I am very thankful to Umby for being strong and brave enough to come forward and testify, to Steven Unthank, all the other hardworkers, AND to all the judges and lawyers in Australia who have a heart and a true caring for justice. Thank all of you!

My First post
by Simple Minds ini have been lurking on this site for 3 years and this is my fist post.
i would like to thank everyone for helping me wake up.
i was baptized at 24, married at 25, ms for 18 years mentally in for 24 years but started to wake up 3 years ago doing research to give public talks, and the actions of arrogant and narcissistic brothers and sisters did not help.

Dear Simple Minds, it must be so hard for you... with your wife 'in' and daughter getting married....
Try focusing on building relationships with your family in areas "outside" the borg. Help them get to know you as a loving and caring person that will help them as they, hopefully, awaken.
Develop other interests with your wife, take her to dance lessons (haha, my fave) or biking? hiking? whatever she likes, try to do something like that... classes?
Wishing you well.... cha ching

Trey quotes a number of newspapers, the one from The Northern Echo lists an ex-witness from Hartlepoole, Steve Rose, as helping the Charities commission in it's nationwide investigation of "the church."
Here is a YouTube video he made in January of 2014

What Was The Silliest "Offense" That You Were Counseled For?
by minimus inwhen i was a teenager, i was told by an elder that because i smiled a lot and was known for my good sense of humor, that i should come across as "more serious".
so before i was appointed a ms, while in my late teens, i transformed myself into a much more "serious" brother.. were you ever told that you needed to work on something that you knew was stoopid?.

I was 18, just married, had a 2nd hand wool navy blue skirt suit that I had found at a thrift shop ... looked like it was from the 40's / 50's, shoulder pads on the jacket, covered buttons, straight skirt with a slit in the back... darling!!!! I was so proud of it....
"Cut your skirt or you can't pioneer" It was only 3 or 4 inches below my knee... I cried as I cut.... grrrrrrrrrrr..... I loved that outfit!

"Defending the Good News" by J. J. Henderson
by Uncharted inthis book was published in 2010:.
defending the good news: the jehovahs witnesses plan to expand the first amendment.
it is partially based on an interview with an ex-jw, jerry bergman, and, besides other things, contains information on h. c. covington and his supreme court cases.

Exactly, Nathan Natas! They "seek to establish their own theocracy" (on earth, with GB as the gods) and use whatever means necessary to do it.
However it began, WT now cold heartedly, systematically, spews and uses "freedom of speech" & "first amendment rights" to prevent any investigation or questioning of anything they do not want revealed.
And yes, as prologos said, "An Ideal that wt rigorously suppresses in the realm it governs", WT is very suppressive.

Exactly, Toesup!
Next WT will be "You will Listen Obey & Be Blessed" by 'The Borg'

Another heavy load :Literature Cart Witnessing
by RULES & REGULATIONS injehovah's witnesses standing on a street corner publicly promoting the propaganda of the governing body!another ridiculous form of "forced loyalty" to jehovah.
"dirty work" that the wtbts make witnesses go through.preaching work '' lite''.putting more heavy loads on members while the ''faithful and discreet slave'' preach from warm studios without the humiliation.
what an embarrassment!.

Letter to my wife
by Truthexplorer ini decided to write the following letter to my wife after years of frustration.
it was the only way i could express my feelings to her.
so far i have had a mixed reaction from her which i can later tell you about.

Dear Truthexplorer, I wish you well, it is such a hard thing to know "the truth" and pretend to be "in the truth." As others have noted, it all depends on your wife, if you have spoken before, or if she will take the time to read.
The points you have made are well written..... I have seen the propagandized lines of the WT take people's brains over right before my eyes... The human is no longer human. Reasoning is not allowed... Scripture is disregarded... The walls just go up to keep the intruder out.
So sorry that it is so hard, however, if she has any human feeling left in her, she will want to help you, and just like it took time for the WT to propagandize her, it will take time to de-propagandize.
My suggestion? Build your husband / wife relationship with her.... Take her on 'dates'.... create memories, fun... loving ones... Go on vacations / trips so that she has less time in service / meetings... you need to 'take her away' from the hamster wheel.
Good luck!
cha ching!

The story of my exit
by mrsObfuscate ini have been lurking here for about 6 months, and being the last day of the year, and ready to start the new one afresh, i want to share the story of our exit from the org.
i have found the personal experiences of others of immeasurable value, (and its been a while since a good exit story has been posted) that i hope this can be of benefit to at least someone.. .
my mother became a jehovahs witness when i was about 9 or 10. i remember initially hating all of the new sanctions put on our lives (no birthdays and christmas anymore) but for some reason i soon after joined her in attending the meetings and eventually got baptized at the age of 14. my staunch catholic father converted a couple of years later.

mrsObfuscate & lost and adrift... so glad to have you both here, and thank Simon for having this forum, so many have found info, friends, reality and solace! After WT, there is such a need to make sense of realitu, and there are soo many people here with different expeinces that can relate.... So glad to have you here!
I also am glad to hear that practicing JW's were able to see the hypocrisy (I have read other sites, where people make excuses) by viewing the ARC.... I have hope for relatives of mine now...
Thank you both for posting
Cha Ching!
PS.... thx mrsObfuscate for providing the link!
PS.... lost and adrift... enjoy your new life with your fiance! Never let them take that joy from you! Hugs.... I know it's hard to lose children, here's hoping they shall some day wake up!
