  BBQ with a Dozen Old ex-JW Friends last Saturday - Good Times!

  last saturday an old jw friend was visiting the area from florida.

  we had reconnected with another friend from the old congregation - a man raised a jw but who had to deal with being gay and all that entails for a witness!

  at any rate, we had a terrific bbq with a dozen ex-jws who used to be in one congregation together, but now live all over the country.

  Here's an update to what has happened since I used the words, "Big News," five years ago

  as many of you know, i made the "big news" statement when kerry louderback-wood's scholarly article about watch tower's blood misrepresentation that was published in the journal of church and state was just about to be published.

  i was excited about it because lives were at stake and weve never had such an article before to be able to use to show how the watch tower misrepresents the blood issue through its literature and people die because of it.

  Hypocrisy 101 - Watchtower has Payed for College/College Courses for Bethelites!

  no you did not read the title wrong.

  i was out to eat this weekend with two bethelites.

  one gave a talk in my hall and i was invited out to dinner with them by another family in my hall.. as the conversation always turns to "spiritual" things, the subject of education was brought up.

  a lot of talk has centered around information dispensed at the recent km schools.

  many brothers feel there is a "tightening up" taking place.

  i had a recent experience that you may find interesting.. after the meeting i was working with our cobe on some congregation tasks when out of nowhere he said, "have you looked up any extra information about higher education since the km school?

  Some Conclusions I Have Reached

  by AllTimeJeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i wonder if everyone here who has kept up with me since i left jw's realize why i have been coming on here.

  it certainly has been cool to know that some of my experiences and opinions have helped some.

  i hope they know that i have been equally helped by others.. i come here primarily for me.

  The Gradual Change From Worshiping Jehovah To The Worship Of the Governing Body

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i first began my misadventures with jehovah's witnesses in 1972 as a youth(18 years old) and was baptised in that same year.

  i was young inexperienced and they caught me at a low point when i was weak and looking for god to solve problems.

  being raised as a catholic and going to all the religious indoctrination up to the point of confirmation, i guess you could say i was indoctrinated from birth to believe a certain way which left me vulnerable to the jw propaganda.. fast foreword to the time of my departure in 2001 february.. for a couple of years (late 90s) before i left i started noticing out right lies in the wt publications about their history and the luster that these magazines used to have started to fade rapidly also around that time i really began to notice the gobs and gobs of praise they were bestowing on the organization and the representative members of the so called faithful & discrete slave(gb).
