i can now say that i'm not alone to know ttatt in my congregation, after all.. i have come to know that my close friend is awake, even without me sharing the ttatt with him/her.
on one of our recent conversations i mentioned about being tired and no longer being uplifted anymore, and my friend then told me he/she was feeling the same.
i don't know how it happened but we knew we could trust each other.

I have found three where I am and it makes a world of difference, especially with your own state of mind and seeing a brighter future over the jw dung hill.

p.s. Yes ohnightdevine I'm there with you......other side of the planet but nonetheless parallel. keep up the good work, it is worth it.
in my ten years as a witness i never read the whole bible end to end, what with four magazines a month, the book study, meetings and talk preparations, there just wasn’t the time.
i knew all the important references to ‘prove’ the various jw doctrines, and the cherry picked chapters that help foster the idea that it’s a good book, but that’s not reading it.
well after nearly forty years out, i decided i would do it.
My point exactly smiddy3.
It's all up for grabs, depending on the power the power mongers want to exert upon their respective congregants.
And what the supposedly 'holy spirit inspired' self appointed guardians of doctrine choose to use to control the gullible to facilitate their coersive ideals.

Right on the money Blondie. As I returned (my mistake but I'm working on it) I decided to read it contextually from cover to cover. That instance was my first light bulb moment and then I applied critical thinking to the rest of it and was astounded at the various possible translations of the lost language. Comparing various translations is invaluable to uncovering the deceit of the wbts and most likely others trying to push their wheelbarrow of reasoning. Likely then, the credibility of Christianity in general is up for questioning too.
And thank you for all the most informative posts that you provided over the years and for the time I have been here.

several months ago i wrote a letter to two of my sons, still jw.
the letter is 41 years belated.
i am now 78 years old so this was a bucket list item.

I also survived the early days bullshit and left then returned some 30 odd years later only to find, after four years that NOTHING has changed. The judgemental mental attitude is, in my opinion, more prevalent and sinister than ever. Hence my mission to fade with the friends I have made. They see it too and are disturbed, as they should be. My thanks to you for this post as it's helping in my mission. My heart goes out to your situation. Keep up the good work that you do daily.
Best Regards

not sure it's ok to post here about that.
im sorry if i'm wrong but i'm just trying to find my way and meet people that could help me become a good witness.
i recently discovered my faith as a witness.
Run, purelove 20. most of us have learn't the hard way. Do the research before you commit.
The apparent teachings of paradise and peacefull brotherhood are no different to the teachings of living in heaven. It just depends on how any given religion interprets the bible to suit their own agenda.
Take care

P.S. It's free to get in but you will pay tragically to get out. jwfacts.com is one of the best sources of the REAL truth.
