Nothing about this at out hall. Our elders sure are old though. About one of them has died each year for the past few years. Most of the 30 year olds in our hall are MS but really no signs of them reaching out beyond that.

Another "reaching out" guilt trip this weekend, apparently.
by OneEyedJoe ini just got word that the brothers of my congregation is "encouraged to attend a special meeting" this saturday.
i was told to bring the od book, and the 9/15/14 and 4/15/15 study wts.
judging by the articles in those, it's going to be another guilt trip to get all us dead-beat kids in our 20s and 30s to "reach out" to be jr. cult leaders.

Who REALLY believed in the idea of living forever on earth??

?

Not sure if I ever really believed it. For the past ten years I have had some major doubts. Now I know it's all bunk. The idea that you can cheat death is just so stupid. My 60 yr old dad really thinks that he won't die. -

Being in a cult - what good did it do?
by Garrett inso, here's a bit of a different point of view.
while most of us will agree that our time within the jw cult was rather terrible, however, i'd like to look at another aspect.
did anything good come out of being in a cult and then waking up from it?.

Really interesting discussion and something that I think about often.
As a still in Dub with a great life, wonderful (fully indoctrinated) wife, and two beautiful kids, I wonder what I would have had if I wasn't born into this cult.
My mom is a super hero type. I give her the majority of the credit for raising three fairly well balanced children. In the end I think that she was able to do this in spite of this cult. Not as a result of it.
I feel that those that thrive in DubLand probably would of done even better without it. Would those that had a horrible existence in this cult have done better without it? I am not so sure.

Garrett,
Take it easy on yourself. My wife whom I live with and have a great life with will not listen to common sense regarding this cult. This indoctrination runs so deep. You have ZERO chance at convincing most dubs. Especially if u r dealing with elders. In my case I have learned to slow down and play the long game.

Will the Watchtower Corporation ever get mastery over Satan's worldly Internet?
by Brokeback Watchtower inwith satan's media and satan's internet the odds seem to be in his favor,while jehovah's earthly organization with all these multi-million dollar lawsuits waiting to be settled in or out of court it.. it seems that satan's multi-organization can claim the high moral ground while jehovah's earthly organization is left holding the bag full(in the thousands 23,000?
) of anonymous child molesters just waiting for another victim and more lawsuits in the making.
looks like a victory for satan demoting jehovah's organization to the shit can file of ancient history.. for a hundred years it looked like jehovah's organization was going to keep going strong then jehovah caused so many wrong dates for when the end of the world was coming and now with the invention of the internet where these big problems with jehovah can be aired in public seems to cast a spell of doom over jehovah causing him to hate to see tight pants on men and women and child like wizard toys and deaf people mastering the art of baiting ..

whats wrong with discussing the possibility? In the past when people got DFed they usually were still indoctrinated. That's no longer true. These ones now learn TTATT which changes everything. The Internet is the great equalizer. It may not end the Borg but you better believe that it will bloody it up real good.
