Me too, always wanted to study physics but I was brainwashed and pioneered for 4 years after high school.
I'm taking physics now :)
just wanted to share with you some good news i'm really excited about.
i have been accepted for university to study psychology and counseling.
my goal is to become a counselor and, in time, to specialize on treating those who have left high control relationships/groups like we all did.. it'll take a few years before im qualified but studying in university has been a dream of mine since i was 12, which was systematically dashed to pieces by watchtower.. .

i think getting them to agree to a private place would give you an edge (even if the egde of their sword closer to home).
if i'm ever hauled before their kangaroo court i will only go on one of three conditions .1 non jw venue .2 with legal representation .
3 the recording of proceedings.
Im treated as a DF person even though they never took the action.
Stuckinarut this is kind of perfect. The people who really cares about you won't stop talking to you since there's no announcement. The others, I suppose you don't miss them.
Oh man, I so hope it goes this way with me.
what would happen when the man on the picture below, would ring the bell at 1. kings drive in texudo.
" the guard asked with a routine smile on his face.
"maybe i can help you, i presume?
JEsus, We waited soooo much for you!
Take this razor blade and come back here after shaving this worldly beard.
PS: You may leave the moustache because of... reasons.
i heard this expression very often and even said it often myself.
now that i am out, i realize this isn't always the case.
there were many times i was going out in service saturday morning and couldn't wait for 12:00 to come along so that we could go swimming, bicycling, play basket ball, go to the beach... .
That's normal, The service is much more work than religious behavior. We may kindo of like our job, normally because we think of the reward, our wage in this case. The JW also consider this a job and their wage is now the feeling that they are ok with God, since no elder will visit them to talk about spirituality if they work many hours on the field. There's the most important wage for them that is their hope to live forever what they are taught they are securing this by the preaching work.
one of my children got disfellowshipped recently.
i was worried about that some of my jw friends and jw relatives would mention it to me and it would make for awkward conversation as i am glad that he is out.
i went to a jw family gathering.
I have a disfellowshipped person in my household and it's the same. Even the eleders only refers to him as "the chap". It's incredible, even when they send regards to the family they mention everyone in the house except him, in order to make clear that the regards weren't to the disfellowshipped.
i honestly believe he has memory difficulties, him and mr letts iq is not much greater than a rabbit.
no the rabbit wins..
Morris and Lett are making me belive that somone else but the GB is running the Watchtower Corp. These clowns certainly need help tying their shoe laces in the morning.
Meet Don Adams.
ps> From the GB I see Geoffrey Jackson as the most articulated and appearing to be intelligent.
the babylonian empire didn't start until assyria was finally defeated in 612 bc.
then as we know babylon supposedly destroyed jerusalem in 607 according to wt.
before jerusalem was destroyed babylon had taken jerusalem and taken prisoners including the king and deported them to babylon and then according to ezekiel at 33:21 twelve years into their captivity a man from jerusalem came and told him the city had been destroyed.. ok so how does jerusalem get conquered 12 years before 607 when the babylonians hadn't even become the major power yet??
That was one of the things I told my mother that definetely bothered her about the Org. She passed days asking me more information from the internet. She got to the conclusion herself that the only articles that defends WT position is the WT's. After the initial thrill, she came back to the routine and forced herself to forget it probably.
after learning the alphabet no other education required.
history would be distorted, science rejected.
i'm surprised that gb didn't realise there is big money in education, big tony could be the professor of bullshit..
Actually they would teach kids how to read and do maths.
Science, ok but Skip evolution
Languages, ok but Skip hebraic and greek
History, ok, but Skip history of the religions on 19 and 20 centuries.
The rest of the time schedule would be mandatory technical courses on jobs based in handworking.
Each class, one would be sorted out to take Law school in order to have lawyers to defend them.
Each class one would be sorted out to take Med school to advocate pro Blood ban.
Each class three would be sorted to take Engineering in order to build their 'Cathedrals' - Bethel branches.
Everybody would have to take sales course.
he was all for getting rid of religions and their delusions for the betterment of mankind.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mydmc1wio8.
Ok, Marx is Russell
Rutherford is Lenin?
Knorr is Stalin?
i would like to share my brief experience about my life from liberal jw to a ex-jw.
as i told you in my first post, i'm from juarez, mexico.
i'm second generation born-in, well not really... my mother knew jwland in 1968 and a year later, she got baptized.
For the last few years I have been relearning my math and physics to help my children.
That's the best one can do. Learning what makes us feel good. And I'm sure your kids are making you proud with their develop.
