New here
by Stimorol ini've been lurking this board the past few days and reading a lot.. i'm a 30 year old male from an unnamed european country, i was brought up "in the faith" by my jw-parents (my father is an elder and was even the "head elder" (i guess that's not the proper english term, english isn't my mother language) for a while, although i believe he stepped down when i faded away, but was reinstated as an elder later.
i never really had any interest in religion or god, not even as a child, even with my perfect jw upbringing.
it always felt like a chore and i did my jw duties, but just the bare minimum i could get away with, living at home with jw parents (attending the 3 meetings every week, and going to do field work 1 hours on saturdays).. at around age 15-16 i got baptized, i was not directly pressured to do it but some hints were made by parents/elders.

How can they still believe it?
by eyesthatsee ini've been watching this site for some time now - it's been a real help - but only recently started to post.
part of the journey i suppose.. 3rd generation jw, served as an elder for > 20 years, talks at dc, pioneer etc - started to fade in last 12 months - will post my story sometime.. anyway, occasionally i still go to a meeting to keep my zealous jw wife away from the elders.. at a recent public talk, the speaker referred to 'millions now living will never die', and said:.
although 'premature', this proclamation was made by zealous anointed ones i.e.

Are these things still frowned upon/banned?.
by zzaphod inthinking back, there were a few things i was told then, that now seem rather odd and petty.
i was wondering if these thing are common in the wts or was it just that my girlfriend at the time was a pioneer, and her father was an elder.
(so perhap a bit more "enthusiastic" than others).

Time To Vent Part 2: So I've Been Studying With My Wife...
by tryingtoexit in...for the past month or so, and i've been showing my wife little by little why i am no longer "living" as a witness.
so far...she has been very receptive, understanding my points, and hasnt been giving me any trouble.
i think she's really getting it, but then today comes.... she says "i see all the flaws of this religion and i respect your feelings, but this is the best way that i want to worship".

Anyone listen to The Overcomer Ministry?
by zzaphod ini sometimes listen to this chap (brother stair) on my shortwave set, he`s on the air on 6.110mhz and audible here in the uk between about 14.00 and 17.00 gmt.. or can be heard on his website (i won`t post a link, because it`s the messiest website i`ve seen, and for some reason causes my pc to hang), but you can find it via google if interested.. i ask this question in the entertainment section, because although he rambles on about the last generation, yahweh, and the rest, he`s also a bit of a conspiracy nut.. i find him entertaining, even funny at times.. if nothing else this chap is devoted to his message, i don`t think i could really take him seriously as a minister though.. i was wondering if he has a large following in the usa, he`s based in walterboro, north carolina.. i`ve travelled around the south east of the usa a couple of times, including nc, but i don`t remember hearing him on the am band when i was last there.. btw talk radio in america is the funniest thing i`ve ever heard, much better than our stuffy, and definitely un-funny bbc, which sounds more and more like pravda as time goes by.. .
all the best.
