I got baptized at 23. My mother became a jdub when I was 16.

I always had some nagging doubts, but the revelation book..it's grand climax at hand really started to wake me up to the BS spewing from watchtower

It started in 2004 when I was up at Bethel helping painting the interior of the old factory buildings. Walking around Brooklyn I couldn't understand why the wt. had so many buildings they were not using but to house bethelites to maintain the buildings. That really bother me alot! This reality lead me to look into other things because of the doubts this caused

That's an excellent point. Did the watchtower society morph into a corporation that seems more obsessed with real estate using religion as a front to achieve their aims. Is it the case that the love of riches (real estate) has been made the priority over everything. It baffles me why they have so much properties. Their latest ventures in New York's state will have many people wondering why? Why when Armageddon is so imminent. It doesn't make sense to the rank and file looking at things from a faith perspective!

Why the Oxygen Special will not work like we think it will...

by HiddenPimo in

within the very documentary is a reason i think that jw's for the most part will not wake up even if they watch this program.

the one lady actually saw as her family sat behind the abuser in court supporting him despite the established fact that he had abused their very own child.. this shows how deep the indoctrination is.

i am not saying that some won't wake up, but the majority will carry on, not even because they think these things are lies but because they will look past that at all costs to side with jehovah.

Oxygen doesn't appear to be available in the UK. Can it be viewed on Facebook?

Dropped my family off at the thought control assembly 🙄

by UnshackleTheChains in

well that's my family dropped off at the assembly for their mind control charge up.

.

from what my 2 sisters (non witnesses) in ireland said about my mother (pioneer) after her assembly, was that she seemed to more fanatical and that they couldn't change the subject as obsessed with the end etc.. i hope their mind control coercive talks don't have too much impact on my family.

I have now faded 2 years. In that time, I am more my authentic self. No longer putting on a fake robotic boring personality. Simply put, 'Im simply me', What you see is what you get'.

Anyone else glad to be who you really are since leaving?

Unpopular Opinion on Convention Protests

by Jehalapeno in

i think it's really sad that people that wasted countless hours preaching for a cult are deciding to waste more hours on that same cult after leaving it.. get a hobby.

enjoy life.. "the best revenge is a life well-lived.

" - some person said this..

I think Google and YouTube are doing the work. This site for instance raises all sorts of topics about watchtower. I wouldn't protest myself, but up to the individual. I think peaceful protests with placards pointing people to jwfacts.com is no harm. People have phones and may sow the seed of curiosity bringing such to sites like this. Different folks different strokes

elders wont pray for someone?

by AuntBee in

a former member said that elders told a relative of his after she was dfed that they would not be praying for her.

is that some kind of policy, or were they just doing their own thing in that instance?

taot.

I remember being at an elders and ms meeting during the overseers visit. I will never forget when he said that we shouldn't pray for those who had stopped attending meetings. He said if they loved Jehovah, they would be here. That was most certainly one of my red flag moments 🙄
