wow, how did i miss this.. open up you examining the scriptures daily ( "daily text" ).
the booklet is about 80% watchtower comments.
I'm finding it to be a rather neutral occasional topic with my wife, as in once or twice a month or less.
These last couple of days have been especially maddening from my point of view.
( Who am I fooling, every single day's text contains strong cult-speak. )
Which is very sad.
hey guys,.
so, it seems the hall i used to attend before my latest one got to hearing that i "disappeared".
so today, i went to the post office to pick up a package.... i decided to try to face reality and open it... what i found were multiple letters and wrapped gifts.
...i mean scriptures.. .
wow, how did i miss this.. open up you examining the scriptures daily ( "daily text" ).
the booklet is about 80% watchtower comments.
...if you meditate on jehovah , talk to jehovah, and all you know about jehovah comes from the wt magazines, your mind is controlled.
Thank you for that.
I'm glad I didn't read the "daily text/WT" everyday or I still might be in.
I just glanced at today's "text".
First sentence is pure brainwashing cult speak:
"Our worship involves expending our time, energy, and material possessions to the fullest extent possible".
Yep, it's Governing Body worship. Dammit! How did we all miss this?
Tough to see the light of day when you are face down...

important news:.
here in the united states, on wednesday morning, march 11th at 12:35 a.m., est, barring any breaking news the day before, the program, nightline, will air as their lead story a 9-minute segment about the watchtower (jehovah's witnesses).
the program is 30 minutes long and this segment is only one part of the show.
Count on this hitting YouTube shortly after the first broadcast.
Can't wait.
reading a report of an elder in a friends cong has been hiding and spying on the pioneers who seem to have a practise of dumping the cart and finding a local coffee shop, i've noticed that they do this in my local high street as well but this week they seemed to be all huddled around the cart, they've clearly been warned, a vast percentage of the time i see they seem to be more interested in fiddling with their mobile phones and gossiping, is just seems these carts are a means for the pioneers to turn in "easy time" i wonder what sort of figures show how much literature is being taken by the public?
i bet its very minimal.
naturally the gb would say they are a phenomenal success , we clearly know they are not.
I do not have the energy for that kind of masquerade.
Pretending to be witness or an apostate. Just pick one and be real!

Check today's "text". March 12 2015, sentence 2:
"Jehovah wants our faith in him to be built on evidence and sound reasoning, not on human philosophy or religious traditions."
This is a blatant lie. Why?
They claim to know God's thoughts. ( Yet, they have no evidence to support those claims )
They do not value evidence or sound reasoning. ( higher education is bad )
Everything Watchtower does is based on the Governing Body's philosophy or tradition not sound reasoning. There is simply zero evidence God is directing ANY organization, let alone communicating with Stephen Lett or Tony Morris from the heavens...
they just put up the march km 2014 on the private website.
most of it is same-old-same-old, with info here and there about the memorial.. somebody here might post the march km for all to see, i wont.. i just wanted to share the paragraph from page 2 q&a anticle: will you seize the opportunity?
upcoming memorial enables us to show gratitude .
as of the first week of february i had my one year shunniversary and i'm just now getting around to commemorating it and what better way to do that than share my story here.. im a fourth generation jdub.
my greatgrandparents learned the "truth" on their farm back east somewhere and now here i am with a whole lot of jw indoctrination and a huge jw family.. i first began to wake up in november 2011 when the two part series came out in the watchtower on the discrepancy of the destruction of jerusalem dates.
my husband, bless him, had said to me a couple months prior that he wanted to start taking a closer look at the 1914 doctrine because some of the dating calculations didn't seem right ( he's a total numbers guy and is extremely good at math) so when these two part articles came out the timing was just amazing and helped us to start seeing the holes in the societies reasoning.
Thanks for sharing that with us.
I would enjoy reading that letter if you are up to posting it.
We are all survivors. We've all lost something.
I believe a good look at each of our stories will help others in the long run.
fading and not "outing" yourself.. what are your thoughts on it?.
i ask, because i just received a scathing personal message on facebook from a person who read my latest book and in it i describe myself as a fader.
i was not dfd and i did not da myself.
Things are stressful enough. I repeat what was written earlier: do not play by their rules.
I have family shunning me already. They may some day reach out.
If I'm formally out ( DF/DA ) not likely to ever hear from them again.
