If you were bullied at school for being a JW kid..
by mtbatoon in..would you thank the bullies now?.
i must admit that the social pressure was a large factor in my exiting.

It's a cult Jim but not as we know it
by mtbatoon inhas anyone else noticed any non religious organisations that behave in the same was as the jdubs?.

"7 up" young JW search
by mtbatoon inin the 60's there was a bbc documentary called 7 up that followed a group of seven year olds at seven year intervals throughout there lives.
quite a few years ago i saw a u.s version and on it there was a dub grub who lived on a farm somewhere.
i never got to see any more of the shows and wondered if he grew up to give a good witness to american tv land or ended up going the predictable route that we have come to know and love.

Whats the deal with fading.
by mtbatoon ini'm not trolling here or trying to upset, i'm not attacking anyone personally or trying to force my opinion on others but having read a lot of people experiences on leaving the org i really can not understand the point of fading.
i understand that people risk losing contact with family members and friends but really what type of friend and how good a family member are they if they are willing to shun you for not holding the same beliefs?.
a bit of background might be in order here.

Apos-T-shirt II
by mtbatoon inlike many others here with family still living in dubland, i have the awkward relationship where they feel quite within their right to proffer mind altering literature yet any mention of the wtbts shenanigans sends them into a fit of apoplexy.
what to do i hear you ask?
well i have, to quote the popular pimpled lackey ?a cunning plan?.
