when waking up it often isn't an instant switch, there's a period of time when your conflicted feelings are heightened and most uncomfortable.
can anyone remember specific instances in the time before you fully woke up that made you uncomfortable or guilty, despite you still being a 'believer'?.
i can think of two right now, both about a year or two before i woke up:.
Hi All
For me it was an instant click and the pieces fell apart. I remember it was with regard to a convention, then 3 more letters read about it at the same meeting. That was it for me (wont go into details).Immediately took myself off the Jdub grid so to speak. I wouldnt encourage anybody else since about the religion period.
Peace.
what did you make of the conventions i used to dread them.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6bhlhtbaos.

the wainui-o-mata hall is closing and from 01 february they will be relocated to the 200 seater hall in newlands.
johnsonville is merging with the wellington west congregation and will be known at wellington central also to be located in the newlands hall.
wellington east will remain in the hall in kilbirnie at this stage but rumour has it that this hall will also be sold and they will make up the third congregation sharing the newlands hall.
Yes there is "so much growth" in lawsuits and they need the funds for it.
and has finally succeeded in burning one to the ground.
.
Lets see who will cough up the money to rebuild one, insurance company or the Borg....not.It will once agin be naive local attendees. Better still the Borg will rake in the insurance money and ask the cong to use another hall nearby. Kaching .

another mind-numbing edition with instructions on how adult jw's should be conducting themselves as "christians.
i did like this paragraph though - after some reading between the lines:.
page 11, par.
Here goes Nothing
Gods so called Organization has made many so called adjustments in recent years, including the use of so called new tools and methods in our so called ministry,the format of our midweek meeting, and the way we so called build, so called renovate and so called maintain our KHS.
Hope you get the joke.

due to my work, i've been traveling quite a lot in south of europe.. i still have a lot of contacts within jw and exjw and i'm surprised in my conversations, most of them are very concerned regarding sexual abuses scandals in their area, either italy, spain and other countries.. one of my contact high ranked even told about the craziness in some branches south of europe regarding that matter.
it has been confirmed that several scandals are being judged on court, but some other ones has been closed paying a large sum of money.. any confirmation from other sources?.
i never fully realized it until i was just about out.
i adopted the attitude that “if mother says so, mother knows best!”.
it took me a long time to conclude they were actually a cult.
Vidiot Just keep sharing ,different strokes for different folks. Chin up mate
jw`s were in my area for the first time in i don`t know how long.i`m in a regional area.
anyhow i was walking down my driveway with the purpose of going around to my outside fence to spray poison along the fence boundary.. across the road were two witness ladies talking together on the opposite side of the road and could clearly see me coming out of my house.
i proceeded to rake away newly mowed grass to better expose the area i was going to poison along my fence.. when the two ladies ,maybe 40`s and 50`s ?
Personally , I worked very hard to help save peoplle, I used to write letters to people to share the truth with them , share the resurrection hope with people from the obituary columns. Have many experiences where the gesture was not only appreciated but studies were stated and some became JDubs.
I would take every opportunity in my territory too so much so that everyone knew me and when brothers and sisiters would be knocking they would say ZNMD teaches us the Bible.I was happy to be popular for gods work like that thing I am bring glory to God.What a waste!
Prepared my bed so lay in it.
Peace
