  let's say an aunt or uncle dies.

  .

  let's say you barely knew them.. let's say their memorial service was held at the kingdom hall.. let's say if you attend, you have to deal with shunning from family and jws, and you are forced listen to them present their paradise promotional materials, and the dead person's "earthly hope™", and let's face it ... the heeby-jeebies of having to be in a kingdom hall again.. would you put yourself through it?

  No. I will never step foot into another KH! I cringe when I just drive by one.

  i was commenting on another thread about how local kh attendance is down.

  memorial attendance was also way down and the circuit assembly had hundreds less people than what is typical.

  my jw family has even mentioned it.

  "so I'm still aware of the spectacular increase of the "great crowd"

  Yes, we are hearing the same thing from a full in/brainwashed family member. "You should see the increase." Our thoughts when he says it...."yeah right."

  Legends in their OWN minds!!!

  Study Watchtower confirms shunning spiritually weak. How nice!

  it really hurt to hear brothers and sisters commenting about this at the meeting yesterday.. "as in solomon’s case, one of the greatest threats to spirituality is friendship with those who do not understand or respect jehovah’s standards.

  some may be associated with the congregation but may be spiritually weak.

  others could be relatives, neighbors, coworkers, or schoolmates who are not worshippers of jehovah.

  Part of our very own family limits their association with us. They have for years. Even when we still attended. ONLY the most uber of the uber get invited to family events. Oh well, we are very generous gift givers and quite frankly very nice people! Their loss!!!!

  Great topic to bring up StarryNight9. Thank you!!

  We have been out for several years and are really hoping this cult takes a turn for the worse. It has really inflicted a ton of damage on our families over the years. I know there a so many more hoping the same thing!!!

  WT has set up a us versus them attitude and is turning the heat up on this with the rank and file. They are looking more and more cult like everyday.

  My message to them....there's the door don't let it hit ya in the ass!!! We don't want people in our lives who don't want to be there. We only want loving, kind and respectable people in ours. WT is very very worried that those "weak ones" are going to rub off on the rank and file. If that happens, more money will be walking out the door.

  WT Recruiting JW Solicitors (Lawyers)

  we all know how much the watchtower abhors "higher education" and that apparently jehovah thinks it is a big waste of time.

  at least that is their official stance.

  it might come as a shock to you that this month they have started a campaign drive to actually recruit jws who have higher education, specifically those who have legal training.. with all the law suits against them for creating an environment that is friendly to paedophiles, it is thus no wonder that they are in need of solicitors, especially those who are sympathetic towards the cult.. talk about hypocrisy!.

  I guess it goes to show you. When WT or a JW say they would like to "use you" they really mean it.

  It looks like WT has an "urgent need" for legal assistance.

  What we have been told by a close friend. It is only okay for you to attend university if it is used to "advance Kingdom interests." Really?

  These issues are waking up more than you know. Keep up the excellent work WT!!!! It's making it sooooo easy for all of us evil apostates!!!
