Good on you, @HereIgo. You asked all the right (or from the Witness standpoint, "wrong") questions that led up to your awakening. Takes a special kind of brain within the organization to dwell on the points you raised.

What woke you up?
by MrRoboto infor me, i think it was just the right time as i was starting to wake up on other fronts as well (anyone who had went through these will know what i mean).
but it started when i was looking for what info goes on a publisher card, which led to me reading one person's story (ex bethelite) which was pretty crazy to an all-in jw but who trusts those apostates...?.
then i started watching videos on cults, as if my subconscious was trying to tell my concord mind something... when i saw a particular one about a young man in lds getting ready to start their 2 year preaching campaign, including a school, social activities etc, i realized that i couldn't tell the difference between the folks of this mormon cult and the jws (save for some religious differences) .

@jwleaks Lol, there's a scene in Baywatch, season eight, where Carmen Electra strips off to Leave Your Hat On. *sigh* I miss the 90s.

Some prayers really annoy me
by stillin ini realize that prayer is a really personal thing, but representing a group in prayer has become so full of cliche's that i just want to vomit sometimes.
co week almost every prayer has the phrase "special week of activity" in it.. then there's "please look after the sick and afflicted.".
not so much anymore, "please bless this food and the hands that prepared it.".

@keyser soze YESSSS. Especially when you've been holding your bladder 'til after the session so you don't disrupt the closing talk?! I swear, I've broken sweats during those extra long prayers trying not to pee my pants.

The great tribulation is now coming VERY soon!

's] have anything to fear?
not at all!........at that critical moment during the great tribulation, the angelic soldiers of jehovah of armies will come together to protect god’s people..."[j.w.'s].

So weird how the Governing Body want to capitalize on the Russia ban as a sign of the Great Tribulation being near. I'm sorry, but doesn't our (whoops, "their". I'm still new at fading) doctrine teach that worldly governments are to first turn on Babylon (ie ban false religion) before even considering coming after Jehovah's Witnesses? Seems a bit back-to-front to me. Unless the Watchtower is at the forefront of Babylon the Great. The current GB definitely seem like fame harlots to me.

@Ucantnome You probably had the highest paying job any pioneer could have dreamed of: meth cook. I see Jehovah blessed you with riches beyond Solomon's wildest dreams.

@stuckinarut2 Lmao, don't even get me started on the work I used to do for his father. The way I met my son's father was through work. He took me on as a content writer for his law firm way back in the day. What I didn't know at the time was that he was a raging drug addict. Therefore, working for him was like the movie, Inception. There was no sense of reality, nobody knew what was going on, and midway through, I realized he was unconscious the whole time.
