26gb, PLEASE, PLEASE UP THE ORGANIZATIONAL HARSHNESS IN 2018
by steve2 insometimes i have expressed a longing for jw organization to tone down its rhetoric and become, well, nicer and more loving.
i have not been alone in my hope.
some posters have even said that if a wave of kindness washed over jw organization and, say, the shunning doctrine was modified (e.g., left up to the individual's conscience without fear of retribution from elders), they'd go back.

Oh....the tight pants talk! That was the final nail in the coffin for us. My spouse (never a MS and well pass the age of 23) was infuriated with that talk. We were beginning our fade and listening to that talk was incredible. I have heard more people left due to that talk. So many other encouraging things could have been discussed.
Thanks Tony!!!

Whole families leaving the Org has increased
by pomo6780 ini have noticed in the uk a few families i used to know while in the borg have exited together.
some include former elders and ministerial servants.
i observed on social media pages that the kids have 'worldly' boyfriends and girlfriends and they look so much happier than they did in the org.

Yes...this WHOLE family left. Yes...we were stumbled. Watching the blatant hypocrisy, judgement and just plain down right abuse this organization lays on it's members is just staggering. Life is good! We hope to hear of more entire families leaving in the near future!

12,666 in attendance. Ironic? 666? lol
From our observation, a lot of the Dubbies are spending their time traveling and not a assemblies. Several that we have been in touch with are going on cruises, Hawaii & world travel. They are not seeing any end in sight and have watched all of their elder relatives give up any kind of life for an end with fruit and Pandas, The next generation won't make the same mistake. Life....here we come!!!!

Another congregation bites the dust
by NikL inwent to the meeting last night with my believing wife.
the co was visiting and delivered a really cult-ish talk on loyalty but that's another story.. they made the announcement that starting january 1st they were going to have only 3 congregations in this town instead of 4.. they are dissolving one and growing the territories of the remaining 3. the reason given is that many of the elders are getting up there in age and can't do what they used to do.
basically not enough elders and ministerial servants...or even men reaching out for that matter.

Yes...people are leaving. The ole domino effect. Telling the rank and file not to look at the internet is like telling the Elders not to look a porn. lol
Watchtower is squeezing "bums" in the seats so it doesn't seem apparent to the rank and file what is going on. A shell game WT has played for years. People are not stupid.
The interesting thing is, we told two family members that we no longer attend. They didn't even ask why. I found this perplexing. My spouse said...."they already know why, they are seeing it in their own congregations. The lack of love, hypocrisy and judgement from the JW's is right in front of everyone's faces."

Attendents sit at the best seats
by Quarterback inwell it's been awhile since i got angry and wanted to post on here again.
last week's watchtower about the subject of love had something to say about the hard working attendants.
it seems that they are choosing to sit in the best seats at the convention.

More micro managing. Watchtower wonders why no one wants to reach out and "do more."

"The bent of the discussion from the platform was that brothers who are not reaching out to be elders and ms are showing lack of faith and are apostate leaning.."
The beatings will continue until morale improves. Gee....I wonder why so many are exiting. We left...who the heck wants to stay where they are not wanted?

You may PRETEND to care - in reality you are SELFISH!
by wannabefree inthat;s what my wife (and all jw's) gets to hear about us at the kingdom hall today, (hmmmm, i wonder if she'll raise her hand to answer this one) ... .
watchtower study ... today, apostates and others who create divisions in the congregation use “smooth talk and flattering speech.” (romans 16:17, 18) they may pretend to care about others, but in reality, they are selfish.. (the watchtower - study edition (simplified version) 10/17 page 4 paragraph 7).

My spouse and I take what WT writes with a grain of salt. Our life and overall attitude has improved immensely since exiting the cult. What does that tell you?
Yes...we lost "friends" but not the kind of friends we want. The family that no longer speaks to us or has limited association. Well....that is their loss! We are a very nice and loving family and we will not change in that department.
WT is VERY worried about the amount of people that are exiting and figuring out that this is not "Jehovah's loving organization." Karma is coming to bite WT. I have a feeling there are some rocky days coming for WT. It's always a pleasure to watch a narcissist squirm and sweat. Grab your popcorn and enjoy the show everyone!!!

Mid-Week Circuis Serpent's "Talk"
by FedUpJW inso i suffered through another one of these idiotic "encouraging" talks by tony vives.. he prattled on about loyalty, and pretty well concentrated on three areas.
loyalty to ones marriage mate, which is no problem.
if one is married they really do owe loyalty to their husband or wife.. second, he hammered on "loyalty" by having nothing to do with a df'd family member, even a child!

Sorry ya had to sit through that. Ugh!
"He flapped his gums about how there are too many "grey-haired" menstrual serpents, and not nearly enough elders."
So what should that tell us? NO ONE wants to be an Elder. The legal ramifications of being an Elder are tremendous and I think the younger Brothers know this. They also know if the Elders are sued, Watchtower will be no where to be seen. The cash and "love" only flow one way.
