I try not to dwell, too much, in who I could have become, with my looks, brains and personality, if I had not been a born-in Jdub and believed and stayed.
I can see and understand both sides of your story.

i was coming out of sams club and i bumped into an elderly lady, probably late 70s early 80s.
(i wasnt about to ask a lady what her age is.
) one of the workers was pushing a cart full of rib-eye steaks.

do you want this sound coming from your kid's bedrooms on sunday morning?
if not act now, play it tonite during dinner.. mongolia is getting to be a cool place, just watch out for their tendency to revere chinggis khan.. mongolian throat singer zorigoo (altain orgil).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el93mixaf-c. and follow up with:.
The 3rd Tuvan throat singing has my vote. Different and interesting. Earlier today I was listening to the always beautiful Claude Debussy's "The Girl With the Flaxen Hair".
It is a pleasure to hear and watch something so unique.
Thank you for sharing.

hi friends!.
i normally post over on /r/exjw but i've been reading more and more over here on this forum and found it incredibly supportive and informative.
i hope to participate in this community and become an active member.
Hahaha. Thank you for that bit of JDub Elder's displaying their brand of theocratic warfare. Someone tells you about horrific sexual abuse and you just can't remember? Disgusting creeps and they call themselves loving shepherds who innocent, kind hearted people are suppose to rely on and should go to as in finding shelter in a storm?
Forget them!
Who is going to step up and disfellowship these lying pieces of garbage?
They should be kicked out of human society for they are not fit human beings. Over 1000 abusers and no one calls the Police because the WT publishing house and worldwide real estate development company doesn't want any bad publicity!
Shame on them.

i emailed mr. stewart about jackson's testimony, asking if the video link would be visible to the public.. this was his prompt reply:.
thank you dianne for your interest.
the it people tell me that mr jackson will be on the screen for all to see and hear.regardsangus stewart.
OrphanCrow, Fantastic news! I was just sitting down to compose a note to the ARC but read the latest posts instead. Wow!
Geoffrey should get a taste of his own medicine otherwise it is not fair.
I agree if we 'only' hear his voice, later on YouTube, Jdubs will say it is all faked and lies.

i always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.
i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.
so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".
Brilliant Terry! Well done!
LL
let's pretend jackson actually takes the stand to be potentially interrogated all week.
when would be the soonest we could see this?.
i'm hoping with all my might that he does and ttatt goes global....
So that means, here on the American West Coast, we tune in at 6PM Thursday, to watch the Australian Royal Commission on their Friday, grill Jackson at 11AM. (17 hours apart).
Ohhhh. What fun!
Will you guys in the UK be up or in snore land? lol
I can hardly wait!

i was raised a witness, baptized at 16, vacation pioneered, got married, etc.
i was very much your typical witness and believed it was the truth until last summer.
a very close relative of mine left the witnesses.
Hello atacrossroads and welcome to you.
We had a star member, jgnat, who had been on for 13 years, with almost 25,000 posts. She was very level headed, kind, thoughtful, loving and had a brilliant mind. I am sure she would have posted something positive and up building for you.
i think you are a very brave and honest individual and I am sorry that your awakening to WT lies, has caused sorrow to you and your husband. Just know that you are not alone and keep posting for there are people here who have been in your shoes. It is summer time, so some might be on vacation. There is a search engine in the upper right hand corner. Maybe do some searching for past threads and comments that pertain to your situation.
Kind regards to you.

I am a happy person. Can I get happier? Yes! lol
This video is supposed to be released Sept 2015. lol
What is today's date? August 7, 2015! LOL
I love the fact that it can be viewed, right now, in August on YouTube.
The contents? Garbage for innocent, gullible people, unfortunately.

today i feel deep sad memories in my brain.. visiting bookstudy with my parents, doing my best giving answers at 7 years old.. doing fieldservice every weekend and on an evening.. i could write so much story's about it.. we believed from our hart and listened to what the organisation told us.. it makes me sad, what a scam it became.. today i can't stand it.. i can cry about it.
.
gorby.
Gorby, (Hugs) to you dear friend.
My vote is to cry and recognize what you have been through.
It is hard to look back. There were some good times. There were bad times. For me, it helped posting here. For 2 years I ranted and (yes) cussed and vomited out all sorts of situations I was privy to. I am a nice person that wants happiness and kind hearted people in my life. I am an adult. I am in charge now. Not WT. Not 7 uneducated men pulling ideas out of who knows where. I grieved loss of life time friends, until I realized they were JW drones, and I do not choose to associate with any drones.
Yes, I hear you Gorby. Are you missing your parents or missing the sweet little boy you used to be that was lied to, big time?
It hurts to be swindled and WT did swindle all of us.
Recently, I have been thinking of how very happy I am and how pleasant life out of WT is. And then I had a new thought. My life now, is how normal people live their life. Pleasantly. Doing what they want to do.
Gorby, I hope you can make time to post more and let us know how your life was. We are here to support you.
All the very best to you Gorby and your family!

a few years ago, prior to researching the field of "bloodless medicine", i was under the mistaken impression that bloodless surgery was a field of medicine that sat "outside" of the watchtower influence and operated as a part of mainstream medicine.
since that time, i have discovered that "bloodless medicine" has been founded and maintained by the watchtower society itself.
bloodless medicine is the watchtower society - it has been organized by people who have been trained by the wts and therefore, the bloodless industry is controlled by the wts.
@OrphanCrow and rebel8:
What you write is so important.
What you both have gone through is horrible.
Thank you both for staying on this Forum and helping us wade through the paper work, behind the scenes.
All the best to you both!
