"What is the spin that the organization is using to justify this downsizing? "
A family member (uber dub) told us it is "to make better use of donated funds."
My question (just thoughts to myself): "Well, what has Watchtower been doing with our funds for over 140 years? Why do they need to make better use of funds? Have they been mishandling the JW's hard earned money?"
When you shine a light on cockroaches or rodents, they will scurry and hide. Same thing here. If you shine a light on all that is wrong, the critter (WT) will run and hide. They will gather as much money as they can, sell off all the kingdumb Halls and go online. Their example of hunkering down in attics and basements goes completely against what we were raised with back in the day. "Boldness and standing erect because your deliverance is near." Really Watchtower? You all are now telling members to hide. Just like those critters who can't stand the light shining on them!!!
Watchtower is scared and nervous. They are getting exactly what they deserve.
HOW DOES IT FEEL WATCHTOWER, TO BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE JUDICIAL TABLE?
Karma is a bitch.

I got shunned today

she looked at me and said, 'i'm sorry i cannot talk to you.

I'm sorry this happened to you.
These people are misguided and quite frankly very cruel. They will only associate with their own (other JW's) and that is even questionable . As disturbing as this was to you, keep focused that you are no longer part of the cruel and abusive cult. Not only will they not get any of your time but will also not receive any of your hard earned money.
WT is getting a bad reputation with the child sexual abuse cases that are piling up. I think they are starting to get very well known for their cruel shunning. Who the hell is going to want to become a JW. Just Google Jehovah's witnesses and you will see the wonderful reputation they now have.
You are free and they are still captive! Enjoy your freedom!

We have VERY nice kids. They are adults now but have turned out fine. We are proud of them. They were nice kids in the congregation.
I found out that an Elder in the congregation used to invite all the kids to his home and they would have a WT study and work on this big Noah's ark model. Guess who's kids were never invited over? Ours. That Elder missed out on two great kids. The JW's pick and choose who they want in their little circle. We can do the same and we have chosen, over the past 6 years, not to include any of these nutters in our little circle. BEST LIFE EVER!!

"on some level, they don't want "lukewarm" folks around.
So true vidiot!
Remember the word WT uses, "exemplary." If you are not "exemplary", they won't invite you to their reindeer games. My response, "you can shove your reindeer games where the sun don't shine."

Yes, if you don't follow all the WT/JW rules and tick all the boxes, you are not invited to their little events. At least she actually said it out loud. I would tell that what you said right there is why I no longer attend and why I no longer want to be a part of "Jah's loving organization." And they wonder why there Kingdom Halls are emptying and they are selling them off.

My interview on BBC threw JWs in shock
by Alex Bogdanov ini had an interview on bbc one.
before i write about it and the jws, just a quick reminder.

Yes, we have JW family just waiting and watching to see us fall our faces. Can't ya just feel the love?
Good for you! Keep giving those interviews and keep exposing WT for what it is. It will take JW's realizing that they wasted their lives slaving for a real estate company that has grown very wealthy off the backs of the poor JW's who have broken their backs and opened their wallets, so WT can get rich. Then, when these one's hit retirement age, they realize they are broke and WT is not there for them.

My wife and I have begun our fade
by James Jack ini haven’t posted in awhile.
my wife asked me after the year 2000 came and went without fanfare(because the wt organization said all the “new world” would be here within this 20th century would end), “ what would it take for you to leave the truth?”.
my reply was “ if i turn 60 in this “system of things”.

"My Son, Mother, Step Father, Brother & Sister have also stopped going and I have formed new friendships"
Fantastic! You are still young. Enjoy life and freedom and love those who truly love you! The rest are not worth your time. Great news!
You will be amazed at how much time you truly have without doing all the JW "tasks."
We left in our late 40's. Took our kids with us. BEST LIFE EVER!!!
