  after being a jehovah's witness for 52 years, today marks my 20 year anniversary of being out of the borg!

  i turned in my letter of disassociation on september 18th 2001. it was read to the congregation on september 19th, my wife's birthday.

  of course the years have had its difficulties but it has also had many wonderful experiences and epiphanies.

  Lamallcool, yes the september broadcasting on jw.org

  He said so much more about money.

  Main argument is "Jehovah wants your money".

  1995 generation change

  by Gorb in

  now, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.

  it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.

  with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.

  @slimboyfat

  For me it was a personal experience that I never expected to go through.

  That time there was more change, the blood fractions, the involvement with elections, the sheep and goats, and the introduction of jw-media.org and the WW2 history departement.

  James Pallechia, Jolene Chu, J.R. Brown, to name some.

  Crazy times!

  What I hear is that under JW's, these doctrines are not longer talked about.

  No issue anymore, they do only small talk these days.

  I just read the november 1, 1995 magazine and read the article including questions from readers.

  Remembering how they blamed indivuals believing and speculating about time frames, building a firewall for the organization.

  (Later on Splane made a new timeframe, The Fred Franz lifetime parameter.)

  In 1995, I, 4th generation member, became cynical, somehow depressive and started thinking, leading to higher education. Now, 20 years later i'm happy about that.

  Jw wife and children are now free too.

  It took a lot of pain and headache, all my dna was shaken and stirred.

  We had discussions, read Ray Franz and others, and then came the internet, Hourglass2, xjw.com and jwd. Our own watchtower Berlin Wall came down.

  And then came 9/11.
