  What Happened to the Religion I Left in 1995?

  josh here, new to the board.

  glad to know this site is here.. i would not be writing this if it were not 2014. i was a ministerial servant and regular pioneer who left the jehovahs witnesses back in 1995/96, around that time.

  i left suddenly, didnt fade away, just left when something clicked one day in my head during the morning shower and made me realize this religion wasnt true.

  Hello Josh, Welcome to the board and 2014! You are right, nothing is the same....totally different. You were wise to get out when you did. You saved yourself a lot of heartaches. Thanks for the laugh...we laugh with you....Hugs, 4thgen

  have you ever heard that statement?

  i have heard it many times and i just don't know what to do with it.

  they are chosing a to live a lie because they like the lifestyle.

  Ok guys, this is all sounding pretty scary, downright 1984 movie -ish

  So please explain for us NON computer geeks what this means...Is the crux of the matter, do not cut and paste from JW.org because they can find out who we are and potentially sue us? Or something else?

  I've gone from the angle: We got baptised because we believed it was the 'truth' from the Bible and all others taught falsehood.

  and have gotten no where. Thoughts?

  i have been lurking and reading for a couple weeks now.

  i love the topics and it has inspired me to say hello to all my fellow apostates.

  i was awakened to how my family feels about me and my wife shortly after the international assembly.

  Hello Speed, It's nice to meet you. Its so sad (and typical) for parents to disregard their childs thoughts and action, even though the 'child' is an adult with decades of service to the Watchtower. You are not alone. Hang in. You will meet some wonderful people on this board. Welcome! Hugs, 4thgen

  Entertainment for International Delegates

  bibl3thumper has posted a youtube of the celebrations that took place for german delegates.

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvs6_q7rqps&feature=em-subs_digest.

  it's hard to believe that they are now using the kingdom hall to sing pop songs and for dancing.

  As with many of you, I am in shock with this video. I guess this is the new JW.org, because this certainly wasn't the organization I was baptised into. Unbelieveable. I can't even believe it!

  BTW I lake Cellars video better! :)

  Is new light coming again?

  by justme67 in

  i just turned in my resignation letter to my congregation a few weeks ago.

  last week, 2 elders called me to say they received my letter and would like to meet with me to discuss my concerns.

  in my letter, i said i had found out about all the child abuse cases that were going on and that i didnt agree with their policy of disfellowshipping.

  Hi Justme,

  So glad you didn't fall for it. They've been using that trick for a while now. Welcome to freedom! Hugs, 4thgen
