  Thank you again, everybody

  Many people are falling away from this movement in Russia, but many more are joining up. To be honest with you, not many who were Witnesses from the very beginning are witnesses now. In Russia, in my area, the congregation that I knew, I hear are having trouble with apostacy. The trouble is, the more that leave, the more people join.

  Russians should do more to promote awareness of this cult, and I am currently designing a website in Russian that will help. Many Russians cannot speak a word of English.

  That should really be zone 2. Russia is split into many time zones, because it is so big.

  Yakatsk is zone 8, and St Petersburg is zone 2. Novosibirsk is zone 5, imagine the joys of travelling across Russia.

  Hello to all and thank you again.

  In Russia, many people are catching on to Watchtower tactics. Although there are still drones of people going to the Watchtower, those who live near the big cities are able to get valuable information on the witnesses through libraries and the internet. The Witnesses are excelling in the poorer places, Siberia and near the Arctic coastline where most people have permofrost of their braincells !

  In a library in St Petersburg I somehow found an old copy of Ray Franz Crises of Conscience, albeit in English.

  Hi, and thank you.

  It's kind of a casual hello. There are many various dialects across Russian, it gets more confusing as you travel across country.

  Im grateful that I am out. It feels as though my whole life until then was controlled by other people.

  Hello my American friends, and those from other places

  I was a Witness for almost 20 years, and have been through a lot to offer my story today.

  My mother was conned by the Jehovah's Witnesses when she was just forteen years old after sitting in with a schoolfriend on a bible study back in England. She would never forget the pictures of death and destruction in the various publications of the Watchtower Society, such as the Paradise book double page spread. These images stayed with her for a long time and she was baptized in a small town in England when she was still quite young.

  By then I was born and so my mother began to indoctrinate me with Watchtower doctrine as she thought this was to save my life. My father was never interested in religion but only politics so he never fell victim to the charms of living forever in the wonderful paradise earth with all nationalities living together, maybe he was more of a realist than a dreamer.

  However as I grew up I gained more strength to go on as a Witness and gave over seventy five talks at the local Kingdom Hall as well as various Bible studies and calls.

  As a witness, I began to notice the plain hypocrisy of those inside the walls of this religious group. I witnessed elders swapping wives, homosexual acts and even armed robbery where a member of the congregation was sentenced for stealing thousands worth of Jewlry from a merchant. But most of all I noticed the false nature of the Witnesses, the lies behind the truth and the cover ups within the organization and even the congregation. I was once threatened with disfellowshipping if I mentioned that I had witnessed the service overseer and the accounts overseer engaging in a homosexual act when I arrived out of the blue one day for Kingdom Hall cleaning. I kept my mouth shut for the sake of my mother who was very into the 'truth' as she called it and couldn't bare to see me have to leave.

  After walking home 6 miiles from the meeting one night, I was attacked by a group of young men who singled me out as a Witness as I carried the identifying mark of the wild beast my briefcase and that tight driplike appearance of a Jehovah's Witness. It made me more determined to carry on 'serving Jehovah'.

  I cant believe that I put up with so much to actually be a Witness. Now that I have left, it all seems so futile. I even sold my business, which was doing really well, to pioneer. 3 years later, I had left. I wish I could have added more, but some experiences are too painful to state.

  I wanted you to know that I am so grateful for the information on the internet regarding the true identity of Jehovahs Witnesses and their past.

  Thanks.

  I believe that some points can be classed as pure sensationalism but anything that turns people away from the Jehovah's Witnesses is good enough for me.

  being brought up in the borg since birth, i beleived everything my parents taught me and showed me, i looked up to them, they were my heroes in life.. now, i look back, they lied to me, cheated me, mislead me, did not look out for my best interests, and abadonned me when i needed them the most,.

  i have nothing good to say about them (or my brothers and sisters), like to tie them both to a tree and ----- them.

  they are very stupid people.. i'm sure i will wrestle with this the rest of my life.. thanks so much watchtower bible and tract society !!!!!!!!!!

  I would not like to view this as a tough question at all. Although my father was never a witness, my mother remained a witness and it was through her endevour that I grew up as a Witness.

  Thankfully, she is now no longer a Witness after we both studied this so called word of God to find the discrepancies in the accounts. My father can be a bad man sometimes, and I could take out the frustrations of not having a proper youth out on my mother, but I must remember that she was only do what she thought was the right thing to do. She really believed that taking me to the meetings would save my life. Nothing wrong with that; no shame in being misinformed. But to continue in that path, in light of such evidence, there can be no excuse.
