The "funniest" part of the entire talk. The entire outline was dealing with change and changes are good. Then at the end, he stated we know Jehovah is always there for us. He never changes! Huh! Jehovah never changes? Well his org. sure does!

They don't care how the ones are "warm and well fed." The only thing they are worried about is that they themselves are "warm and well fed."
So many gave up careers, kids, marriage, etc., to sacrifice and spend their lives in Bethel service. Now where are they to return? Back to the congregation, for the rank and file to take care of. Like others have mentioned, the money and benefits only go one way...to the top. So much for the sacrifice.

I so wish this video was realistic.
What the JW's portray and what really happens in "the time of need" are two different things.
Our experience during a difficult time goes 100% opposite of the video portrayed. If the Elders are not there for you when times are good, for the majority of the JW's, how are they going to be there for everyone when things are REALLY falling apart?
They are loosing their grip on people. JW's are on the internet reading so many negative things about their own beliefs, they are sending their kids to college and pursuing other enjoyments in life. It's like the little boy who cried wolf. The org is loosing credibility and they know it. How do they get people back in? FEAR, GUILT AND OBLIGATION. This video will work great on most of the people in our family, who are straying away.

"I only need ask them why it took them years to notice i was gone, where are all my good friends, where was my support system for my kids and broken marriage when i needed"
My question exactly. Why do they come around AFTER you leave. They don't give a rat's a** about you while you were in. They spend so much "time" on complete strangers but none on family and friends. The cracks are starting to show, with the amount of young ones leaving. We are also seeing long time active witnesses heading for the exit or just putting on a show to keep their social network. We have faded for approx. 3 years. Not one of my "girlfriends" (this includes family/female members) has tried to "encourage" me. Not one of my kids "friends" has tried inviting them anywhere. Once you leave, you are no longer worth the dirt on their shoes. Good riddance to them all! Life is too short to sit around and wait for any sort of love or encouragement. Go out and enjoy life! Looking forward to a stress free weekend with my family.

You have good intentions but you might as well spend the time banging you're head against the wall. You get NO WHERE with these people. 100% robots! -

I guess Serena Williams gets a little more attention then the average person. She's a bit more "special" than the rest of us. She always pisses me off with her verbal praises for Jahs assistance. Loved her photo of her and her Sister wrapped in the american flag. She's the perfect JW.....a HYPOCRITE! -

Your letter is very well written and you made some excellent points.
Unfortunately, the GB will never see the letter. Even if they did read the letter, they NEVER will change their policies unless it benefits them. I worked with a true 100% narcissist several years back and did quite a bit of research on this personality disorder. The GB and some of the Elders and CO's fit the description of a narcissist to a tee. One of the signs of narcissism is, the person will never admit that they are the one who has the problem nor do they believe that they need to make changes. Note, in all of the JW talks and dramatizations (videos), it is ALWAYS the rank and files fault. Take for example the 1975 debacle. WT did give talks backing up the fact that 1975 would be a game changer. When it did not take place, they blamed the rank and file for the decisions they made. When children are abused and scarred for life, due to child molestation, and the GB shows no remorse, how much lower can you get? If you can do that to people, you can do anything.

New Spiritually Weak Label: Not Using Tablet/iPhone
by Doubtfully Yours inwith last night's meeting it became official: here in the states is a must to keep up with 'jehovah's org' that one fully jumps on board with this tablet/iphone crap.. so, now, all of us that up to this point have refused to follow the wtbts in their electronic/wireless revolution will deal with the browbeating from the 'spiritual' ones.. already receiving lots of grief from hubby and rest of the family/close friends when seen at the meetings with paper publications.
damn it!!!
am i alone in this resistance???!!!.

My spouse used to bring his IPad to the meetings (before it was cool...new light) and get dirty looks from others. Now it's all the rage! WT doesn't want to print anymore (it costs them $$$$). Hopefully, the IPad push from WT will and has had the users logging on to all the glowing positive things about WT, via the internet . If you want to see all the Positive things about WT, just give them a quick Google search. It's not good/positive! Good for us, not so much for WT. Keep up the good work WT, you're digging your own grave.
