about to move from ''irregular'' status to ''inactive''.. after 6 months of not handing a field service report since the end of june, i will be recognized as ''inactive''.
there could be 'questions' coming my way.. after having read ''crisis of conscience'' last spring, i could no longer ''actively'' preach or believe the wbts conscientiously.
i could no longer fake hours by putting the 'slip' in the field service box.
With a lot of us it was a slow gradual fade and even after I left 15-20 years later I thought bugger it I need to DF the organization from my life.And that`s when I sent in my DA letter to the last congregation I attended .
And I felt free .
Handle it in a way that makes you happy and remember what our friends say here
"they have no control over you unless you give it to them "
Take care
when the israelites left egypt in 1513 b.c.e., they may have numbered more than three million.
spanning three or even four generations.

I thought the Israelites were slaves in Egypt ? How is it they left with all of this camping gear ,pots & pans,and all of this livestock with them ?

The more these experiences first hand accounts get attention through sites like this the more exposure the WT ?JW gets and the more people become aware of that the Jehovah`s Witness religion is just not another harmless mainstream religion , but one with dangerous cult like practices that need to be avoided at all costs .

Thank`s Barbara for posting this ,i hope it helps many more people to look at the religion of Jehovah`s Witnesses whether they be current Jw`s or relatives of JW`s or just interested persons looking for something.
It should give them something to think about before committing themselves to a religion that has all the red flags of a cult religion .
in case anyone is looking for a way to watch it, it's on amazon prime video.. (apologies if it's already been mentioned).
it's not what I'd describe the movie as really being about apostasy as such but that's maybe just my too-specific terminology kicking in - a broader interpretation would match.
So how would you have named the movie Simon ? to maybe reach a wider audience ?
I thought the movie was excellent the way it was handled and very realistic.
From my own Australian experience of 33 years of self imposed captivity.
so proud of this counter that i made!.
very simple yet shows the estimated amount of people that are living that are from the generation of 1914, defined as "all the people who were alive, even just barely being born, when ww1 started".. here's what i assumed:.
10% of the 1.7 billion people alive in 1914 were infants, just children.
10 or above at the time WWI started - 6 left
That`s the time frame I remember when I was in and my wife and I were told our children would never get to high school .Both of who have been married with kids of their own .
banks create money “out of thin air.”empirical studies have been undertaken to prove this thesis and this is the conclusion:.
in the 5,000 year history of banking, banks have been thought of as “deposit taking institutions which lend money”.. 1. what is the legal reality?
banks don’t take deposits and don’t lend money.the public is under this false impression on purpose because the language of banks is not legal language.. so--what is a “deposit”?a deposit is not actually a deposit.
I`m with stillin I`m learning something also, economics not being my strong point.

Australia is currently undergoing a Royal Commission into the banking sector and would they be aware of this ?
Would it make any difference to them ? If they did ?
Or is this just the way things are done and nothing to see here.
thanks for the post Terry W.
just beyond frustrated with my jw mother.
she’s a prescription drug addict.
she’s been that way since before i was born.
