  i say this because i have been helped so much by the many posts that represent the way i feel about the wtbts.

  it is good to know that there are so many people that feel this way.

  i am currently inactive and dont comment but do attend meetings for the sake of the family.. my wife is still in and i have a daughter and one on the way.

  after many months of lurking and researching on oh so many different topics, doubts, concerns, and viewpoints i decided to get my feet wet and start posting.

  many times i wished to contribute something to a thread but was to apprehensive to get an account.

  then as time passed and i read many more of the post from various members the uneasiness subsided somewhat and my desire to proceed into previously uncharted waters grew.

  Welcome,
  
  Might me say, "Me does not believe any human is stupid,
  just insight from a different viewpoint".
  
  Just remember you DO NOT have to answer any question
  about yourself.
  
  There are some here on the board that just love to ask
  question but at the same time will never say anything
  about themselves that has meaning.
  
  For the most part ALL try to be helpful.
  
  Thanks

  Sacolton,
  
  How many times must me tell you to stop reading those older pub.
  
  "We have new light".
  
  Don't you just love that false statement!
  
  For me, the most laughable WBTS teaching is:
  
  Shunning.

  Hi! I'm new here!

  i just signed up here, so i guess i should let everyone know a few things about myself.. my maternal grandfather was an elder in a congregation here, and he and my grandmother raised my mother quite strictly as a jehovah's witness.

  my father's father was also a jehovah's witness, though much less devout.

  when my parents were in their mid-20's they more or less disassociated themselves from the flock.

  i'm new to this site and just thought i'd share a little bit about myself.. i was born and raised in los angeles, grew up as a jw and left the org when i was 22. i wasn't df'd or da'd, i just faded (very quickly).

  i left the org 10 years ago and never looked back....or so i thought.

  it wasn't until recently that i realized how much of a hold they still had on me.

  hi everyone, thought it was time to say hi after nearly a year lurking on this site!!

  abit about me... i was born into the jw's and have been baptised for about 15yrs and was appointed as an ms about a year ago.

  i have been a die hard jw for the last few years, but because of the arrogant and unloving attitude of certain 'spirit appointed' men within the cong and circuit i began to wounder if what i had really was 'the truth' and caused me to do some digging on some of the fundamental teachings.

  WHAT-A COINCIEDNCE
  
  Me would like to say, that while some have presented some fine points, me believes OOMPA and Quinky1 reflex good judgement.
  
  You owe the WBTS (((((NO))))) reason for what you are doing with your life.
  
  You only show (by sending a letter or whatever) you are playing by their rules. You are still in their control.
  
  Be at peace with yourself and move on.
  
  Thanks

  Where Did All the Fun Times Go?

  where did all the fun times go?

  i was looking at the june 1, 1985 watchtower, pg.

  29-31 with its legalistic baptism vows, where one recognizes their association with gods spirit-directed organization, when i was struck by the context of the article.. essentially it gives a last minute warning about proper decorum with swim-wear used for baptism a serious and solemn occasion.
