Would you give your life to get your family out of the Watchtower?

i asked this question as part of another thread but i thought i would ask it in a new thread.

if there were some way to assure that your death would result in your family and friends learning the truth about the wts would you be willing to die to 'save' them?

Question about reaching out to old friends
by zamzummim in
1. jw

hi all, i have a quick question about reaching out to old friends you used to know.

i was able to do some research on the internet and came across the name of an old friend of mine from when i was a jw.

there was actually quite a bit of information about his life and he's no longer married to the woman he was married to when we were both part of the org.

i used to belong to a congregation in stockton called quail lakes.

i also had some very good friends that moved out to lockeford and one couple moved to sacramento.. if you're from that area circa 1984-1990, please email me.

i would really like to find out if some of my old friends have "seen the light"!.

i am relatively new to the board and have to say have never had such a heartwarming welcome from so many people!

it feels so comforting to make new friends that "understand" where i have come from.. i have read many many stories, and have sat back in awe....wow, what stories.

mine is quite simple, but none-the-less my story.

A Plea For Responsible Reporting
by hillary_step in
1. jw
2. friends
many hundreds of people read this site who are not subscribed, and i would suspect that the vast majority are jw's looking for answers to an internal turmoil that they may be living with.. the information posted on this board does get read and then passed among many congregations of jw's.

this information is a powerful force and is a wonderful thing for those who are seeking to be informed, and a not so wonderful thing to those in brooklyn who are seeking to harness the boundaries of knowledge.. given this scenario, and how much credibility can be lost by xjw's who perpetuate gossip and innuendo, can we check our sources and facts very carefully before we post information to this board.

there is no particular nobility in being first with news about some aspect of wts life.

what better way to join the board than jumping in with both feet?

(sorry if it's too long).

my experience is somewhat similar to the ones i've read here.

all scriptures were also looked up and read.. elder h is a very prepared brother.

some of you may remember the post about the un-invitation card which is sent to da/df persons who have previously been invited to a wedding.

the un-invitation card tells them not to turn up!.
