TTATT family blow out

by redvip2000 in

for those of you who have a minute to read this, here is a report from my family trip.. i was in florida for the holidays visiting my older sister and family, along with my parents which were also visiting.. although i've had conversations with my mother about the organization, my sister and her family had no idea of my position in regards to the (un)truth - perhaps because we live far away from each other.

i knew the day was coming.... on my second day there, the whole family was sitting around bs-ing about different stuff, and as usual my mother starts with the "world is getting worse by the day" conversation, followed by approving nods and smart remarks from the rest of the family.

i then politely told them that this was not true, that in fact the world has never been better.

Sounds like it went extremely well! You knew your facts, and it sounds like perhaps they might have respected that. Hopefully some will eventually investigate, and some of your family will join you! Happy New Year!

by mzmmom in

so strange that last night my experience was bothering me so much i posted about it here.

this morning my mother sent me a friend request after 20 months of no communication from her.

i replied in a message.. this is what i wrote:.

Nicely written. There appears to be no anger, no malice. Just stating the facts. All the best to you and your family.

I feel my faith is weakening

by Brother Mike in

when you were in the truth did you find websites like this and read what the other side has to say?

i am in that stage and i feel as if i'm seeking out the ttatt.

i feel the wt society is hiding way too much.

As others have said, keep researching the religion using resources independent of the WT materials. Only you can decide what is best for you, but should you decide to step away, please have an exit plan in place so you are not left without the financial means to support yourself, or without friends. There are many good people out there! Your young, you have your whole life ahead of you. All the best to you on your journey.

They came by MY house today!

by Pistoff in

color me gobsmacked.. i am home this morning, banging away at bookwork at the kitchen counter, when i hear the doorbell.. (when my doorbell rings, it is an event; i live one mile off the road.

no casual visitors here, no salesmen.).

i look out the side window, i see a minivan i don't recognize.. i peek at the front door, and there are 2 elders at the door, what the hell?.

Good for you!

Where the need is greater: TTATT in Spanish

by Londo111 in

it seems most of the us growth is in spanish-speaking territory, and of course, there is growth in the nations where spanish is the predominant language.

most sites oriented around ttatt, are english-speaking.

there seems then to be a great need for translators...for instance, imagine if there was a spanish version of www.jwfacts.com.. unfortunately, i dont speak this language.

ruderedhead

That is a very interesting point you make, Londo. But since I don't speak Spanish, I wouldn't know if there were TTATT sites.
