*warning this is long* it all started on the last day of the "remain loyal to jehovah" convention.
a little background story, i've been raised as a jw, been in and out of the religon, never baptised but was made an unbaptized publisher about 3 years ago, always felt out of place in the congregation, blamed myself for this because if i had just went to meetings and did all the right things then i would have friends and not be in the mess that i was.
right after becoming an unbaptized publisher i met my now fiance, end up leaving my mother's house to live with him, elders haven't contacted me about my situation even though i'm sure they know as my step father is an elder...but anyway on the last day of the convention my fiance came with me as i was visiting my mother and had planned to go with her and her husband to the convention.
Your not alone my friend. It is a cult. I got out three years ago. You will be just fine. The people in the JW cult are brain washed so don't take anything they do personally. This songs lyrics helped me as I was leaving the cult. attached the link on YouTube.
P.S. Thank you for sharing your story it will help many.
this is a inspirationally great song for those who are escaping and have escaped the jw cult or any form of cult.
i know it has truly aided and helped me.
does anyone know if lauryen hill or her family was a former jw, from the lyrics it may seem so.... https://youtu.be/0hdztvh8mvw.

Cofty your top 5 misconceptions about evolution post, from the website science alert was written by Fiona Mcdonald.
Do you endorse Fiona McDonald? Do you even know who she is?
Is it illegal to think differently from other posters than yourself? LOL
Is this website controlled by people who haven't put their elders hat away yet? LOL
News Flash! Once you leave JW world, no one cares if you have differing beliefs, but it's seems some on this forum are stuck in a JW mindset of controlling others thoughts and beliefs that are differing from your own. I could careless if you believed in a Flying Spaghetti Monster or not. Your thoughts and beliefs are yours, share them or don't share them, I don't care. It seems you do and I sincerely wish you all well with that type of mindset. Cofty It seems that your B.S.- belief system is a lil weak...

Cofty No and No. You are an adult, I hope, and can read, choose and buy what you want, like every adult on this planet.
There is an Ad as I type on this website that wants me to buy a $499 ADT security system. Cofty do you endorse ADT? Cofty do you recommend ADT? Your argument is weak and has gone over my head, I have nothing to do with endorsements or recommendations. I am not your father, who needs to say yes or no... LOL
Cofty it seems I have hit a nerve with you on this subject, have I opened up a Pandora's box for you and put a wrinkle in your B.S. - belief system?
jw version: teaches (brainwashes) you to use principles, choose, select and be conditional with love.
in other words you can't just love everything and everybody but you have to be picky with love "supposedly" because jehovah is picky in who he loves and allows to breath and live upon the earth... ok.... .
12 a·gaʹpe refers to love that is guided by principle.
It's the positive and negative, ying and yang, past and future, young and old, man and woman, night and day, winter and summer, spring and fall, big and small, up and down, water and fire, hot and cold, white and black, light and dark, life and death, good and bad, happy and sad, kind and evil, carom and wicked, love and fear, heaven and hell, God and satan...
Duality, you can't have one without the other... It's just science and the universal laws, not a loving Diety in the sky to give you life or an evil Deity under the ground to burn you up forever. The truth is metaphysical not biblical. The governing body and all religious leaders use the scam of religion to control the masses just as every other religion and or cult.

If you understand evolution so well, then you should understand the solar system and how it connects to the universe, a microcosm of the macrocosm, as above so below... Evolution is just the tip of the iceberg. When your able to look past evolution then it will make sense to you.

lol Stand by those claims? I never claimed anything... I posted an article on why religion is a snare and a racket. The rest of the information on that website has nothing to do with me, and or what I do or do not believe in.
Cofty I see you posted claims about evolution... Do you stand by those claims?

BW very true. The governing body has turned "Jehovah" into their very own version of The wizard of oz where they are pulling the strings and levers from behind the curtain of a very elaborate and convincing fairytale (Ponzi scheme) to the average unsuspecting and under educated JW, who are forced into serving and following (The Governing Body) "Jehovah God" from infancy in most cases! The governing body is the "real" "Jehovah". The name Jehovah is used as their alter ego or as their figurative superman suit. These (7 or 8 I lost count) senile old men are inspired by not "Jehovah" but their own delusions of "truth" (koolaid) that they have been pouring non stop down the throats of their sadly delusional, horribly mislead and misguided followers. The organization is what they hail as their conditionally and selectively "loving" spiritual paradise, more like a spiritual hell! A paradise from which once you join, you are not allowed to leave, or else you'll be banished, shunned and DFed from your family and friends for the rest of your life and lose the delusional prospect of everlasting life from Jehovah... You couldn't dream of a better fairytale story... Sounds like the movie The Beach with Leonardo DiCaprio but at least they don't kill their followers, but some may say they do... because they kill the wills, minds and hearts of their followers so figuratively they are like zombies or the walking dead.
