So What Drastic Money Change is Next?
by OnTheWayOut inokay, they cheapened the product by getting rid of hardcover books.
they reduced printing of mags.
they drastically reduced the number of pieces of printed paper that members would "place" in people's hands in various ways, the biggest one being that they put them on a cart and don't encourage people to take them.they cut d.o.

A ridiculous thing I found in the old young people’s book
by Addison0998 init was in some book for young people that i found going through the watchtower library when i was doing research for old publications, i cannot believe this lunacy, i feel so bad for the teenagers at the time who had to try to take this seriously, but they’re not a high control religion or cult though, anyways here is is : .
if you sleep in a room alone and you find that you seem to feel special stress in this direction at night, you may be able to arrange matters to share a room with another member of your family.
also, you may find it helpful to sleep on your side rather than on your back or face down.. 18 another thing that may be helpful is to see to it that your clothing does not unnecessarily cause friction with the sexual organs.

They have been obsessed with genitals for long time.
Can't sleep? Genitals.
Stresed? Gentitals.
Clothing doesn't fit right? Genitals.
Feeling lonely? Genitals.
Can't pray? Genitals.
Unhappy? Gentitals...
As Yul Brenner would say et cetera et cetera et cetera

Freddo - Glad you brought out those points about that scumbag Saville. The authorities and other higher ups were well aware of his proclivities. Louis Theroux interviewd a policeman that said they waited til he was dead before acting.
Tommy Robinson is a whistleblower drawing attention to issues the powers that be don't want attention focused on so they focus on Tommy himself, which is in itself another distraction from the issues he draws attention to, namely the epic fails of multi culturalism. It's like Tommy is pointing at the moon and the media are focusing on the colour of his finger.

A & E documentary - family fall-out
by Tallon injust seen this on exjw reddit - sickening beyond belief!.
long story short, we have not seen hubbys non identical twin nephews (jeremey and jerome) since we gave the middle finger to the jw's 7 or 8 years ago.

The cong I was in the "loveliest sister" with the "loveliest elder" husband and "loveliest family" disowned two of their daughters overnight one for announcing her intention to marry a divorced worldly guy the other for not wanting to go to meetings anymore. They kicked the younger one out of the house and have missed out on two subsequent grandchildren's births since.
Hell hath no fury like a JW parent whose children dare to show independent thought.

Kingdom Hall "sale" - new light!
by The Fall Guy inin a town called stevenston on the west coast of scotland, the kingdom hall was closed down approximately 6 months ago and the congregation (named kilbirnie) was assigned to use the kingdom hall of the nearby irvine congregation.. according to an ldc source at mill hill, the kilbirnie kh is scheduled for a refurbishment!
the org boots out the congregation and leaves their kh redundant for 6 months?????????
good planning, ldc.

"...the seven signs of collapse" that's funny, I'm sure the WT bean counters have a cream for that.

WT have always been very careful to word anything to do with De Effing in a "spiritual" sense in the context of religious freedoms. Who can touch them?
We all know and have both witnessed and experienced what happens within families, congs and individual members. The "lovely nice" JWs will gleefully ruin the reputations of innocent people, turn parents against children and vice-versa, discriminate against them and generally make people's lives hell, but, technically, whether you really "got it" at the time or not, you are told about what happens to people that "turn their backs on" Gee Hova and the reasons for expulsion all JWs are aware and have gone along with it themselves at some point. So, I'm not sure what a western democratic court is supposed to do about it. Especially when WT releases official statements like "normal family relationships continue" blah blah.
It's a sticky wicket for people but I think the only answer is to stand up to these religious bullies by moonwalking away backwards giving the double finger to them as you go. Crime and abuse victims though are a different story they should by all means lawyer up and go for the jugular.

"Apostasy" is worse than...??
by stuckinarut2 init is funny to contemplate how ridiculous the act of shunning "apostates" who leave the org for conscientious reasons is.. so we have been rudely ignored and even abused by jws who :.
1) have been imprisoned recently for dishonest business practices and fraud worth millions of dollars.
2) have been bankrupt several times.

It's like they gleefully enjoy it when a "fellow brother" falls from grace. In my experience with fading the "slacker""double-lifer" JWs have been the worst or depending how you look at it the best shunners - go figure.
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" ? ...Yeah, I don't think so, this religion owns the template for creating the perfect hypocrite.

I just watched the final video from this years convention. OMG!!!
by NikL ini am shaking all over right now.
i think it's worse that the bunker video.. i used to think there was no way that these people would actually "drink the cool aid" if you get my drift, but seeing this video i am now not sure it could never happen.. having a wife who i love dearly trapped in this cult is really freaking me out right now...
