i don't want anyone to take this the wrong way but i use to at least feel smart as a jw.
when i went to thursday night meetings, i at least felt like i was a student, that i was learning how to speak publicly, i could prepare my own comments, i could answer points that i learned from the weekly bible reading.
i even feel like an "idiot" studying for the meetings.
When they went into more detail with their literature and meeting talks it wasn't because the information was more intellient it was just bolder and more unapologetic in its lies. The dumbing down of the information you are observing just means they know they can't get away with as much anymore so they keep it vague and superficial.
They want you to feel dumb, but you are not dumb the information is dumb.
thanks to the searcher and diogenesister i've come up with this topic.

mornin' all.
saw the jdubs going from door to door just now.
uk time 10:15 am.
The problem is he was speaking JW the language of pure nonsense and you were speaking english.
well it finally happened!
we have been waiting about a year for this, my dfd husbands family asked us for money.
even though his own father hasn't met our 8 month old son.
If you hand over your hard earned cash to these entitled narcissists they will give Jehovah the credit for it and go back to shunning you and if you don't they will say you've become very "worldly" and go on shunning you.
though not officially spring, the past two days in the mid-atlantic have been gorgeous!
it's been over 70°f and sunny.
i've opened all the windows in the house and have sunshine and fresh air pouring in.. i walked outside today and noticed that my tulips are pushing through the ground.
Sounds very springy GT.
Speaking of hemispheres I hear the UK was treated to the Aurora borealis light show a few nights ago.
You lucky poms.
this has been tough.
very tough actually.
because i'm so integrated into things including certain tasks which i can't say as it would be a dead giveaway i find myself constantly bombarded by things.. i'm literally a lying every day.
I think many of us overestimate just how much of an effect our disappearing off into the sunset will have on the congregation and also how we will be missed. Sure there will be an initial flurry of gossip and questions as to your spiritual fitness, but if you just keep acting like "I'm ok, what about you how are you doing" whenever you see someone they soon stop asking, lose interest and look elsewhere for more juicy gossip.
They actualy give up on people very quickly these days, so hang in there and think of it this way.
Your association with the congregation is a like rock being thrown into a pond - it may make a splash, even create a small ripple, but then it disappears without a trace of ever being there at all.
jworg is carrying a "news" article concerning their recent win of a telly award.. i don't need to add to the jworg website hits, so here is the award listed on the telly award website:.
https://www.tellyawards.com/winners/list/?l=jehovah%27s&event=16&category=3&award=b.
2015 online video bronze winners.
The GB could win a Belly Award aswell.
The writing department a Smelly Award.
Hmmm this could be the start of a whole swathe of crappy awards for WT.
if you were hooked up to a polygraph machine when you were still an asleep, kool-aid drinking dub and asked if you agree 100% with every single wt teaching (asked as individual questions and collectively), would you have "passed" with no signs of deception?.
i know, i definitely would not have "passed" such an interegation.
i would have tripped up on questions about blood, dfing and non jws being marked for destruction just to name a few.
crowd looking like they're doing the heil hitler salute to trump when he asks for a pledge and swear their support while calling for broadening torture laws.
trump asks backers to swear their support, vows to broaden torture laws.

How would you know how people really think if people like Trump didn't exist.
A very revealing election this one. There are people that have an opinion that have never had one before.
if you are a new person to the board you might want to send scully a pm thanking her for her hard work and dedication.
the boe project owes her for helping it to get started.. example:.
several years ago there was a website called (dirtclod.com) who had the courage to display the boes right out in front of everybody.
