Fiance's Mother is a JW
by Theseus ini am not a jehovah's witness and my fiance is a former jw.
i was also raised as a [insert generic ideological confine here], however, i managed to break away and started thinking freely, emancipated my emotions etc... suffice it to say, i understand the hardships of rebelling against an oppressive ideology against serious emotional and physical odds.
my fiance's struggle was just as difficult.

Any Ex-JW's in The Dallas, TX DFW area?
by troubledfiancee inhi guys, i'm new to the forum.
i'm looking for anyone in the dallas area that has left jw's for any reason and has since learned the real truth about the watchtower and jw doctrine.
i've never been involved with jw myself, but my fiancee grew up as a jw and is having thoughts of going back.

How can the WTS be short of money ?
by the max inso the society have a hedge fund, some(50%) shares in a usa company who specsialise in weapons delivery systems , has a shares portfolio that includes cigerettes.it buys up real estate in one of the worlds most lucerative locations ny,uses free labour to refurbish these properties along with its tax free status and then sells them on at a profit.it further extends it real estate portfolio by lending money at intrest ,for the building of more kh, again built with free labour and tax breaks, which are never owned by the cong,s who built them, but belong wts.
i am not an economist,though i would be hard pressed to come up with a better economic model than this, also it purports to be politically nuetral, so hopes to operate globally without restrictions, infact the (workers) have to pay the society ,by way of mag sales and donations, in order to give their free labour, no trade union protection or minimum wage.
g--gle, p--si,ya-oo, micro---t, would kill to have these advantages in the market place..

Has anyone left still believing it was the truth?
by FollowedMyHeart init seems that most xjws have left because at one point in their jw life something happened that made them start to think something wasn't right with the religion.
when i left, i still believed the jws had "the truth".
i was dying inside, trapped and unhappy (another poster's words, but describes exactly how i felt).
