My thoughts exactly @Data Dog! This video has alot of emotional appeal from impoverished third-world countries. The brother who mentions how a CO helped him only speaks vaguely regarding his issue. (I'd bet it involved higher education or even pursuing a steady career) He only said: "he helped me to see things in the RIGHT way." This video is BS and hopefully the congregations in the United States and other developed lands will see through this decent use of pathos.
Definitely a cult!
the past five weeks have been perhaps the most painful in my life as a witness.. some months ago a young man (i'd say in his late thirties or early forties) began attending meetings at my kingdom hall.
he had just moved to my area from another state.
he had disassociated himself from his home congregation many years back, when he was 20 years old and going through many of the typical trials and temptations most young men experience.. two of the elders met with him initially, and they later shared the details with the body of elders.
So glad you've come to this conclusion.....and I envy your position to immediately exit this cult!

i have just found out that my brother (who was one of a bunch that shared this login) has died.. he and his wife were living in another country where they once pioneered.
i didn't see him that often.. such an empty feeling.....
so after being deleted because of my comment on her instagram post by my sister-in-law i got a text from her stating she didn't want a debate on instagram and the scripture i posted would not apply to satan, they are worried about me, go see elders, return to jehovah, or else you won't get life, etc etc.... i'm ready to respond with the following reply:.
so....hit send?
make changes?
i recently attended the rc for my area.
while there, i encountered a old family "friend" who recently lost her jw husband.
as the interaction proceeds she relates that her grand daughter, who's around my age (early twenties) has "left jehovah".

As the interaction proceeds she relates that her grand daughter, who's around my age (early twenties) has "left Jehovah". I then asked my mother if the young woman in question was "bright". She affirmed, and I felt so encouraged; I'm known for being a once zealous MS, who is currently an apathetic free-thinker/rebel. I felt powerless the entire RC, to intervene in the massive indoctrination of thousands who will waste their lives in this cult.
The Youth are Waking up!
i have just read the book crises of conscience in less than 3days!
i could not put it down!
even in front of my jw wife and her family.

DOC just told em' to STFU lol
But seriously, slow down with the fam...and be sure to have a good excuse for the elders when you submit your letter requesting that you no longer be considered a pioneer. They will want to get into your business, but don't give them too much of a reason. It is not their concern what you do with YOUR time.

thanks to bu2b and splash who mentioned this quote in another thread!.
but i thought it deserved a thread all of its own, such is the impact of this:.
the very best example of going beyond the things written comes from a 2008 watchtower.
for decades, i slaved for wts, mentally, emotionally, financially, familially, socially, educationally.. at times, when i was the only one caring for the maintenance needs of the local kh, and being discouraged at the "sacrifices" being contributed to the borg, my spouse would say: "jehovah sees what you are doing.".
and yet, later, my spouse turned on me, turning instead to "jehovah's elders" and totally threw me under the bus.. paul, allegedly, said in hebrews: "for god is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name.".
i feel nothing of the sort.. does anyone feel similarly?.
Yes, but you must remember to these people:
God = The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses
The moment you abandon the GB, the moment you abandoned God....not to mention the reality is their god, is a tyrannical group of men.....of course they forgot your works as soon as you finished them!
Definitely a Cult.
