So proud of you Sweetie! That is why those of us that were 'in' then leave are dangerous and a threat. I believe that is why they have to call us apostates 'mentally diseased' and liars.

A sad day for a JW- they lost a study 'cause of me.
by Gojira_101 ina few weeks ago i posted a topic about a deaf woman studying with the jw's.
the deaf preacher from the woman's parents church contacted me to know more about the jw's because the parents were allowing their daughter to study with the jw's because "they are such nice people.
" anyway the deaf preacher contacted me because he knows i just left the jw's last year and he wanted information.. i was more than happy to provide it.

Thanks for listing this, because Los Lunas is just on the other side of our mountain about 70 miles away. We don't know this Michael Brunner personally , but we do know some of the Brunner family.
WOW

If not the worst, then definitely in the top 3. I don't know of any other religion that is causing so much world wide damage to families over a shunning policy.

YOU'VE GOT TO LAUGH!!
by The Searcher in"all of our teachings are based on the bible, not on the writings of some religious leader in the united states.
"1 thessalonians 2:13. http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/not-a-sect/.
all of the teachings (i counted 8) which have been reversed in the july 15th watchtower were based on the bible???????????.

UPDATE: on the pirate publisher that was selling my book...
by Newly Enlightened inback in may, i had a friend email me after the release of our jwstruggle video and tell me that the book i wrote and had published was all over the internet and some of you requested that i keep you up to date, so here goes.. i hired an attorney to write the publisher a letter.
they stopped selling hard copies and the digital copies of my book but have still not sent a full accounting of how many of my books they sold and reimbursed me and are now ignoring my phone calls and attorneys letters.
so the lawyer suggested that since it is difficult to sue internationally, i call the local office of the fbi.

Thank you everyone. It's been a very stressful year. My family shunning me just makes it worse. But what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger. It is called "The Devil's Triangle' ISBN# 9781591460015 Terry. there is not much that I would have differently. But just a few suggestions. File for your Copyright right now. www.copyright.gov/ They will have you sent them or email a copy of your material. It costs around $35 I believe. Apply for your own ISBN # instead of letting the publisher do it for you. Now, I would probably self-publish, because the minute you send a publisher your digital file its on their computer. Like me, they sold out to another publisher and it accidently got sent with the rest of the files. I found out that my book was all over the internet back in May when our 'elders meeting' video was released and someone emailed me and said that my book was all over the internet. Just like with identity theft, there is only so much you can do to stop the damage. Scary21: In case I missed your first post and didn't welcome you, WELCOME to the forum. Yeah, you would think that it would be easier and cheaper to pay me what they owe me instead of facing a $250,000 fine per felony count [1 for hard copies and another for digital copies]

You may think that you have not contributed much, but I find you honest, realistic and quite humorous. Some of your posts have made me laugh out loud. You will be missed and enjoy our new life away from the cult.

So the lawyer suggested that since it is difficult to sue internationally, I call the local office of the FBI. Yes, VERY scary. So it took me 2 weeks to get up the courage so I finally called them. Very nice agent. Took all the information and said they would assign an agent to my case and look into it. That warning at the beginning of a DVD? is real and they take it very seriously as copyright infringement. He then gave me the phone # for the Federal Trade Commission & the Federal Customs dept. So I filed complaints with all 3 agencies and they will look into it and told me to hang on to all the evidence I gathered because it is a FEDERAL offense to pirate a book and sell it, then when it is over the U.S borders into Canada, it then becomes a Federal CUSTOMS and Trade Commission fraud.
YIPPEE! I hope they go after them damn pirates!
