Yeah looking forward to part two. Thanks so much for sharing. What a horrible childhood you had at times. Man, that would have terrified me. I was raised in the world, but if my mom was always asking me if God would accept me or destroy me based on my choice of toys, I think I would be a nut case. Man, that's so crazy. I used to think, before I knew TTATT, that I would rather have known the truth as a kid and be raised in it. But now knowing the truth about the truth, no way man. No way, it's way too scary. Always feeling like Jehovah is going to be mad at you about something. Makes no sense.

The child abuse cases keep coming in, more and more. I think that as more keep coming to light, the more victims will feel that they have a voice and the more will come forward. Good! -

They are just "reminding" us so that they can wave the donation thing in front of our face again. That all that is. They are only coming up with way to make an announcement to say something about donations. -

I personally think 2 go bags are a waste of money. Where are you going to go? I live in OH and there is no where for me to go. I just don't see a benefit to having them. Has anyone any where ever seen a benefit ever? -

Still, it's about time they did something. And I'm happy that they did. Actually, I'm surprised at the article, to be honest. "Who do we write the check out to" Devine asked. Well, that's a start.
If only they would be so open about the child abuse cases, but hey, one step at a time...

Who has more Zeal, wt or Isis?
by prologos inhttp://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-35260475 would a jw shun, treat as dead, with contempt his own mother for her attempt to have him leave the wt religion?.

LevelThePlayingField
I'd pretty much say that Isis has way more zeal that the WT. Even if the GB had their own way I don't think they would kill. They might imprison maybe, but not kill. They're not that crazy. -

Can you guys help me? I need to find all the recent articles on the WT's most recent stance on education and carreers
by macys ini am at work talking to a current jdub and i am making progress (i think) with her and right now the theme is education.
she says that the wt no longer looks down on education and is claiming that the wt no longer says we are close to the end!
tia!

Thanks wifibandit - I just watched that video. I think I'm gonna start pioneering! They make it look so rosey and all. Like if you choose pioneering as a career then everything will be just fine. You'll never vex, you'll never be sorry, you'll never this, never that. All you gotta do it pioneer. And all your bills will be paid.

What would you like to see the Watchtower Society implement that would give you a dignified way to leave/stop being a Jehovah's Witness?
by RULES & REGULATIONS injehovah's witnesses do not provide a dignified resignation process for members who wish to resign/quit being a jehovah's witnesses.you are not given any good choices.
you can either: disassociate yourself,fade,become inactive or move to another city/state/country where you won't be bothered or found out.. if you quit your job/employment, stop attending a book club or bowling league,or quit a lawn service company, newspaper delivery service,you wouldn't see your employer or friends sending out a written notice to anyone to stop all association with you or have little contact.you would sue them for slander.you have a right to quit any association or contract (when it expires or doesn't meet the terms any longer) whenever you wish.. what would you like to see the watchtower society implement that would give you a dignified way to leave/stop being a jehovah's witness?.

Yeah, too bad there's no such thing as "I quit the church" box. If that was so, just think how many people would check that box. Many would. Me too.
