  changes since leaving the cult

  last time i was there, they had meetings for book study in individual homes.

  now they have them in the halls.. i dunno how it was for many of you, but the book study i went to from...maybe 10 - 15, had "goodie night" on the first weds of the month (my bs was on weds, pun totally intended).

  did they take away one of the last bastions of fun with the move to the halls?.

  that's hard to really pinpoint.

  i pretty much fell out by 2007/8 and stopped attending meetings, but it was a slide well before then as my meeting attendance and all of that was pretty spotty from 2004 until then. that whole period was so f'ing awful i've blocked a lot out.

  i remember telling the elders at the hall i grew up in on the week of my birthday that i was turning 18 before the watchtower meeting so they needed to transfer my cards to the hall i planned on going to because that was the last day i was going to their hall. by that time, they knew how i was being treated so it wasn't on bad terms with the elders that i spoke with as they aren't all demonized monsters. some are really nice, just unfortunately trapped in a cult

  RBIH - the new BOE child abuse letter? If you check the scan, you'll see what's bolded in the original.

  awesome! thank you, i must've missed that. how long does it take for these things to trickle down to the rank and file?

  i remember when they'd read letters from the platform, but i never paid attn

  this seems way too heavy for them to read off the platform without a whole lot of truth massaging

  quick question, are the bolded phrases originally like that in the letter? or was that done to highlight what they're saying?

  Is annual meeting F&DS change a troll?

  by EndofMysteries in

  i went to the reddit site supposedly where the rumor started.

  anybody know that guy?

  unless i see notes, and how they explained it, if it was an hour long, or hear it, it's a troll for the moment.

  So the apostles were not part of the FDS then.

  Nor Russell.

  very slick of them. that "nullifies" anything anyone says about russell being bat shit crazy

  well...it at least nullifies that for anyone who has their head stuck up a cult's ass.

  i'm thinking of rubbing this one in for my mom. i haven't talked to her in a couple months...might be nice to raise her blood pressure some for old time's sake

  to date JWism has defined my life and i hate that TRUTH

  by oompa in

  and i am finding the adjustment to the real world far more difficult than i ever imagined...i f...it has been about five years since i totally woke up to the fraudulant nwt and then all my other doubts i had carried for years were proved true as well.

  but almost all of my few friends are exjw or slack jw's and i feel so isolated...my sons friends are mostly exjw too but not their gf's and they have way more normal friends .

  how have you done at replacing lifelong friends and family?
