The news I've been waiting almost 12 years to hear
by Jesus Christ in
1. jw
2. friends
so, i'm out of the organization and have been for about 7 years now but my parents and sister are still in.

i'm about apostate as you can possibly get but for some reason my family still talks to me on pretty regular basis (note to all of you trying to leave out there, make the crazy cult issue your loved ones issue, its nothing for you to be ashamed of).

i called my sister tonight to talk about work and it was one of the best conversations i've had in years.

The Tetragram (YHWH)
by RevFranklin in
1. jw
2. friends
this is the watchtower's equivalent to the theory of evolution - there is no evidence but it must be so.

in fact all the evidence points to the contrary.

there is not one new testament manuscript known today in which the tetragram appears and there is no evidence of a conspiracy to get rid of the tetragram.

My JW client!!!
by diamondblue1974 in
1. jw
2. friends
without disclosing who or where, i have a jw client who is pursuing an unfair dismissal claim and i have today managed to negotiate a hefty settlement in respect of his dispute (he was actually quite wronged to a degree).

he obviously doesnt know i post here because i dont suppose he would mix with apostates (even though i have done some good work for him).

so i presented the offer to him and some advice as to whether or not he should accept the offer and largely its a commercial decision he faces; does he carry on and continue to incur fees or does he settle now for a decent sum and cut his losses; you can imagine the scenario.

what research have you personally done to verify that all of the contents are true?
