True, Stan, but my dad is dead, and my mom was indoctrinated from birth as well. She is not evil, she is a victim, too.

That’s why I want to be first on the list on a class action lawsuit against the WT, for our lost opportunities, ruined childhoods, etc. They need to PAY!

QUITTING QUIETLY here is the Canadian version of the document
by gone for good ina while back, i suggested that an easy, quick, quiet exit with the signing and dating of a concise and irrefutable document would spur faders and pimos to preempt the elders' interference by quitting quietly first , before a fade or a confrontation.
here is the document .

Just a thought...didnt the WT society come up up with some nonsense recently that they don’t have “members “, just individuals. How can you quit something you aren’t a member of?

How many TRUE BELIEVERS do you think are left in the Organization?
by pistolpete ini have a few jw relatives who are true believers.
by this i mean, they believe with all their heart that 1914 was the beginning of the last days, that this is the last generation, that we are in the very last of the last hour of this system of things, and that you should obey the governing body even if it does not make sense.
all of them are in their 60s and up into their 90s there is nothing you can say or show them to convince them or even cause a small doubt that the wt is not god organization.

Had a conversation with my elder dad in 1976. I told him then (I was 16), that they were false prophets. He told me no, they just “ made a mistake.” Sigh

I lost a normal childhood, and an opportunity to go to college. I’m a frustrated teacher. I also lost opportunities when young to sexually experiment much more than I did. Too much guilt.

Human imperfection, church policy or hypocrisy?? Watchtower vs BMG
by lssjr inthis new lawsuit continues to compound undeniable evidence that jehovah’s witnesses is keener in monopolizing "the truth" or making "kingdom assets" an exclusive right, so that they can interests of their "king, jesus christ".
it is clearly evident also the they are willing to fight for frivolous and materialistic rights they believe they are entitled to, but when it comes to child sexual abuse issues and their role, they certainly love to twist and hide behind law, to escape blame and responsibility.. below is the full text from https://avoidjw.org/en/news/watch-tower-bmg-music/.
the court documents are also available for download in the aforementioned link.. further commentary can also be found on watchtower sues bmg rights management over aled jones song.

More JW left ideology examples
by neat blue dog inthe latest gb update ramps up the fear of the plandemic even more, and introduces a whiteboard animation that advocates staying at home, wearing masks and social distancing.. https://www.jw.org/finder?locale=en&category=latestvideos&item=pub-jwb_202012_12_video&docid=1011214&applanguage=e.
then there's another 'save the planet' type article that mentions debunked and unrealistic green new deal-esque talking points such as alternative energy, switching to a plant based diet and less manufacturing.. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/peace-happiness/save-earth/.

I have such sad memories growing up, knowing all the kids I knew were getting gifts and having fun family time, while for me it was a sad, dreary day. I used to have a fantasy that I would wake up to a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, with gifts, and my parents saying , “Surprise! We decided to quit being witnesses! Merry Christmas!” That never happened. I vowed to myself that I would NEVER bring a child into the world to feel that way. And I didn’t. The joy of seeing my daughters happy face on Christmas morning is indescribable, and now it carries on with my grandchildren. Btw, I bought an impulse purchase at Costco, which turned out to be the highlight of his day. A little hovering toy. He LOVED it. He went to a birthday party last week, and the birthday boy got this. My grandson was so jealous, he wanted one so bad. His parents said maybe for his birthday. There it was, from Grammy and grandpa. 😀
