  i was feeling particularly hopeless about the whole jws being assholes thing and sick to death of pretending so ....

  i rang my sister and told her that i no longer believe jws have the truth and the phone went silent, when i asked her to say something she just said if that was the case then she would have to hang up on me and then proceeded to indeed hang up..

  so i texted her back immediately with fu..

  I'm glad you made the move toward personal freedom.

  You will forever wish you did it sooner. I know I do.

  People are leaving and it is for all the right reasons.

  March 25 1989. Fremont Assembly Hall.

  They used to let you get baptized with your spouse. ( that's my first wife ) we were 19 and 20 years old.

  Blindingly Obvious - But Not to J.W.'s

  by The Searcher in

  if a fellow j.w.

  asked a publisher/pioneer/missionary j.w., "how are your hours this month", they will gladly reveal how many hours they've racked up "for jehovah.".

  now ask them, "how much money have you contributed to kingdom interests this month", they'd look at you as if you were beelzebub himself, and tell you that that was "personal.

  How are your hours this month?

  Matt 6:3,4

  
  

  That would make a nice roadside sign on the way to the KH or Assembly.

  Hmmmmm.....

  That phrase angers me.
  
  They have the softer version, too:
  Listen , obey and be blessed.

  I'm not so sure a bigger awakening is going to happen anymore

  when i left in march officially i started reading the forums here.

  i had this excitement that more people would be leaving soon because of the crazy broadcasts, the crazy "new light" that the gb was dishing out, and more recently the australian royal commission lighting up geoffrey.

  this past saturday i had an elder stop by to chat for the first time since i left.

  I think there will be snowball effect. TTATT will not stay a "secret",

  The bottom will fall out.
  Think about this: The 25-55 crowd are watching the very ones that "taught them the truth" die before there eyes. Parents, grandparents and older friends.

  They all know that none of these people "were supposed to die".
  I think this one component will get people sniffing around the internet and the forums.
  When millions that were living, have now died, some will accept reality for what it is.

  The internet genie is out of the bottle, so to to speak, so asking the JWs to stop using the internet is impossible with all of the JW,ORG hype.

  There must be a rather large percentage of JWS that must be just be too scared or confused to act. On the other hand, if you are used to "waiting on Jehovah" all your life, why would any of this shake you now?

  I'm hoping mass exodus

  so i live in the area of the 'valley' wildfire in northern california.

  i just returned home after 3 days evacuated.

  there is a family who run a fitness center and had opened their doors in disaster relief to affected people with beds, food, clothing and shelter.

  This is so sad.

  I mentioned the fact that JWs are not a charity regarding this fire.

  I was told the local BOEs called to make sure the JWs were accounted for.
  How is that charity?

  That's just what "friends" should do when they know there is a need.

  Today I got a review that left me scratching my head - what do you make of it?

  as a published author on amazon, i'm used to getting negative reviews from time to time.

  it goes with the territory and i'm ok with it.

  writing is an art form, so no art is liked by everyone.
