if you had 2 minutes with an old witness friend or with a family member to convince them the 'truth' is a lie and the gb isnt being directed by god what would you say to get their attention that might make them question their beliefs?.
They didn't get to be a JW in 2 minutes, so it's hard to imagine undoing that level of indoctrination in such a short time. It took me over 6 years to wake up after I was exposed to TTATT, and everybody's different.
That being said, you can make a sizable dent in 2 minutes, even one well chosen sentence. Maybe not an immediate life-changer, but something that will stick with them and maybe "bear fruit" later. (Sorry for the subconscious JW-ism.)
having listened to the two gb helpers (and cedar's interspersed commentary), i was somewhat taken aback at the comments on the widespread availability of smartphones and such at bethel.
of course, in the congregations, too.

BTW I look forward to seeing the pillowgate videos as I've only seen the two minute trailer. Did you see the rebuttal video or are the actual videos out there yet?

I think were it not for rising printing costs combined with dwindling contributions, along with lawsuits, they would still be condemning the internet and using physical publications. It's a necessary evil for them.
do you think elders and gb members monitor this site to catch people?.
@dubstepped
Do you remember any details so I can try to locate any posts where someone describes being outed through revealing personal information here? Just wondering if it's actually been documented.
This is something that's crossed my mind before, and I even asked Simon to delete a post of mine that was only moderately revealing. The chances were negligible but it was mostly for my own peace of mind.
prompted by one of our fellow posters- jrjw who started a thread asking how to remove "kingdom melodies" from our head, this song title came to mind!
(sorry for the earworm everyone😉).
it got me thinking.
How about the song that rhymes spacious, vexatious, vivacious and efficacious in rapid succession 😕
is this true?
is this really true?!.

I actually feel sorry for the single guys there at bethel it must be hard
Pun intended?
good day to all on this discussion board.
i am "godbless" and i am new to this discussion board.
i live in westmoreland, jamaica.
I believe Jehovah God and Jesus Christ both are using me
You and thousands of other crackpots from the dawn of civilization.
I'm not trying to be mean, but there's ample evidence that JWs NEVER were a special chosen people from the beginning. Like OneEyedJoe said, JWfacts.com is a great place to start pulling the curtain back. There's nothing special back there, never has been.
this is my first post to this site, im pale.emperor's brother:).
first of all, i've left being a jw in june.
since then my family have tried to convince me it's "the truth" and force me to go back even though it's my own decision.
Hi Dan, so good to hear from you directly. After hearing your brother's heart wrenching story I feel I know you somewhat already. I'm sorry for both of you but also happy and hopeful. Look forward to your future input on the forum.
just seen this announced on reddit:.
ken cook was announced today at morning worship as the new member of the governing body.
i dont recall him from the broadcasts, but he was formally a helper on the writing committee as per https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/governing-body/.
Well they take turn hosting so no doubt he will too.

Wow, this is unusual. There's no record of him at all on Watchtower Online Library or jw dot org, aside from the old list of GB helpers. No mention, let alone a picture.Interesting that he hasn't been very prominent up until now.
