Where did you sit in the KH?
by Evidently Apostate inthe official wt understanding on where to park your butt during the meeting is to move around from meeting to meeting in order to get in more association or whatever but i never really saw things that way.
the kh seating arraingment at my hall went as follows;.
if you sat in the front you were really late or wanted to seem really spiritual.. the elders and pioneers always liked the same seats every meeting.. shiftless ones and those who wanted sympathy for thier back ailments would stand in the back during the talks.. ever had a sister in your hall bring in their own chair and footstool?.

Let the children come to me and do not stop them!
by Evidently Apostate indid the christ have a different line of thought other than using them as an example of teachableness and meekness?
i often wonder how he would feel about his people using the young as examples of integrity putting great responsibility on them coaching them to set up thier own magazine route.
instead of enjoying association participating in school sports where valuable charicter traits are learned such as sportsmanship, assertion, generosity, and trust the "spiritual youth" will devote his energies to the studying of doctrines that bless the slaughter of billions, that only by living a life of slavery to a leadership that forgoes compassion, tolerance, and forgivness will they not be put to death.

im not lying about my time anymore, my wife does it for me
by Evidently Apostate inhavent been out in cult recruiting in 7 months but mama keeps putting in slips with a couple hours on it even though i tell her not to.
bless her for keeping the elders off my back.
i really want her to stop doing this though as i would welcome a minor confrontation with them now that i have a "brazen" attitude..

my blueprint for saving my family
by Evidently Apostate infor over a year i have felt the borg is a cruel hurtfull religion that would swallow up empathy for forced unity.
my wife has said to me that telling her how i believe the org is not gods channel and the many doctrines put in place are nothing but a shroud covering up control tactics is like telling her i have a terminal illness.
this has not swayed my research nor has her pressure to continue going to meetings.

another family destroyed by jehovahs happy organization
by Evidently Apostate inas i sit down and type this i have realized that if i could have seen into the future and known that this post would need to be created (for my own peace of mind anyway) i know i would have never given the jws a minute of my time.
a little background: i have been a jw for 20 years and found a wonderful woman in the religion she was a pioneer when i met her, an elders girl but that did not matter to me , it was and always has been her compassion and love for people that endeared me to her and we have been happily married for almost my 20 year tenure as a jw.
we have several children one of them is a teenage boy.

they have started to shun my child. its working perfectly!
by Evidently Apostate insometimes control tactics backfire especially when directed to a mothers child.
she is pissed bigtime at some in the hall who keep thier kids away from our son.
she has seen the mental abuse before but this affects her and the maternal instinct kicks in.
