  I remember people crying while watching it on TV. I had zero emotions I actually remember laughing a lil. Please don't roast me for it as now I see just how precious life is.

  I went about my day at the time though saying at least now they have a hope. I hate that saying now!

  Adding insult to injury when the WT kicks out a congregation from their hall

  by nowwhat? in

  not only does the organization confiscate the hall the congregation owns.

  but then the former congregants are told to continue to pay for utilities and they are still responsible for upkeep and maintenance.

  so they still have to cut the grass etc.

  does anyone else see the similarities between the wizard of oz and the gb?.

  it's kind of like when the curtain is removed and you find out it's all smoke and mirrors.

  plus dorothy wakes up at the end!.

  Let's hope JWtv ends the same way!

  no one really knows where ruthaford is buried.

  there is some word of mouth evidence that he is buried under the garage of beth sarim.

  i think he is under the garage.

  No ! Rutherford is not buried at Beth Sarim. Every Good JW knows he is buried at Jim Beam distillery. That way he can still use the spirits to guide the current JW leaders.

  You basically give up February every year to support an organization that hides pedophiles.

  A few years back I was in a meeting between fades and it was the CO visit. He said something I thought was crazy and a lot of JWs buy into this mentality. I don't remember the talk but he asked this question.

  What if this isn't the truth? He answered by saying that basically you should still be happy to have been a jw for them giving helping you to live a morally clean life.And that it would be something to be proud of. So why would it matter if it's not really The Truth?

  I pondered that idea for years and now I have my own thoughts on that logic.

  My answer is Time , Time is the only possession that cant be bought or sold . Each person has a limited amount. You never know when it's gone.

  I've been trying to put a number on it and it's like this. I was raised in an uberdub family. We made every meeting and every Saturday was service. Studied before all meetings and these are the numbers I arrived at.
  

  13 hours per week

  13x52=676 hours per year

  676÷24=28.16 days per year

  28.16x20years=563.33333 days of my life were wasted by the age of 20 that is almost 2 years gone . It's actually a lot more when you consider I pioneered ,the conventions,preparing for talks,travel time.

  If you are a JW that has trouble finding the time to work and have a life and always feels overwhelmed. It's because you are. Quite simply you don't have the time. While the rest of mankind ages 10 years you age 11 .

  So there is 1 reason it IS harmful to not be the truth!

  What was the EXACT exJW website you first visited and why EXACTLY did you visit it?

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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.
