  My story of becoming a circuit overseer after Kin Suen visited our congregation.

  here is my story of becoming a missionary after having kin suen (pronounced “shin”) as my circuit overseer.

  my father wanted me to go to college, but since he wasn’t a witness, i knew he just didn’t understand how close we were to the end.

  i had actually become a circuit overseer!

  This is an amazing experience! Someone with a YouTube channel should interview you! So glad you woke up, and your children won’t have to suffer with this BS.

  Reddit thread - ‘Organization Finally Suggesting to Plan for Retirement’

  this information is supposed to be in the upcoming march wt.

  (i don’t go on jw dot org).

  it would sound like they are hinting at a change in thinking.. in my opinion, any such change would be yet another slap in the face to faithful pimis along with those other recent changes.. there are so many heartfelt responses on that thread and a lot of justified anger.. don’t know what to say except that i’m so glad i never listened to the religion all those years ago.

  Yes, some of us didn’t buy into all their BS, and got jobs instead of pioneering. In my case, I HATED D2D so much, there was NO WAY that I would pioneer. Within a week of my HS graduation, at 16, I had a full time job. Good for you, too, LHG!

  here is a great story about a disfellowshipped man who fought his in laws, his wife, and his wife's boyfriend, and other jehovah witnesses, in order to win custody for his son...........and won!.

  you will like the outcome.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/1he2emz/i_used_the_blood_shunning_issues_to_win_custody/.

  I read it on Reddit! Great experience for him, gaining full custody of his son is remarkable! More and more exposure of their toxic teachings is very important in the courts! The more public information available is awesome! And these judges are being educated on these terrible policies that harm people.

  Last night my husband and I attended a Christmas concert at a church, which both of our grandchildren were in. It was in a beautiful church, festive lights and all. The children recited poems, recited scripture, and sang all the lovely Christmas songs we all know, Silent Night, Joy to the World, etc. Then, the children recited poems, in a large group, recited ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. There was a cookie reception after. Lovely evening.

  Your First Christmas Tree, Christmas Lights, Other Christmas Decoration/Custom

  as someone who never grew up in the shadow of the wt, i love reading accounts of people who began to wake up and think that the wt wasn't all that it represents itself to be*.

  and especially when they see that the things that they were told to avoid were harmless at worst, and quite often fun.

  christmas is a prime example.

  I bought a small tree for my little apartment my first year. When we bought a house, we got a bigger tree. I also married a Catholic, his family embraced me. My daughter has the fun memories I never got. 🎄🎄🎄 Merry Christmas, everyone!

  recently, there was a rather accurate report on jw on german tv station "sat1".

  you find it on their streaming service joyn.. https://www.joyn.de/serien/jenseits-des-glaubens-zwischen-religion-und-verblendung/1-2-die-zeugen-jehovas.

  there was one piece of information that was new for me: a former bethelite explained that he realized that he was gay.

  i couldn't get back to sleep last night, something my father said a few weeks ago popped into my head.. we were talking about obtaining citizenship, he doesn't need it, but was contemplating what benefits it could get him now he's a pensioner.. background : i've been disfellowhipped for 15 years, i was born in, he is an elder, very much pimi, he was also born in.. i said to him how citizenship would be difficult for him as it would require him to swear allegiance to the state?.

  oh he said, thats just a crowd of people together in a big room for the swearing in event, it would be easy to just mumble or say nothing, nobody would know.. this has quietly been eating away in my mind, why did it bother me?.

  last night it hit me, when i was in my first year of school, age 5, i came out of school one day with a balloon with two little pencils attached, a gift from a classmate who's birthday it was, every child got one.

  Sea Breeze, I would really like to meet you sometime! I think we have much in common. From some of your other posts, I think you live in Arkansas? I’m in Illinois.
