First Post - Introduction
by Syme inthis is my first post on jwn, and i would like to take a few lines to introduce myself.. i currently am still in the organization, though my conviction in the last 1-2 years is more or less agnostic/atheist (closer to atheist).
i am an ex-elder and mts graduate, having served in another 3 congregations, apart from my home one.. the reason for the above-mentioned conviction shift has to do with science and rational, logical thinking generally, and with the grand theory of evolution, specifically.
it took me long, endless sessions of hard reading and study of serious scientific literature (plus cross-matching all the quotes and claims in jw evolution-related literature), to finally make the shift from utterly firm religious belief to doubt, and then to lack of religious faith.

The 'sisters' here on the east coast of Australia often say that when the great tribulation comes the plan is that JWs will head en masse for the west to the desert areas... Why? Im not sure but theyre always talking about heading west where no one can harm them lol. I wish theyd hurry up and make fools of themselves out there so normal people can have their jobs and homes lol.

I love teasing them with a trolley full of xmas decorations or buying a birthday cake in front of them, when they say something I always say its not for me, its for my neighbour or work. lol Ill never let them get the upper hand they are just nobodies with giant egos.

MEXICO | Jehovah's Witness Family of 8 Massacred including three Children
by jwleaks ineight family members killed in mexico massacremexico | november 17, 2013. mexican police found sunday a family of eight, including three children, stabbed to death and tied down in their home in the northern city of ciudad juarez.. a two-year-old boy survived the attack and was handed to neighbors, local police said.. the chihuahua state prosecutor's office said the assailants apparently forced their way inside the house and killed two men, three women and three children between the ages of four and six.. their mouths were covered with duct tape and their hands and feet were tied.
neighbors said they heard gun shots but authorities said the victims had stab wounds.. neighbors said the house owner was a car salesman.. the family was supposed to attend a meeting of jehovah's witnesses when they were attacked inside their home on sunday morning, according to testimonies.. they were discovered dead after members of the congregation went to look for them.. ciudad juarez, which borders the us state of texas, was once the deadliest city in mexico amid a turf war between drug cartels.. more than 10,000 people have been killed in the city since 2006 but the murder rate began to decline in 2011.. local officials say the drop in violence is due to tougher policing and crime prevention programs, but security experts believe it began to wane after the sinaloa drug cartel defeated the rival juarez gang.. read latest breaking news from newsmax.com http://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/mexico-crime-murder/2013/11/17/id/537112#ixzz2kziajt8f.

My Mums biggest fear was that if you missed a meeting God wouldnt protect you and you would end up dead.
I sure this will be the excuse for some of the weirder Dubs, should have been at the meeting, shouldnt have been inactive, must have been wrong doers etc.

I have personally been in over 15 congregations and visited way more all over Australia and found the same weird mentally unstable freaks in every one. Not many genuine, normal, decent JWs left, its all just a race for their own salvation and screw those who get in their way. The karma is that the panda petting paradise is a load of crap.
