I just finished my RC and was thinking bout this very thing while sitting there. There were probably 30 movies played during the 3 days. I think that these movies were wildly successfull at deepening people's brainwashing. The vast majority are so deeply brainwashed and are showing no signs of waking up. When we see something like the money begging and are disgusted by it, they think " wow, what great counsel. I really need to get better about donating".

Does The Governing Body Have Enemies At Bethel?
by Brokeback Watchtower ini would think that a lot of resentment is building up for these for these guys at bethel even though it may not be discussed openly for fear of being abused by the gb in some way.. any way looking at their personality and the extreme phoniness of rubber mouth/face lett, and am#3, and the chicken shit coward leosch who won't even show up in court when subpoena'd to defend his faith or policies, and i'm sure they have many more undesirable traits that repel people instead of attract and that has to work its toll on relationships they have at bethel.. and this shunning thing i'm sure must really erk some at god's house and while they may not be free to voice their discontent i feel it must be building because these guys are complete nincompoops when it come to reality and the only way they know how to give direction is with fear and guilt which i'm sure is rubbing a lot of people the wrong way.. and let not forget the issues that are raise when they stole all the congregations savings and the pledge drive for more cash, ban on higher education, lawsuit pay out and etc.... what is this doing to the relation ship they have with legal and accounting i see trouble brewing right thier in the spiritual pair of dice..

Is your wife possibly bi-curious? If not then don't worry about it. -

I'll be a Witness when I retire.
by adjusted knowledge ini was around age 5 when my father allowed an elder and his wife into our home for a bible study.
my father never got baptized and left the religion completely when i was 12. he would tell the family that when he retires he would return to the religion.
he never went into absolutely why he left, but i think it has to do with the fact he reported an elder's daughter making out with a "worldly" guy, and it was my father that got lambasted.

I recommend an hour in a sauna while drinking a gallon of water. That will help with the bottle flu. -

Depends on the family. I went to a funeral a few months ago and the DFed family was allowed to go to the after dinner. But they kept it to family only. Not everyone from the Congo was invited. -

OMG, I’m gonna get Old and Die.

Great post JA. I have really enjoyed reading the responses.
I'm not sure how much I ever really believed so it wasn't really that big of a shock to me to wake up and realize I will die one day. I'm not angry or depressed about this. It's just a fact of life. I am however really pissed that I can't figure how to wake my wife up. I can't let my two daughters grow up believing this lie like I did.

Are You "Technically" Still A Jehovah's Witness?
by minimus ineven if you don't regard yourself as a practicing jw, some may view you simply as inactive, a lost sheep, etc.. if you were baptized but not disfellowshipped or disassociated, you may still be a jw---right?
your thoughts please..

I think that the 607 discussion would appeal to some dubs. My dad would never leave for an emotional reason. hopefully something like this will eventually wake him up.
