it's been 12 years since i first read ray franz's books and the scales came off my eyes.
by that time i was in my forties.. since 2002 i went back to school and have worked with 3 very professional organizations.
but my biological clock is ticking away and while my peers are looking forward to retirement, i am only beginning.
Out for nearly 2 years, but 25 years was lost.
It stings. I can't explain how I fell for the deception.
It's all so clear now. I thought I was smarter than that.
Mind control is powerful.
Also starting over in my mid 40's.
50 seems so close.
Focus on living a happy life and be there for those that need help.
this is a rumor i heard back in november, it comes to me third or fourth-hand.
feel free to poke holes.
i have many doubts about this myself.
When Tony Morris said: "take it up with God!" in his tight pants talk, he was likely preparing JW's to accept anything.
I mean really, who want's to "take anything up with God?"
What a disaster...

I might go, since it's so close to home.
im sure someone must have posted this before but here goes.. q: how many jws does it take to change a lightbulb?.
a : jws are not allowed to change lightbulbs.
anyone attempting to introduce new light gets disfellowshipped.. .
The alternate punchline I heard was:
None. They just sit in the dark until there is New Litght!

Where is the hearing go to be?
did you see the post on reddit?
unconfirmed naturally and just a rumour but at at one assembly this week it was announced that the 6 members of the gb send their love.. .
there are 7 members of the gb.. .
I hope whichever one it might be joins JWN.
What am I saying, they are probably a long time user.
So this being said, who is the undercover GB member posting on JWN without anyone knowing???
i remember being at the assembly in 1988?
when this was released.
everyone was so excited that we finally had a simple explanation of revelation with pictures.
Sifting through the KM full of new light was really something on the fourth and final time "studying" that book.
Literally cutting and pasting the adjustments into our precious books instead of getting the new and revised soft cover version.
Hey, we had already marked up our previously studied copy.
We weren't about to start all over again.
so the governing body likes to keep claiming incredible growth.
at the same time they claim bible studies are way down.
are the finally admitting what we've known all along, that they can no longer recruit outsiders?
And this begs the question:
How many people "know" that JWs are conducting bible studies with them?
i've been a lurker for quite some time and enjoy the forum.
i've reached a point in life where i don't argue ideologies anymore so i don't have much to say.
i've been out for decades and believe i've been mostly de-cultabilized (if that's even a word).. my family is still in and i haven't had contact with them in years.
I am also looking forward to some of your stories and experiences.
Please stick around!
sister pioneer, always thinking of how to expose false religion and promote true worship, finds out that many mormons are becoming disillusioned with the mormon faith because of the revelations being exposed on the internet.
if it is exposing the mormons, it would help to expose other false religions.she puts two and two together and comes up with a plan.. after the next meeting she asks the boe to meet with her at the back room.. ' with all in attendance brother jorgenson speaks first.... brother jorgenson: ' sister pioneer, this is most unusual but we know you are excited about something.
tell us what is on your mind.
His response would be a little twitch of the lip or eyelid.
He might say "come again"? or "Pardon me"? if he has the strength...
