i just told them where i work as a volunteer, that i am going to a workshop for those that have left a cult tomorrow.
they were all fascinated and wanted to know which cult i had belonged to.
i said jw's and this one guy said i he used to be one of them.
For 25 years after my DF I was so naïve as to believe that dubs have the truth. I was DF:d so long ago that I did not even learn the the word apostate. Untill I had Internet I had been contenplating to return, but then came the eye opener. I had to sacrifice first 50 years of my life to became a xjw.

a story out of roanoke, virginia tells of the murder of an 82 year old woman by her daughter.
the daughter believed that the end of the world would be in the year 2000 at the millennium.
an interesting comment was made by her brother: "anyone that can condone someone murdering their mother--i don't judge them; that's up to jehovah god.
As far as I know the WTBTS has never put forth any millenium predictions for the end of the world.
They have made few references to that direction:
"The apostle Paul was spearheading the Christian missionary activity. He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century." {WT Jan 1 1989 12} [bound volume changed "20th century" to "day"]
".. there are many indications that 'the end' is much closer than that [the turn of the century]" {WT Mar 1 1984 18-9}
"Shortly, within our twentieth century, the 'battle in the day of Jehovah' will begin against the modern antitype of Jerusalem, Christendom." {TNSK 216}

lately i've been hearing a lot of people saying and talking about how they are "saved".. saved from what?
whats this crap all about?.
yeah, i was saved once too, but all the air went out of my preserver and i'm drowning!
Being saved once is only half as much as being saved twice. However, I have been lucky/fortunate for being saved three times. At the age of 4 from drowning, at 15 from electricuting myself and at 33 with an operation and a blood transfusion from bleeding to death.
