  you know the organization is slowly going down.

  not as fast as we would wish, but nevertheless it is crumbling.

  five (5) year old child baptisms, smaller magazines, child sexual abuse exposed, smaller annual growth, no one wants to reach out, young ones leaving.

  The only hope for it's suvival is change.

  If it is still around under the same name, it will be a social club with a suggestion book based loosely on the some scriptures.

  Maybe he didn't push on certain questions because he already knew the answers.

  They had all the relevant info in writing.

  rachael de vienne is one of the authors of separate identity, a history of the watch tower's earliest years.

  she's received low grade harassment from the watchtower for years.

  she posted about it on her personal blog.

  i have heard that phrase several times on the jw broadcast, uttered by gb members!

  Local Congregation Takes Away My Dad's Phone Hook-Up (HE'S 85 YRS. OLD)

  by NoMoreHustle in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this happened about 6 months ago, didn't really have an opportunity to post about it (been busy), but they still haven't given back his password for the phone hook-up.

  they say that this is direction from the "branch office".

  i think it's complete bs, the real reason why they are doing this is to punish me & my family because i am basically a ghost when it comes to meetings & any type of activity.

  i popped into the supermarket for a few things after work today and found myself walking up an aisle alongside a couple who used to be in my tuesday group.

  i see them reasonably often and always say hello much to their obvious annoyance.

  i noticed that ian was sporting a shaggy beard.

  Depends on what your history is with the person and how well you knew each other, I think.

  If it's someone you had nothing to do with anyways, just walk on by, but seeing someone you considered to be a friend can be hard not to at least say something, especially if it's obvious they themselves are out.

  This cult is ridiculous, normal people don't behave this way.
