bye... bye.... no more new printing presses for jw.org... the growth is so tremendous (irony...).. all printing work in europe will be arrange in the next month only in selters (germany), but no renovation or upgrading in printing presses is expected... it will be a full outsourcing :).
a worldly company axel s******* will be used.
this company is known to be printing bild newspaper... the interesting part of it is the logistics will be as well outsourced.
They already tricked the r&f into buying tablet devices and have been demonstrating and encouraging this for years.
Any old timers that resist can man a cart!
Let's face it, they are dying off and the younger faithful seem to thrive on tablet warfare... so burn on the publishers, once more as the WTS cashes in, AGAIN.
i'm a middle aged man.
i dated a jw lady for 3 months ., we never had sex, just made out , half naked , well everything except underwear .
she has been a jw for 40 years ., was married to a jw but he committed adultery 13 years ago so they divorced .
Sorry to hear of your situation. Best to part ways and save yourself from the misery that is to surely follow.
These people cannot be reasoned with and I'm finding firsthand, they mentally 'shut down' if you require them to think.
This is a subject that has caught my eye.
Let me pose a few questions:
1. what is the formula for determining the circumference of the earth?
( how much does the earth curve per mile? )
2. have you examined the thought behind this concept?
( spent more than 30 minutes? )
3. why do you believe the earth is round and can you prove it?
4. Do you know about US Govt Operation 'High Jump' led by US Admiral Byrd and the closure of Antarctica by international treaty for nearly 60 years.
( you can't go there and do whatever you want. Nobody can )
5. have you made any personal observations of your own?
( independent, recorded, repeatable data you gathered to make your claim )
thanks
sometimes it's hard to know if our own experience of jws was typical and what features were peculiar to our own area or the individual jws we knew personally.
i was wondering if others experienced this among jws:.
a few times on the ministry, when we were working wealthy areas with large houses, some brothers and sisters would make the comment that they look forward to taking ownership of one of these big houses after armageddon, when the worldly people have vacated them.
I have lived in only two communities.
Santa Cruz, Ca and Napa, Ca.
Both have very exclusive and wealthy neighborhoods with multi-million dollar homes.
This claiming of property, judging the inhabitants, and general bad thoughts about the 'worldly' was ALWAYS HAPPENING within the service groups. I have always found it disgusting and wrong. Sadly, I may have been caught up in it myself...

It's all because of the term "worldly".
Among the worst slurs against humanity.
Dehumanizes the majority of the population.
The JWs feel no pity. That is why they constantly pray for 'god' to destroy everyone. 'Let your kingdom come'.
They want the slaughter... and your house, too
lately i've been feeling just so fed up with this stupid religion i really can't take it anymore!
i'm starting to think that maybe i should just tell my parents how i really feel.
if they treat me too badly or kick me out i could probably stay with my non jw aunt.. ive just reached my breaking point, i don't really care what people think of me anymore.
two words:
Bus Ticket
well, thats it folks.. my identity on here has been rumbled and reported to the elders.
someone, somehow, has figured out that im a member of this site and - rather than speak to me - has promptly reported me to the elders.
i just feel sad for my daughter.
File charges for invasion of privacy.
Threaten legal action.
Report this to the local sheriff and learn how to proceed.

Elders are cowards.
noone and nothing can really prepare you for the burning pain you feel when your spouse leaves you after 8 years of marriage.
from one day to another, all your dreams, hopes and plans are shattered.. i still have so many questions which will remain unanswered in eternity.. the thread i made a few weeks ago, is part of this story.
after learning about ttatt my plans involved to wake up my wife as well and exit the truth.
now it's YOUR cue to leave.
^^ this ^^
i've posted these before but this one looks more "official".. .
"Watchtower Estate Sale"
i was raised in the cult, a 'golden boy' in jw about 15 years ago.
regular pioneer, went to pioneer school and then mts.
my dad is a gilead graduate and is still a serving elder.
That was a very well written letter.
Thanks for the post!

You don't need to try and convince them to leave WT.
Don't feel obligated to tell them everything or anything about the ORG.
That will be decided solely by you. ( you are not baptized )
It's you that is leaving. That is the message that needs to be received.
How you deliver it is yet to be seen.

best to you
