  Do they keep records of us?

  by gspradling in

  how long do you have to be inactive before they take you off their records?

  i have been out for 30 odd years and have not heard a word from them for many years.

  my mom is still very active (but in a different cong.

  Each congregation keeps a record of all dubs and exdubs that were publishers in that cong. at one time or another. If you are df'd and want to be reinstated in another congregation for example, the current PO of your old cong. will be contacted for your record. If the congregation is close by those elders that were previously on the JC will most likely come over and be part of the reinstatement committee.

  Even if you request your records it doesn't help because all JC's info are sent to the local bethel and then onto Brooklyn. ...this I know for a fact because one of my Family members was df'd here in SA and the cong. she settled in in the USA (she moved there) requested the files. I at one time was the "file keeper"...but being a good JW then didn't read through all the info. From what I've learn't about the Silent Lambs cases since then I wish I had ! Perhaps I could have been a whistleblower !

  Once you've been baptized as a JW its almost impossible to erase the evidence of it. Sorry for the bad news.

  Is It the Size that matters or the Quality?

  by DevonMcBride in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in an effort to motivate and maintain membership, the watchtower society prints statistical information in their publications showing the number of people joining their organization, pioneering, etc.

  does it really matter how many members they have?

  checking statistics here http://www.jwic.com/stat.htm they are growing in poor and underdeveloped countries rapidly and losing or barely growing in wealthier developed countries.. the bottom line to the watchtower is money.

  Shocker

  by exjdub in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i left the org i tried to find websites that revealed some of the things that i have learned recently on this website and others that are referenced here.

  however, i found that it made it worse to read or talk about anything pertaining to jw's in the beginning.

  it took a few years of healing (thank god for dogs, they are the master healers) and working through very strong feelings (which was difficult given that both my wife and i still have family in the org) but i finally came out the other end stronger and more confident.. fast forward to a few days ago when i found this board.

  WELCOME exjdub

  Besides the UN scandal, they use many, many, many quotes from Christendom's literature in their publications. While you're a one of them you easily rationalize it as expert information/food at the proper time..its only once your mind has been cleared that you see in comparison to many "Last Days" cults truly how unoriginal their teachings are and how similar they are to many other cults.

  So besides the "Seven headed beast" being their pal...so is the "whore of babylon".

  You aren't what you eat

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. humour

  for those of you who watch what you eat... here's the final word on nutrition and health.

  it's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies:the japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the british or americans.mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the british or americans.the japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the british or americans.italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the british or americans.germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the british or americans.. conclusion: .

  eat and drink what you like; speaking english is apparently what kills you.

  Dubs and marijuana

  by gumby in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  years ago, drugs were classified as "pharmakia"(greek for druggery).. the watchwer did a good job in convincing others that since the pagans used drugs in their spiritistic practices......then drugs were bad......marijuana included......... they invited demons.

  recently i heard comments from dubs that medical use of marijuana would be permissable since it wouldn't be breaking the law.. the question is......why the change in classification if this is indeed true?.
