i was an elder in prescott for many years... anyone now out from there?

Hi ducatijoe , It is very nice to meet you. Welcome to JWN. If you feel up to it, and you would like to, tell us a little bit about yourself. Only what you feel comfortable with, though.
FYI after you post, you have 30 minutes to edit and or delete. Just use the little yellow pencil on your upper right.
Arizona is a beautiful state.
You can use the search feature to find out if anyone else has posted about Prescott. Just type it in and click.
How did you become a JW?
I hope all is well with you and yours.
Take care.

I drink the "Nector of the Clouds" no bottling required. Stays at an icy cold temperature 75 feet below the surface in it's original aquifer packaging. Delicious, and it is chlorine and gluten free. lol

a father's day commercial for bass pro came on and it got me thinking.
it said, "remember when your dad took you camping and taught you how to fish?".
so i started thinking about my childhood and what the commercial would be like for people like myself.. it would go something like this:.
OMG these are sad.
i must admit i can at times be a little "egotistical" when it comes to knowledge and the bible.
i have studied the bible for so long and have always had a passion for the bible as a jw and as an ex-jw.
i guess that is all i have left when it comes to religion and as humans we do tend to stroke our egos.
booker -t When I learned TTATT I was going through a bad divorce. I feared for my life. My Elder's were not helping me. My whole world was crashing. A few months later, after posting and reading here on JWN, it came into my mind for the first time, that all of it (religion) was a con game and full of lies, including the Bible, Koran, Book of Mormon. The bad people will not get any judgement. They will just die, like all living things do.
I leapt forward in understand life, that day.
Is today your day to leap forward in understanding about life, the Bible, silly stories, religion, prayer, etc ?

on a recent thread about the fleecing of the sheeples, one poster said their congo was down to 85 publishers from 102.. the last hall i attended had 80-odd publishers 20 years ago, now only 30.. how much of a decline at your kh?.
westiebilly11... Exactly. How do we know WT has not manipulated the numbers?

i am going to throw down the gaunlet.
those who know the truth but stay in anyways are complicit in actions of the jehovah witness organization.
while i am sympathetic to the very difficult choices that they have to make, their unwillingness to confront the jw enables the organization.. some of you may remember my story.
mrhhome , I do hear you and you are in a sorry state. I cannot turn the clock back for anyone. Most of my life has been as a WT/GB controlled drone. Once I woke up to TTATT, I was out of there because the knowledge that I had been swindled out of my life, is hard to take. It made me physically ill and I cannot stand liars and those who trick people out of their lives so they can live the life, they want . And that is directed not just at the GB but also the Writing Dept, Legal Dept, Service Dept, and all the Circuit Overseers and District Overseers and pious, demanding Elder's who want good hearted, humble people to look up to them, and obey them, as if they speak from God himself. No. You do not!
I appreciate how hard it is for those who know TTATT and have to sit through meetings with their loved ones... until their loved ones can wake up, and they can all leave together. I think that is commendable.
Personally, I want to know what collossal screw ups WT/GB is doing this week. lol
I also enjoy hearing ones posting on JWN as they are sitting at a KHall or assembly. That is quite funny.
I vote for having spies in, to advise on what is really happening behind the wizard's little curtain.
Those spies are hero's in my book.
