Recent mistakes of the Governing Body contributing to the decline of JWs

by slimboyfat in

they have made so many strategical mistakes it's hard to keep track.

some changes within the last decade or so that are contributing to declining numbers of jws:.

1. elimination of book study groups, the most informal, enjoyable and sociable of the jw meetings, contributed to loss of sense of community among jws.. 2. policy of consolidating kingdom halls.

If I'm a "Worldly person", and a JW comes to the door, first thing I do after reluctantly taking their mags is type into google "Jehovah's Witnesses". And I see this. Yah for Simon and his great website!!! It's top 5 for all those truth seekers now :> After a couple of clicks, most "householders" can quickly learn about the TTATT and tell the JW's next time to take a hike.

Same goes for normal JW's as well. Even ones just looking for jw.org are going to be lazy and type in Jehovah's Witnesses at some point......and the rabbit hole begins :>

Just a little anecdote illustrating how out of touch the typical JW is

by sir82 in

this weeks book study lesson was on martha, the sister of lazarus.

the chapter in the "imitate their faith" book praised her for being "industrious".. the conductor at our congregation meeting was just positively gushing about how "industrious" modern-day jw women are.. he was so exciting, he could barely get the words out.

following is not an exact quote, but conveys the gist:.

Sir82 - I remember at the meetings elders would ALWAYS make snide little sexists comments.....and everyone would LAUGH and LAUGH and LAUGH...

Even when I was a teenager, I never laughed. Just sat there seriously like someone had died. Such losers. Don't know how you could stand there through the whole story w/o punching him.

Pardon my political views, but I don't see Mrs Clinton as the best role model for anyone...habitual liar, arrogant, condescending, holier than thou attitude, deceitful, back stabber, possible bribery, questionable intelligence (email scandal), questionable morals, questionable ethics. not mention the stories I hear of her behind close doors to her underlings and worker bees...to put it mildly, she is a real B.

Imagine living in JW's Paradise.

by James Mixon in

lets say you are able to go back in time to the first man( their belief adam) 7000 years.. now you are magically transporter back to adam time with the knowledge you have from.

todays world..would you make life a little easier for you and your family???

you may move.

someDUDEinAsmallCubicalSomewhereOverTheRAINBOX

Luckily in a JW paradise you are not immortal - you are just perfect but still mortal. Theoretically, of course.

So in light of that, I would swiftly curse God for such a plight and stick a sharply crafted shiv from a plant husk into my gut to bleed out.

Single Sisters Over A Certain Age Group Getting A Bad Rap

by HiddlesWife in

i'm new here; one of my relatives was a member on this forum a few years ago and told me about it.

anyways, as a sister who has been in the org since childhood and now in her late 40's (plus as a woman of color), i have noticed that a number of brothers have an ageist attitude.

they are very accepting of young women under 26 and rejecting women over that age, particularly those in their 30's and over.. is this an unspoken mindset from wthq (specifically from bethel), or is it that quite a number of males (sorry, i'm not sexist here) have this type of mentality?

From the viewpoint of a witless - "Sister so-and-so is already 30 and not married...something must be wrong with her. If she was really a good Christian and chaste and humble and submissive and a goody goody JW wifey, then she would've already been married by now...something must be REALLY wrong with her to be 30 and not married!!!"

Just my 2cents. If your not married by 30, then your done for.

If you could speak to your former self, what would you say?

by LoveUniHateExams in

if you, knowing ttatt, could go back in time and speak to your former jw self, what would you say to wake yourself up from the wt religion?.

i would speak to my unbaptised publisher self.

at that stage, i believed.

How Many People are Living a Lie?

by awokenjw in

jw
friends

one of the things i often wonder about at the meetings is how many of these people are actually living a lie or sinning in secret?

and more importantly, how do these ones stomach it?

in my case, i have secretly dated and done things disapproved by the wt with a pioneer sister in my congregation for years and we both go to the same meeting twice a week and pretend everything is perfect and nothing has happened.

someDUDEinAsmallCubicalSomewhereOverTheRAINBOX

At the peak of my JW "career", I was a well respected MS + pioneer. My years of pioneering total around 15+, and I was an MS for roughly the same. I was giving public talks and whatever else was requested.

I was also seeing escorts (sometimes on the same day as my public talk) 2-3 times a month, watching extremely sadistic movies (well beyond horror - more masochistic + torture + depicted life-like mass murders + cannibals + ect ...messed up stuff) daily, extreme porn, soft porn, LBGT porn, sadistic porn, violent porn, filthy emails to girls/guys, sexting, extreme sex acts (aka anal sex, TS sex, bondage, many fetishes, ect), whatever the hell I felt like doing really. And I was/am good at hiding it.

Sometimes, before giving talks, I had to see a escort just to clear my mind. At 6PM night of. wore my suit and everything.....I did shower afterwards though...

I have, of course, faded. And I still do the above. But if you saw me on the street you'd think I'm the nicest person and just a regular guy. Clean cut, in good shape, healthy. I actually still look the same...just sometimes grow a beard.

But in truth I'm complete sick f***. And I have accepted it.

Expanding number of DC/RC's

by DwainBowman in

according to my elder in law, by next year the number of dc/rc's will increase by 143. the size of conventions will get smaller.

the elder in law says the goal is to make them all have around 2,000 or so at each.

they are going to make more manuals detailing each job and it's responsibilities.

someDUDEinAsmallCubicalSomewhereOverTheRAINBOX

At our assembly hall, they stuff us in there like cattle. So it definitely has the the "feel" of being "more" people at each RC. Even the meeting rooms and eating areas upstairs are used.

But you look at the schedule and there is like 10 during the months of June-Aug lool SO FAKE!!! It's definitely a trick to hide the number decrease....
