I'd just like to state that if JW member numbers are down to a measly 3-4 million, than that is what they were at around the early 1980's!!! JW's used to brag about 8-9 million members, with 20 million peak at The Memorial.
They are TANKING!

JW's need a good dose of "shock and awe." It stuns them Awake! from their slumber.

Were you born in 1978? If so, I was born in 1979. Isn't it crazy to be almost 40 in this System of Things? Being raised a JW, we were promised right from the podiums that we'd never get to be this old in this wicked system of things, that the New Order would have been here by now. Here we are!!!! Congrats on escaping.

It's My Birthday Today
by pale.emperor intoday is my 34th birthday.
or, my 3rd birthday that i've actually acknowledged seeing as i was raised in the cult.. i woke up this morning to my 4yo running into my room and wishing me a "happy birthday daddy!".
i got a card from my ex-jw brother and i bought myself a birthday gift - a new 50mm lens for my nikon camera (photography is a hobby i took up since leaving the cult).. i dont know about you guys, but birthdays is still something i have to make a conscious effort to acknowledge and enjoy.

Happy Birthday Pale!!!!! I too like photography. I also prefer Nikon cameras. I had a D60, then D3000, D5100, then a D3100 for many years. Now I rock a D3300, but those new D5600's are incredible. I don't have any need for higher, more expensive models. Luv the VR glass.
Canon? I like their pocket cameras, in particular was fond of the G9, G10, G16. The newer G5x is fantastic!! I never liked their DSLR's. Too cheap feeling and their menu's are stupid.

FYI: Sarah's parents won't be winning any "Parent of the Year" awards anytime soon.
1. Her oldest sister was DF'd because she dated and then married (( GASP! )) a nice worldly guy. They've been together for like 20 years now.
2. Her older brother divorced his pedo wife (who was the one that helped abuse Sarah) and I believe finally came out of the closet as a gay man. (at least Bi) He left the JW's as well. (at least had a complete fade, last I checked)
3. Sarah of course identifies as an atheist. After the amount of shit SHE and her siblings have been thru, who could blame her?
4. Sarah's parents have shit for brains. They have good intentions, but are completely brainwashed. Sarah's dad is kind of a Country-fied "man's man", but didn't kick the shit out of his daughter's abusers? He allowed Elduh's to come into his home, interrogate his abused daughter, and allowed them to actually publicly reprove and later DF Sarah? That's f*cked up!!!!!
5. Sarah's parents maintain minimal to ZERO contact with any of their adult children. Loyalty to the WT Corp above all!
I wonder, as Bob & Connie get older, is the WT Corp going to take care of their pathetic asses? Change their diapers? Get them their medicine? Will the local Elduh's take care of them? If I were them, I wouldn't count on the children they screwed over and treated like shit to take care of them.

Your late husband was a fool, and your MIL is a toxic asshole. I'd be as far away from your in-laws as I could possibly get.

@Diogenesister:
He wasn't!!!! My niece-in-law was caught on Twitter talking shit about our family, and one time caught talking about my 6-yr old son while herself and all of the other grandchildren were out with Grandma for the day. Doesn't matter that he didn't have an online account, talking shit about someone else's kid online is known as "cyber-bullying." It was seen by other people as well as myself. HUNDREDS of people in fact. I'd say that's a pretty damn good reason to be pissed off. When called out, she never removed the posts or apologized either. In fact, it was turned around and made out like, "How dare we call her out on her behaviour?" Classic victim-shaming and narcissism. Her false allegations of me supposedly "acting inappropriately" around her was a ploy to deflect away from own "inappropriate behaviour." That shit didn't work, and we cut contact after even more abusive talk. I don't miss those assholes one bit. My point was, false accusations by women DO occur. People are mean and spiteful today. And NO, I am not somehow making excuses or sticking up for Pedo's or something.
