Today is my 10th anniversary!

none of my three marriages lasted that long!

today is the tenth anniversary of my being disfellowshipped.

apparently i am much better at being disfellowshipped than being married.. i might end up getting married again someday, but i will definitely not return to the cult.. say amen!.

WT books thrown into the dumpster...

for the last few weeks i have been pretty busy as we were moving to a new house.

my wife did most of the packing but when it came to the move, i realized that there are things we own that we had forgotten about because we haven't used them for years!

on top of the list was old wt publications that no longer contain the "truth" and publications available on the wt cd.

Nessrriinn's Story
by jwfacts in
1. jw
2. experiences
this is a beautiful account by nessrriin of her growing up and leaving the muslim faith.

the parrallels with leaving the watchtower faith is quite remarkable, even the similarity of terminology such as; the truth, conventions, guilt, study more, apostate, "there is no questioning allah".. there have been several accounts lately of people torn by the question "what if the watchtower is correct"?

hopefully this video will help show that your religious belief is due to your religious upbringing, not that it really could be "the truth.".

JWs always deny the information control
by AuntBee in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
an active witness on fb just told me that they are taught to "always question what we are taught" and use not only the wt publications, but any research materials, and come to a conclusion about what they find!

this is not what i've heard from you guys!

does she go to some unusual-type kingdom hall, or is she mesing with my mind?.

2. bible
so during my research on the wts, i stubled across a link to the july 15th watchtower.. .

i'm assuming that the study editions are the ones that they only give to members/ those who attend meetings.. .
