Good for you! You and your family will enjoy it. We joined it right before we faded because it has a few swimming pools and so many other great programs.

of course, i joined it for the gym.
seriously, the best deal in town for a whole family membership that the gym actually allows tweens and teens to exercise in classes and on machines.

Integrity over living a lie....
by Happier inhey to everyone here... so i have never been one for writing much of my feelings down for other people to see.
this however has become so important to me and i may be able to help someone who dares go looking for answers some place other than the jw.org website.
first of all i would like to thank anybody and everybody who had the courage enough to write their experience in the organisation.

Welcome Happier, I am happy for you that you escaped the abuse of your step father and also the religion. You are young and you have a wonderful future ahead of you. Getting out while you are young is such an advantage. Continue to do reading and research about the religion to help you get all the lies out of your mind. I hope you are able to go to college or have gotten a good trade. We are here any time you need to talk.

UPDATE: on the pirate publisher that was selling my book...
by Newly Enlightened inback in may, i had a friend email me after the release of our jwstruggle video and tell me that the book i wrote and had published was all over the internet and some of you requested that i keep you up to date, so here goes.. i hired an attorney to write the publisher a letter.
they stopped selling hard copies and the digital copies of my book but have still not sent a full accounting of how many of my books they sold and reimbursed me and are now ignoring my phone calls and attorneys letters.
so the lawyer suggested that since it is difficult to sue internationally, i call the local office of the fbi.

I hope you can get some justice from this. With the Internet it makes this easier to do.

Well I gotta go......
by punkofnice in...i might drop in every now and then but i hope you all enjoy life, escape the watchtower(r) and live prosperous lives.. i can't say i contribute much here anyway (and i'm not attention seeking).. i'm just going to get on with life away from the constant reminder of the mistakes i made being a jw zombie drone.. i guess i'm just going to fade.......rather quickly.. of course i didn't need to make any posts here to disappear but i thought it'd be polite and very british to bid you all a fond farewell.. see you all sometime.....maybe.....maybe not.....maybe....... bye!.
ps.
don't pm me as i won't be checking the pms.. .

Punk, I am going to miss you. You bring a lot to the table whether you realize it or not. I also know that many have to move on to continue to grow while others stay because they have the desire to help those coming out. Sometimes it is difficult to stay because it can keep the anger coming back but we all have to do whatever brings us peace an happiness. I hope someday your family will be out with you and you will have a truly happy family life. Don't give up because you never know what someone will say or do that will cause your wife walk away.

I am glad you bumped this to the top Open Mind. It was beautifully written and it made me sit and think of those that are special in my life. Clarice is a special lady and we would all do well to live life to the fullest like she did. I am happy to hear your family is out and you are together!

Backseat and 3rdgen wouldn't it be nice if we could void our baptism! I am sure many people ish they could do that.
Wasblind, you were very smart you didn't do that.
Ucantnome, I am sure many can't remember much about that day either.

classification of Jehovahs Witness members by when they joined up
by besty injust got to thinking how long can the watchtower peddle the 'soon' story with any credibility?.
i would say there are the oldtimer or born ins in the 70+ age group - they possibly remember the 2nd world war, and maybe joined for 1975 or made life affecting decisions meaning they are so commited with 'nowhere else to go' that they have surrendered to the resurrection hope.. then you have the '1986 international year of peace, the 1914+70 year' generation crowd.
people in their 40s and 50s now.

For me I was a convert and I had an education and came from a great family but I know exactly why I came in. I was young and moved 1600 miles away from my family with a brand new baby. It was hard to make friends and I ended up divorced. I met my current husband and he was disfellowshipped at that time but his mother and best friends wife got ahold of me. She took me to social gatherings (weddings) and I was love bombed and I instantly had all of these friends because my hubby was a born in and they were one of the original families in that large city plus his grandmother was a very beloved anointed special pioneer. I do agree with what Simon said because for the most part that is true. The last few years I even told my husband I could hardly stand them any longer because they were scraping the bottom of the barrel with a lot of the recent ones coming in.
One thing we see and it is so sad, is the real old timers. My mother in law is in her mid 80's and she was brought up in the religion and she heard all of those talks and was told she would never get out of school or have children and now she has great grandchildren and none of that has come true. She is very depressed because she never thought she was going to die and most of her close friends have died and she is having to face reality that she will die too. My parents on the other hand live life to their fullest and have everything planned out and are enjoying life. It really stunts your life when you live with this fairytail that isn't coming true.

The Divine Peace DC held in the Astrodome in Houston, TX. He always wrote the attendance and the amount baptized so on that day there were 30,894 in attendance nd 531 baptized! I looked at the program and busted out laughing because in it was a section "program points I plan to use". He had written all of the items for lunch and the amount of tickets they were! He laughed hen I showed it to him. He said that was one easy and fun job he enjoyed doing was handing out the food so he was memorizing the wht each one cost. I remember those conventions as being fun but that changed quickly when we moved and had to go to the Vet in Philly! Times sure have changed! Anyone else have info from your baptism?
