Giordano,
You have words of truth and much wisdom.🙂

what is the point of supporting a belief which began as a bronze age ox-headed idol called yahweh... in a religion designed for illiterate peasants now appropriated by a money-driven cult with a one hundred and forty six year unbroken record of total failure of its bible based predictions?.

Whatever works in this continuous pursuit of happiness, do it.
Life is short, so, whatever the situation, make the best of it. It's all good. Relax.😎
Be well,

No situation/organization/political party/etc. is 100% good or 100% bad. It all depends on who you are, your experience, and what you choose to accentuate.
Inherently evil?!!! ..... Now, that's crazy talk.

If I cared any less about the Bible, what it teaches, God, his purpose for us, the prophets, and any other 'religious' type crap I'd be dead.
The community, personal interactions, the hanging out thing, hubby, parents, extended family, friends, the click, the good times; that's what's important to me.
So I have to play the JW game to keep it all together, so it'll be. I'm quite good at it and, by the looks of it, many others trapped within have become quite experts at it themselves.

Personal integrity..... hmmm.....
The JW way of life is all I have ever known, it speaks to me and I understand it fully.
In my complicated situation, I have grown accustomed to viewing/treating the WTBTS as a buffet, taking what I like and avoiding the rest. There is much to be liked and I choose to accentuate that, the very nice social interactions for example.
Good thing my mind is so well compartmenalized that I can find happiness this way. It works for me and so many others trapped inside.

It is not in my best emotional/financial/social interest to flee from the group. All the JWs (INO) I hang out with are very lovely people.

homs was once syria's third largest city with a population of around one million-now its mostly deserted and this is what it looks like.
(a video taken by an enterprising russian photographer and posted on the uk independent's web page click to start).

I saw this report at TYT. It is absolutely awful! feeling so sad about their situation.

dear friends:.
i imagine by now we old timers have adjusted to the fact that we are getting older and, one day, will make our exit.
are your "senior moments" ever a cause for worry to you?
I forget people's names easily. My reading is not as good because my eyesight is failing.
Who came up with the term "golden years"? This phase of life sucks the big one!!!😢

FTS!!!💩

in the last few weeks it seems that instead of one or two new posters a week we seem to be getting several every day.
many seem to be long time jw's who are troubled by the path of the organisation.
this is really encouraging to those of us who have been here sometime.. welcome!
The "conscious class" is becoming a huge army these days. It is awesome!
The WTBTS is being cornered into change if they want to survive. In my Spanish cong people are just living their lives as they see fit, sending their young ones to college, etc.
GOOD!!!
