How do you find reddit
by joe134cd injust curious but how do the people off this forum find reddit.
for myself i find reddit to be sadly lacking in the jw world.
i just don't find the depth there e.g one sentence replies, trying to be funny.

wake me up--re John Cedars
he was very active on here a very few years back--and a prolific poster. he had his supporters--and opposers.
he was also involved in setting up an over-night facebook group for xj's---and over 1000 members were added without their consent or approval. including me. many of these members were in fact " outed" by putting their real names on an open xj site. there was fury and uproar --on here--about it. i really have no idea--or interest--in whether its still going.
cedars had a head on collision with the site owner here--so is no longer a member.

Over 300 DFed apparently went to a northern U.K R.C!
by Isambard Crater inthat's what i've been told by a family member (elder) who went to one of the regional conventions in the north of the u.k lately, who told me the 300 or more disfellowshipped who returned to jehovah by attending show that the end is so close, just like the final talk says..

Where do Jehovah´s Witnesses Live?
by ILoveTTATT2 inthese are the worldwide percentages of jehovah´s witnesses and where they live.
a whopping 50% live in the americas, and a whopping 35% live in the us, or mexico, or brazil.
(the percentages shown on the right pie graph are of the worldwide total, so if it says 15% for the us it means that 15% of all jw´s worldwide live in the us, not 15% of the ones that live in the americas).what do you think of this graph?.

i think a lot who get d/f are glad to wipe the slate clean. gives them a break for a year or so--then back in with no responsibilities for a while. like buying a pardon. so they never really left the cult--just doing their time for their crime.

how do you have half a bible study ? what do you do with the rest of the time ?

Born Ins, How Did Your Parents Get "The Truth™"?
by pale.emperor inborn ins are in a unique position in that we never knew any other way of life.
no birthdays, christmas and overly superstitious family just seemed normal.
when my parents talked about their pre-jw life it seemed like they were talking about completely different people (actually, that's true, the cult had taken their real selves).. so i'd be interested in hearing how your parents were indoctrinated.. my dad.

my first wife was a born in--in 1949. her mother was also a born in !---about 1920. so--thats 3 generations--so far.
my parents converted in about 1957--i was 9. mom had given birth to a badly deformed baby girl a couple of years before. she got religion. dad was a lot more cautious--and studied for a few years. i was given that awful pink paradise book. dad and i got dipped together at a circuit assembly when i was 14. fast forward a few years.
so--met my wife to be when i was 17--she sweet 16. married at 20--first baby girl at 23---so thats generation 4.
fast forward the next 46 years. my little girl is hardly little any more--the last time i saw her. she has 4 girls of her own now--so they are generation 5.
ive never met those 4--the oldest is in her early 20's.
about time for generation 6 ?

Is it alright for a Disfellowshipped Jehovah's Witness to Date?
by preacherman init is said that a dfed is handed over to satan and left alone in his or her gross unrepentant conduct.
however, you'll agree with me that not all dfeds are living that way.
the truth is that some have actually repented and stopped their bad conducts but have fallen victim to the legalistic and procedural expediences of the wbts which makes it very difficult for some to come back in the shortest period of time.
