friends

in a conversation i had with a jw at the door some time ago he mentioned that their were heaps of apostate websites dishing out false information about jehovah`s witnesses .. i mentioned to him that if they were ex jw`s , so they knew about the religion ,maybe they are trying to tell you something.?.

it just went over his head and that they all had an axe to grind.. anyway i was just wondering if anybody has done a count as to how many do exist in the whole world ?.

even approximate guess-timations ?.

Yesterday's WT slip up

by neat blue dog in

when the israelites left egypt in 1513 b.c.e., they may have numbered more than three million.

spanning three or even four generations.

According to the biblical account this desert wilderness that the Jews wandered around in for 40 years would have been one giant shit-hole of a place.

What about all of the livestock that needed to crap , i`m sure they didn`t go to the outskirts of the camp with a stick ?

And think about all of the urination that would have gone on ? between man and beast ?

My fade. Phase 2.

by Beth Sarim in

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

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 .

Apostasy Movie - Available on Amazon Prime Video (plus Review)

by Simon in

in case anyone is looking for a way to watch it, it's on amazon prime video.. (apologies if it's already been mentioned).

smiddy3

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.
