So heads up to everyone, I'm the "former sister" she's been talking to. She liked some comments I posted on Instagram when arguing with another JW about doctrine lol. So she decided to PM me and we've been talking since. As she mentions she has a christian boyfriend who also helps her see how jw doctrine doesn't coincide with the bible. She is realizing alot of things but is still researching alot of things. I believe she's definitely in the process of waking up, nevertheless it's hard because it's all she's ever known and her family are in. I know most of you can relate to this confusion, and the stuck between a rock and a hard place feeling... Please send encouraging words!

Sad news from the Spanish Front
by Hecce ini think the majority of forum friends are aware of the existence of a vibrant watchtower opposition in the spanish field.
for about 13 years the extj forum was probably the main instrument for that endeavor, sadly the couple sponsoring that site decided to close it at the end of last year.
it seems like they were overwhelmed with personal obligations and responsibilities; they were covering a 100% of the expenses without any outside cooperation or publicity.. after the closing of their forum, some of the friends started new sites to keep the flow of information alive.

That is very sad, I imagine it's much harder for ppl of other languages to wake up. For one, they may not have any apostate forums in their language, or even a computer with internet..depending where they live. I was from the spanish congregation and even though we live in the USA most of these ppl don't know how to use the computer or speak English. Also the Spanish Watchtower library doesn't go as far back in years as the English one. And there is no Spanish translation for books like Millions Now Living Will Never Die or The Finished Mystery. These books have helped many to wake up including myself!

Griffin Assembly Hall (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) now a Megachurch
by Sanchy inmy mom, while pregnant with me, was one of thousands of jw volunteers to work on the construction of this once beautiful assembly hall in south florida circa 1984. it had a beautiful pond, waterfall, and even a resident alligator.
many remember it as well for it's huge plaster murals on the walls showing scenes of paradises.. pics as it was before (sorry for the low quality, struggled to find good pics of the auditorium as it was, if you have any good ones, do share them):.

I remember the sisters in our hall literally crying when the elder on the platform announced this Assembly Hall would be sold. If only they knew what it has become! All the hard work that all the jws put in making this hall so beautiful....wasted and sold to Babylon the Great!

I asked my son to stop playing football.
by The Rebel ini asked my son to stop playing football.
it was a simple kick about he was playing with a friend using the garage door as the goal.
i then went to my home and thought no more about it.

Good lesson. Thanks for sharing! And yes I think we all struggle sometimes with explaining ourselves accurately because we assume ppl know what we're talking about or the reasons why we say something. That applies in everyday life as u mentioned.

A Believer
Honestly no one here has the time or desire to teach you the truth about Jehovah's witnesses. To each their own. I pity ppl like you because you think you have something special but in reality your walking into something that's going to end up traumatizing you if you ever do realize it's not the truth. You'll see how loving all your jw friends are if you ever decide to leave. Good luck!

Walking away will get you D/Fed
by Drifting Away insomeone just told my wife, that those who are just leaving organization or not going anymore will be dfed, has anyone read that or heard of that?
i have seen nothing of that, and according to jackson at royal commission, we are free to go as we please...

No unless you walk away and openly do things they consider bad. You have to be careful and hide if you celebrate anything or go to other churches or talk negatively about org because then your spreading apostasy. They say your free to walk away but that's a lie. Because the moment you start living your life the way you want they disfellowship and take your friends and family away from you.... You don't have a choice

To love Jehovah more than friends and family.
by schnell inwhen i was a believer, i endorsed this idea too.
i commented with things like "love jehovah more than your mate" or "love jehovah more than your friends".. it didn't occur to me as i was saying it that jehovah is an idea.
this god concept is an idea that should really pass scrutiny if you're supposed to love it more than anything else.. at best, this means that jehovah is real and you have to love jehovah more than the people in your life, no matter the despicable things he is said to have done, condoned and endorsed in his holy writ.

Love this post because it's so true. And I dint have to feel pressured anymore to saying that nonsense... Cuz i never really felt it. I had to say my baptism day was the best day of my life...better than my wedding day or when my kids were born. Really? Does anyone who days this really mean it? I wonder....

That's beautiful! My hubby hit his one year mentally out mark last month and I woke up first week of March. That's the best present in itself I think. Can't ask for anything better than my life!
