Well, when I realised it was all BS, I also made the choice to stay and play along. I would never be able to convince my loved ones about ttatt once I leave. So like JW GoneBad I love being a pain in the ass

His book Sapiens was a big eye opener for me. His explanation of the existence of other human species and the agricultural revolution makes so much more sense than the Genesis account. He wrote another book "21 lessons for the 21th century which is also worthwhile". Worldy wisdom makes sense!

Faders Needing a Great One Liner
by Solzhenitsyn inso our family fade is well under way.
we changed congregations as regular attenders and left in good standing with those giving hugs and kisses simply knowing we "needed a change".
we moved to a neighboring congregation that is out of our original region knowing we would see no one and the two boe's wouldn't really have immediate dealings.

I respond with telling how I started to doubt reading about all the killing in Jehovah's name in the Bible for dubious reasons. How Moses life was saved from a cruel Pharao killing the baby boys and how Moses did the very same thing later with the Midianites (Nu 31)

“Do You Know the Time?” From WT Sept 2018
by skin inthere is a one page article in the current wt study mag, sept 2018 pg 22 with the title “do you know the time?”.
in that article it describes a number of different ways you can say the time is 1:30. it goes on to say “there are even places where that same time could be expressed as “half two,” meaning 30 minutes before two”.
what i would like to know is this, where in the world does “half 2” mean 1:30?

Films with nudity
by neat blue dog ini guess every jw has a different conscience on the matter, and i don't believe any jw publications have ever specifically mentioned nudity in film as being off limits.
of course genitals are out of the question because that's usually relegated to r movies which most good jws don't view.
female toplessness is condoned but not spoken about, as most jws i know have seen titanic and many own it.

Nudity and sex are not ok, however violence and war are not a problem to watch. Look at the Hezekia movie.

I'm interested about the pinanta festival in Mexico though. Are witnesses participating in it?

"Governing Body Procedure," a secret rulebook
by john.prestor inin crisis of conscience, raymond franz reproduces a letter sent to him from someone representing the governing body in which they thank him for returning the text, governing body procedure.
franz says nothing about this text any other place in the work, but i've been trying to track it down, because it sounds like another confidential manual like shepherd the flock of god.
i doubt it's been leaked (i'm shocked, pleasantly, that we even have circuit overseer guidelines, the confidential manual used by circuit overseers) but you never know.. is anyone else familiar with this work?

Venting, Wow, found out just how indoctrinated my wife is
by goingthruthemotions injust had to share this, tonight we had a heated conversation about the religion.
she said everything they teach is 100% true and any mistakes are cleaned up and corrected, that the payouts for the child abuse is not an issue even if its taken from donations.
because, she believe 100% the org knows what its doing.

I see something good here:
She said everything they teach is 100% true
I was once convinced like that too. I had the idea in my mind that the Bible is infallible, because it said so. So in the end when I found out it was not, it was all clear to me. One failed prophecy, one contradiction, one time Jehovah did not follow his own principles and the book proves to be just an ordinary one.
And the same with the org.
So if she is that convinced, she might just need a little spark of light one day.
