  hello forum,.

  i'm new here and not sure where to post.

  so, i'm 21 years old and currently a baptized witness, however, i'm slowly making my mind up to leave and here's why.. first, there are certain things that make no sense to me in the organization.

  Hi Garret, welcome to your awakening! This forum should prove helpful to you in the coming months, in the interim, I would encourage you to avoid DA yourself. This will only sever ties with family and friends. You don't have to do this unless it becomes a last resort.

  elders in wealthy lands may find it difficult to encourage baptized brothers in their 20s or 30s to do more in the congregation.

  ex- perienced elders in about 20 lands told us why they believe that some young brothers do not do more in the congregation.

  most of them said that when some brothers were young, their parents did not encour- age them to set goals in jehovahs ser- vice.

  my mom called me yesterday to ask how i was doing.

  i hadn't seen her in a while, so it was nice to hear her voice.

  we went through the motions of jw small talk and then she started telling me about her co visit from last week.

  Its both. The end is always considered imminent in WT world. When you're aiding a pregnant woman through delivery, you continually say: "ONE MORE!" and again: "ONE MORE!" until she delivers. The GB knows they have major problems, so they continue to keep the rank and file on the treadmill. 

  Combine that with the constant RBC work, for real estate profits, cutting back on size of magazines, even circulating questionnaires in an attempt to make all new releases direct to internet.....this organization is all about saving money, so that there will still be an organization.

  Who is your favorite "Apostate"? Who helped you see the truth about "The Truth"?

  i would have to say that ray franz was the biggest influence for me.. when i first got on this board, a poster by the name of james, a former bethelite and organization heavy, helped me understand a lot of the inner workings in the upper echelons of the society.. .

  and of course, farkel's common sense approach was (usually) helpful..

  "GB=Faithful slave" TRUE reason for change revealed

  john ekrann, a helper to the gb, revealed the true reason for the change was protecting jws from apostates and other "anointed" christians.. see: http://tv.jw.org/#video/vodprogramsevents/pub-jwbmw_e_201501_2_video (around 4:55ms).

  Never any evidence to support this supposedly biblical claim of being the F & D slave....of Jesus' parable. This isn't Examining the Scriptures Daily, it should be: Perverting the Scriptures Daily

  Please stop studying with these folks! Most of the members here would give their left nut to go back and simply say: "No Thanks."

  hi everyone, i'm nearing the end of steven hassan's first book: combating cult mind control.

  as i was on the chapter which describes 'mini interventions', i had an ah-ha moment regarding wtbs and the stance on two matters which awoken doubts in me earlier:.

  college enrollment (on campus housing vs. off campus housing, etc.).

  by Simon in

  2. announcements

  well, we survived the first month at least!

  yes, the new forum is now 1 month old.. of course there have been some issues and i'm grateful that people have been patient while i worked on them.

  a big thank-you to everyone who's been patient, have provided useful feedback or just been willing to adapt to something new during the transition.. i've also made some improvements along the way and am fairly happy with how things are from a basic functionality and performance perspective so it's time to start looking at some of the new features i've been planning.
