i dislike long topics......so here it is.. i suffered for my religion, now it's your turn.. when i first left the corporation my life exploded into a suicidal chaos.. my family broke up.
i lost my so called friends.. luckily, i had worldly friends from all walks of life that supported me, even though they had no idea why i was so suicidal.
in as much as they hadn't left cults.. i went from the corporation to a baptist church.
That is awesome!!! (not the Black Death part, but your band)
The 70s and 80s saw some incredible music from English composers. I had a thing with Jimmy Kaleth (lead singer from Jonesy and Gold) back in '10. He's in Brighton right now. Still on friendly terms : ). Don't want to hijack your thread, but have to share this oldie from Jonesy:

Dare I ask, what was your first STI? The Plague?
PS: Which genre from the 70s??? You're tapping into my world, now...
it's rachel from new zealand here.
i am currently helping a nz journalist source potential interviewees for a short documentary she is making about child sexual abuse issues among jws in new zealand.
nothing of this nature has been seen in the news in nz before so this is quite exciting!
Hey Rachel, I'm forwarding this to a New Zealand contact I have. Hopefully he and his wife can assist : ).
we are off to the convention this weekend!
the program will be full of informative and faith-strengthening information.
here is the program:.
My heart literally sank harder than the Titanic when I saw that headline. Asshole.
in case the picture didn't load.... i'm referring to an elevator with a (quite common) weight capacity of 1,500 lbs.. would the 7 members of the governing body exceed this weight limit??
david splane: 195 pounds.
stephen lett: 205 pounds.
@punkofnice Fkn lol. Mark Sanderson is probably bald because his wife kept harassing him to lose that extra five pounds, so he just shaved off all his body hair.
As for boobies... you know how Baywatch was iconic for Pam Anderson's tits? JW Broadcasting is renown for Mark Sanderson's C-cups. What I'd give to see those puppies jiggling in slow motion.
i learned today that a "brother" from my former congregation has been arrested.. the rumor mill was in overdrive (you know how the jws are), my ex-wife and a pimo member filed me in just an hour ago.
both gave 95% the exact details so i take it as legit.... when i used to do sound desk there was a brother in his late 40s/early 50s who for some reason always had a tan and always sat at the back of the hall.
he was a loner, i used to feel sorry for him so would make small talk while i was setting up the sound desk and he was sitting there.
He can kiss that tan goodbye in prison. His head deserves to be more than photoshopped on somebody else's body.

@punkofnice You wouldn't say Mark Sanderson is large? Look at those stumpy fingernails:
I bet this gravy-sweating, fat f*ck deep fried his hands before biting those nails.

Anyone wondering where the new headquarters is, it's just off the coast of Mark Sanderson.
with so many negative things occupying our minds as ones who have escaped the society, we need to focus on positive and upbuilding things.. this clip is wonderful.

contrary to all we were told as witnesses, most people in this world are truly lovely, sincere people.
Loved this. Everyone, put down your IG and phone and just LOOK the other person in the eye for a minute. You'll feel something inside that no amount of "likes" can give you. I swear, technology has done a real number on people's souls. Nuke the cellular phone towers!

i'm just curious to get people's views on this.. the bible students seem to start of as quite a liberal group under charles taze russell, albeit he had some whacky teachings going on.
obviously things began to change under rutherford.
but what decade did it become abundantly clear that the society was indeed high control religion or even labeled a cult?.
@LisaRose William Schnell became a Witness back in the 1920s and woke up in the 1950s, so that supports your point. Even back then, folks were realizing all is not right with Watchtower.
His book is 30 Years a Watchtower Slave. I've never read it, but I'd say it was one of the earlier books on awakening and exiting the cult.
