i stumbled upon this website a few weeks ago due to the jw.org ridiculousness, since then i haven't been able to pull myself away.
the thoughts, feelings, and concerns i have had the past few years aren't just mine.
it's global.

not sure if this has been mentioned on this board yet, but i just heard from a fairly reliable source that the annual meeting will discuss, among other things, major changes in the 'bible teach' book.
has anyone else heard this??.
.
Ironic that WT has become a religion or updating beliefs, thankfully many have woken up to this truth that continually changing beliefs is proving WT false. Kate xx
i study religions.
i never call new world religons cults.
until they become like heavsn gate etc.. the jw religions is setting itself u for this.
Yes it's a cult, yes it's dangerous, yes people commit suicide because of the cult. It's a dangerous cult. Kate xx
i have posted some of this info in a different post but due to the additional information i heard i have decided to put all this under new topic.. rbc update (apparently this information is global):.
rbc will be dissolved on 5 october 2014. majority of departments will be shut down and handed over to bethel (construction, planning, training, it and legal definitely will be gone).
age criteria for the new department is under 50 years old.
Thanks Da.Furious, your information does seem legitimate. Blondie has confirmed they have been doing this for years so you really are exposing a well kept secret. I had no idea, but it sounds just like something WT would do.

hi,.
i just stumbled upon this photo on facebook (pic by david j. m. coleman), and as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.... .
.
Thanks for the pic. The JWs look as bored as the begger, but like Jeanette said, they are begging too. Wonderful pic. Kate xx
for those who havent encountered it before, the kalam cosmological argument is a proof of gods existence and goes as follows:.
) anything that begins to exist has a cause..
) the universe began to exist.. c.) therefore the universe has a cause.. .
Coded logic, well done for your opening post. It's clear to see you have done some extensive reading since your awakening and have a firm view about the existence of God. I have come to the conclusion that there is no proof as to the existence or non existence of a creator. It cannot be proven either way. But to philosophise over these matters can be interesting.
Thanks for your OP, but I however still believe in a creator.

as you all know i am just going thru the motions.
well today during the brain washing session.
one stupid elder made the comment of.....an i quote "the jw.org website is the most visited website in the world!
It's so sad that JWs believe this nonsense. It just proves the point that control of information really is going on within WT and it works. I am so frustrated that we can't just wake up these JWs. It's so dangerous just thinking this small fact that JW.ORG is the most visited site worldwide. It makes JWs think WT is more powerful and well known that it really is. I find this harmful propaganda and it saddens me to see JWs falling for it.

my husband and i were both born ins.
i left in 2009, and he followed me out a bit later.
we were one of those couples who followed the script, married young and ended up having nothing in common other than the religion.
In most cases divorce is not amicable. It can be a tough challenge to face for all and it takes time to recover. I have been separated four years and divorced for one and we are still in court over custody and contact issues. It seems neverending for us and sometimes that can be the way if you're unprepared like I was.
Prepare well before you take your steps and you could avoid some hardships I am facing at the moment.

glad to see the forum is going strong, lots of new names and stories......and it has only been a couple of months!.
the wt really has no chance in such a world of free and accessible information.
keep fighting guys, the freedom once you are loose of the governing body is awesome, you will be amazed how long you ignored the stench off bullshit as your ability to smell it returns.. and on that note ;) x. .
What a lovely experience snare. Thanks for sharing. Kate xx

I remember some letters in circulation about the RBC, but they said nothing of hired labour. DaFurious, have you got this in writing, I think it may be a mistake. Having said this it wouldn't surprise me. Kate xx
