it's hard to believe it was only a little over a year ago i received my first official rbc assignment.
i was so excited i posted about it on facebook, to many likes from my fellow jw friends.. fast forward to this year, learning ttatt and fading (last meeting was the memorial and special talk).. i've received my fourth email, in the past two months, asking for rbc help.. stifling urge to hit reply all, with a jwfacts and candace conti case web link.... isn't it amazing how much your life and worldview can change in 1 year?.
I loved life before. I love life now. Kinda like that quote about being married...if you aren't happy single, what makes you think you'd be happy married?
I've always had issues with JW things, but was still in the bubble. Stepping out of the bubble has been eye opening and faith shattering...and I'm okay with that. My mapp used to say, "Life is what you make it". It really is :)
I choose to look at the positives of being raised as a JW.
i'm going to this church and taking a course called "breaking free" by beth moore!!!
it's amazing!!
god is extremely good!!!
Good for you.
I second the comment Satanus Made.

Doc, how true :)
Oh, I should have initially added the email was for us to update the BA site with our skills, languages and passports.
Also, the email said they are looking for help for Warwick (we are in Forida).

I'm fortunate that my entire family lives quite a few states away from my daughter and me. I'm a very socially active person and I finally let the non-JW girls that were always there really become closer to me. They have been an amazing support to me and show more concern for us than a single JW ever showed.
Snare&Racket, I like that quote. I had wine bottles engraved with labels that symbolized my freedom, in my most recent (and first to be celebrated) birthday month: Carpe Diem for one and "to thyne own self be true" for the other.
If you are leaving JW and don't have a support system I HIGHLY recommend finding volunteer opportunities. You'll have fun and meet some likeminded people.
Yes, some will smoke and curse excessivley or be annoying religious, but part of moving on is re-educating ourselves and opening our minds. Think of how many Americans are asleep Sheople and be happy you escaped And can now question everything!

when you look at the image above what do you see?
a sneaker or an outward display that i am now following after another religious group?.
well yesterday i had a 10 minute conversation with an elder who finally got the balls to call me.
Wow. Speechless.
been going nuts looking for this.. i am sure i have read, and probably saved, a quote by them about not being false prophets but i am buggered if i can find it anywhere in search, google or my own pc.. can you help?.
i think its 2009 but not sure, where they have the line 'never have we said ''jehovah has said'' when ...'.
a link or pdf or scan or cut n paste, etc would be great!.

wouldn't it be nice if they said 'you know what, we've made millions in property sales recently, lets donate a couple million to a philipines relief fund..'
ten vans full, probably just for jw's.
DS: Exactly what I was thinking. Someone posted what looks like the same info that Barbara posted back on page two. All the JW's that commented each used wording "praying for our brothers and sisters". Just to make a point, I used "ALL in the area", in my comment. I doubt anyone got my innuendo.
haven't posted anything here since my first post almost 5 months ago (you can read it here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/experiences/255032/1/great-roi-successfully-fading#.uopjv-kdzyi), but i'm lurking around here almost on a daily basis.. short update:.
- all jw's on my part of the family are fully awake about ttatt and have fast-forwarded into 'fading mode'.
they are missing meetings, no longer go out in field service (but still send a fictious time slip at the end of the month), have missed the recent assembly.. - my father is now an ex-elder.
Congrats! Very nice news to read! Keep us posted.
6 months or so ago, me and my wife decided we will never set foot again in a kingdom hall.
about 4 months earlier than that, i stumbled upon an article about the wts being associated with the un.
that got me into finding out ttat eventually.
Welcome, great first post!
"notjustyet" makes a valid suggestion. I had moments, when certain news events made me panic a tad, but continuing to read more about cults and science has overruled any worries about leaving JW.
