can anyone point me in the direction of articles to read about the “new light” about hanging out with family members who are not believers?

i left when i was 20, i was disfellowshipped for five years, went back to it for family and left again shortly after.

i never got disfellowshipped again so that i could talk to my parents.

2. friends
here is my story of becoming a missionary after having kin suen (pronounced “shin”) as my circuit overseer.

my father wanted me to go to college, but since he wasn’t a witness, i knew he just didn’t understand how close we were to the end.

i had actually become a circuit overseer!

Is there a lot of Circuit Overseers that have woken up? I say Yes!

there have been a few exjw circuit overseers that have woken up, left the organization and have posted their experience on exjwreddit.

all of them deleted their accounts not long after for fear someone might figure out who they were.

it’s not easy waking up as a circuit overseer.

peak was about 500. i remember that circuit, in years past, had attendances of 1000+.

it's been over a decade now since i last attended a jw convention.

(because they told us so in a wt!.

What would it like to see
by JohnR1975 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
what i would like to see and maybe will get there in about another ten years is being a jw is a rewarding thing that enriches your life.. just like other religions out there you may not know the entire truth and maybe not quite right many of the beliefs but to have to idea of a belief centres and stabilises you.. i would like jws to be able to celebrate birthdays and maybe even other holidays if they choose to and not be judged by those who choose not to.. i would like jws to be allowed to have different interpretations of scripture and everyone is happy to agree to disagree and be able to say to each other yes maybe that interpretation is nearer the truth.

we just don’t know.. i would like new members of the gb to issue an apology for previous members getting so many things wrong.. they need to come out and say they were wrong about 1914 this date has no scriptural significance and the same is true of 1919. jws were not chosen in 1919 as the one and only true religion.. we just don’t know about so many things and it takes humility to admit we were wrong.. i would like to see even more lightening up on stupid restrictions like young people being allowed to have a varied friends and activities that are not with jws only..
