Hmmm ..oh good....did I hear kate's dumped
the whole damn thing!!!!
i have been back to meetings for a month now.
prepared for them all except for when i went on holiday.. todays wt is about jehovah's organisation, it's clear loaded language and manipulation through fear.
i am not perturbed by it in the least.

i've been browsing the site for some time as things that the society teach just are not adding up much these days.
by exploring some of the threads on here i'm starting to see why.
a brief bio.
Purr ....great to have you here! If you want answers
just ask for references or proof....there is a SEARCH on
the top, lefthand side of this page...type in your subject
& viola ... massive info! Hang on for a great roller coaster
ride...................it is exhilarating!......and a bit scary.
All the best

i thought it was high time to introduce myself (without my name of course).
as my name would suggest i have been reading your intriguing post, thoughts and discussions for some time now.
around 3/4 months to be exact.. i guess to start with it would seem fitting to give a little background on my current situation.. i'm a born-in, but have over the last few years found that through a number of varying occurences, (some of which i may discuss in future posts) that my 'zeal' has gone from regular field service and meetings to no service in over a year and very sporadic meeting attendance.
Hi lurkernomore & the Mrs.... good for you both
and a huge welcome to this site!
Lovely news to to hear this morning, it brings a
smile to my face! The ship is sinking & we feel
so happy when more jws just take a running jump
right off it!
clarity
i hope no one here get's injured when they see this and their jaw hits the floor:.

Fun is fun, but given the history...this is just HIPPOCRASY!
Thumbing their noses at the long line of those doggedly faithful
slaves! All those years, all that self denial, all that obedience!
HA!
The only ones who could be glad about this switch,
are the younger jws.......and that is the point!
Watchtower is standing on its head to try to hold them in!
The floodgates have been opened & the new line now is...
"have the time of your life"!

i am 46 and have been a jw for only 6 years.
i was doing ok until about a month ago.
we were having an international convention and i heard the brother that had to pick up 2 of the members of the governing body had to get a background check done on him and his wife.
Welcome to the site Justme ...you will find
support here while you get your feet back
under you. Clear your mind from all the
nonsense jw's spew out & start a real
foundation for living!
Best wishes to you young man.

we miss you grace:) wish i could post pictures.
Oh glad you popped-up Grace ....we miss you!
Getting older sure isn't for sissies ...I am finding
that out! Hang in there.
Hugs, clarity
can you imagine what this world would be like today , with 7 billion people , if their were never , ever a religous concept in anybodys mind ?.
wouldnt this world be such a better place to be in if it was devoid of all religion ?.
if religion never existed from the time man/woman first walked the earth until now how do you see , pros or cons , how humakind would fare today.. as i said in my o.p.
recently a jw friend that my wife & i knew 3 years ago added me on facebook, after i accepted the request she invited me to a dinner that her and her husband are holding next month.. i imagined that she was unaware of our apostasy, so i declined the invitation on the basis of not wanting to ruin her dinner after the rest of her guests fled at our presence.. i'm never sure how old friends will react when i tell them that i'm no longer a jw.. usually their response is "..... permanent-silence......".
her response went something like this, " we are all out!
everyone that is coming is out we all look forward to seeing you guys so much" it turns out that there will be 6 people at the dinner all friends of ours from a congregation that we attended a few years back.. they have all left the organization recently.. pretty crazy experience..
Oh wow that IS awesome! Warms up my heart too!
Shed a tear or 2........guess I just long to be around
people who know!

i just spent 30 minutes writing this story and lost it all before i hit submit.
i'll try to be brief.. last night a former co-worker of my wife's called saying he was on his way to the house to drop off a job he would like her to do.
we haven't seen him in over 8 years.
Question ...a big welcome to you! lots of
newbies to keep us all company...nice
to have fresh faces & minds that are opening!!!!

gb member anthony morris mentioned a letter that was sent to bethel by a concerned jw fearing the gt.
he mentioned it on the last sunday talk.
i always wondered if any letter sent to bethel ever reached gb eyes.
Oh yeah .....and what about those "go bags"?
And here's me thinking we were supposed to
trust in jehoba and not rely on protecting our
own survival!!!!!!
Have a listen to what our friends have to say! :-)
