Oh yes!!! I think it IS backfiring on WT. Look at all of the news reports about not only the child abuse issues but how people have been treated. Some ex rank and file members are PISSED. There are the ones doing the YouTube videos and cart crashing. People are NOT taking it anymore! I believe WT is VERY worried, as it should be. It's comin for ya WT!!! Karma is a bitch!!!

14Will The Governing Body's Shunning Policy Backfire On Them Eventually?
by Brokeback Watchtower inwe all can agree that the disfellowshipping arrangement benefits the wt corporation by keeping the indoctrinated in servitude, make members afraid to doubt the corporation's teachings and explanations because they can be disfellowshipped for saying anything negative about the corporation or it's ceos or not agreeing with some new light.. but what about negative effects caused by the harsh use of disfellowshipping to the corporation, what could they be?
it's a two edged sword..

Anybody remember the Little Rascal show (I'm giving my age away)? If you do, you will remember the He Man, Woman haters club. lol Maybe that is what the ring is, he is part of the He Man Woman Haters Club. My spouse and I joke about that all the time. lol

If anything, WT sure knows how to spin things to make it look like, "rich blessings from Jehovah."
If most rank and file members were told that the "kool aid will refresh you and bring blessings from Jah", they would drink it up in record time.
This is what cults do best!!!

You won't believe this ... Jehovah's rich blessing has befallen me !!!
by dubstepped inmy dad died a couple years back (not how you thought this would start, i know).
he was an elder, and a very emotionally abusive father, well before the point where he ever shunned me.
he died pretty much penniless, and never would buy life insurance or anything.

Disfellowshiped- reinstated- damaged
by Damaged indon’t know how i ended up here but no one who understands will listen, or any one who will listen doesn’t understand.
i grew up in the “truth”, i was baptised at 17 as it was encouraged by the elders.
i really didn’t understand what i was getting into.

Welcome Damaged.
How do you start re building your life? First off, stay away from WT. They are the last source you need to rely on.
You have had a lot going on in your life. Like cofty said, what makes YOU happy? Is it education, your career, traveling? Do the things that you enjoy. Make good financial and life decisions.
I think every time you made a choice in life that you were taught was wrong, you went running to the Elders. This is what we are taught to do. We had a friend that went to the Elders with some confessions. He thought that the Elders were going to help him (you know..."grease your head with oil"). Instead, he got DF'd . How the hell is shunning someone going to help that person?
I guess the best advise is find what makes you happy in life and go for it.
We were always taught that if you leave Jehovah (aka, the organization), you will be miserable. We have been out for over 5 years. BEST DECISION WE EVER MADE!! So happy without the hypocritical, judgmental and arrogant JW's.
Keep us posted on your progress.
