I was 19. At least I've had time to get my life back.
I envy you. I feel like I got my life back but I'm also not blind to the robbery of so much.
in 1967 i had the misfortune of being born with a watchtower stuck in my ass.
it took 45 years for me to realize, "hey!
there's a watchtower stuck in my ass!

Finkelstein: I left before the information that's available on the inter-net which clearly exposes this religious publishing house
I have often wondered how you seasoned apostates did it without the wealth of information I had at my disposal in 2011.

In 1967 I had the misfortune of being born with a WATCHTOWER stuck in my ass. It took 45 years for me to realize, "HEY! There's a WATCHTOWER stuck in my ass!" When I finally yanked it out it was.... well, messy.
How long did it take you?
my wife found this 1/4 page ad on page 2 of yesterday's nj star-ledger, probably the biggest newspaper in nj.
pretty telling.. .
Dunedain I think all of us, including myself, who live in the NYC, tri state area, and have access to this newspaper, should grab a copy, and make HUNDREDS of photo copies of this advertisement.
We then should carefully cut out the advertisement, perhaps even wearing latex gloves, so as not to "dirty" the copies with fingerprints.
If such a clean copy is made, please post it here for broader use.
ok, so i don't know if this is "old news", and if this has been seen, and or mentioned already.
if it was, i do apologize, but i feel i have to mention what has been seen on tv, within the past 24 hours.. first off, i would like to say that i did not personally see this commercial.
however, it was seen by someone that i can verify 100% is telling the truth, as it was my own father who saw it.

an informant in spanish forum, active elder in a congregation in madrid (spain) has posted new info regarding elders school 2017. important changes are to be done for "child" or sexual abuses.
https://abusostj.vbulletin.net/forum/main-forum/audiencias-judiciales/5506-escuela-de-ancianos-2017.
doing a summary:.
"Jimmy, now that you understand you can report this to the police if you want, take a moment to consider the reproach that would bring on Jehovah's name."
i figured i'd shut the site down for a couple of hours to encourage everyone to do their xmas shopping.
the error message was a subtle hint, that's what "500 error" means ... go shopping.. whatever rumours you hear, it definitely wasn't that someone deployed a quick update before going on a 1.5 hour car ride to pick someone up and didn't think that the page they tested, to check it was all working after the update, happened to be cached.
no siree bob, not that, na hah.. anyway, you're welcome for the extra chance to, erm, shop..
Ah, spin. Watchtower has taught us well. ;)
the letter below (translated from spanish) was just sent out yesterday to the minister of justice in spain by ex jws.
the collective group who did this have a website with this link: http://www.foroextj.com/.

Don't try that crap in America. Appealing to morality or human decency will get you nowhere around here and FACTS MEAN NOTHING! Hell, we're not even interested in the laws anymore.

i feel like everything that comes out of my mothers mouth is something negative and cringe worthy.
all she seems to talk about with me is how terrible and demonic our disfellowshipped relatives are, how horrible the world and holidays are, or how she is so much better and "holier than thou".
it really makes me sick sometimes.
I don't know what your belief system is, but try this:
"I would like to get baptized but I only want to dedicate my life to God, not an organization. As long as the Watchtower perverts baptism into a contract with a religious corporation, I'll have to hold off."
.... and then quote the second question asked of baptismal candidates.
that's a comment i heard from an elder i haven't seen in over a decade, yesterday.
i mentioned it all on my other thread.
i responded that i knew of no one that was crawling back to the meetings and gave him an incredulous hearty chuckle.
I'm not surprised to hear that at all.
When I went back in 2003 seeking reinstatement, one of the elders told me that many came crawling back after 9-11. Of course they left again after they realized Armageddon wasn't coming - WHICH ONLY SHOWS HOW INSINCERE THEY WERE.
