the reason i say this is because the last 1.5 years was around the summer of 2013 that i started see new light changes and changes with the rebranding.
so it would be interesting to know how many people have joined.
just image how many lurk out of fear of being caught.

if possible that would be encouraging info...(sorry to take a loaded word out of jwland)

welcome to the boad and your freedom. prove them wrong and live a fruitfull life.

so i am getting really frustrated...i see jdub's wearing jw.org items and .
isn't this idol worship.
respond if you like...i just want some .
Imagine the Congitive Dissonance the sheeple are experiencing. correct me if i am wrong...but didn't the washtowel tell sheeple not have decales on cars the show support for bands or athletes or not to wear shirts with logos because it was idol worship. could anyone find a wt or awake that state this?
I know the washtowel is against tattoos, but if some one got a tatoo of the blue org thing. would they then say it was ok to have a tattoo?
it's a cult

so i have gotten into arguements with my wife in the past about this cult.
now a days after reading steve hassan books...i just try and avoid anything jdub with her.
try to keep her in authentic mode..(not sure she really has one).
Thanks everyone for the comments...i do agree, that the faith without works is one of the manipulative things the dubs use to control the sheeple.
it's such a sad thing to see when you wake up and learn TTATT. very frustrating.

anyways...when we have gotten in fight she will come up with the words. "faith without works is dead" i know where the phrase comes from.
she uses this to pertain to going out in circus and going to meetings. " i would like my response to be...well shat about all the christians who help the poor and feed the hungry. arn't they doing fine works:
what scriptures could i use to back this up about chritians helping the poor and others less fortunate.

i just barfed in my mouth.
i have been wondering lately if guy pierce did not approve of all these changes like jw broadcasting, the new jw kingdom halls and the direction that they are currently moving in.
i know that some changes happened while he was alive but a lot of these changes seemed to be pushed right after his death..
for example, jw broadcasting almost sounds like it was rushed out within 2 months.
when i joined the cult....a short 6.5 years ago it was bad...but it has gotten exponentially worse in the last 2 years. it has put a new diffintion on what a cult is.
