This sounds like the rantings of an old man. He must have seen the "Bunker" videos one too many times.

Where some of the money is going - from AM III
by Listener inthere is a public talk given by tight pants tony on youtube titled "the real armageddon, why, when"his talk, as usual, doesn't make much sense.
he says armageddon is not a nuclear holocaust or an asteroid hitting the earth it's god's war against all the political nations of the earth.
he talks about a celestial phenomenon that will be phenomenal.

Another Aspect from which to View Prostitution
by fulltimestudent inif we put on our western cultural (you know, the ones that say jesus made the world) eye-glasses we will 'see' prostitution as something bad.. the 'christian' influenced view is that prostitution is a criminal racket run by gangsters, and the women (and sometimes men) have either been bullied by their pimps, or drugged until they become addicts and forced to work in brothels.**.
some of that is likely true (at times), but is it always 'truth'?.
australia's government owned abc media network, has an article that invites us to take off our western cultural eye-glasses and see the world as it really is.

Prostitution is considered the first profession. I love the works of John Steinbeck. When you read his books, he embeds stories about prostitution with no judgment. I hope that women have options other than selling their bodies. But I am not here to judge.

I was really struggling with my faith. I engaged with someone on a discussion board on AOL. He made a comment that explained the lie of the Wt related to the Trinity. I did a little research and realized he was right. I don't remember the discussion, but I do remember the effect. I can distinctly remember sitting on a chair in the family room and realizing that my whole life was built on lies. I was overwhelmed. It was not just the discussion comment, but his comment was clearly the tipping point.

Live a successful life and see how many of your former friends are jealous of your success. I purposely keep my facebook pictures public in the hope that my former JW brothers and sisters can see that there is life after the Borg.

This sounds like a waste of time. I see the motivation to save family members - I get that. But why focus on random people in the endeavor. Perhaps some people are best served living in a cult.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess I was thinking logically, with a consideration for the best interest of the R&F. This is a mistake I won't make soon.

I notice that these videos are all an hour in length. If these videos are the trend I wonder why they make everyone schlep to an assembly. You could make a virtual assembly and watch these from the comfort of your home.

Did you become more antisocial after waking up?
by paradiseseeker ini've been shy my whole life, but during my teenage years and early 20s i managed to be more comfortable socializing and made many friends in different parts of my country (jws of course).
that was before i woke up, because i saw myself being a jw for the rest of my life and thus i made an effort to meet new jw friends.
however, after i woke up, i lost interest in meeting new people because knowing that when i leave they will be gone... feels like a total waste of time and energy.

The exact opposite occurred in my life. When I was a JW, I was highly embarrassed by my religion and funny beliefs that I inherited. So, I tended not to socialize with normal people. Now, I wear my exJW life as a badge. I love engaging with anyone about my past. I can tell stories that are funny, and others that are extremely sad.
Despite the 100 years of knocking on doors, the general population knows nothing about this religion. Our stories are enlightening and highly entertaining. Thus, I have become a very social creature. Stop on by, I will open a bottle of wine and we can tell some stories.
