this is quite embarrassing for me to share, but as a 30+ year old single female i have lingering doubts as to whether i can still meet a decent man and get married.. you all know how difficult it is for sisters to find an appropriate partner in the congregation.. and now, all the more so that i've learned ttatt.
i still am bound by low self-esteem, and i do have trust issues, especially with men.
i am very lonely and so i just keep myself busy with work to avoid depression (although it is also a great source of stress).. any other single females out there having similar thoughts?.
OND..... don't give up if that is what you want!

I was 'kept' in solitary confinement' for decades,
you know........ must not marry out of da truf. Such a self defeating situation!
It would have been helpful if they came right out
and said "hey the watchtower org is 73% female",
so your chances of finding a male are slim to none!

So sweety, get out there where the population is
pretty much 50 -50. You've got 8 billion people
to check out and half of them at least, are male!

"judge" rutherford defined or classified all religion as "a snare and a racket" in his books "religion" and "enemies".. after rutherford's death in 1942, his protege, watchtower vice president, and aclu darling, hayden c. covington, in the early 1950's, for reasons of legal expedience and supremacist aspirations, suddenly converted the watchtower into a religion.. this was done alongside one of the most audacious, spurious and longstanding swindles of the us legal system.
this involved twisting philippians 1:7 and misrepresenting the watchtower's true nature, objectives and activities.. .
this meant that it became necessary for the watchtower to suddenly reclassify and redefine religion (w51 1/15 p. 43 new legal booklet well named; w51 8/15 p. 511 questions from readers; yb75 p. 161 part 2 "for gladys bolton...").. two new watchtower classifications were suddenly created: "true religion" and "false religion".. now "true religion" meant "true beliefs" whilst "belief" in ever changing watchtower doctrine was equated with the one "faith" of scripture.. all this while the watchtower increasingly and maliciously truncated, obfuscated and hid the liberating full "good news" (or unabridged gospel) of scripture, which it lyingly claimed (in court) that it was actually "defending and legally establishing".. how would you have defined religion before learning ttatt?.
George carlin said it best.....................
"Biggest bull sh&t story ever told!"
before i dive into the actual write-up of this experience, let me put some things straight.. i have thought long and hard if i should write more about my experiences during the 10+ years at different branches.
during these years i worked from financial department, service department, home office and different it assignments.
as you can imagine one sees and hears and reads a lot of stuff going through different stations in different countries.
Richard Haley ...welcome to the board Richard,
good to have you.
I disagree that the df reason was not
announced!...... I was shocked to hear
such private details being publically exposed,
such as drunkeness, sexual immorality etc.
This was 1960 in Canada.

ADCMS.... eleven reasons to not give up the fight,
thanks for all 11.
in case you didn't notice the false reason given to you, i've highlighted the 15 times you were told directly, and the 3 times indirectly in the letter from the g.b.!.
so why didn't you reason on the addendum you were given by the org to read out to your congs, which "legalised" this deceptive money-grab from those whom you are supposed to be protecting?
shame on every last one of you for not explaining what was really going to happen to the donations!.
I'm with Carlin!
.
just a random thought......... i just realised that the religion we know as jw is like fairy floss or cotton candy!.
appears to be sweet to newcomers, looks light and fluffy and colourful, but it is bad for your health!.
Just like candy floss ......no substance to it!
Stick your tonque on it & it collapses.
so the rc really sucked, but i made it through.
the propaganda was mind blowing.
i don't know if the crap will be available on the official website or not, but hopefully it gets leaked somehow.
Data ... it is easy to give advice, because we are not
in your shoes exactly. All we can do is hope you take
what you can use from all of this advice & experience.
John Cedars made a comment that "sometimes you just
have to hang your boots on the wall" & let it all out.
( or words to that effect). I couldn't find that vid but
here is a vid about helping his wife to wake-up.

we found some people who were happy to welcome us into their homes, even offering us food and drink.. sometimes, they would flag us down and ask for the magazines, walk miles to the kh meetings, come to our defense if someone got ugly or rude.. now, jw's are either routinely ignored or outright vilified.. no one respects them anymore.. sad.. .
Me either!
