teachings.

  Pretend you bought it from a door to door salesman as thousands of people did. Read it with the eyes and mind of a non Jehovah's Witness.

  I'm your sure you will come to the same conclusion a friend of mine did after reading this book that is no longer in print.

  What is this conclusion? That the people who wrote this book (probably Franz) and the people who did believe in its pontifications are BAT SHIT crazy.
