How I obtained my personal files from Bethel
by jwfacts init has taken me a long time, but i have finally put together an article outlining how i used the law to force bethel to send me my personal files.
it is a very long article full of scans, so i have linked to it at http://jwfacts.com/watchtower/experiences/personal-files-privacy-act-1988.php.
in brief, in 2006 i requested that bethel send me my files on the basis that the australian privacy act 1988 entitles people to receive a copy of any information a corporation holds about them.

Stayed up all night, see it is a cult now.
by gutted ini really needed to find a place to write this as i don't believe i can talk with anyone else about my account, perhaps it is similar to a lot of yours.. last night for whatever reason i said i would go online and look up information on jws.
i have been raised as a jw all my life and baptized the last few years.
i looked at www.freeminds.org and www.sixscreensofthewatchtower.com and couldn't believe how easily the whole of my lifes teachings were refuted.. i can't stop my brain from running, bs just in regards to theology alone (1914, paradise earth, celebrations etc.

Changing of the Guard
by man in black ini work at a local community college, and for the past two years i would notice the witnesses had a table in a student area.. usually it would have 2-4 witnesses sitting there talking to each other, or yacking on their cell phones.. but the big attraction was the banner, it was long enough to cover two card tables end to end (12-15 feet).. it said "the watchtower and awake magazines" like that alone is going to attract students.... .
this afternoon i strolled by and noticed that they have a new banner.. white background with the words :why do we suffer" in bold letters.
i thought that was pretty strange..

Gray hairs and the Stress of Coming Out of the WTS
by Scott77 into many, coming out of the cult- griping wts's enslavement, mind control and bondage to freedom have not been an easy journey.
some have developed stress, depression, other committed sucide, had broken marriages, severed family and social relationship.
still, others had to contend for years, the scourge of emotional turmil on their lives.

PARADISE EARTH OR HEAVEN? OR BOTH?
by exjw2814 inthe jw's teach about the hope we have for living on a paradise earth.
