alert..............alert.....breaking news .......... john cedars of jwsurvey has pranked called governing body member anthony morris iii at bethel .
over 2 minutes of pranking .
as i type he is editing the recording into a video .
Pranking about tight pants aside, I for one am glad that Cedars got out the fact that Tony Morris' talks wake up JWs to the truth about the organisation. Tony might realise now more than before that many JWs are getting sick of unbalanced council from the GB.
Obviously he is not going to admit he is responsible for harming many with cult mind control, but at least he is aware that many JWs are leaving.

so, i have been badgered recently to do some kind of family study by my wife.
thanks to tv.jw.org i now have a really easy tool to use that not only passes this time but actually makes them question the organisation.. our sessions skipping through the delights of the monthly broadcast have been very interesting.
derision at the wooden delivery of the gb.
K99, I am sorry if I offended you. I suppose I am a little upset that I have lost my job, friends, and family to this cult.
I am struggling to get back what I lost and wish I could have faded instead.
Thankfully I did wake my kids up and they talk to me. One has even faded, but still lost all friends.
I understand how bad it is on the other side and can see why many take their time to fade.
Sorry if you feel I was off topic. Please start a new thread for us to let us know how you plan to fade.

some of you may have seen my previous post regarding my concerns with leaving the organization.. so many of you responded and were so kind and helpful, that is was rather overwhelming.
i didn't expect so many responses.
a lot of you also provided links to research as well as some books to read.
You're welcome Garret.
Try and build a new life, it may not come as quick as you like but take one step at a time.

a woman has a blood transfusion during pregnancy.
this blood, obviously, now constitutes the unborn child's circulation.
kid gets born, becomes of age and wants to become a jw.
finally after five years i have finally shut the door very firmly on the witnesses.
i have had this "sister" calling for over the last six months clearly trying to reactivate me,but never mentioning the reason why me and my family left the forfar congregation two years ago.
it was always any subject but the " elephant in the room" well today was the finale.
Well done for making it final. You must feel relieved.

For those that are still in and awake....is jw.TV really the best thing for young children? Is waking them up and teaching them to live double lives really the wise choice?
I firmly believe that kids need to see integrity and parents standing up for what is right. We could end up breeding a whole load of fake elders that don't believe in WT at all but just playing the company game and getting privileges.
This sort of lifestyle is one that I don't condone. We need to get our children out not teach them how to get away with waking up and staying in.

# 3 newbie post.
first of all, the newbies have set a record here!.
have you ever seen a 4pg post where 21 new members reply!
Sorry to burst everyone's bubble. It's great to see new users, but they are not necessarily newly awakened or newly exited from WT.
Some newbie posters are long time ex-JWs.
Nevertheless it's good to see new users or lurkers.

hello folks.....so in an earlier thread i started, you'd realize that my father and i are quite close, we talk about almost everything/anything.. he traveled outside the country (he's semi-retired), enjoying the fruitage of his hard labor during his younger years.
so he recently returned home after he and mum went away to catchup with some old friends in another country.. upon his returning home, and subsequently to the meetings, he was told that a decision was made to strip him of his "field overseer" role, but will still continue to be an elder.. the reason...he goes away for too long too often...you can't be away from your congregation for three months out of the year!!!???
has anyone else had this experience before?
Kool Jo,
Glad your dad is looking forward to flying out somewhere nice. Having a nice life now is what counts as long as he's not hurting anyone.

how scientology changed the internet.
by dave lee .
technology reporter, bbc news .
I thought it was interesting how the Church of Scientology tried to silence ex members and even lied about being a JW to do this. Very telling indeed.
The article ends with a more balanced view, but as any ex-cult member would know, putting that much effort into silencing ex members is a cause for concern.

"it is perfectly apparent that god is monstrous, utterly monstrous, and deserves no respect whatsoever.
the moment you banish him, your life become purer, simpler, cleaner; more worth living in my opinion.".
