I told on a girl for liking a worldy boy at school. Me and another brother actually waited down the street from the boys house to see if she went there after school, just to get some proof for the eders. I cant believe i did that:( Did anyone else spy on another witness like i did?

COMBATTING CULT MIND CONTROL and releasing the bonds were both instrumental in getting my wife to see the truth. They were somewhat neutral to her, so she would listen. I underlined quotes and would read them to her to get her interested. There are several powerful quotes in these books. It was amazing to me to see just how similar all high control groups are. After we read combating cult mind control and releasing the bonds then Crisis of Conscience was welcomed without hesitation. It was freedom for her, from that point on. Even though i personally read CoC first, Steve hassans books really helped me tremendously, on my own exit. They helped me past those little doubts that would still come up, things like "yeah, they predicted the end several times but maybe they are the CLOSEST thing to the truth":) All groups are the same and i dont think i will ever fit in, anywhere. I know the JW's arent the truth and all the JEsus talk makes me sick to my stomach. I am now reading books about mormon fundamentalism. I think im more interested in religions than the bible at this point in my life.

Last year was our first year celebrating holidays. My 6 year old of course accepted it with arms wide open. My wife suprised me also. Myself, i enjoyed it ok, but i had a few moments of guilt. This year things are great. Ive been looking forward to Christmas for 2 months now. Sure, its pagan origin. That has nothing to do with what it is 2 thousand years later. If Charles Taze Russel believed in pyramidology, does that make the watchtower of today Pagan? The pagans ate, slept, and drank just like we do, are those things wrong also? Its all so trivial now. I just laugh at how we used to be so overboard and ignorant.

Is is from an advertisement for the Millions booklet that appeared on the back page of several Golden Age magazines, It says: Do these things appeal to you? Unending human life; perpetual health;... no more fear of the landlord, the doctor, the sheriff, the employer, of evil men and angels, of vicious animals, of dependent old age; no more blindness, lameness, deafness, dumbness; no more bald heads, glass eyes, false teeth, or wooden legs; no more sickness, disease, or pestilence; no more ignorance or superstition; no more sorrow; no more tears! No, we are not trifling: these things and more are absolutely sure, because promised by the Word of God. The world has already ended,... earth's times of restitution, its springtime, begins to count in 1926. When that times comes, all the above blessings will not come instantaneously, but will come speedily on those who live through the next five or six years of trouble. [5]

This was taken off the jw-media website Conscience Jehovah's Witnesses avoid making rules and regulations beyond those provided in the Scriptures, and they do not follow traditions that contradict Bible teachings. Emphasis is placed on personal application of Bible principles and the value of a sound, Bible-based conscience.—Matthew 15:9; 2 Corinthians 1:24.

I do not miss meetings, giving talks, commenting, demonstrations, doing the literature count, going in service, feeling guilty about going to a garage sale instead of the meeting for field service. I hated conducting the meeting for field service, getting cargroups together and trying to keep up with who hates who and who will refuse to work with who. I hated the guilt of working shiftwork and having every Circuit overseer who came through, telling me to quit my job. I hated working a 12 hour shift and being so tired but having to get home as quick as possible to put on a suit to show up early because i was in charge of the literature counter, only to stay late after the meeting also to peddle literature and get up at 5am the next morning. There are so many more things i dont miss. I AM NOT TIRED ANYMORE AND I FELT INSTANT RELIEF. SERVING GOD ISNT SUPPOSED TO MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE THAT!
