many members on here have been shunned.
we know whats its like--and the effect it has had on our lives.
but what about those of us who practiced shunning before--when we were members of the watchtower cult ?.

how did it make you feel ? bad ? good ? superior ? more " spiritual"?
do you think it did any good ? did the shunned person return to the cult as a result ?
or did it drive them further away--or permanently ?
do you really think it serves any positive purpose ?

Are We all Witnesses Here?
of what ? not me--i never saw a thing.
ok so im new here~ hey-yo!.
i found this site cause i've been looking around at experiences of people leaving 'the truth' as i've been wanting to leave for some time now.
it's interesting as y'know i'd never seen it from the other side as its apostate literature and all that jazz lol.
hi--welcome to the site.
i da'd at 23--but that was a lifetime ago.
we have had several young first timers on here in the last few days.
l have researched this subject and come to the conclusion that no we didn't.what do others think?.
man did go to the moon--but it was closed
my sister sent me this youtube.
in it are witnesses waving their phone lights and dancing in the aisles.
sorry if this vid has been posted before.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k7iw-zisgw.
well--if thats where the watchtower growth is coming from---its fine with me. hallelujah !
i dont think the cult will die off--not with members like that...
...but i could well imagine a break away faction of the more intelligent--higher earners--wanting to distance themselves from that holy roller type of cult freakery.

drummer out of The Shadows who became a JW 'jazzed' up some of the songs, t
the only drummers i recall in The Shadows line up--wereTony Meehan and then Brian Bennett. i dont think either of them became dubs. i could be wrong of course.
Brian (liquorice ) Locking was one--and of course --Hank ( also a Brian ) Marvin. both were guitarists.
for those who have no idea who we are talking about--the Shadows were Cliff Richards' backing group originally.

anyone on here an ex accounts servant?
i’d be interested in a projection of what percentage of contributions come from elderly jw’s.
i.e, money that will be diminishing over next 5 or 10 years as these ones pass on.. i estimate that in one of my previous congs 50% of the contribution totals of approximately £400 each month were being made by the over 70’s demographic.. within the other 50% were pioneers and low paid workers who put in regular but small amounts.. i guess when the accountants ring the alarm bells you start cutting the biggest costs; full time servants, buildings, printed literature.
my late father donated £100 a month --until 5 years ago when he went into a care home---and i took over all his financial affairs.; you can guess what happened next.
after being around for a few years reading, then posting - i've realized the usefulness of trolls.
for 1. they expose what type of person they are.. 2. trolls are very good once you roast them.
many are not able to march up to the wt and give them a piece of our mind.
the recent cigar smoking jw troll was most likely a member already on here who created a fake a/c to post crap and stir the pot--which he / she did very successfuly. i'm only disappointed he/she didnt wish us all a merry christmas.
ok--hands up--who was it?
