A guy goes back to the doctors office to hear the results of his tests.
He knows something is wrong when the doctor enters, staring at his test results and looking shocked.
''Give it to me straight doc, how long have I got ?'' the man pleads.
The doctor replies slowly ''You've got six ..''
''Six ?'' the guy screams '' six what, six weeks, six months ?''
Doctor looks at his watch and says '' five..,four.., three...''
most of us old timers left behind a stable, respected, religious heritage in our disillusioned haste to join a stupid cult.. as i recall, there was no rite of dissociation required - no reason offered to your church, no resignation required - it was a non-event from the dubs viewpoint.
what was your experience?
were you expected to do or say anything as you abandoned your spiritual heritage to become a drone in the watchtower hive?.

Catholic Schools provide excellent education - couldn't have JW kids exposed to that could we?
Half of my grandkids prefered our local Catholic high school over the public one as it is a wonderful school and they did very well too - smart, socially active, well adjusted kids who went straight on to university and well paying jobs. The JW grandkids are a socially retarded pioneer and a very angry rehab patient respectively - keep up the good work Watchtower.

You observed the same as I, that such actions are merely childish vendetta. It is actually important that Watchtower officially requires nothing from those abandoning a religion when joining theirs. It logically follows that persons abandoning the Watchtower cult, likewise, owe them no explanations, reasons or justifications of their freewill actions.
Don't involve these self-righteous assholes in your decision to leave - just make your demands known in harmony with your available human rights and enjoy your freedom.
guy jumps out his car like the wild wild west and fire at deputies.. deputies return fire and suspect shot.
stand off at this time..

You made me laugh man. Where do you find those insane pictures??
I have a personal attachment to two of the accessories that guy has mounted on his gun!
Had to save that picture - thanks again for a good laugh (as always).
i'm preparing for my exit after 4 years of de-programming myself from the cult (much help from here..thank you) been fading for as long as i can to keep decades of family and friends, but the moment the "real truth" is arriving soon.. i desire to make an intelligent defense for my actions and of course will never get to first base using any resource material that will shut down the process by my blind brothers and family members.. i have collected some resources on my own, but would appreciate help in the following.. 1) child abuse.
2) ngo un docs.
3) follow the money any public records of what the borg spends or invest our money on.

Wow Gone and Forgotten you studied with real old school Nazis ! I'm surprised you made it out alive!
Giordano - Thanks for that link - it led me to a really good one from the Mormons trying to escape
this is from a blog, "news from me" that i read fairly regularly.
mark evanier is, among other things, a comic book writer (co-writer for "groo-the wanderer), a television writer, a great raconteur, and was a close person friend of jack kirby, one of the world's greatest comic book artists.he got an email from a jw trying to explain why they come to his door.evanier's answer is well thought out, and should explain to even the densest j-dub why people really don't like being bothered.
maybe his correspondent will take it to heart, but probably not.

Interesting that some of you remember being told, or at least encouraged to take this action.
Was any reference from cult publications ever shown as to why this might be necessary? or just JW puffery?

Do not do this!
They already know that they are a fraud in every regard you could mention. They have been fully aware of this for the last 130 years. They bring in about one billion dollars annually by perpetrating the same frauds on the same captive group of ignorant Jdubbies.
The Mormons learned to do it right in 1989, following the example of Norman Hancock, whose 18 million dollar lawsuit actually changed Mormon church policy the same year. ( isn't that really our goal too?)

You have actual legal rights in regard to religious freedoms - learn them! use them!!
i am working on a writing project.
just give me your opinion on this subject.
if you worked for your respective government and you were tasked with doomsday preparations, what would you decide to save for future generations?
Current knowledge of alternate energy sources as a starting point for future energy supplies.
There will never be again the ''limitless supply'' of fossil fuels we have already squandered away in our last century.

I ask this as I have an interest in the process and legal aspects of leaving a religion - I'll post some more later.
