josh here, new to the board.
glad to know this site is here.. i would not be writing this if it were not 2014. i was a ministerial servant and regular pioneer who left the jehovahs witnesses back in 1995/96, around that time.
i left suddenly, didnt fade away, just left when something clicked one day in my head during the morning shower and made me realize this religion wasnt true.
Hello there Josh.....you are funny!!!!!!
Loved your post, a big welcome to you!

have you ever heard that statement?
i have heard it many times and i just don't know what to do with it.
they are chosing a to live a lie because they like the lifestyle.
"I don't care if it's teachings are false, I'd never leave because it's the best way of life"

Those were the last words a good 'friend'
ever said to me!

watching the world.
''every year, nearly 3 million babies die within the first month of life, most from preventable causes.
more than a third of these babies die on their first day of life" - save the children international.
Dripping with irony this morning ...aren't we!
No wonder we do.... knowing, as we do,
about the hypocritical words & deeds of this
deadly cult!
Thanks for posting that Xan.

"from time to time, there have arisen from among the ranks of jehovah's people those, who, like the original satan, have adopted an independent, faultfinding attitude...they say that it is sufficient to read the bible exclusively, either alone or in small groups at home.
but, strangely, through such 'bible reading,' they have reverted right back to the apostate doctrines that commentaries by christendom's clergy were teaching 100 years ago.
the watchtower, aug. 15, 1981.. .
"All scripture is inspired.................................
that the man of god may be fully competant,
completely equipped for every good work"

two things finally struck me:.
for now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now i know in part, but then i will know fully just as i also have been fully known.. _______________________.
unconscienceless rat basterds!
i have been lurking and reading for a couple weeks now.
i love the topics and it has inspired me to say hello to all my fellow apostates.
i was awakened to how my family feels about me and my wife shortly after the international assembly.
Speed ...so sorry that this has happened to you too!
An familiar evil story.
When the shun becomes overt, and undeniable......
I felt gutted.....and no doubt you did too.
Hang in there and really dig for the truth about
everything you are not sure about.
Glad you have your wife & sons...so there is
some immediate comfort for you.
There are many newbies coming on here
everyday, so you have good company.
Welcome & best wishes to you & the Mrs.

when i first learned about the bull $#@!
about the cult that i am in, i reached out to my good friend who brought me into this organization through a study.
this man is wonderful human being & i thought would be understanding to my struggles.
Made the mistake of mentioning that I found out
that the gb say they are the mediators for us, not
christ. Well big reaction, my friend loudly stated that
this is a lie..............:-( !!!!!
Going on two years now......still no contact & she
still has not looked it up to prove if I was a 'liar'or not!
So my friendship wasn't worth very much to her!

Omg these people are so damaged in the head!
three months ago i had to stop driving my car.
it wouldn't pass inspection and it would cost about $3k to get it up to par.. well, it's a 98 honda accord with about 179 thousand miles on it, what did i expect?.
.. i decided i would switch to riding a bicycle instead.. it has worked out fairly well.. i put about 10 miles a day on it.
Really nice looking bike Terry, so sorry
this happend to you.
where can i find stickers warning locals we have two pedophiles in our congregation and they enjoy parking near middle schools watching the girls walk by?
they are not on the sex registry because the elders did not call the police in the 1990s, so these pedophiles think their home free!.
how can i warn the town i live in jw pedophiles are spending lots of time going door-to-door?
This is what the cards look like.......send some
in your town.

i'm giving 3 examples of this practice--that i know of personally.. .
my first wife--born in--divorced me over 30 years ago.
she totally shuns our son--now 38--d/f'd and now happily married and enjoying life to the max.. my pioneer partner--from the mid 60's-----he totally shuns his daughter---to the point of even ignoring her in the street.. a close friend of mine--in the 60's and 70's-----i was best man at his wedding.
SG.........
#1. You have an equal right to post on here as
everybody else! No shunning here.
Thank you for sharing your information, hope
to see you again. Congratulations on
waking-up from this damaging cult, and
wishing you all the best!
