Thanks Jeff. I've gotten some, but it is the push I need to make another appointment. Had some crazy stuff lately, lots of grief... like so many of us here. And I'm a PIMO in good standing! sigh.

Boundaries
by AllTimeJeff inthis post hopefully will get you thinking about therapy, along with good mental and emotional health if you are dealing with the traumatic choices associated with leaving jw's, or if you are considering leaving.
because it is a trauma.. imagine a married couple in their late 30's.
because they took last weeks watchtower seriously, they have decided to talk to an elder in their congregation because they have practiced oral sex on each other, and feel a need to confess and get "spiritual help.".

I got back from the memorial . . .
by neat blue dog init was pretty mundane for the most part, same songs, same outline.
the only new thing they added was the video at the end, where stephen lett speaks to the visitors and commends them for coming and recommends they go to jwdotorg and also start a bible study.
they also showed a bar graph with figures increasing every year for jws, memorial attendance and memorial partakers.

Ditto as dropoff. I think they just replayed last year's video at your
memorialblack mass or B.M. Crazy I do not remember him saying the number going up proves the end is near, but I try to zone out. He probably said in the same drone and same way he would say number going down proves end is near, so you'd have to be listening and thinking... like most of us here.Oh, I'm starting to remember trying to not look at his face so I do not crack up.

Zeb's Memorial Experience
by HiddlesWife ini just saw zeb's ("i'm worldly") video entitled: "black mass mayhem" a few minutes ago.

He seems sadder this year, and I feel for him. Go Zeb go. I love his videos. Here's last year's Memorial (less than 2 minutes, and with "are you hugging me?"):

Bravo!
Thank you to all involved for your bravery and sacrifices of time and money.
It was the best investigative television report I have ever seen about JWs. So much effort behind one powerful hour.

Lloyd Evans' New Book - Is It Really Necessary?
by pale.emperor inso lloyd evans will shortly be releasing his new book how to leave the jehovah's witnesses.
i do enjoy his rebuttals and the stuff he manages to get hold of and leak.
but i'm struggling to understand what he could possibly write to merit a whole book.. all info on how to leave is right here on this forum.

How can he be making money off his activism? (apart from selling his books). Surely not enough to live on?
Patreon?

Massive hints against alcohol
by purrpurr inin the most recent assembly there were several heavy hints about not drinking alcohol at all.
saying that it doesn't give a good witness or would stumble others.. is this a new "unwritten directive?.

Is this a new "unwritten directive?
Massive hints against alcohol is the G part of the FOG. It also makes those who do not drink feel good, able to point fingers, guilt them along with WT, and hopefully wake them up. They know a lot of people drink too much to cope with the org.
WTF is this stumbling thang anyway? He's done something I don't like so therefore it's not the truth so I'm off? Seems pretty juvenile to me.
Then they can point to those that left and gossip, put them down, etc. "They must've been stumbled. He/she is so stupid."
BTW, the Shepherd the Flock of God's acronym is STFOG! Ha!
Just two cents.

Kevin's video above is absolutely brilliant. First exjw video that can make you laugh and cry. And it is less than 7 minutes long!
Way to go Kevin McFree. You have real talent, and I do not see you on a fund me type site anywhere. Real class act. Wish I could say that of people that I see very little talent in... Oh I got a bit snarky there! I'm not talking about JC, btw, but others who are asking for money while their yt videos are horrible!!!
Anyway, stay classy Kevin! San Francisco you stay classy too, as per Ron Burgundy.

Final Episode of David's Story regarding sexual abuse and Jehovah's Witnesses was released today....
by dubstepped ini've just released the final podcast from david's story which is a bonus episode formed from a discussion that we had in the pre-interview.
i think that it contained some valuable information and insights through our discussion of not just the response (or lack thereof) to sexual abuse within the cult of jehovah's witnesses, but also about other related matters.. i hope that david's openness about his life has made an impact on others, and invite any that listen to leave him a word of encouragement at http://shunnedpodcast.com/episodes/ under either episode 6, 7, or 8, all relating to his story.
i was fortunate enough to be able to take part in the telling of his story and it has impacted me for sure.. you can find the "shunned" podcast on itunes (apple podcasts), google play, wherever you choose to get podcasts, or streaming right from my site on the page linked above.
