Three months after the elders found out about my dance partner/boyfriend, they gave me the boot.
Thanks elders. That was just what I needed to get on with my life!

for me, it took many years.. even when i would read all the changes over the years from the "truth", i still would ignore it and "wait on jehovah" and try to be a positive force in the congregation.. eventually, i just couldn't take it anymore and resigned as an elder, and slowly but surely made my fade.. what about you?
were you out, in a short or longer time?

when we awaken from the indoctrinated coma of the watchtower corporation and starts to see all the lies and half truths one naturally wonders: does the governing body really believe all the stuff that they have printed in their publication?
are they so indoctrinated that they too are victims of the falsehood that the watchtower prints?
and now with the grandeous claims that the governing body a lone are the faithful and discreet slave of god doing his will do they really beleive such grandeous bullshit?
On another note:
Religion can't survive for much longer. Too many people are waking up.

Religionists have too much power. Power given by their willfully-blinded followers.

has anyone had any first hand experiences with this?
i have googled it several times and it seems right up there with big foot and the loch ness monster.
there are stong emotional writings that describe the events of such, but few peole have very much evidence other then videos of (seemingly) random cars and such.. i ask because i was a rather involved member of the organization and have happily been god-free for 15 years.
The organization is tuned against dissent and members will report one another, too. Just like in George Orwell's "1984"

the only reason i am posting this is because i know many of you are going or will be going through something similar and wonder if it is worth it.
i personally feel that it is worth it regardless of what i lose.
my wife is backing me and i have my children.
Strange how moms always want their kids to stay on the same path as they taught.
When in reality we each have our own path.
Kids are entitled to use their own free will when they choose.
You can still love your mom AND honor your free will!!!

so ever since they discontinues the food service at the assemblies and dcs, jws have been "lovingly encouraged" to pack a light lunch to eat.
the secretary at the hall that i am held hostage in said during the service meeting that even a sub would be too heavy to eat, and that a light salad was the best option.
what do you fine people think is the real reason why, in the absence of food service, jws are told to not leave the building at lunch?
Hmmmm...money or control...
How about...the wts wants to CONTROL your MONEY!
LOL!
