  Beautiful sentiments! I'll be doing that this year, when I celebrate my first birthday and cut my long hair for locks for love.

  Hi everyone !!!

  i am durden.. a teenager that is an unbaptized publisher and is trying to leave this damn cult !!!.

  i have been lurking here for some time and i decided to start posting with this intro.. im from europe, both my parents are jw's, my parents are both teachers (math teachers).. my parents are "softcore" jw's, they accept all my questions and try to answer them.. i am trying to "convert" my dad (an elder which might complicate things), me and my dad recently had various discussions about the org ("discussions" on the good sense of the word).. we talked about jehovah in the nt, 1975, 1914, gb in 1st century, the cross, "new lights" ..., you know the usual stuff.. and all is going well i think, i think i can "convert" him until the end of summer.. i mean is a logical man, what can go wrong ?

  man, when i found jwfacts it was like my world had collapsed, all thoses lies .... but its good now to have found the truth.

  Welcome! My teenager's lack of interest in "the truth" is part of what led me to reprove it to myself, expecting her to follow suit. I learned about cognitive dissonance, logical fallacies, and the JW pedofile issues in the process. Asking questions is the best approach, it seems. I'll be facing my parents this summer since I've learned TTATT and am a bit leery of how that conversation will go. The key seems to be utilize questions and scan JW info from legitimate newspapers, which you can do online. Then, you have a basis for questions from non-JW sites, which they will have to answer. Glad you found this site!

  Fascinating. Thanks for the research Marvin Shilmer. What an excellent topic. I'll have to think of a way to incorporate this in conversation with JW's. it amazes me that anyone in the writing committee stays in the organization.

  LGA tends to have many delays. Price doesn't seem too bad. Did you check Orbitz, Priceline and JetBlue? Depending on where you are ultimately going, JFK is easier to get in and out of, IMHO.

  All the news I've read says he was instructed to stay in the vehicle. Florida is full of vigilantes and it appears, from all reports, GZ acted as one.

  Welcome. I look forward to hearing more from you. The child abuses issue within JW world bothered me quite a bit and after the Candace Conti case I realized I couldn't be "proud" to be a JW anymore. There is much support to be had here :)
