family worship night is a boring, depressing, stifling, watchtarded indoctrination/brainwashing session.
it never ends.
like all things wt, there is no end in sight.
I think doing a FW night like this could be good once to see if the other family members are responsive. I then did FW with my son and we studied jwsurvey.org and jwfacts.com. It worked for us. Both my kids are mentally out now.
DD I think you're struggling staying in at the moment you need to skip a couple of meetings perhaps. I am concerned for you.
Take care

Very good find. This JW has been struggling a lot during his time in the WT and never really felt comfortable in FS. He has known something was up for a while but probably could not put his finger on it.
I hope he is happier now and out of WT.

being a web developer, i can't help but notice the similarities between the forum ui and bootstrap.
is it based off of bootstrap?
i didn't see any of the tell-tale css or js files when i used my inspector..
Very interesting thanks Simon

so i joined very recently and began posting and commenting without a formal intro.
been reading for a while, decided it was time to jump in.
mentally i am completely cleansed of this thing, but still have to maintain a minimal involvement for spouse and family.
Welcome freemindfade,
I hope this site will help you progress in your life and your fade. Many fade out with their spouses still in and remain in a happy marriage it can work. Some also talk to their spouses and are able to leave together.
It's great to have you here

i don't know where to start.
i got married a year and half ago.
some months into the marriage things where discovered.
Playground,
Now that you have listened to us all, you must decide what your next steps will be based on this information. My spouse had the elders on his side too, and he was allowed privileges and I was not.
If Jehovah sees everything why does this injustice continue in his organisation when it comes to domestic violence?
My answer is that there is no holy spirit guiding elders or anyone. Once I realised this I was able to think clearly about my next steps. I suffered a lot of cognitive dissonance (torn feelings inside) before I accepted that Jehovah wasn't guiding things in my life. Then I left WT and the cognitive dissonance went away and I could think clearly.

email sent to me from a friend in new york city..
brooklyn update january 10, 2015.
we have spent the last few weeks in training at the montgomery facility (near walkill) there are 6 couples that were trained to go on the road as ldc field representatives of the branch.
Yes WT is just a property company. I can't believe the brother who wrote this email is so blind to the obvious strategies of the WT to acquire more properties and then sell them off for huge profits.
In our circuit, a KH has been sold that accommodated two congs. Now the elderly and single parents have to trek miles every week to meetings.
There isn't even one direct bus from the territory to the KH, so if they don't have transport travelling to and from meetings will take them longer than the actual meeting.
This email is spreading nonsense and it's just a smoke screen to gain more property for WT and free labour doing them up ready for sale.

i've always been a "spiritual" person.
i've been an avid bible reader since as early as i can remember.
i read the bible cover to cover for the first time when i was about 17 years old and have read it at least twice more since then.

Welcome Cappytan,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I couldn't live the lie to keep all my loved ones. I lost a great deal. If I could do it all again I would do it differently.
If you do more research and finish Crisis of Conscience, and check out sites like jwsurvey.org and jwfacts.com you may feel you wish to leave WT. If you do I strongly recommend you build up a circle of friends outside WT before you make your exit.
Trusted work mates, or even start a new hobby. Something to replace what you will lose if you leave. Talk to your wife as well, Combating cult Mind control, by Steve Hassan, is a good book to help you reach your wife. She may be very strongly entrenched in her beliefs. This book will help you understand ways to communicate that will be the least stressful for her. After all if you leave you want to try and take your wife with you.
Take care Cappytan

am i going nuts or am i just pissed off?
there are so many posters who use abbreviations in their posts and so many of us have been out for years.
the borg constantly changes everything from beliefs to organizational tactics, so those like me don't have a clue to what you are referring to.
I use Df'd and RI'd a lot for disfellowshipped and reinstated.
