Well I do not post here very much and usually what I have to say........well...isn't that important! But......I am the proud grandmother of twin girls as of August 10! I am so proud of my daughter, who is 25, just gave birth to twin girls.........No painkillers........Nothing! She is amazing! What am I more proud of? NOT raising my kids a Jehovahs Witnesses. I was disfellowshipped in 1984 so I NEVER went to a kingdom hall or assembly as a Mother. There was never an utter from me about God while raising my kids, and if they wanted religion then, well they were on their own! They turned out GREAT! And that is all I could have ever asked for. I am pretty sure I raised atheists unintentionally, but I always believed they knew the journey to God should they need him. I am so in love with my grandchildren, it is JUST LIKE looking my own children in the face, I never knew I could love these babies as much as I love my own kids! This is the most important step I have stepped in my life! I so love MY children, and I love my grandchildren as much if not more! The disconnect that the JW religion wants followers to have, well, not here in my life! But I have more hurdles to jump, and with the help of this forum............I will get there! LOVE you all and am looking forward to help in the future!

of course, i joined it for the gym.

Are you thankful to know TTAT or not?
by laverite ini am so thankful that i was able to learn the truth about the truthtm (ttatt).
i owe everything in my life to having left watchtower corp: my education, my position as a college professor, being able to write and publish, travel, family life, my beautiful children, being able to be openly gay -- and happy.
unlike those closeted homosexuals in the truthtm, i do not have to be afraid to be who i am.

NEW BIBLE RELEASE
by The Searcher inhad a brief chat with an elder from a distant congregation today: long story short - he has spoken to "someone" at london branch regarding the 'famine' of bibles within the org, and was told by this "someone" to just wait until nearer the end of this year.. he said it sounds like we're going to get an announcement via the annual meeting!!.
i said that it was strange that two world wars, the spanish 'flu, the wall street crash & the great depression couldn't stop the society producing bibles, so something major must be causing it now.. does anyone have any more info on the new york court action against the wtbts and the nwt writing committee?.

So are new converts supposed to used old recycled bibles? Isn't it part of thier charity status to give free home bible studies? No bibles...No status!

Role Reversal: Placing 1969 Awake with JW's Manning the New Portable Literature Displays
by snapdragon4 inin recent weeks the jw’s here in the uk have been setting up their new portable watchtower literature displays in my local town square on a saturday morning.
as they hadn’t knocked on my door for at least five years, and consequently feeling somewhat neglected, i thought that i would pay them a visit instead.. .
the first thing i needed to do was arrange my literature.

Education Double Standard
by Tech49 inthis is the kind of thing that really burns me.. .
wtbts holds out an extreme double standard in regards to education.
most, if not all, of you know how they feel about obtaining an education past high school (in the u.s.).

Hi Tech49,
Thanks for sharing that, I think this being read by those lurking young and old alike will benefit. Everything the GB does seems to have an agenda that benefits themselves. My hope is that any and all JW's strive for higher education. It seems they are "cherry picking" humans as well.
