- "Even my still-in wife thought that the watchtower was harsh yesterday."Let's hope more still ins felt this way yesterday. WT is digging their own grave. The comments on higher education, the zone meeting about a year and a half ago (Tony Morris talk), the money grab, the Bethel layoffs. It has to be having a tremendous impact on WT.

50Today's Study - Shun Disfellowshipped Family, Don't Marry Outsiders, Tell On Others!
by Divergent inurghhh... what a disgusting study!7 a conflict of loyalties may arise when a close relative is disfellowshipped.
for example, a sister named anne received a telephone call from her disfellowshipped mother.
the mother wanted to visit anne because she felt pained by her isolation from the family.

WT is a doom and gloom cult. Happiness is only for the future, not today. We did not realize how serious a problem this is within WT. The further away from them you get, the more clear you can see it. Life is good (even with it's challenges). Enjoy everyday! -

After yesterdays WT study, it confirmed again, we made the right decision to exit this religion. What a hateful, unforgiving, judgmental and hypocritical cult! -

Legends in their own minds.
I agree with nonjwspouse, they may not reports numbers this year. I hope they don't. That would be a tell tale sign the numbers are truly decreasing.

Why haven't you been to the meetings?
by Zana insome cong-member asked my wife this question (in the street, stopping her on her bicycle) in a rather police-like fashion.
i wasn't there so i don't know her immediate reaction and response, but she got very upset afterwards and one day later this still occupies her mind.
i believe it's an emotional mix of anger, sadness, shame and guilt.. she doesn't like this intrusion in her privacy from some jws and on the next occasion she will try to make this person respect her boundaries (or just ignore her).

Tell them you can not give up oral sex in your marriage and it really bothers your conscience. Therefore, you are ashamed to enter the Kingdom Hall. Watch them, as there jaws hit the floor and they make a quick exit.
OR
You could also tell them you are having financial problems and really could use some help from the "friends." Guaranteed to make any JW run like hell, never to be seen again. Lol

Welcome. So glad you are here. This site has helped us so much. Kind of like therapy. We love hearing the perspective of ex eldubs. I find it interesting that you used 2 words to describe WT. These are the same 2 words I use to describe their actions....abuse and bullying. This is the main reason we left 3 years ago, then we learned TTATT.
We look forward to hearing more from you.

Don't you know God only brings extra sand when you are building a Kingdom Hall and he fixes leaks in roofs. He does not stop typhoons that hit Kingdom Halls, stop buses on their way to assemblies from crashing and he certainly can not stop a child from being molested.
JW's... the best cherry pickin cult around!

Two possible JW endings, #1 he stays the "spiritual route". He gets a job, his life falls all into place and they live happily ever after. Truly blessed indeed. #2 He leaves and his life goes to sh*t. Truly screwed indeed! lol -

OH THE DRAMA OF IT ALL! Great use of FEAR. They even got in the frequently used word....LOYALTY!
