An Active JW Sister Modelling For Me
by pale.emperor insince leaving the borg i jumped both feet first into classes i've always wanted to do but was never "allowed" to.
two of which are life drawing and photography.
i've been studying for almost two years now and have seen more nude men and women in our classes than i care to remember.. today in the photography studio i was working in with three others (two women, one man) we were told we had a new person modelling for us.

Hey BR! Oregon here.
If you haven't already done it. Look up stories on this forum about how people got their loved ones out.
A poster called OpenMind gave his account of how he did it. Called it the "slow drip" method I think. He was able to get his pioneer wife and kids out.
Seems like slow and careful is often the most successful. It worked in my case.

Whole families leaving the Org has increased
by pomo6780 ini have noticed in the uk a few families i used to know while in the borg have exited together.
some include former elders and ministerial servants.
i observed on social media pages that the kids have 'worldly' boyfriends and girlfriends and they look so much happier than they did in the org.

My wife, mother, father (was studying after my mother had been a JW for 40 years) and myself basically all walked away at the same time.
I woke up while I was an elder and waited... waited... several years until my wife woke up, my parents followed soon after.
It gave me ulcers, but it was worth it!
That was about six years ago btw.

ExJW responsible for calling the police at the Warwick protest, NOT Watchtower
by Diogenesister inaccording to the great apostate, who spent time with police officers at the protest, they informed him that it was not watchtower who called the police in but another exjw who briefly attended the protest and subsequently disapproved of the protesters methods...claiming they were being "violent".. i find this very difficult to understand.
anyone who saw the bravery of the women who stood up in the kingdom hall and told the story of their abuse and rape could not fail to feel compassion and offer their support.. i know there are posters on this forum who disagree with me.they worry that such protests play into watchtowers "persecution" complex, and naturally i understand their position.. but really, how long do we have to fear their power over their members, and through their members, us.. many jw's simply do not know the extent of the paedophile problem,.they do not know about malawi, the un, the bloodless surgery guinea pig deaths ( thank you orphan crow), the suicides....i simply don't believe that protests don't work....if there are enough of them, and they are organized, and most of all if we are united...we shall make a difference, and that difference may be your loved one.. https://youtu.be/ffhr9onbdrk.

I agree that these tactics are are incredibly pointless.

No, no it's not the gun laws and access to guns. Maybe the reason 'Merica has so many gun deaths is that the ratio of whacko, violent, assholes is above average. Not much you can do about that.

How Are Ex Elders Treated In The Congregation?

are they respected for their having been elders at one time?
are they treated like crap?.

When I resigned, one of the reasons I gave was that I didn't agree with the "attitudes and actions" of the elder body.
I guess that pissed 'em off.
I didn't quite have the guts to say that was how I felt about the governing body too.
Anyway, even before my "deletion" was announced, the dear elders (and interestingly their wives), started shunning me and making comments that were obviously directed at me. The COBE was undeniably giving me the evil eye during the meetings.
What a huge favor these spiritual giants gave me! Their behavior really helped my wife leave Watchtower World.
Thanks fellas!
