I'm surprised the book is even available. I got a digital copy years ago (which I am willing to send to anyone who asks - send me a PM) and read it twice. Definitely a game-changer.

The Ultimate Conversion
by Etude inone thing that surprised me shortly after joining this site was the number of individuals who, after experiencing the deception of being a jw and the hypocrisy of the “truth”, switched to being catholic or “born-again” evangelists.
it seemed to me like jumping from the hot pan into the fire.. i don’t want to piss anyone off for his or her choices.
i feel everyone is free to believe what they may.

When I left the TRUTH, I felt compelled to go in search of the real truth - if for no other reason than my respect for "Jehovah." I considered Catholicism but ended up at a non-denominational community church. That lasted a few weeks... and several $20 bills in the plate.
Eventually I arrived at the conclusion that religion - in all it's forms - was a bunch of bunk. BUT I STILL BELIEVED IN CHRISTIANITY.
Now, I believe ALL RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHIES are man-made attempts at explaining the unexplainable.
I AM STILL NOT AN ATHEIST!
I can't look at the physical universe and conclude "random chance." I think there is an intelligence out there who made all this possible. I don't think for a moment he gives a shit about the human condition and I offer up no explanations. I am perfectly comfortable with "I DON'T KNOW!"
Go with God.

It's wrong to adulate other celebrities. OTHER!
Governing body pin-ups are okay... in fact, encouraged.

How many years did you waste away in the Org?
by Tallon inin my case; 27 years.
7 of which were as a ministerial serpent ... sorry, i mean 'servant' ;).

My case is embarrassing.
Born in. Baptized at 14. DF'd at 19.
Stayed out for 15 years trying to kill myself with chemicals but always believed. (Never occurred to me to research)
Spent 5 years trying to return. Reinstated for 2 years, decided it was a cult cult and DF'ed.
6 years out now.
I consider the 44 years from birth to DF the years wasted.

It is disturbing that heterosexuals are always so eager to recruit young people into their lifestyle.

"Look what you made me do to you"
by Zoos inthis line used by abusive spouses and governing bodies who mandate shunning:.
look what you made me do to you...".
it's got a bit of a history (according to the bible).

This line used by abusive spouses and governing bodies who mandate shunning:
LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO TO YOU..."
It's got a bit of a history (according to the bible). The plight of humans on this earth was created BY GOD! After all, for lack of any other creature with the power to create, did he not set about defining what would constitute human imperfection, physical and mental disease, and eventual death? And with those imposed conditions would come murder, deceit, abandonment, birth defects, war, and Donald Trump?
"Look what you made me do to you."
This not a concept we can blame on the governing body. They're just following the example of their GAWD!
Smiddy's post got me to thinking about this but I didn't think my comment fit in with his topic. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6549393140350976/jehovah-god-guilty-sin-omission

JW.ORG Now requires personal address
by AverageJoe1 inlogging on to the user area access today, there appeared a message saying that they now require a postal and physical home address to attach to your profile, with a note saying that the branch may change the details as they see fit.
this raises several questions in my mind:.
why would they need to have your physical address on file?.

That would likely turn off a casual surfer curious of jw.(org). Nice job, spirit directed ones.
