this video will be played at one of the clam meetings in march 2016.. the content is kind of old news because it is a recut version of a previous video produced for the elder's school.

however, it's still significant because it shows that the organization still has dissenting brothers in positions of leadership.. my thanks to the leaker.

feel free to claim credit here.

lett is back with a vengance!.

* the last money-begging effort increased donations by 15% for two months; a letter by a 13 year old who donated is read out loud.

* since last may "so many good things have happened".

Powermetal4ever

Yes it was a real privilege to us as well to have him here LOL.

"It was my "privilege" to attend a large regional convention in Stockholm, Sweden. . ."
Now I wonder how much of that cost Lett paid for, and how much was paid for out of the money that rolled in after the May fund raising broadcast?

Going to see Star Wars:The Force Awakens - What are you seeing?

this is not an attempt to 'straightjacket' anyone into a fixed interpretative perspective.

so set your mind free and see satan and his demons if you reallynwant to adopt a possible jw perspective.

or, just sit back and watch the show and the trick affects if you want.. or like the uk guardian you could see the movie in terms of dysfunction (personal and family).. quote: the original movies were always based on the most extraordinary nexus of personal and family dysfunction: a motor of guilt, shame and conflict.

after a long struggle with myself, i did send a sms to my mother this morning, telling her i didn't want to go to the meeting, and that i no longer believe in the organisation, don't really believe in god any more either but i put that out.

i wrote about three things that i thought are obvious, the overlapping generation that doesn't make sense, the flood an the animals in australia- how they came there.

and jw tv that makes them look as any other religion.

Powermetal4ever

Update!

My mum phoned me ant we spoke for a whole hour about different stuff. It turned out she has doubt about certain things and especially the overlapping generation-thing. It also sounded like she understood me. She said that its different for me that has never been in the "world" and haven´t been able to explore other religions like she did before choosing this one. She was crying a bit, must have been a chock for her to realise I don't believe anymore. On the other hand, I thought she would be angry, and I really dreaded what her reaction would be like.

I hope your mom comes around and actually recognizes the validity of your argument.

Yes I got the feeling that she actually did that, but time will tell how it works out. I guess it depends on how much she speaks about this with others and so.

It is indeed quite the internal struggle between being true to yourself and not, but I believe you made the right choice in being honest.
Nothing may come of it, so don't sweat it, you'll cross that bridge if and when etc etc.
Don't let anyone shame you for being honest.

This must be the best I have read for a long time :) This is exactly how I feel, I need to be true to myself...I can't do the fade, like others. It might work good for some, but I felt I just couldn't do that.
