To my friend who just recently woke up to the truth about "the truth", I hope you can read this...
You are not alone.
It is true when you said that there are also many nice "worldly" people.
this post is mainly for our new forum visitors and members.
perhaps even those who are just lurking or visiting here but have not yet signed up.
maybe you are in the initial stages of researching and finding out the earthshattering and life changing information about the religion that you once held dear and called “the truth”.. it can be a very stressful period of time as you realise that your whole foundation has changed and that the people in your life that you call friends or family may not take kindly to the things you have discovered.

last saturday morning, i answered a knock at my door to see a man standing next to a young boy who handed me a pamphlet posing the question, "how do you view the bible?
would you say it is (1) a book of human wisdom?
(2) a book of myths and legends?
Next thing we know, the JW father has started to research online, found this site, and now started to lurk here. That would be nice. 😅
hello friends,.
i don't post here much anymore but still check in to read from time to time.
yesterday i thought i would send a fb msg.
Oh my... I didn't look at the other post much and just thought you had a catch up just very recently. : ( I'm so sorry.
watchtower study edition- april 2019. are you fully accomplishing your ministry?.
the study article starts off with praise and admiration for members who are out in the field ministry.
the wtbts understand that you have family responsibilities, work, get sick, and have pains due to aging.
Guilt-mongering was the biggest trigger for my awakening.
One of the pillars of high-control manipulation. (Sorry for being redundant)
i had it confirmed today that 5 kingdom halls on one site in new addington are for sale.
price being asked £3.5 million.. every witness in london worked on that site.
am in shock.
Free labor... million-euro gains!!! Well done, business people!

Ahahahahahaha....
new to this forum.
i ran across it when watching lloyd evans videos and searching out jw links.
i left the cult many years ago after a long stint in it.the cult caused me much pain and problems even though i left.
Hi Toby!
Welcome from Asia.
Glad to know that you are not alone in your family to mentally/physically leave this suffocating organization.
you know, i'm not such a conspiracy thinker.
but why do they display this sign / symbol at the background?
with some litle imagination it is a freemason sign.
They could have chosen a painting of a flower, or a sunset, a serene landscape
or of the imagine PARADISE itself. But, no. Why?
i attended a circuit arsesemblancey today.
melbourne, melton arsembley hall.
western suburbs area.. 1. re hearing negative reports in the media about jws.
I smelled something was amiss with how the WT/GB handles the monetary donation of its members. So, I think I haven't contributed a cent for the past 7 years.
without a doubt, jw life is boring.
and those meetings!
5 congregation meetings, meetings for field service, elders meetings, judicial meetings, meetings to figure out who was qualified to clean the toilets....🤔.
- Sitting on those hard benches during an assembly on a hot humid day
- Constantly sighing as quietly as possible as my eyes continue to roll up because of the manipulative talks
- Lip synching to the KH songs eventually
- Being assigned to clean the restroom after the meeting
- Being assigned to do a "part" in the "ministry school"
- Always trying to start with depressing news or a sad condition during conversations just so the WT "truth / hope" can be injected
- Packing or ordering meals for the assembly
- Monotonous or overly emphatic speakers
Ahhh, good memories
