Past Organized Attempts to Level the Playing Field with WTBTS
by Band on the Run ini am new to jw dissidents.
a couple of weeks ago i created a post asking what attempts have been made in the past to organize some opposition.
personally, i don't feel it would be fruitful to challenge the wt first amendment benefits.

Mammoths, Mastadons, Siber Tooth Tigers
by NewChapter inso, i've been thinking a lot lately about the chinks in my "spiritual armor" and my journey from jw to atheist.
i realize now it all started with a mastadon.
i visited one of my favorite places, the natural history museum, where i stared contemplatively at lucy.

Surprised reaction
by truthseeker1969 inmy brother who attends meetings was at the hall when they were explaining the "generation" new lite.. he said he was stunned when a rumble went through the congo which he said sounded like "oh here we go again" and then laughing.. the brother sittig next to him said 'what next" and after the meeting a lot of people were mad that instead of leaving what they do not know they re-invented it.. elders were being surrounded by people asking them to explain it.. this happened a few weeks ago but there is also alot of anger at the "mentally diseased " comment made by the gb as people view it as an outright attack on family members.
i think i smell trouble.. he is not one who shuns and told the elders that until they show him where jesus said shun then he will continue to talk to me.. one elder told him that if he persists in talking to me then he could be brought before a committe to which he told him "it would be your funeral".
so me thinks they are truly in a panic!.

Confirmation Bias
by allelsefails ini've read a lot of crap in my life (not just wts) and i have finally found the phrase to describe almost every religious wrting i've read.
"confirmation bias" affects how jws look at historical facts, how dems and repubs look at economic facts, or how all people look at information presented to them.
i still go to meetings every once in a while to make my wife and my boss feel better about me, but sometimes i can't believe how idiotic some things are.

When is it time to fully open up to a spouse
by ihadnoidea inrecently my very active jw wife has been more critical of the wt and some of their stances.
she has particularly been critical of topics that hit home to some of the things going on in lives of our families.
i am still going through the motions as an active servant, but i am mentally out.

One of my doubts I mentioned to my wife was posed as a question by a householder
by ihadnoidea inone of my doubts i mentioned to my wife was actually posed as a question by a householder to her a few days ago.
i have every once in a while mentioned some doubts i have had on the bible.
i usually get the same response, "wait on jehovah".

Went to the special day assembly
by ihadnoidea init was mostly same old information.
the theme was seeking refuge in jehovah.
the part that really only stood out to me is the one knock they took toward education.
