42This is my name, I was a witness, and this is why I will never be again.
by wanderlustguy inthanks to this site, not only am i free of the mental imprisonment, but i am also free of the fear that the society used to keep me and others like me silent.. i am not a witness anymore because the truth is not what we are directred to think it is.
once we allow ourselves to think, it is clear as day that there is no real basis for anyone to take the title of faithful and discreet slave.
there are folders and lists which contain the names of pedophiles who were never turned over to the proper authorities for their crimes.

How much of the Damage do you hide here?
by KW13 inits true many of you, myself included come here and express how we feel, but do you ever disguise how damaged an individual you are, even in real life?
sometimes i wonder (aside from here) whether people really can grasp what it means to have grown up in a world that means nothing now and isnt even relevant.

personal rant..
by zanex ini received a rather pointed reminder that the co's visit is more important than family that has been gone for a long time and is only around for a brief time...but oh no..cant miss out on the co visit..eventho he says the same thing every year and does the same friggin thing every year...sigh.... i am trying to get past a lot of the old feelings...but i am reminded of the power that the wt has upon its followers...sigh.
some things got easier when dad died...and some things got harder...anyhow....i bet that the co's visit is the same droll waste of gas going to the meetings with revitalized gusto or desperately wishing to be in the same car group with the co...what a waste...but my family gets somethin out of it.... i however am doing quite good...it just pains me a bit to see two of the most important people in my life be led around by the nose by a flawed system that makes them act the way they do...nyhow.... -z-.

Do ASL dubs recruit more aggressively than other dubs?
by truthseeker inasl = american sign language for those who don't know.. i read a recent post on dubs knocking at doors and asking if anyone knew asl.. here's my experience.. .
i attended a jw sponsored asl course about 4 years ago in a neighboring congregation.
there were about 15 students in total.. the lesson was not to exceede 3 hours and afterwards we would go straight out into service.. the lessons were fun and we were given homework assignments to learn the various signs etc.

Has Shunning Caused Anyone to Miss Seeing a Parent Before Their Death?
by jamiebowers inreading about the passing of wings' mom got me to thinking.
my mother has shunned me completely for the past 20 years with the exception of three conversations about health history.
if i outlive my mom, the probability is great that she will die without me ever seeing or talking to her in any kind of meaningful way.

Well guess who just knocked on my door....
by Ima Apostate inof course you know the answer... how ironic.
i swear, jehovah's witnesses only come when i'm hanging out in sweatpants and a tank top with no bra on.
if i am wearing a bra, they don't come.
