As someone in the "truth" once said to me if anybody doesn`t want to know me or talk to me I take the upper hand that I don`t want to know them or associate with them , they have the problem not me.
And I remain with a positive attitude in life.

Pondering the real numbers
by Deltawave ini was sat in the assembly hall yesterday, wondering how many pimo ones like me there was there.
or even if they don't know ttatt still don't believe it for whatever reason.. i think there must be more of (us) there than we all realise.
i mean, brothers reaching out is at an all time low, information via the internet is at an all time high and the preaching work has now become a motionless, speechless babysitting of a book shelf advertising a website as someone here pointed out!.

I think it`s a lot easier in today`s world to learn TTATT and newbies and lurkers are finding it out a lot quicker than before the internet was invented.
It took me quite a few years to get where I am today but it was certainly speeded up once I got on the internet and all the information that was forthcoming about JW`s in particular and about the Bible in general that I hadn`t thought about before .
You guys were a Godsend and now I`m an atheist

My Dissociation letter
by TJ Curioso inhi to everyone!i was summoned to the judicial committee and went.
it was a respectful conversation from one side to the other.
in the end i handed the dissociation letter in hand and a binding to each of the elders, with an article i wrote on the subject, "are jehovah's witnesses a destructive sect?

I think your letter was excellent well written from a christian viewpoint.Personally I have a problem with the name Jehovah in the Christian Greek Scriptures that you quote in your DA letter however.
I would have made the point that the Tetragrammaton or the equivalent Greek letters representing the Tetragrammaton / name of God does not appear in the Greek text that the WTB&TS use for their basis of the NWT of the Greek Scriptures .
See the Kingdom Interlinear Of The Christian Greek Scriptures a word for word translation of the Greek into English published by the WTB&TS .
That name Jehovah / Yahweh nor any other name for God does not exist in the Greek text.
None of the Bible writers of the Greek text use any name for God and even Jesus never used a personal name for God
Jesus never uttered the word / name Jehovah and he certainly had more than one opportunity to do so had he thought it was of any importance.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Good-bye Jehovah (poem)
by SunnyOne026 init has been several months now, since i learned ttat and the shock and grief is slowly lifting, although some days are harder than others.
after 40 years a devout believer i guess i should not be surprised that the transition has been challenging and the losses immense, and i am sure very many of you can relate to my struggles.
i frequently read the posts on here and my heart goes out to all of you, who grieve and struggle each in your own way, and i wish all of you continued courage and peace.

It`s more than likely "Theocratic Warfare" in the making tell the non JW world what they want to hear and tell the Rank and File what they must OBEY.
Isn`t that what they do with the public WatchTower magazine they give to the public and that same publication they give to dedicated Jehovah`s witnesses the Rank and File is somewhat different from the public version ?
Jehovah`s Witnesses / Governing Body speak with a forked tongue ,what they say to the Rank & File members is not what you will hear spoken to the general public.
The sooner Nations and Governments recognize this the better and it`s up to us to make sure they do see the deception /obfuscation the Jehovah`s witness religion employs.
