I feel this young lady's you tube has a definite shot at getting 1 million views easily in the next week or so. I hope millions and millions watch it- the real world needs to know how dangerous a cult the WT Society and Jehovah's Witnesses are -

Does What We Say Here Or In Person Really Help JWs To Get Out Of The Religion?
by minimus inif we are in the congregation, do you think our comments or questions actually reach elders or others in the congregation?
do our comments on this board affect witnesses to the point of questioning their faith?

Definitely this site helps awaken JW's who are sitting on the fence, people who are perhaps having doubts themselves within. Even if a JW hasn't VERBALLY spoken out loud to other fellow JW's and they keep their doubts to themselves- Simon's board here is a great release or an outlet or a conduit for those JW's still having silent doubts - too fearful of sharing those doubts with jW family and friends.
Thus we see as another poster mentioned people coming on introducing themselves as " long time lurker, first time poster ", so we realize a lot of good information has already been entering the neurotransmitters in their minds from this board to counteract the JW drivel they get being spewed from kingdom hall platforms.
It's up to us to keep the ball of access to helpful information to keep rolling for these people. Kind of like the movie " Pay it Forward " with Kevin Spacey and Helen Hunt about 10 years ago. Start a good deed like the boy did in the movie helping others- then the next person does something good for the next person, and so on. Before too long you have all of these ex-JW's caring for one another and showing a hell of a lot more authentic love to exiting JW's than they ever received inside the cult. It's an amazing transformation and an opportunity for many of us to help people in ways that we never ever did as JW's. Just my 2 cents

Jehovah's Witnesses preach a conditional love that destroys lives
by Watchtower-Free inhttp://www.examiner.com/article/jehovah-s-witnesses-preach-a-conditional-love-that-destroys-lives.
may 26, 2015 the independent news reports, ex-jehovah's witness schoolgirl exposes organisation as a religion that destroys lives - a religion that preaches love and acceptance, but the reality is everything is conditional.
acceptance by other members is subject to a strict dogma and absolute obedience without question, said a school girl holding back tears as she recalled her personal experiences as a member of the church.. photo by spencer platt/getty imagesyesterday, may 25th, the raw story quoted the independent in an emotional speech to her classmates, a schoolgirl who left the jehovahs witnesses exposed the organizations cover-up of abuse and sexual violence inflicted on women and its effort to silence the victims.. the girl recounted the stories of three women who were abused and sexually assaulted by men in the church.

WATCHTOWER-FREE- Thanks for posting this article. Really great, informative article. All people need to be aware of the dangerous tactics of the criminal organization known as Jehovah's Witnesses backed by the WT Society. The minimizing of criminal felonious behavior such as child abuse only encourages and fosters more abusers to join the JW organization because they know they can get away with molesting more children and abusing more women - because elders are trained by the WT Society to minimize the dangers of such behavior.
The brave young lady who now has over half a million views of her exposing video about criminal WT Society conduct is a champion for human rights and an advocate for freedom of mind to make people aware of how the WT Society enslaves and controls it's JW members. It's a good thing that this is being talked about more and more out loud in the media and on the Internet bringing this to the forefront. It needs to keep happening. Good job on your part WT-FREE for continuing to do so. We all play a part in exposing this evil organization

Want to share your thoughts on JWs?
by punkofnice inwell, it's been a long while since i last visited here.
i've been doing this and that...you know....lugubrious life and all.. i am interested in collating views from all types of people about jws, albeit non jws, ex jws....anyone associated with jws who wants to share their viewpoint.
later on i'd like to self publish these collected interviews but cannot offer any money as the project is more about giving people an opportunity to speak, help, whatever, rather than make a best seller.

Name : Flipper / Anonymous
Gender : Male
Country : USA
Were/are you a JW ? I was a JW - past tense. Now an EX-JW.
How were/are you associated with JWs : Born in.
How long were you a JW ? : 44 years from birth until age 44 .
What drew you to the JW's ? : My JW parents- I had no choice they joined 8 years before I was born. As a teenager I truly was deceived and believed in a " Paradise " and " living forever " - thought it sounded great - until I found out it was a lie.
What do/did you enjoy about being a JW ? : Nothing whatsoever.
What is your best/fondest memory ? : Going to visit my JW mother's NON-JW parents ( my non-JW grandparents ) at their summer mountain cabin up at a remote lake in the mountains for a two week vacation each summer when I was aged 7 to 10 years old. THOSE are some of the happiest memories I have. Fishing with my grandpa, BBQing salmon on their deck at the cabin, the smell of the mountains and mountain air, the trees - those are my happiest memories.
What is your funniest memory ? : Haven't had a lot of " funny " memories as a JW. Mostly frustrating and sad memories. My funniest memories have been AFTER I exited the JW organization. Just having fun with my son, his girlfriend, and my wife. Lots of fun times playing music, singing, hiking in the mountains - some really fun and funny times.
If alive in 1975 as a JW , do you remember it ? What are your memories as a JW ? I remember as a teenager in 1975 Circuit Overseers and speakers from the platform getting everybody whipped up into an emotional frenzy claiming that the District and Circuit assemblies would probably be our last in " Satan's wicked system " and that starting in 1976 we'd very well be having our first assemblies in the " Paradise earth ". Those exact words were used over the platforms at Jehovah's Witness congregations and Kingdom Halls. I got whipped up into the frenzy as well as a young teenager spending 102 hours a month out in service knocking on doors trying to allegedly " save people's lives " - but it was all for nought. It was a lie, Armageddon never happened. Me and millions of other people wasted our lives on a pipedream , ordered by WT Governing body members to do so who knew nothing themselves, they just PRETENDED to know something we did not. So most of my JW memories are of being " used " or more accurately " used up " by the WT organization and lots of wasted years.
Can you think of anything positive or good about the Watchtower organization ? : No.
Do you believe the JW's have " the truth " ? : No, not at all.
Would you recommend being a JW and why do you answer thus ? : No, I do NOT recommend that anybody becomes a JW at all. Run for your life from this high control organization. You will lose your freedom of mind to a mind control cult that will suck all the emotional, mental, and physical energy you have left in your body. It will suck away the time you have in your life to do the bidding of WT leaders so they can sustain their Bilion $$$$ organization for their own financial betterment. Meanwhile- your financial betterment becomes non-existent as you donate time, money, effort into a huge organization that really doesn't care about your welfare. YOU as a person- really do NOT matter. What matters to WT leaders is the advancement of WT organizational interests - not individual interests. So if you cherish your freedom of mind do NOT join this organization.
Please tell us what you want us to know about being a JW : As a JW you will NOT be told the total truth about what's going on in a criminal way within the WT organization. Criminal child abuse is being covered up. People have been DFed for telling the truth about existing pedophiles among Jehovah's Witnesses. According to court documrents there are 23,000 known JW pedophiles right now in the WT Society database in their own computers that they know about. WT Society REFUSED to hand over this information at the order of the courts costing them 13.5 million $$$$ due to the standing in contempt of court. ( Bet you weren't told this at your local Service meeting announcements ) People have died due to following the WT Society leaders instructions about not receiving blood transfusions. WT Society continues to request money and financial support from poorer JW's so as to finance the " worldwide witnessing work " - which when translated is really financing the " WT Society property and real estate land grab work ".
So that's it. WT Society is a real estate marketing company disguised as a religion intent on furthering it's Billion $$$ empire at the expense of the widow's mite, the poorer JW's, and entrap the minds and freedoms that people once had before they join this mind control cult. WT Society is a criminal organization with criminal intent all done with a smile on the face of Stephen Lett on JW.org T.V. Run people , run away from this ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Brave high school student exposes abuse and corruption within Jehovahs witnesses

Aside from the child abuse newscasts about Candace Conti on ABC Nightline and PBS Newshour - I believe this young lady's you tube is one of the most important I've seen in some time that might be able to reach a broad audience about WT Society corruption. This needs to be kept bumped up in order for the public to see the injustices and crimes of the Jehovah's witness organization as she does a sterling job in hitting all the hot points . Especially in sharing personal experiences of people she talked with who were victimized themselves by WT Society policies. Out of the mouths of babes true wisdom will ascend for sure. Great job young lady ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper -

This kind of thing is what NEEDS to keep happening in order to continually expose the injustices and crimes of the WT Society. As mentioned the WT Society cannot defeat the social media. With over 200,000 views in such a short period of time word will spread. A brave young woman to have the courage to do this. She is giving all of us a good motivating kick in the rear end as well to do similar things. If we all speak out in our own way and time- much information access and awareness will be able to be given to WT Society crimes. Thanks WT Free for making this you tube known -

My god, what a beautiful, courageous young woman. I cried some tears at the end to be sure. What a brave , upright, just, kind thing for her to share with her classmates. If only one of them is protected and prevented from joining the Jehovah's Witness cult and possibly sharing this information and you tube with other young people or others- it's a successful sharing of information.
WT Society is a criminal organization that needs to be exposed. With this brave young woman doing this as well as others the WT Society will continue to be exposed for it's crimes. My heart aches for this young lady, her mom and others here and elsewhere who have suffered so much- including myself. Thanks for sharing this Watchtower-Free - a very important you tube indeed

Armageddon in 1975 'probability' or 'possibility'? Irrefutable Proof the Watchtower Said 1975 Was "Game Over!"
by PhilsWager2 init's hard to know where to put this link to a polish book some of you older members probably read, while our newer members are seeking answers to questions the watchtower vehemently deny's!
do i put this under "jw scandals" or "jw beliefs"?
for decades without the internet many of us did not have access to all the publications written by early watchtower writers because access was hard, only men like raymond franz jr(god rest his brave soul) had the golden key for entering the library of all publications jws made.. can some of the older members remember people who sold their homes and others who bought things in the summer or fall of 1974 knowing they won't be paying for their purchases because jehovah will destroy all the creditors records when he kills them!

I was a young teenager in 1975 and I remember Circuit Overseers like Floyd Kite coming around giving really fanatical, exciteable talks telling the congregation that in 1974 that " whether or not we will have another assembly in this system of things or not- we don't know- but Jehovah willing we may be having our next district convention in Paradise next year ! " Crazy statements like those kinds of statements whipped up a frenzy of false anticipation within JW's at that time and made people even MORE excited to go out knocking on doors trying to allegedly " save people's lives ". I was one of those young JW's that got whipped into a frenzy at that time as well because my dad was an elder and way back then I bought into the crap- it's what I was raised with.
I remember as a young 15 year old in one month in my summer vacation getting in 102 hours in service one month and placing 212 magazines in one month. I look back now and I think " what a fanatic nutcase I was ! " But I was caught up in the group hysteria that was sweeping through ALL JW's at that time. And we have WT leaders, overzealous C.O.'s and D.O.'s to thank for it. Before the decade of the 1970's was over I was in my late teens spending time trying to date my JW girlfriend and figure how to be alone in back seats of cars with her more than pioneering or going out in service. Went back to getting 10 hours a month in and got married at 19 years old in 1979 ! LOL.
So the old " hysteria " thing only works so long on so many people . As Barnum said, " you can fool some of the people some of the time, but can't fool all of the people all of the time. " Now we finally have our freedom of mind and THAT is what I treasure

Who Is Your Favorite Late Show Talk Host Of All Time?

Johnny Carson was the best in who I liked. As Desirous mentioned he had such a quick wit and quick humor you didn't need to " think " if he made you laugh- you just did. Carson's guests were incredible Don Rickles, Rodney Dangerfield, lots of off the wall comedians as well which kept the show interesting and moving. I think Jimmy Fallon is really good and in time if he sticks around he may one day get near to what Carson was- but I doubt it. Carson was an original , don't think we'll see another talk show host like him
