Lord, to whom shall we go?
by Lee Elder inonce someone figures out that the watchtower is not a safe place for their family, they come face to face with the question of where they should be.
i don't have the answer for that, but can speak to my personal experience over the past 20 years.. i ended up taking a 12 year break from organized religion, and then read an article about a new group that had formed locally called aldea spiritual community.
after a few visits, i realized that i had found a home among others who were fed up with organized religion.

UK Prime Minister about to get booted out?
by The Fall Guy inhttps://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-46532747.
changing the driver of a runaway (brexit) train which is speeding towards a broken down bridge over a chasm is going to do a lot of good.
why not just stop the train?.

Too Many Categories That Most People Fall Into ... L G B T Q C G D ... I Get Confused
by RubaDub init seems like we are all getting pigeon-holed into a category that may or may not be applicable to us.
personally, i am a "d" but i am sure there are a few (though statistically insignificant) who would otherwise fall into an "o" or other category.. it just seems like society needs to label us in the l g b t q c g d communities.. rub a dub.

Another book, that I just CANNOT put down!!!
by Beth Sarim inyesterday i just received from amazon.com is a book entitled ''awakening jehovah's witness'' by diane wilson.. just an amazing testimony.
her heart-wrenching testimony of what she went through in giving child-birth the second time, in regards' to jw standards(man-made laws) only to have the borg to a total 180 spin the (man-made) standards about a decade after the fact.
just deplorable, appalling for a lack of better words.. a great book, it's a moving book.

Smallfoot Movie and Jehovah's Witnesses (or almost any religion)
by AnonVet ini just watched the movie smallfoot not long ago.. i wasn't expecting much, but almost from the start i felt a strong connection to religion, especially jehovah's witnesses.. the premise was about protecting lies for the benefit of the village.
hiding the truth for their own good.. one line in a song stuck me:.
"protect the lie and you protect the village".

Is there a surge in "Upwakers"?
by Phizzy inthe stupid word in the topic title is a piss-take on the bloody silly jw word "needgreaters" that i have seen them use.. but my question is genuine, i know it is a cyclical thing, we get what seems to be a lot of newbies, and then things quieten down, but not just on here, elsewhere on social media i am seeing stories of people finding the courage to leave, having woken up for a variety of reasons, but usually the child abuse scandal, and the spiteful, judgmental nature of many jw's, who, though supposedly friends, will run off to the elders to snitch on you, not talk to you.
is their a real increase in those leaving ?
i do hope so, so many more finding real freedom and happiness !.
