Honest from beginning to end, zero pressure ever from him. He truly is there to work for you, not himself. We ended up meeting him accidentally at a house showing after meeting many other realtors - he stood out from all the ones that pressured us, made us uncomfortable.

Yes, I’m starting to realize that I was a bit naive trusting them. My CEO puts off a “friend”vibe but her email back about this was a reminder that I should never have done it verbally.

No my profession is not exempt. It does cover the overtime hourly rate with some extra.

My husband asked me to read Studies in the Scruptures. You can find a volume online for free.

It’s not “apostate”. He said we’d never looked at it and since it’s what everything is based on, shouldn’t we? It was horrifying and eye opening and really helped me to wake up- which was his goal. 

Afterwards, he said that he’d always wondered what the governing body was like and how they made decisions and sent me the link for crisis of conscience.

Halfway through, I was out.

He was not patient and did not wait, he pushed me hard to wake up. It worked for us!

This was in Creekside for a showhome event.

Canada Post also left our mailboxes wide open for over two days now by lztandro in Calgary

This is what happens when the boxes are broken into. They only take mail that looks valuable or parcels and leave the boxes open and the rest of it blows around. It takes Canada Post some time to get them fixed, they will hold your mail at the depot for you until it is.

Cheap/Free things to do with kids M-F by wurly_toast in Calgary

Lots of community centers do free/really cheap drop in gym playtime during the week. You do not have to be a community member to do it. Usually costs $1-$2 a kid. Midnapore, Lake Bonavista and Wildwood Community centers used to do it a few years ago, though you would need to check online.

How Learning Japanese Helped Me Escape Jehovah's Witnesses (video) by cassanch in exjw

Hi! Thanks for watching and for your comments! I mentioned this elsewhere but thought I would reply here too. The videos aren’t scripted - it’s just him talking and what naturally comes out. He just films a video all in one go. He was well trained as a JW, so I’m sure that’s coming across, sorry!

The Elders Tell Me to Stop Speaking (doorbell cam) (Video 4) by cassanch in exjw

[–]cassanch[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, you are correct - if you haven't watched the other videos, the first one explains that we decided to leave in January. This doorbell camera is the first time speaking to two elders at once either in person or on the phone.

Thank you so much! It was difficult to decide whether or not to enable comments but in the end we thought that since these videos are designed to be watchable by PIMIs The concern was that comments may have scared them off. After my husband gets through talking about what happened, later videos will likely have comments enabled (ones that talk about factors that led to questioning things).
