List of family/friends lost to the Watchtower cult? (suicides)
by hubert inafter reading about puternuts (ari) suicide, and also reading about sabine and js losing their daughter to this cult, i think it would be a fitting memorial, so to speak, to write a list of all the people we know who died because of this cult.
i also know that cruzanheart lost her dad to it, too.
i'm sure there are many here that can make a list of suicides brought on by the shunning/threatening policies of the watchtower cult.

Dub Parents who neglected health issues of their kids
by pratt1 in.
a friend of mine mentioned that he was bitter about the fact that his dub parents neglected his oral hygiene and health because they thought the new system was around the corner and since he would be perfect, his teeth would automatic be healed.. this guy only went to the dentist 2x as a child and really did need brace - we used to call him "bucky" because of his teeth.. as an adult he had the majority of his teeth removed because they were beyond fixing.. do you know of other examples of parents neglecting the health of their kids because of the impending "new system".

Long Island Congregations?
by pc ini am wondering why i haven't really heard about many from that area on the forum.
i knew so many people growing up that have left and yet haven't actually connected with anyone so far.
i know franklin lives where my brothers do, but no one else has surfaced so far.

Bethel: Pathway to Apostasy
by Black Man inat the 'big house' you go either one of two ways, company man or apostate.
i think for many that went, it demystified the whole organization and you saw firsthand that there wasn't holy spirit influencing anything - only the muses of sheltered, out-of-touch old men and political bureaucrats.
i work in the corporate world and i saw just as much if not more politics in bethel.

Do you look better or worse
by pratt1 inthe other day i was looking at some old photos of my wife as a young witless teen.
several of the pictures were taking at assemblies and gatherings/weddings.. what amazed me is that she looks better today than she did as a witless teen or early twenties.
i don't mean just the expression on her face, but also the way she was dressed.

If You've Faded, Do You Still Consider Yourself a Dub?
by brunnhilde ini've been thinking about this a lot, because i've chosen to fade and i would never refer to myself as a jdub, but i've read postings from others who do.
i would have written a letter a year ago but i've got older parents who are upset enough about me just not attending.
on another thread someone is also leaving and they were advised to tell the jc to do whatever, to not acknowledge that they have any authority.
