Yes, I felt okay looking at it while I was doing some research on JW's and mental health. Personally, it didn't feel as "wrong" to me, as sites like this where it was open commentary. As I kept reading more information on the site, I thought, these points cannot be right. Let me prove just one point wrong and I'll never look again. Well, as you see, this is where I ended up. Thank you jwfacts.

Did reading Jwfacts help you? Please take a moment to say thanks..
by The Quiet One init seems as though so many of the stories of people who are now mentally free that i read on here involved reading jwfacts.com at some point along the way.. he basically saved my sanity (questionable, i know!
), and was never as sensational and garish as other sites which immediately scared me away.
why not take a minute out of your day to say thanks for any difference that jwfacts made to your life, and tell us what it was that helped you?...

3rd Oil Spill This Week
by designs inexxon, shell, and canadian pacific railway all had oil spills reported this week.
exxon and shell's oil spills were from ruptured pipelines and canadian pacific had a railcar accident.. the exxon spill flooded streets and the yards of homes outside of little rock arkansas and the shell spill occured outside houston texas near the vince bayou.
residents of the little rock community never knew that high pressure pipelines ran under their homes which is a disturbing fact being discovered more and more.

I posted on my Facebook about this on my Facebook and how infuriating it is to see so many spills. People seem so apathetic, it's sad to see.

Julia, maybe ask hubby about the funding issue. Talk made it very clear that you are on your own if you head out...getting visa's, contacting embassies, finding lodging etc. So, the talk mentioned us donating - where does the money go, if everyone is essentially on their own, as mentioned??

I saw it today. The talk after was torture. Monotone speaker and complete repetition of the video broken down as if we were 6 years old. Btw, how old was the little girl that got baptized? Looked 8 years old to me. To top it off, I was behind a young sister with a blended family of three, whose hubby was handling the microphones. She seemed to despise HER eldest by making cutting remarks to the child and visibly crushing her spirit. Acted fake nice to hubby's little girl yet coddled THEIR new baby. Even the sister I sat with commented "she sure seems overly annoyed by her children". They were all well behaved, not making a peep, the entire meeting. So glad I woke up a few months ago!!!

My friend from 40 Years ago
by Lady Lee inwhen i was a young jw and all the other young jws were avoiding me because i was from "that family" i had one young girlfriend who didn't care.
we were both not well liked so we hung out together.
she was my maid of honor when i got married but we lost touch because soon after the wedding we moved to "where the need was great" to help set up another cong in our hall.

Nice to read that you reconnected and it went well. I just got in touch with a group of girls from when I was a tween. They have all left JW world, but I don't know each one's story yet. One lives a couple hours from me, we both moved far from home. I'm looking forward to seeing her over the summer. Her husband was an elder and left, too. It's been 22 years since we've seen each other.
Glad you had an enjoyable time.

If you don't hear from sojae, I'm interested and will pm you. I was starting to wonder about the library, as every "apostate" book I've searched for isn't even on their database.

Local needs talk
by hoser inone of the elders was missing his service bag and suspected that one of the publishers stole it.
he was determined to root out who did it so he decided to give a local needs part on the ten commandments focusing on you must not steal.. he enlisted the help of a trusted ministerial servant and got him to stand at the back of the kingdom hall during the part.
he told the ms that he would read off the ten commandments and when he got to the one "you must not steal" he would pause longer than usual and see if anyone acted nervous or suspicious.
