To my sister,
by flower inif you were able to get this url during the short time you were snooping on my computer last night then you have probably by now read a lot of my most personal feelings about my life growing up as a jw.. much of it is very shocking to you and will be even more so to mom if you tell her (which i wish you wouldnt!).
i'm hoping that after you calm down you will let this alone and do nothing with the knowledge about me that you have.
i know that you have no interest in hearing the truth about what goes on in the organization so i wont even tell you to look it up yourself.. i dont go around trying to convert jw's and i havent tried to tell you any of this stuff so i think the best thing for jaden at the moment would be if you just left me alone.

How Many JWs Fully Buy Into the WT Party Line?
by Room 215 infor those of us with years of acquaintance with the wt and its teachings, it's clear that full acceptance of the 1914 date as the establishment of god's kingdom in the heavens is a non-negotiable condition of remaining in good standing in the organization.
many of us know people who've been booted out just for expressing misgivings, lety alone outright denying this teaching.
almost as central, and as non-negotiable, is the teaching that only baptised jws can expect to survive the big a.. .

Part 1: Breaking Ground with Crisis of Conscience
by Amazing inpart 1: breaking ground with crisis of conscience .
while attending the district convention at the cow palace in san francisco, the jw man who had brought me into the religion, told me that ray franz had resigned from the governing body, and several were disfellowshipped from bethel in a major cleaning out of apostates.
i was shocked, and asked why ray franz would resign.

Don't work overtime
by DB inat this past week's service meeting, our congregation reviewed the part "keep seeking the kingdom first" in the january km.. the elder handling the part decided to include the admonition not to work overtime and risk missing a meeting, even if you need the money.
one drone in the audience even stated that working ot when we need it could lead us into becoming more and more materialistic.
well, when it comes time to take friday off to attend the district convention, i wonder if these same jws who refuse to work ot will get a favorable response from their employer when they request that friday off.

Hypocrisy Within My Own Family
by Reborn2002 inyesterday my brother (ever-loyal witness baptized same day as me 10 years ago; who is married to a holier-than-thou regular pioneer and subsequently with her encouragement has since avoided me as much as possible since i da myself) and his wife (see description above) came over to visit.. well.. shooting the proverbial shit, we got to the topic of movies.
asking politely if he or his wife had seen lord of the rings.. she interjected that it was inappropriate because it suggested wizardry and spiritism, and would never see such filth.
trying very hard to remain polite, my mom noticed the pause and said if they wanted to borrow any movies we have on tape to watch at home.. sneaky as i am, while they flapped their gums with my parents i glanced in the bag to see what they borrowed.. they took:.
