new to the site.
currently i am a ministerial servant and was told i was appointed to be an elder.
i told the brothers i was not ready for that assignment.
Was it mentioned that Crisis of Conscience was written by GB member Ray Franz. He came to the realization that he had to stand up and be counted!
Huge welcome to you and all our new friends who are flooding into exjw forums and running out of watchtower!

i'm referring to the video that was uploaded where they finally mentioned the child abuse issue.
we all kinda guessed that if they ever addressed it they'd blame it on the media and apostates.
well, looks like we were spot on.
Excellent quotes guys, thanks for that. So easy to forget all the crap they print .......a reminder is so helpful.
Mike & Kim are talking about Lett's liars video, plse have a look. just a bit into the video.
it amazes me how much power mind control can have over your emotions, your behavior and thoughts.
let me explain, apathy has taken over a close family that my wife and i care about.
the cognitive dissonance within this family is huge.
Everyone reacts according to their own experience, just be so glad that you can see wt for what it is. The emotions seem to be like a block of ice that melts slowly slowly .......and then.... all that is left is just a faint indentation.

they're baaaack!!!
jws "tabling" at my student center again, first time in over six months.
i wonder if the fact it's been 15 degrees out had anything to do with it?
Isn't it strange how I never saw the jws audacity, to go right into the institutes of education ..........when beneath their phony smiles, they dismiss and repudiate education! The fricken nerve!

in the life story of am3 i just had to laugh about the following.
"i must confess, however, that when i first learned the truth, i was not very tactful...".
ha ha ha... as if he is tactful today..
Seems to have a 'John Wayne' affect to his voice, along with that cocky little lip sneer as he talks out of the side of his mouth! Tough guy I guess. The T Morris the Third thing is so pretentious!
which of these activities did you hate/bothered you the most?
rank them from 1-5 with the most hated to the least.. .
field service.
GeeVee .....isn't that a freeing feeling! Just begin eating and loving it.
No more phoney ritual!

Adding one that got awkwardly in the way all the time....bowing your head in a restaurant & thanking god for the food! Got to be so meaningless. Just holding that pose long enough to be sure everyone else had lifted their heads. Felt like a freak!
Other than that ....hated book study night the most.

hi all, i haven't posted here in a while, felt like a break and have been insanely busy, i don't think too much about jw stuff now, but wanted to pop in anyway.
have i missed anything recently?.
i am very happy, much to my surprise, i think it would be nice to go back to the end of 2013 and tell the depressed and lonely version of me that he can't even comprehend how good life could be.
Nice to see you here & best of all that you are free & happy! Very encouraging for all of us. What are you doing now ... working, family etc? What one thing would you recommend to a newly awake jw?

been away from the site for a few days...because i have been busy getting these!!!!!!
(pixel, thank you!
) they did not make it easy, plus technical difficulties.. for the main attraction:.
Only Elders are allowed to view the program.
HAHAHAHAHAHA

alert..............alert.....breaking news .......... john cedars of jwsurvey has pranked called governing body member anthony morris iii at bethel .
over 2 minutes of pranking .
as i type he is editing the recording into a video .
After leaving wt, one of the most liberating & freeing things was to limit the judging of others. What fantastic gift!
It would be difficult to deal in a serious, sane, adult way with these head honcho's. They are a boys club, making up the rules as they go along.
Lloyd's conversation could have gone a thousand different directions ....why would we change it....it is what it is.
Personally I think it was a bit of alright! It felt like a further invasion into their silly little club. A club of deluded men who have caused the death of many, one way or another. Whole lifetimes were wasted & put on hold ... for nothing. The scripture that says they "would give food at the proper time"......well guess what ....it wasn't at the right time! That whole long suffering generation is dead! Those of us who remember it, will soon enough join them. My children saw some of the craziness, but my grandchildren know next to nothing of watchtowers past deeds!
Our greatest job may be to make sure that this cult is ripped open for all to see.
Lloyd thank you for the inroad you made into the belly of the beast!
