Witnesses have been indoctrinated to believe that if they have questions, the fault lays with them....NEVER with the society....

According to witness culture, Asking questions about doctrine implies a lack of faith, or a lack of spirituality.

How do you talk to a child that believes Jehovah/Armageddon is real
by Anony Mous ini'm having some serious issues with my child, she is now 5 and her mother is teaching her all sorts of things regards god, jehovah is real, in heaven, pray if you're scared, etc.
the problem is the kid is scared of demons at night and also conflicted that i don't believe, she also figured out jehovah doesn't actually help her not to be scared.. i've tried explaining that i'm there for her, watching over at night.
i've tried introducing her to various churches and beliefs so she understands there is a difference in believes and she likes those churches better than kingdom hall.

Don't try and use too much logic.
5 year olds only need to be reassured of your love for them, and the rest will be taken care of as they grow.

Good points Stephane. I take your point.
True, many people DO work too much, and they end up missing out on LIFE itself.

When we think about it, there are MORE Ex-Witnesses worldwide that current witnesses!
The society used to tell us 45,000 a year get DF. Then there are the thousands per year that fade, or stop attending.
So adding that up, it would seem there are more ex-witnesses.
Correct me if I am wrong.

by Funchback inhttps://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/wp20120201/adolescent-questions-faith/.
this article doesn't touch on the topic of what a parent shoud do if their teenager has made an educated decision to stop attending meetings.
but, hey...what else do you expect from the watchtower coporation?.

Oh wow!
Amazing.
Yet another example of a Bait and Switch method of answering the "topic".
As you rightly pointed out, the society fails to address the REAL issue why most leave : That IT IS simply NOT the Truth!

Can we talk confidentially?
by wheelwithinwheel inthe lot video shows what most elder’s offices are like.
actually it a pretty well-equipped one and with the video context is, without a doubt, org-approved.
but let’s face it.

Confidentiality amongst Elders? Hahahahahaha........
Elders and their families are often the biggest cause of unbridled gossip.
Sister elder finds out something, and says to her friend while out in service "shh... I shouldn't say anything, BUT because you're a good friend, I can share this...."
yep...that's how it goes....

Once again, this society video showed it was the WOMAN caused the distresses to the family.
How come the video doesn't show how weak and insipid the husband was? His failure to provide enough income made the wife feel the need to work.
So really It is HIS fault....

What Kind Of Psychological Conseling Do You Think Jehovah's Witnesses Need When They Find Out It's Not The Truth?
by Brokeback Watchtower ini personally would like to see they get the very best but haven't a clue how to do it what are your benevolent words of wisdom, should a person do a deep research on his own a kind of self medication or should they brush up on some psychology,, who should they trust because after you leave you got big trust issues.. i don't know about you but to me it was a real shocker, i was totally into getting their worthless bull shit out of my head.
i choose the self medicate path and did as must research as time would allow,, science was a biggie for me, it was enjoyable learning to get so much bull shit out of my head..

Oh and also, simply being assisted to see that this life is ALL WE HAVE, and therefore rather than just biding time awaiting some future promised utopian make believe world, we need to value each and every day we have.
Make your life count now!
