please chime in if you're one of my kindred spirit that happens to literally be trapped in due to strong family/friends ties, or plain fear of being abandoned in old age.. although leaving the org is my ultimate wish and desire, fear of the unknown, fear of how it would change my family dinamics, plain fear alone paralyzes me.
how do you cope in this difficult situation?

I only wish the Palestinians would get the same fire power and financial support as the Israelis do.
The only way it would be a fair fight, and the only way they would kick Israel out of their land.
Israelis are presumptuous bullies that need a good as whooping by all its neighbors.
This crazy belief that they're God's chosen people needs to be put to rest once and for all.

“winning the battle for your mind.” that is the title of an article in the latest watchtower magazine, of july 2017, pages 27-30. wow, how ironic!

There are many JWs trapped inside due to family/friendship ties that are wide awake to the WTBTS mindfuckery schemes.
Oh, how I envy the courage of those who just leave...

just wanted to say hello and thank you for all of your comments.
when i finally figured out this was not the truth it was nice to know i wasn't the only one - it was a surprise to learn how many there are.
february was my last month of service after 43 active years.
What a great success story! Thanks for sharing.
Welcome.

there was a letter read this week, followed by a talk about all the changes that are coming in the next couple of months regarding merging congregations in the area (va/md/dc) - the letter said that the kh's in the area are only being filled to 48% capacity.
this was music to my ears as i have noticed the decline in attendance in all the neighboring congregations.
they will sell some kingdom halls and merge some congregations.
You know what would put the ultimaye hurting on the WTBTS? If an inquiry like the one in Australia happened here in the USA.

The older I get, the less I want to be bugged down with a doomsday religion. Listening to the meetings, specially the mid-week one, over the phone is wonderful!
This Org is hemorrhaging bad!
These most imperfect, heaven-bound crazy believing MEN, better come up with a heartfelt apology instead of always blaming the followers for their mistakes.

i wasn't entirely sure what to expect when i made the decision to tell my parents how i really feel, but i was prepared for the worst, fortunately, it didn't come to that.
after i told them i didn't want to go to the meetings anymore it led to a long talk with them.
they made a number of irksome and woefully uninformed statements but at least they were not aggressive and have said that they won't force me to move out over this, though, i can tell they are hoping they can convince me to "accept the truth," as long as i still live with them.
Good thing they were not aggressive. However, if you start acting all crazy, far out of sync with the way you have been brought up, prepare to receive an invitation and a date by which to vacate the premises.
By far out I mean tattoos, crazy piercings, the grungy/disheveled/provocative clothing or bringing people around of shady character; or if you start disruption of peace of any kind in the home.
Make your plans to become independent at some point. May the positive in the JW world stay with you for life. Be well.

it's because we don't need a hierarchy structure without this guilt trip.
now my sins for this week are .... no i'm telling you unless you promise to forgive me..
Me, confess to mere imperfect mortals as myself? Hell NO!!!😝
God can read minds and hearts, all knowing... No need for all that praying, confessing nonsense.

washington — president trump asked the f.b.i.
director, james b. comey, to shut down the federal investigation into mr. trump’s former national security adviser, michael t. flynn, in an oval office meeting in february, according to a memo mr. comey wrote shortly after the meeting.. “i hope you can let this go,” the president told mr. comey, according to the memo.. the existence of mr. trump’s request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the justice department and f.b.i.
investigation into links between mr. trump’s associates and russia.. mr. comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after mr. flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo.
I am just looking forward to who will be fired next.
The clown is running the Nation like a reality show. Check out Bill Maher stuff on him. It's hilarious and so very true.
