Good points you make.
But still sad that these young ones are being psychologically abused.

Stats of conventions in Mexico
by ILoveTTATT2 ini just went to a convention in mazatlan, mexico.. i had wanted to do this for a very long time, it left me shaken a bit (because i had a confrontation of sorts with one jw who recognized me), but i got some stats that give some insight into the borg.
it really is crumbling, even in the places where they have arguably had the best, wildest success in the world: mexico.. just so you can see how much they have success in mexico compared to the us or anywhere else:.
top three countries in 2014 were:.

This is a pretty horrendous story, it has the ring of truth, the citizenship bit about Canada is in the press. Whether this story is true or not the phrase "nothing to live for" epitomizes what a good many people are experiencing.

My concern with the influx of these refugees (and I am fully in support of helping these unfortunate people) is that there are undoubtedly covert ISIS and Taliban fighters/terrorists infiltrating along with then. Down the road in maybe 3, 6, 12 or 24 months they will start their acts of terror here in Europe, and that is unfortunate.
So what is the solution?
I personally have no idea.

Do you find it hard to be around active JW's now?
by EdenOne ini do - actually, it's become close to unbearable.. and herein lies the paradox: i tried to fade in the illusion that i might keep contact with family and friends still "in".
was it worth it?
because not only most of them shun me anyways, but i find it almost unbearable to be around them, especially when the cult chit chat kicks in: every cute animal video clip triggers endless comments about glimpses of the future paradise and how "god did it"; those greasy praises to the organization and the governing body; the dumb awe about every jw broadcast and those cheesy music videos; the endless drivel against other religions when one knows perfectly well that we're no better than them; the endless flow of "experiences" of field service or spectacular conversions into "the truth"; the relentless congregation gossip; and so on .... i ask myself: is this why i am fading for ...?

I know how you feel, although I am not DA'd or DF'd all shun me even my own wife and we live in the same house but have separate bedrooms. Apart from my wife I have no contact with JWs for me they are all dead, I did none of them any harm.
Was the fade worth it for me, no it was not I only faded to try and keep my family intact, but this cult has enormous power over my wife. The marriage is at an end. I hope things go well for you though.

I think "Nitty Gritty" is a closet apostate, only cognitive dissonance prevents her from coming out.
So, Nitty Gritty come out of the closet, you really do have many potential friends on this site.

Well, I just sent an email to the OSCE, explaining a little about their Child Abuse record and their psychological control of members.
It would be great if everyone could do this.
