My dad wont talk to me anymore and lies about me behind my back. He is also an elder
That says a lot about this religion.

Well done foolsparadise!!!!
Once it hits you that it's all BS you can't help but run for your life. Great to hear that you and your family are out and your kids will grow up normal. You pretty much saved your kids lives by leaving, I wish my parents did the same when I was little, I wasted 30 years in this shitty religion. AWESOME to be out of it and see it for what it is.

what was it like growing up in a jehovahs witness household?.
growing up in a jehovahs witness household was very confusing.
i learned very early on what hypocrisy meant.
Thank you Hairyhegoat & Heaven for sharing your stories
My life has been crap as well (Oh what a surprise), welcome to the land of Jeehoobah's Shitty religion where dreams come true and where blessings are poured onto us until there is no more want! What utter BS!!

i'm excited people!
this week i will be absent from my first assembly ever!
i can't wait to sleep in and not sit out in the cold helping people park.
Last assembly I took my MP3 player, pretended like I was using the record feature, and listened to music instead.
Excellent idea for any who are still in and need to escape the propaganda talks for hours on end!
Smart Mr Freeze, very smart.

i feel like not being part of anything since god knows when.
i ve tryed, but to make a long story short: i don t fit in to anything.. i can t get out of these bleeding depressions.
so i ll go out tonight for the last time in my life and take an overdose at the end.. its been nice meeting you all.
Varian please stop - I felt like giving up years ago and today I am happy I'm still here. Things can improve, please seek help. Or at least let it all out here and let us here try to help . . .
my mother-in-law called me today and said that she is sending us a dvd that came out at summer convention about the history of the organization and why it is "being used by jehovah".
she asked if we would watch it cause she knows that we don't think wts is being used by god.
i told her that we would watch it and send back to her.
And there's at least one incredibly misleading statement that should raise a few eyebrows amongst seasoned dubs: The claim that the "Bible Students" were coming to "the realization that Jesus returned invisibly in 1914".
This lie stands out to anyone who has the WT CD-Rom library.
They believed Jesus came in 1874, they believed this until 'New Light' was printed in 1943 (29 years later) in the book 'the truth shall make you free'.
Open the WT CD-Rom & go to the book 'God's Kingdom has approached' (ka), page 209 and read all of paragraph 55.
It proves it so clearly!
Then after they see that, simply ask: "Why are they still lying to us?"
