  ) and the next speaker walks out on stage.

  I do recall a single sister who said she was being molested

  by demons at night in her bed.LOL

  Poor sister all she needed was some relief.

  I was an elder for many years and I had many sisters who would approach me requesting help from demon rapes. Many of these JW sisters would describe in detail what the demon would do to them. From undressing them and licking every inch of their body to the final act that would last for hours of pure ecstasy.

  Now that I learn TTATT and know all that stuff about the Devil and demonss is Bullsh** I wonder; Did all those JW ladies have serious mental problems or did they have something else up their sleeve?

  I really enjoyed your experience on waking up. At one point I did the same thing. I prayed and prayed to God to give me an answer if the JWs had the truth. Of course I got no answer. I guess I was expecting a voice or something like that. So I kept researching and learning about 607 BC. The more I learned the more I realized I had been tricked, not for a few years but for a lifetime. That’s hard to swallow.

  Recently I had a Jw friend who was in a minor accident, not anything serious but by the time he reached the hospital he needed blood badly. Long story short, the elders convinced the wife no blood and he died. My friend could have easily lived another 20 years and enjoy his wife, kids, and just life in general. Now the wife was convinced to pioneer as if that will help. And I see other JWS wasting their life going door to door, attending tons of meetings and conventions.

  I sometimes wonder if my prayer was answered. It’s one of those things that I can go either way. Yes he did-no he didn’t. One thing for sure, that organization is a dangerous place to be in. You can lose your life literally or lose your life, (time wise by wasting it)

  Either way, I’m still glad I found out even at 60.

  You are going to need time to regroup. Lots of time. Don't get any JWs involved at this point. When I learned TTATT it was like this:

  Ugh, at 25 with 2 children I still looked very young. I had more than one CO ( 45+) have someone introduce me to them. One CO followed me everytime I got up before he had someone introduce us. He was looking for a young virgin. (pervert)

  What if the CO had just waken up to TTATT, secretly played the powerball lottery and won 650 million dollars, 300 million after taxes. And was just attracted to you and wanted to disappear from the organization and travel the world and live the life of the Rich and Famous? Would that change your view?

  Reports of lower memorial attendance

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have heard a lot of reports from kingdom halls in the area that there was less than last year, for both time slots.. we had the first time slot and we were down 50+/- compared to last year.

  last year we had the lobby full of people standing and this year we had empty seats and no one standing.

  we ran out of parking last year and this year we made it.. like i said i am hearing quite a few reports of this from halls in our area.however, somehow the number seem to inch up every year.

  Somehow assemblies, conventions, baptisms seem worse every year and yet the number inch up.

  Reminds of the movie Jakob the Liar (1999)

  Synopsis:

  During World War II in Nazi occupied Poland, poor Jewish café owner Jakob ('Robin Williams') takes action to fight the incredible depression and suicide throughout the ghetto, Jakob tells fictitious news bulletins about Allied advances against the Nazis. These lies keep hope and humor alive among the ghetto inhabitants.

  I would praise and thank him for all the wonderful things he has done for me.

  Like what?

  I used to praise him and thank him for this since I was 15 years old.

  (John 11:26) and everyone that is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all. Do you believe this?”

  I’m headed towards my 70s and still getting old. Many of my friends who use to thank him and praise him publicly and regularly all their life are all dead.

  One of my school buddies who never became a JW and has never believed in God or Jesus, has smoked, drugs, womanized and has been a heavy drinker, inherited several millions from his aunt and is healthier than me. Who should he thank?
