A very good video series on why the Jehovah's Witnesses are so illicitly corrupt of an organization
by Homerovah the Almighty inthis video series on you-tube is one of the better ones explaining the decisive corruption of the organization.
and how people are treated by the organization when they are just simply seeking the truth.. its bit long winded at times but the speakers get directly to the point and makes things quite clear.. the people commenting are all ex-jws of course but they were very close to the higher levels of the organization.. have a watch and listen and see what you think for yourself.......hta.

Good news ,My son has researched the witnesses on his own !
by troubled mind inover the past three years i have dropped a few points about why i am no longer attending meetings .
nothing in depth .. i did stress alot of it was due to never feeling good enough , the emotional pressure to follow organizational rules over my own conscience and my personal objection of how education is discouraged .
i also have shared with my kids their whole life that when i was raised ,armegeddon fears were rammed down my throat ,something i refused to do to them .. i have worried excessivly how my older two sons would respond to me once they realized i am never going back .. well my son came home for a visit to go out and celebrate my birthday this weekend !

"Knowing" movie- predictions about the end of the world
by JimmyPage inthis wasn't a perfect movie but it had some great special effects scenes involving a plane crash, a subway crash, and uh, deer.
i won't give anything away but i was really surprised at how far this movie took its story.
most of us have had dealings with end of the world predictions, so this movie is pretty pertinent to the forum..

Feeling well sad/depressed
by Ohio Nana inmy jw daughter wanted me to come to the meeting tonight as the d.o.
is there this week and giving the talk and i sort of said i would but i just can't make myself get dressed in my jw duds and go.
i haven't seen my granddaughters for a month since they live 20 minutes from kh one way and i live about 20 minutes from it in the other direction.i think i kept going as long as i did just to see them.not that my daughter won't let me see them but with school and all the jw stuff they are busy every evening seems like.and i don't like to make waves since daughter is dealing with her husband being df'd and has so much stress without me adding to it.i try to be understanding and hope she will wake up one day and be free of the jw's.her husband was a jw and got her into it and now he is df'd and enjoying it alot but she is carrying on with it.reading your life story posts helps me so much.i wish i could get her to read some of them.. .
