  The eldaaaars again!!

  by ILoveTTATT in

  after two months of not coming to my house, today about two hours ago, one of the elders that came two months ago came to my house.

  he was in serve-us with other brothers from the spanish cong and came into my house with a friend of mine (not another elder).

  he said he wanted to talk to me, and he said it in front of my mom and my dad (both were there).. what was interesting is that it seems like it will be a one-on-one for half-hour.

  Ok... So I will go with "I will contact you if I need you. Please don't show up unannounced at my house."

  I didn't avoid him because he came unannounced, to my house, in the middle of his serve-us.

  About telling my boss... it is in reality in my best interest, work-wise, to stay in the city I am in. But I cannot just go out of the house without raising major red flags.

  Thankfully, today I had a chance to talk to my dad about TTATT. I placed the cards on the table: either this is the true religion, or it's not. But you have to make a decision soon dad, and support me on this.

  I used my best info that I have: we went through dozens of the quotes I have on vaccination.

  I felt sad because I have never seen that look in my dad's eyes: he now KNOWS and FEELS the deception. But I had to do it. We talked about vaccinations and how there's NO WAY that the people supposedly guided by God could have made such "beyond stupid" statements. Then we talked about Candace Conti, about how it's a real-estate scam, how the elders are pushed for "renos"...

  I really let it all loose today... I REALLY need my dad on my side. He is every day more firmly on my side.

  I want to keep my family. I really do. F!ck my freedom for a little bit, my parents raised me very lovingly and it would be just wrong to never tell them ttatt.

  There's a chance that my mom won't wake up, but it's definitely worth the try.

  What was interesting is that it seems like it will be a one-on-one for half-hour. When he asked me for a convenient location, I said in a coffee shop. I was thinking he was going to say no, but he said yes...

  Now isn't that weird? Don't they usually meet in a more private place?

  What should I do? Evade like the other time? Meet him for "coffee"?

  I am almost three months into my new job... maybe on Monday I can beg to be transferred to the other city asap... should I tell my boss that it really means my family's welfare?

  Please advise!! =S

  I think my fade has hit a rut. Do I need to grow a pair?

  so here i am after about 18 months of wake up.

  the first 6 months were a rollercoster of feelings as my whole belief system unravelled.

  the last year has been more stable but things seem like they are just stalling now.. my wife is aware of many of my feelings although i have held back the fact that i am pretty close to denying all belief in any kind of god.

  Maybe there is a higher level? Maybe there is a "next step"?

  See... It's not just "fade or DA"... there are other options. There must be. Just brainstorm them.

  But, I think that eventually you must decide to go to the next level. Otherwise you can be stuck in this "limbo" forever...

  i was already on my way to my second fade when i went to the wildlife photographer of the year 2012 exhibition, but this photo made me lose faith in the idea of a loving creator......(the gazelle has been injured by the mother cheetah so she can use it to train her cubs to hunt).

  as you can see from the picture, in the kingdom hall there was a board with "publishers, books, booklets," etc... aparently for the entire congregation.

  not sure what the other line is, maybe it is a goal?.

  Welcome 4thgen!!

  londo, there must have been a switch at some point to the place/sell doublespeak.

  At least when I was a kid, it was "place"... I remember being told that we DON'T sell the literature, we PLACE it.

  The first KM's actually said "Golden Age SALES office". They weren't shy back then of stating their true intentions.

  i need the permission of erick (and i guess those who appear in the videos) to translate and subtitle the videos to spanish.

  the spanish exjw's i know think it's revolutionary to record jc's.. .

  i want to inspire them, so if you give me your permission, i will go ahead.

  I would like Eric's videos translated. I saw a guy who asked for it, but he didn't reply...

  His apostasy trial is very good (and Sam's JC too!! Thanks Sam!)

  The movies may not create a "click", but certainly will allow for the start of a conversation.

  I told my mom about the movie, and asked her about the red pill/ blue pill. At first, she said she preferred the blue pill. When I expressed shock, I said, so... you would like to not know, for example, if my dad got an illness, or would you rather know and DEAL WITH IT?

  Then she said, immediately, OF COURSE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW! I would like the RED PILL!

  =)

  SUCCESS!!

  I just have to one day actually connect the dots.... but she KNOWS in her mind that no one likes being deceived. She thinks most would take the red pill...
