its a gradual awakening and everyone reacts differently, myself I found an huge sense of joy,relief about finding TTATT, but I was having to deal with a different set of problems in regards to a failing marriage,unemployment( I did find good employment very shortly after we separated) moving away and eventually divorce , I really did hit rock bottom during the last year together as I watched it all fall apart, I simply was unable to cope, but the sense of starting out again after I'd moved away and I found a new purpose in life, a renewed energy, life turned around so quickly and so much for the better, but we leave wounded by it we take away scars to our graves after investing so much time,emotion and energy in it. I can really understand the deep rooted mental health problems that people develop;anxiety/panic attacks,depression,PTSD etc but time is a wonderful healer, we do move on. Looking back it all seems so ridiculous that we were sucked into this scam but the amazing thing I've found is being able to help others escape from them and wake up. Look forward to the rest of your life TheLiberator!

I wouldn't class him a decent at all, just think how much misery he contributed to peoples lives with their dreadful policies over the years and remained silent throughout, what was the words that spewed out through his dirty mouth during Ed Dunlaps JC, "we are not here to discuss the bible with you" from a man who claimed to be spirit appointed as a member of the governing body, sorry no misty eyed reminiscing from me. -

JWs' love to brag about preaching but.....
by pleaseresearch inif what they are preaching about is untrue and false, does it really count?
i mean over the 100 years plus we have been going, how much of what we taught was absolute crap.
how many things taught about never came true.

WTBTS vs. Islam
by kairos inthe articles and meeting parts have been missing something all along, as far as i can see.. jws are taught to demonize all 'worldly' ( not jws) organizations, individuals and religions as having no value only to be destroyed by god at 'harm-you-gettin'-( armageddon ).. why do they not mention islam?no scathing denouncements?.
the only publication i really remember, was the "mankind's search for god" book that touched on the beliefs and practices of muslims.. why do you think this is the case?.

wasn't the Mankind's Search for God fairly critical of all belief systems ie Buddhism/Hinduism/Confuciusism/Islam etc, basically the theme of the book concluded with a summary of these world wide belief systems and that they are all wrong,steeped in false worship and only WE are right and only WE are doing gods will? I seem to remember it was a book that heaped so much ridiculous vanity upon them. -

Korean News : CoC in Korean
by AntiEntropy inhi bros.. after my father's publishing his book, "15 questions after 40 years of jw" , many ex-jw bros in korea became motivated to rush to the coc korean project.
however any secular project needs a fund eventhough it's a not-for-profit.
fortunately, a bunch of bros decided to donate generously $300~$7,000 to this unprofitable business.

I'm not a publisher am I? and you know that, experts in the field have offered their services and they have been rebuffed, I'll leave the printing to the experts. -

over 130 years of unadulterated utter nonsense peddled throughout the Earth and its still as insane now as it was then, fortunately there are tools availiable to instantly scrutinise it and dismiss it for what it is, garbage. -
