i had two episodes of visiting exjw websites:one time around 2007 when i just googled "jehovah´s witnesses" and dared to look at those sites.
i was scared and i promised myself i would never come back to them.
however, that one didn´t really count.the moment that woke me up was this:i got to know that whitney heichel was a jw and murdered by another jw, because i overheard that conversation in a kingdom hall.i looked up the news and in one of the news comments, there was one where an exjw was complaining that they were hijacking her funeral and they were really trying to downplay the fact that her murderer was a jw... and then it said "visit jwfacts.com"... which i did.and the rest... is history.what exactly got you onto an apostate website when you woke up?
Watch the tower was the first one I saw. But jwfacts and JW survey years later were the ones that made me see the full scope of it all. The only thing I got from watch the tower was the un scandal . The site was what you were taught to expect from apostate sites.
When I watched Cedars videos it was less in you're face . He really is talented at waking people up I think. It has to keep the GB up at night trying to figure out what to do about him.
i have just watched the glass smashing on the wt video on education.. please consider these experiences from the opposite side of that "coin".. i have heard young ones say out-loud on the mike in the kh that "jehovah is my special friend.."these ones who were at the top of the wt 'tree' pioneering, putting in the hours etc but, it followed that soon saying that pivotal statement they dropped their pioneering, faded, picked up the girl/boyfriend and suffered being dfd.. so where did their wt "education" leave them?
it left them as young adults naive to the world, unskilled, with no qualification to offer any employer and having to replace their former family/associates/friends with new ones.. ( dont get me going on shunning) in some cases with little success as we have read here where they moon about for months or longer unable to emotionally heal after the leaving or df'ing and also others with such a turn around they would never have believed it possible... there was a wt that related how a brother (!
) followed an interest in history and left the truth.
I wonder how many of the bethellites that had college degrees they laid off. Compared to the uneducated ones.
Hypocrites!
will you avoid nike or tend to not buy apparel because of their support of colin kap?
would you stop doing business with anyone simply because you disagree with their politics?
in california, in and out burger, democrats were being told not to support the chain because they donated to republicans.. will politics affect your spending habits?.
I don't usually get all worked up and boycott anything. Still like Nike Cuz I grew up on them no idiots going to change that. I was closer to boycotting them over the child labor than over Colin only thing I boycott is WTBS .......Anyone else find it fitting that the last 2 initials are BS?
for you who have read my bio you will know i have been working on my wife to wake her up.
now i won’t call her awake yet but through a series of long conversations this week i revealed to her my dissenting toward the jw faith.
she was totally supportive of me assured me she would never think differently of me because of how i feel.
Congratulations! We are in a similar situation my wife's on the right track just not quite there yet. Good luck!
i saw a topic on another forum where a sister was supposedly carrying the mics.
i was curious if this was even possible?
is it new light or just a lie?.

Why troll doubter? I don't go to you're hobbit hole and try to disrupt you. I left that place and don't care to go back.
I have always felt it shovenistic the way everything in the religion is handled.

i haven't been to a kh in decades, so i get the google alerts for jws and i got one featuring a local news channel in brooklyn covering the assembly being held in flatbush, brooklyn.
i'm sure that venue is where the circuit assemblies are usually held, keeping in mind it's summer and that's when the district assemblies are being held.
why are they acting like they're so strapped for cash and now holding district assemblies in circuit assemblies locations ?.
Where I used to live they went from a big venue with plenty of seating to a terrible one where there are NO seats . We were an hour early and people were walking out because it was full.I had never seen that happen before .
The seats were uncomfortable to say the least and families couldn't sit together. It was 2 seats here 1 seat there....Awful.
Now looking back I'm sure it was to save money.Everyone was saying greatest ever and I was like get me tf outta here.
as a "deep pimo" i can say that there is a confirmed re-branding.
the coordinators committee formed a focus group from service and teaching committees.
the results of that group roughly three+ years ago, with gb approval, trickled down to the other committees and eventually into what we have been seeing before our eyes in the org and local congs.. pick an organizational level and see the shift.
Thanks for the new light Beth Sarim :)
this isn’t a usa question.
is your financial situation better or worse or pretty much the same?.
