TRUTH: There is no "new light"! Only old B.S. ---gathered up, and recycled as 'food at the proper time'. "The geat tribulation is so close" that I have grown old, raised a family, have grandkids and great-grandkids, retired, returned to the work force, and wasted a lot of time in expectation of the-forever-getting-closer-great-tribulation. The real Great Tribulation is waiting for the great tribulation.

Hi Jon....Just be honest with your wife.....tell her your doubts and concerns. Tell her why your quitting meetings and field service and all aspects of the cult that you have no intentions of supporting. Tell her you research independently because you need to see 2 sides and the edge of every coin. However be prepared. This is the approach I took, and lived thru hell for 2 1/2 years because my wife couldn't accept that I was done. My marriage is a sham right now.....we can't talk of anything meaningful, but the screaming has ended and she has accepted my expalnation that I am just another worldly guy. I do not force my thoughts on her, but if she starts to get self-righteous and preachy, I just remind her of the U.N. and that the Candace Conti case is still unsettled. She heard me shut down the elders re: the U.N. and I explained to her that the dubs were just Catholics as far as pedphilia was concerned. Be honest with her and fade.....don't burn your bridges.
All the best to you, Mauiboy

exJW Elder and Felon in Jail
by Haupi33 inexjw elder and felony fugative, michael johnson norris, plead guilt today, 2/27/2014, in santa barbara county superior court for sexual molestation of the daughter of brandon joel, under a plea deal norris was sentenced to in state prison, a far cry from the possible 25 years he could have received had the case gone to trial.
the family has full intentions of pursuing a civil litigation against norris and the watchtower society that harbors pedophiles..

Powerful and Damning Awake quote, and questions to help JWs think....
by BU2B injust thought of another question that could start someone waking up.
you could say something to the effect of, "i was thinking how if we were to come across a person in the ministry who asks us how luke 21:8 does not apply to jws in light of the comments such as the ones (quoted below) how could we respond?".
or you could say that someone at work or school presented you with the awake quote and said luke 21:8 proves jws false, then you could say you need help coming up with a response to him.. luke 21:8 .

It seems to me that both BU2B and Sir82 both have valid points. The fact is some things will motivate some people to start thinking, while other things may not stike a chord for that particular person. Limiting yourself to simply arguing from one side of the coin may overlook the trigger to wake someone up. As the old saying goes "different strokes, for different folks'. Don't disregard sharing any TTATT with any individual willing to hear.

Is it a dis enfranchising offense....?
by RunAsFastAsYouCan ini want to get my mother in law dis enfranchised:.
1. for teaching and encouraging my children to dis respect me (their father) in my own house over a 4 year period while living at my house.. 2. for refusing to allow me (in my own house) to practice my own religion with my duaghters while she stayed in my house for nearly 4 years.. 3. for attending my childs 5th birthday party, on her birthday, at chuckie cheese, and then disrespecing the family by refusing to sit at the table with us to eat, but facing away from us at the table next to us.. 4. for constant and relentless ambient abuse and gaslighting of self in my own house over a 4 year period.. 5. for refusing to return to the philipines (her family) after multiple demands to leave our residence over a 4 year period.. 6. for refusing to abstain from teaching her jw crap to my children in my house despite my repeated demands to stop.. i could go on but you get the point.. not that it matters but my primary motive is to get my kids one step further removed from this pos cult..

steve2---you are absolutely right. Thats how I saw it for over 30 years.....then I got the guts to break free....really: "Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty, free at last". (Great quote MLK)......I have since risen each day without the thought "I wonder if today will be the day I make my last"; what a blessed relief.
To all who are suffering depression and may have run the gamut of drugs and counseling only to find nothing works: take the big step of dumpng JW's with all their duplicitous lies and deceptions, un-Bublical demands, guilt that you never have done and never will do enough, and all the other mind boggling drivel that tears your mind from your heart. Becuase until your mind and heart agree and are happy, your depression will continue. And it will get worse until you are ready to end it all because death seems like such a blessed release compared to going on as a zombie Jehovah's Witness without an authentic thought or feeling in your mind or heart.
