Three graphs in connection with the Watch Tower's current financial situation
by slimboyfat ina number of public statements by the governing body indicate that they are experiencing financial difficulty and they have appealed to jws to donate more money.
public information on the financial situation of the watchtower society is limited.
but what does the information they do publish indicate about their situation?

It wouldn't surprise me if the leadership receives money in a secret way.
As in, illegal payments/payroll disguised as 'expenses'.
I am convinced the deception is premeditated and planned for maximum profits. I hope this is proven true and the criminals at the top are brought to justice for their evil practices.

Perfect Example of JW Dumbing Down
by thedepressedsoul injust take a look at this video.
i think arguing or debating scriptures is the most pointless thing ever.
everything at their meetings are so basic with no explanation.

I got out just before the use of tablets and videos as presentations.
My wife admitted she doesn't bring a paper copy of the Bible to the door anymore. It's unbelievable.
Part of the video that bothered me, was the complete lack of respect when the man was reading form his bible. The sister was,'mmm hmm', 'yeah', while searching her tablet for a scripture to defend her beliefs, all the while ignoring the thoughts of those she is supposedly showing love toward. Shameful. Listen how many times she interrupts him while he is speaking.

What will happen when they go full cult mode
by RobertT18 inand they start delivering their message of judgment?
what do you think will happen when they start knocking on doors and telling people that their families will be killed in armageddon because they did not believed in jehovah.
i'm curious how people will react.

They will never switch to a message of judgement.
It's one of many scary things that must happen prior to Harm-u-gettin.
Gog's attack, the Assyrian, persecution, kings of north/south, attack on Babylon the Great, Great Tribulation, bunker life...
It just goes on and on.
It another thing to fear that acts as a control mechanism to maintain cult membership.

Oh... and out of territory calls that are never home.
'Start your time' at a laundry-matte, then a two hour round trip with a coffee break in the middle...

It became the custom that immediately after the morning text, the group would drive straight to the coffee shop.
Drive back and forth across town, wasting time without really doing anything except gossip or talk about the fun stuff they did or are planning to do after 'service'. Rarely talking to anyone.
Another JW told me once, he counts the time he had set aside to preach.
It didn't matter what the group did. He counted the time.The yearly totals are completely fabricated and mean nothing.
I can't believe I never faked my time. What a waste!
----
Early morning service was a colossal joke as well.
Meet at 7:00am. Drive to private laundry rooms in apartment complexes leaving magazines on the appliances.Usually, the old mags were still there or in the trash can. Sometimes torn in pieces.
The most pathetic part was when this would be carried out from a 6 or more passenger van. You'd be out for two hours and only get out a few times, just to switch out the old mags and count the placement.
The rest of the time, drinking coffee and eating snacks and chatting it up. Such a waste...< preaching >

Another brother steps back
by konceptual99 inso at the meeting this week it was announced that a certain brother was no longer serving as a ministerial servant.. this is a guy who was brought up in a different country as his family went to serve where the need was greater.
this is a guy who was home schooled and went straight into pioneering.
he then went and worked on building projects in various places in europe and africa.

I had quite the experience when I resigned as a MS.
I told one elder, in person, that I no longer want to be a servant.
I also said, I do not want to talk to anyone about it.They bought that!
They cut me loose within a week or so.
Funny part of the story is the elder running the first part of the meeting pulls me aside and confesses to me of his previous deletion(s) and offered to let me open the meeting in prayer.
I took that. It was amazing.
I'm sure people were freaking out, especially since I answered three more times after the announcement during the remainder of the meeting.It was the start of a solid fade.
Then they triggered me... -

What's your passion???
by Faith after Deception inyesterday, i was feeling very blue.
this is quite unusual for me, as i tend to be quite an upbeat, positive person, so spells of sadness or depression take me by surprise and are a real shock to the system.
you know, i don’t believe in “putting on a face” or pretending to be ok; this “fake it ’til you make it” malarkey has never been something i’ve liked.

After exiting the JWs I took my trombone playing to the professional level.
I rehearse every week with multiple groups and get paid to perform!Dream come true.

If I had to do all of this over again, I too would choose slow and steady.
I went 'all in', right away.
That rarely works.---
Three years later, my wife still attends all of the meetings, mans a trolley and says she's going to "wait on Jehovah". ( Wait and see attitude )
I'm DFd for 'admitted apostasy'.

Celebration for those on JWD
by Quarterback inso let's just say that the wt org is now finished.
families with da/df members are now reunited.
everyone is burning their med directive cards.

When WT collapses for good, it will be nothing but trauma and sadness for any active JW.
It would be like Satan won at Armageddon for them.
Jehovah lost.I expect mass suicides. Terrible.
---
Celebration will be for a time after the horrors are uncovered and the healing begins.
---
Be ready to help those family and friends that have nothing left but 'the apostates' they have been showering with love by shunning them all these years.
I don't know if I'm up to it, to be honest.
Some of those guys were just dicks!
