jst2laws is toast!.
after 29 years i am officially no longer serving as an elder.
those who knew i was still serving would only be surprised that i took so long.
Amazing
That brother I referred to in my post I gather was you.
I thoroughly enjoyed that experience. I thought it very well done. I copied it to use on my family when the time came.
Thank you

I like reading others experiences like this. It makes me feel like theres hope for my family. Thank you for sharing, though I'm sorry it may put your family at risk.
after 10 years in the full-time work, 6 at Bethel, 17 as a presiding overseer, with a variety of circuit and district responsibilities.
I would love to hear how you go where your family is concerned as you make progress.
I understand that you haven't left the org entirely, there is so much at risk. I have but they nor my family knows that yet. Someone said to me "what does it matter if everybody knows", but they don't understand the 'big' picture.
I'm sure all will go well for you with your family. I read an experience of one brother who studied with his family and did it in such a way that they saw the org for what it was too. I take me hat off for his patience, it was worth it though.
My best wishes go out to you

i'm just wondering if it is because i have changed and have gained my freedom from the watchtower enslavement or i just don't care anymore or is it that i have been exposed to too much of the same old complaints about the borg and all the false prophecies and the lies?.
i must admit i still get pleasure from reports of the watchtower walls starting to crumble al over the civilized world so i guess i'll continue to pop in from time to time.. as far as trying to de-program and rescue the poor unfortunate brainnumbed watchtower slaves, i think it's a total waste of time after all how do get through to people who prefer to believe in the lies when they know they are lies but they just don't want to see the real truth about the "truth(tm)".
i gues they don't want to see the real truth because it would force them to start thinking for them selves again and for some people that is just too much of a burden to bear.

I feel like that sometimes, thats why I don't read everything on the board. I don't want to become bitter (anymore than I already am )
I gues they don't want to see the REAL truth because it would force them to start thinking for them selves again and for some people that is just too much of a burden to bear.
I agree, its easier to let someone else do their thinking for them.
If you do leave, don't forget us, come back and visit sometimes.
