    So I left around 4 years ago, my family have pretty much left me alone after the first year of harassment, but in the last 6 months I've been hearing about 'the end' a lot again. So I'm basically wondering if anything has happened? If anything specific has gone on in the last 6 months (or few years since I've left) to make my family get all zealous about me going back to the 'truth' again? Basically want to know what's been going down with the JW's since I've left.

    Thanks.

    P.S. Since leaving 'The truth' I've become involved in show business, an enjoyer of alcohol beverage, a person who endugles in sex, and a person who is interested in philosophy. The JW's lied. There is an enjoyable world out there.

    I think they are even more defensive than ever. The setbacks in growth, the increasing pedo lawsuits (it is a snowball effect once it gets going $$$), the doctrinal juggling to avoid lawsuits, blood, 1914, the internet, and the obsession with the resulting apostate "threat" are all continuing to peak.

    They had a good run, but it's time to pay the piper. The only glue left is the threat of DF'ing and breaking up family units. It has come down to extortion and exploitation of the grim hangers on.

    Individual witnesses still point to anything and everything to prove to themselves that the end is near!

    One brother in a car group said, "well we've had a black president AND he got re-elected. Now man REALLY HAS tried every single kind of government!" As if Democracy was one thing, but Democracy-with-a-Black-Guy-In-Charge is a completely seperate kind of rulership that God must have been waiting for. Certainly, we don't want Satan to be able to say, "wait, you didn't let a black guy be president, you haven't allowed me to fully rule the world and see if I can do it better!"

    I think they still have to read all the magazines and go to all the meetings and out in service and not be friends with anyone who isn't one of them...

    And make sure not to have any fun or make to much money...

    and always be thanking Jehvova for the Faitful and Discreat Slob... for guiding them to salvation through the glorious publications..

    so you haven't missed Much..

    Jehovahs witnesses are on a merry-go-round and they just cant get their finger in the big " A" ring.

    SSDD for the WBT$.

    They do however, seem to be getting even more controlling and hateful.

    The washtowel and asleep! are now only a flimsy 16 pages each.

    The articles are getting dumbed down.

    They are being rinsed financially due to the paedophile scandals.

    People are waking up.

    I saw some Jw;s they do seem more robotic today and more controlling.

    Then we still need a woman, a black woman, a Chinese person, a Jew, a Muslim, etc. Jehovah must have slipped because he had a chance to put a Mormon in there.
