I finally did it
by paradiseseeker init's done.. during the last month i've been talking with my closest friends about leaving the org and yesterday i finally talked with my parents.. it's been almost 5 months after i said that i would do it, but i think that this extra time has been beneficial.
i've said several times that i would opt for sending a resignation letter, but after talking to my best friends some of them suggested me becoming inactive and blocking my congregation's elders.
i've changed my mind and i will do that because the people that i care the most now know what's going on so they won't be worrying about me not attending the meetings.

Bring to ruin those ruining the earth, but what if we change.
by pleaseresearch inthis has come up recently with two family members who are jws.
if they are talking about this you can bet that others are too.
they seem to be all excited that a lot of attention in the news right now is about climate change, greta, extinction rebellion etc... as you can image they are very smug saying see.

Anybody seen this Doco. about Yahweh Ben Yahweh on TV.?
by smiddy3 inthe wife and i watched it last night on tv.. "uncovered: the cult of yahweh ben yahweh on oxygen tv.channel .i`m in vict.aust.. he must have been a charismatic person to gain so many followers in his early days when he created the "nation of yahweh" starting off in the miami area in the early 1980`s ?
and it spread throughout a number of "states" including ny state i believe.. he set up many places of worship and apparently gained a lot of wealth with his many activities & not all christ like .. he was not adverse to using thug like standover tactics when it suited him.. why i`m bringing this up here is i don`t think the wt/jw `s ever commented on his activities seeing he was using god`s name with the proper pronunciation.and he was gaining converts in their own territory so to speak.. they were always attacking the catholic religion at any given opportunity ,however as far as i can tell they never commented on his rise to fame and his ultimate fall from grace.. overall it was an interesting program .

Emergency 'grab bag' campaign accused of scaremongering
by pleaseresearch ina police campaign to get the public to prepare a "grab-and-go" bag in case of emergencies has been both criticised and mocked by social media users.. a police scotland tweet urged people to pack essentials such as a first aid kit, radio, torch, and food and water.. its recommendations were part of an annual preparedness month, which is being promoted by local authorities and emergency services across the uk.. however, the police force has been accused of scaremongering.. the tweet read: "september is preparedness month.
emergencies can happen at any time and it's recommended to have a #grabbag ready containing essential items including medication, copies of important documents, food/water, torch, radio and other personal items.".

Were You A Gullible JW?
by minimus ini think every congregation has their group that sees everything as a sign that they are god’s chosen people.
if a witness didn’t go to a meeting and a storm came and destroyed their house and killed them, and only the kingdom hall was saved, that was a sign that we should be in jehovah’s house.
if russia persecuted jws , it’s proof we are living in the last days.
