I think the point everyone is trying to get across is. It is ridiculous to tell your children not to smoke cigarettes, while you smoke a pack or two a day (in front of your kids). Not only do your children not take you seriously but they have lost respect for you as well. The GB are loosing the respect of the rank and file. Like the saying goes, "do as I say not as I do." HYPOCRITES!

The amusing thing about it is, WT has no shame in being labeled a HYPOCRITE. If you research narcissist(s) you will see amazing similarities. A narcissist will never look at themselves as the problem and will never apologize for anything. NEVER!

I am surprised he said that. Like you, we are where we are today, because of our research of this cult. Hopefully, the younger ones will do just as he said and do that research. The rest just accept if for what it is and bob their heads up in down in agreement.
All the young ones have to do is observe the WT to see what it really consists of. HYPOCRISY! If 2 old people like my spouse and I can see it, certainly the younger generation can see it.

Our teenager is a smart kid. Been showing him/her the anti education crap. He/she can't believe it! I asked a question. Where else in your life does anyone tell you that learning and more education is wrong? The answer I received was...."no where else but when we were JW's." It is just not normal to tell someone that learning and exploring and bettering yourself if wrong.
706,523 views is incredible. Thank you Gayle for posting that. Good news!

Could Joel Osteen Bring the JWs Out of Their Doldrums?
by TMS inrussell had some charisma, as did the alcoholic womanizer, j.f.
rutherford.
n.h. knorr, not so much.

Joel Osteen is a motivational speaker. He tells people what they want to hear. He is a wonderful speaker and knows how to work an audience. He's a charmer. This is what people want to hear. "We love everyone." I don't know the man, he could be the nicest person in the world. Religion is a business and a place to socialize. It is selling salvation and working well for Joel and his counterparts. WT does not know how to run a business like Joel, the rank and file are not being built up but torn down.
I hate religion. I will NEVER be a part of any religion ever again. NEVER. It is a business, nothing else. I , personally choose not to participate. That's just me. Some choose to play the stock market, some don't. That's the beautiful thing about the freedom to choose.Hey...if you can run a business like that, go for it. Who says money can't buy you happiness. lol

spiritual
by stan livedeath ini read the word "spiritual" sometimes on the site.
what exactly do the jw's mean by it ?.

Spiritual equals visual tasks a JW performs. Meeting attendance, service, pioneering, Bethel service, need greaters, reaching out, etc. If you are a "spiritual" person you are successfully doing the tasks they put before you.

The Elders want to meet with me and the hubby... Lol lol lol
by Sevan inso the elders called wanting to meet with me and my husband.
most likely because i told a concerned jw friend of mine that i really care about that i wasn't coming back and a couple of the issues i had.
i didn't bring up any so-called "apostate" information, just told her about the australian royal commission and that there are a lot of unscriptural teachings and that the gb apply scriptures that are about jehovah and jesus to themselves, which is idolatry.

Good advice above. These guys (Elders) have NEVER done anything for you. You owe them NOTHING. Don't play their game.

Brother & Sister-in-Law Return to Kingdom Hall After Two Decades, Quickly Get Stumbled
by TMS init was a mild surprise, learning that a brother and sister-in-law had began re-associating with jehovah's witnesses after at least 25 years of being away.
the couple, of hispanic ethnicity, are in their early 60's, with their five children all grown and independent.
the family had been considered nominal jws, infrequently attending meetings, rarely in field service, but using the annual convention as their family vacation.

Reading this really makes me more and more thankful for all of the nice weekends we have spent doing what WE want to do. I remember going in Field Serve us and looking forward to the 2 hours being over with ( I hated service with a passion...like everyone). Then...the conductor said we had the KH cleaning. OH GOD...will the day ever end? lol Oh, how I miss those days....NOT.
