  so, this will be a time of much confusion.

  being a born in, and wanting to celebrate my first christmas is confusing, nerve wracking, and difficult to comprehend.

  how have others dealt with there first christmas after leaving?

  Taking the Step

  by beardfreedom in

  2. friends

  first time posting after years of reading, the things i have learned here have gradually helped to open my eyes to the reality of this religion.

  though i have been mentally out for some time, lately i have stopped going to meetings and service.

  the elders are calling and i have been ignoring them, i am trying to get up the courage to finally break free and never go back.

  takes all the congregations funds promising new kingdom halls.

  but instead starts selling off kingdom halls ..then makes faithful old brothers and sisters drive 20-30 miles to another one, and .kicks out half the bethelites for only only tech savy college educated ones.can barely afford to send out printed publications anymore.

  JW Carts Cause Thousands to Start Studying!!!

  by Drifting Away in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i would love to know the stats of how many hours were spent, standing by a cart, or sitting at a local town fair with jw table tent set up, compared to the number of bible studies started that led to baptism since the inception of the carts.

  anyone have any idea?

  if i had to guess i would say thousands of hours pent standing by a cart, and maybe less then 5 that actually got baptized.
