as the title says, share what you love about the truth!.

we know that the gb or anything else in the truth is all true and nothing is false!.

love u guys xxx.

Get ready for phone calls from Elders either this week or when the next CO visit happens.

by EndofMysteries in

i got a call the other day, it looks like the gb is telling everyone to contact all inactive ones, let them know they are missed, etc, and to do it within a week.

.

For me, it seems to be the same pattern every year. For the last 3 years they always call on me when the CO is in town around December. No other time in the year. If I recall, they only are instructed to call “once” a year even though the CO visits more often than that.

This same elder that calls on us sees me and my wife at least once or twice a year out in public. My wife works at a coffee shop that he visits sometimes but never bothers her. Just says hi and asks how things are. Same with me if I run into him out in public. We never give more than one or 2 word answers. No probing.

It could be worse.

and the last time they came, we had xmas lights up outside on the house. I'm surprised there hasn't been any follow up bec of that.

The Last BOE!

by Atlantis in

this is the last boe we will be able to provide.

our informant or source, was caught, disfellowshipped, and thrown out of bethel.

we knew that sooner or later the watchtower would find him out.

There isn’t legal action the cult can take against him is there? I hope not....

Hope he joins and tells his story. Thanks to him for his sacrifices.

Thank you for your hard work too Atlantis.

i keep hoping and doing searches on the site for people in my area.

so far no one i recognize.

i have a few df'd friends that i lost touch with long before they were out (two who were elders actually when they got the boot) and would love to find out they were on here, but don't know if they plan on coming back.

Problem - Did you live there from 2003-2005? Or just know people from there?

My wife's uncle posted here a lot in the mid 2000's. We've gotten a lot closer since Mrs. Dazed and I left the cult. I grew up in the same hall as him and met his niece- my wife- a few years later. I would go out in service with him a lot.

I grew up in the Tri-Cities Washington, lived in Lacey/ Olympia WA and now in Colorado, north of Denver and East of Boulder. I have posted my pic several times on this site, but no one has recognized me yet. Still waiting.

A year after I left, my wife “blindsided” me with this same thing. She told me that she never believed it was the “truth” and how arrogant it is to think you have the only and absolute true religion. She was just going along with it because of her mom and me. She originally got baptized at 17 so she could date me.

Enjoy this. There’s hardly a better feeling than knowing you got out with your immediate family. I was able to spare my 2 kids from bearing this burden. My son barely remembers the meetings and stopped asking to go a while ago.

Congratulations.

Also, try to get your wife to understand that she doesn’t have to play by the WT’s rules. It’s not living a lie to just walk away. However, I can appreciate having some closure. My wife and I never Da’d of were Df’d. We wanted to make sure we could still have communication with our family who remain brainwashed.

I'm happy for you and your wife.
