  In praise of Randall Watters

  exjw's of a certain age will remember randy's site well.

  freeminds was instrumental in waking me up along with ray franz's books.

  if net soup and armageddon okies mean nothing to you you're probably under 30.. whatever caused randy to post what he did recently is something i can only guess at but it won't be what i remember him for.. randy, i wish you well and thank you for all you've done over the years .

  When I began my exit in 2000, Randy's FREEMINDS site was very valuable in helping me wake up. One of the best ex-JW sites on the net.

  Thank you Randy for being one of the early trailblazers on exposing the WT on the internet!

  I'm sure there were many apostates the preceded Randy that I have never known. Kudos to them for having true grit to see the WT for what it was and try to alert others mostly by holding up signs outside conventions in the pre-internet era.

  My Dad wants to study with me

  so my parents continue to pester me about getting baptized.

  the other day my dad told me that i was old enough to make a decision, and was wondering why i wasn't ready (assembly is in a few weeks) so i told him calmly that i have many doubts and if i were to get baptized it has to be 100 percent my idea.

  he was a little annoyed by this, and now wants to study the "is there a creator that cares about you" book (which is complete bs) with me.

  Good for you BW. I think you have a well thought out plan considering your circumstances. Think of the long game. As hard as it may be for you right now to go along and not create waves, you are well ahead of many others like myself who didn't get out until later in life. I was 40 when I left.

  Best wishes. Try to keep the emotions in check.

  Paedophiliac

  by midnight in

  i don't think jehovah likes paedophiliac behaviour .

  has anyone got a reference to an article anywhere that shows watchtower giving council that paedophiliac thoughts , feelings , leanings are wrong ?

  " someone who has an attraction to a child (someone who has paedophiliac tendencies) does not necessarily mean that they have committed any crime."

  No, but they are still mentally ill.

  "There are plenty of productive members of society who are by definition sociopaths or psychopaths, and may have a tendency to harm others but don't act upon those desires."

  No, but they are still assholes.

  Data for Partakers from 1935-2016. Latest number wasn´t this high since 1954!

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  2. friends

  i gathered the data for the memorial partakers every year since 1935 (the first year they had data) until now.. the latest figures haven't been that high since 1954!.

  this stat looks very bad in watchtower land because the decreasing # of partakers was given, for decades, as proof that the end was near!.

  New Light!

  During the "overlapping generations" the number of anointed will increase until they reach 144,000, and then the end will come.

  Trump names son-in-law as Chief White House advisor.

  by AFRIKANMAN in

  donald trump on monday named son-in-law jared kushner as senior white house advisor, rewarding the man widely credited as the brains behind his election but courting serious legal and ethical concerns..

  the baby-faced real estate developer and magazine publisher who turns 36 on tuesday, will be the youngest top member of the administration, working closely with chief of staff reince priebus and chief strategist steve bannon..

  "jared has been a tremendous asset and trusted advisor throughout the campaign and transition and i am proud to have him in a key leadership role in my administration," announced the republican president-elect..

  I am conflicted. On one hand it is not legal, on the other hand, Donald clearly needs a babysitter and President Obama will not be sticking around for that job.

  Will Donald Trump Be Impeached Before His Term Ends?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  2. current

  i'm thinking his willful failure to be briefed by the cia about russian election tampering and not understanding diplomatic protocall.

  making off handed statements without proper research about the mater.

  he's an outsider when it comes to running the government that will make big mistakes at every turn because he seems clueless when it comes to running a government.. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/michael-moore-predicts-trump-impeach-resign_us_58261464e4b0c4b63b0c6dee.

  Some active self righteous JWs may treat you as if your DF for just walking away. I know this first hand.

  Living Vicariously Through the Sheep.

  by donny in

  2. child-abuse

  when i got baptized as a jehovah’s witness in the summer of 83, my honeymoon period lasted about two years before i began to wonder if the society and its adherents were all it claimed to be.

  no of the things i encountered for the first few years was really faith shattering, they simply just made me pause and think.

  after a short while, i would file those issues in the back of my brain files and move forward.. .

  My sister was married to an elder in the congregation. After they got divorced she told me that when they had sex he wanted her to pretend as if she were other female members of the congregation and he would call her by these other sisters names during sex. I have no reason to doubt her story as he moved across country shortly after the divorce.
