Welcome corruptgirl! So glad you have learned TTATT. My husband introduced me to his doubts and TTATT before I came to my own conclusion. Reading COC was an eye opener for him. I am grateful that he shared his doubts. I knew for years (maybe my whole life) that something just was not right. Now I know what that "something" was. It was TTATT!

"These people are going to be hit up for money left and right to help people who followed the religion's unwise advice!!...There will be NO end to this! This will be the ugly reality and the new normal in the Witness religion."
Yes, I agree. The issue that we believe is starting to happen and will continue to happen is those people getting hit up for money are getting tired of being "hit up" all of the time. The GB and other "priviledged" ones in the KH insult those who choose a different path (jobs and education) and then they come around when they need something (money and/or skills). It's becoming more and more obvious to so many. They are tapping everyone out!

Yup...shunning is alive and well. It will get more intense after their summer convention on loyalty.
Inactives will get hit hard. We will stand tall and give the one finger salute!

"yet they choose to talk us out of school, then ask for people with degrees to come to bethel and work on the new computer system."
Here's where the contradictions and hypocrisy comes in. I guess if WT can "use" you to pursue "kingdumb interests" all is ok.

"This means that we need to examine our heart constantly to see if it is being enticed by worldly entertainment, associations, and styles of dress and grooming. Or the love of the world might involve efforts to attain “great things,” such as through the pursuit of higher education. (Jer. 45:4, 5)"
Higher education helps us attain "great things?
Mortgage or monthly rent
Health insurance
Food
Clothes/shoes/school supplies for kids
Glasses/braces for kids
Car payment to get to and from work
Gas/car insurance for car to get to and from work.
These are MY "great things." How about you?
These are the things people that don't live in the real world pass judgement onto others that are just trying to support their families.

Sad but it happens. I believe some are very lonely and struggle to make connections outside of JW land so they return for the friendships and family. Sad! -

"The GB is only making their problems worse with this approach"
They are doing a great job! Sit back, watch and relax, they are tying their own noose.
