  A Troubling Culture: JW Group Think vs. Individual Critical Thinking

  by MicaSmith in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i had no idea that the resistance, governance, and duplicity i am experiencing as a jehovah witness is actually part of a bigger behavioral issue that permeates the entire jehovah witness culture.. i was troubled by the fact that many persons who have been crushed by the unfair practices of jw leadership described themselves as former members of the jw cult, and, or, apostates.

  the latter bothered me to a greater degree because i felt the word apostate has been overused by jw's leadership and members.

  anyone who disagrees with anything the governing body does or says is assigned the label an apostate.

  Isn't it funny that once awake, the 'Awake!' magazine title becomes an ironic joke.

  A big sign no one can miss that says:

  Shun exJWs in imitation of Jesus

  Or

  Wachtower's Pedophile problems are not "apostate lies"

  "research 1975, JWs"

  Something easy to read from a distance that once seen is already read.

  They want to get rid of "anointed ones" - It's getting clear

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've never met a group that turns on it's members like the jw's.

  sister faithful that thinks she's anointed is now bat shit crazy with mental illness.

  we all have known it's true, but now you have the wt, who put it in everyone's head that you can be anointed.

  The only relevance the 'number of partakers' had is with the failed prophecy of "Millions now living Will Never Die". ( the generation of anointed that saw the sign in 1914 )

  When the numbers were steadily decreasing it meant we were close to 'The End'©. yay!

  That generation is meaningless now with the wonderful nu-lite of 'Overlapping Generations' and so are the 'anointed', meaningless.

  This is part of the last phase of failed prophesy cover-up operations.

  Ridiculous and sad.
  Many saw it coming.

  The Modern Exodus: Perception or Reality?

  by Hadriel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm completely new at this however just in my joining this forum and of course interacting with others i can't help but notice what appears to be a significant exodus from the organization.. for those of you that have long been in this game have you seen this before?

  i'm really curious and we should refrain from the sensational, but is what we're seeing different than in years past?.

  it sure seems like so so many are waking and leaving.

  Imagine if the access to the information we individually discovered that allowed us to make the tough decision to leave was available 20 years ago?

  Everyone uses or will use the internet for everything in the next few years.

  Watchtower can no longer hide it's cult tactics from the masses.
  Plain and simple.

  Estimating future growth or decline of Watchtower

  by shepherdless in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have seen a few posts here, in various guises, in relation to whether watchtower is in decline.

  plenty of people respond, but it is all fairly anecdotal, or "gut feel".

  some of it has been wishful thinking.. as of late 2015, watchtower's numbers suggest it is still growing marginally, but there are various anecdotes on this site of publishers typically being older, and younger ones disappearing.

  Once the AUS commission starts forcing WT to pay out money and the future ones in other countries do the same, It will be impossible to hide the FACT that the donations to the WWW that JWs have been making for their entire lives are paying for Watchtower crime...

  Then, add in awakened JWs watching the ARC video archives after seeing a 'satanic' media report that turned out to be 100% true.

  When that is clearly evident, the exodus will be unstoppable.

  How WT hides this much longer is the bigger mystery.

  With the shortage of eldurrz and savantz, one could see the need to return to the days before my time of the 'congregation servant'.

  Was that like a pastor? Did all the parts?

  Anyway, just hit play and now the meeting is on autopilot!

  Good times~

  Seems like most have come to the same conclusion.

  Some seem to believe they have a relationship with god.
  Can anyone explain what that means?

  Even when I was "all in" , I never thought I had any kind of relationship with any non-humans.

  I unknowingly knew all along, as anytime I would try to pray out loud while alone I felt like a fool and could not finish.

  I gave what must be hundreds of public prayers.
  All rambling nonsense.
  With an audience, somehow, jehobo was listening.

  25 years of waiting for any kind of answer or direction was finally enough for my 'faith'.

  Gullible does not begin to describe my state of mind.
