Introduction / My story
by theBGB inhello all, i've just discovered this site and i cant begin to describe how happy i am to have come across it.
i stumbled across this site purely by accident...seriously i was looking at arkham city walkthoughs and a few jumps later i end up here.
i though it was a legit society page at first and thought 'what the hell, this will be good for a laugh', but after reading a few posts well...i couldnt stop reading.

I went to the ASSembly
by MrFreeze ini didn't think i'd ever have a reason to go back to the assembly but my sister was getting baptised so i told her i would go.
i would still like to keep on decent terms with my family who is still in.
otherwise, i would have said no.. there were only a five people that got baptised (four kids and one elderly person).

You guys missed all the fun in the 50's. Sunday meetings were a full 2 hrs. with a 15 minute intermission. Who remembers the book study of the "Babylon" book. Now that was a real snoozer. The book was as big as a Bible. The questions came in their own little book. Ahh the good old days.....

Ahh, the cult caught on the horns of a dilemma. For if, as they claim, they are God's channel, why was the cult not informed by Holy Spirit that 1975 was not the year? Why hurt so many people with a blatant lie? Certainly this would violate the first mandate of the true religion; to love one another. On the other hand, if they thought this one up themselves (which they did), they certainly can't apologize & show themselves up as ordinary men. That would mean it's just an opinion & theirs' suck. Arrogance, lies & hypocrisy. I didn't realize they were the mark of the true religion.

Congratulations Mr. BR; Consider this a stroke of luck. Enjoy the fade. As for leaving a position in the cult; that will soon enough become a non issue. Here we have Bethelites, pioneers, elders & servants. None of us consider losing any of those positions a loss. In the meantime; Live Well......Enjoy Life.

2011 Yearbook= BEARDS are still for non-Witnesses ONLY!!!! Beard Fear?
by Witness 007 in1960's the watchtower pictures showed jesus clean shaven and with short hair {watch 1954 p.511 "why do watchtower books now show jesus with short hair and no beard?
....because he is shown that way in representations that are older than the traditional effeminate looking pictures..."}.
yearbook 2011 p.57 "a bearded man named eric showed up at a congregation in the united states {oh god a bearded man!!!

Introduction
by dontplaceliterature inbefore i begin my introductory post, i would like to mention that a number of my initial comments here may be viewed by several of you as watchtower apologist or as sympathetic to the views of the jehovahs witnesses.
the last thing i want to do is incite a flame war regarding my legitimacy or intentions in joining this forum.
mostly, i would describe myself as on the fence.

Hi DPL; Leaving the WT is a personal venture. Everyone has to consider the cost. The fade works for some. My daughter has been doing this for 12 yrs. Myself, I was too disgusted with the lies to go back. Hope your journey out does not cost too many things dear to you. Best of Luck.

So for every divine intervention there are the thousands of heartbreaking stories of Witnesses who die from terrible disease, unforeseen accidents or violence. Must be those JW blinders in full swing. Idiots.
