i am a new member to this forum.
i am a current jw who is currently struggling to leave or stay, depends on how you want to look at it.
i have created a new blog, www.jwawoken.com to allow me to have an outlet for the cognitive dissonance in my brain.
Very well written blog. It's very detailed. Jwsurvey.org and jwfacts.com also cover a lot of this material too. Perhaps you could go to those sites and gain more for your blog.
Have you read 'crisis of conscience' by Ray Franz? I think you would like it.

Welcome awoken.....it's interesting to see that you developed doubts when you started getting exposed to WT procedures and policies as a MS.
I will read your blog now and tell you what I think
Take care

my husband has a brother he has not spoken too in years not even when he became an adult.
there is a big age gap between them and when his brother was df'd he was still a small child.
his brother was 17 when he was df'd for sex and when he turned 18 he left home and never looked back.
Sad situation.....looks like your BIL doesn't want anything to do with his family.
Very tricky......but I would contact him regularly and be patient about him responding.
Take care

hello all, i would like to first say that i am basically questioning my faith in god.
i am not negative towards the wt at all.
so honestly i am to concerned with more ad hominem attacks towards the wt because i still love the organization and the people in it.
I am not concerned with stories or examples of how they're horrible people. When it comes to personal experiences, I rarely believe them to be 100% true. - Qmf
Sounds to me like you're perfect for an elders role exactly the qualities WT like. When you start to develop concerns about those that have been mistreated you will be ready to explore you're doubts.
Nice to see you have started your journey.
Take care

I think the interviewer Alex was too confrontational as a witness I knew most JWs wouldn't enter into conversations like that.
JWs Are trained to look for humble teachable people.....not free thinking ones.
When I talk to them I usually appeal to their emotions and ask them what they think of my personal experience.
Some are very responsive and some shun me.
I don't think filming helps either

Welcome to the board Qmf,
Looks like you have left now. I don't think JWs are bad people but I do think the leadership has a lot to answer for.
There are many elders who don't belive in God and carry on their duties in WT. I believe that JWs like this have no integrity. They make decisions about people's lives claiming they have guidance by holy spirit but they are atheist/ agnostic. I abhor this kind of behaviour.
Hope you find some answers and retain your integrity.

my name is jack and i'm looking for after death communications from the jehovah witness community.
an after death communication (or adc) is when a loved one sends a kind of message to this side of life after their death.
it can be a dream or smell (like perfume or roses that would be attached to them in memory) or a feeling of their presence.
Well Jack..... Some people are satisfied with just a face to face Explanation......it sounds like you're looking for confirmation bias.
Estrella could have gone into a second hand Buddhist book shop where all the books have photos of Buddhist men and it was probable a book displayed a photo of a man that looked similar.
This is another possibility Jack. Would you not agree?
You don't want facts just stories

Jack when you spoke to Estrella.....did she give you verifiable facts? Like copy of the book with the guys name in? Dates she knew him for? Evidence he was an employee there? Pictures with her and him?
Or did you just blindly believe her with no evidence?

let's review: it's a cult!.
allrighty--got thinking about it in this thread.
isn't it odd that, of all things, that isn't on the list of df offenses?
Being possessed by a demon cannot be classed as a wilful sin. You can only get df'd if you're unrepentant lol
I know you're having a laugh rebel
Love Kate xx

Jack.....have you met Estrella?
Sounds a bit like Chinese whispers to me.....not something I would view as evidence.
Plus how can I verify what you're saying?
Still not convinced
