The fact of the matter is, you have hurt their dignity and reputation in "the truth." They can no longer boast about you being a good JW to their friends and fellow JWs. By leaving, you have disgraced them. This is what it is all about. This organisation is more important than you own flesh and blood grandson. So glad you are out and will not be treating your children and grandchildren in this disgusting manner.

Email from my grandmother yesterday.
by elder-schmelder inhere is an email that my grandmother sent me yesterday.. .
shawn, it's very difficult & sad to come to this decision, but because of your attitude towards the truth & us personally (thinking that we are stupid) we're going to treat you as a disfellowshipped person from now on.
actually, you're worse than them because usually they know they have not kept their oath to jehovah & don't speak abusively of the organization and don't turn apostate.

Seen on the ground at a relatives' house...
by Jim_TX ina couple of weeks ago, my wife and i visited her aunt on saturday.
when we were leaving, i happened to glance down and spotted some 'trash' that had evidently fallen from the door and was down in and among the potted plants that share the porch space.. i instantly knew what it was from the 'look', and reached down and grabbed it as we were walking to our vehicle.. sure enuf, it was a 4-page small pamphlet... some sort of preaching words... (i didn't read them), and then on the back side was a stamped 'invitation' for the person to go to their district assembly the last week in july.. ummm... belton, tx is about 150 miles away from here.
i'm so sure that someone would drive 150 miles to go to something that they just read about on a pamphlet stuck in their door.

What a waste of our natural resources. Any JW materials I get meet with an unglorious fate of being thrown in our dumpster.

The transformation into cult religion: Jehovah's Witness empire in 15 steps
by Terry inthere are only 15 steps from a widely scattered readership of 2nd adventist speculations published by pastor russell into a world wide monolithic control cult.. it reads like a machievellian discourse of absolute power:.
1. nine years after the death of pastor russell his publishing company was being operated by an editorial committee which would review articles pre-publication for the watchtower society.. in 1925 the president of this society (rutherford) offered up an article of extreme controversy.
it was titled the birth of the nation.

I loved the "Going out of business sale" line you used. How truthful in it's simplicity this line is.

Disturbing new YouTube video showing Anthony Morris's approach to teenage baptism
by cedars inif anyone was under the illusion that all baptized jw children become dedicated solely of their own volition, then hopefully this new video should be a wake-up call.. .

(unfortunately, due to the soundtrack i've chosen, this video is apparently banned in germany.

The perfect storm...time to exit the JW's
by Giordano inis this the perfect time to tell family that are still in that you are so upset/devastated/embarassed over the candace conti revelations and trial and what happened to her as a 9 year old witness that you need to step away from field service and the meetings and do a lot of private praying.
you've been stumbled badly and don't know what to think at this time.

Frakiespeakin, thanks for posting the videos. They are very well done. I will indeed ask a jw if they would donate blood so that another witness can use the fractions. Very thought provoking question!
