i dont think it can continue in its present form or strength. us older generation are fast dying off--and the young ones are far too internet savvy so to swallow much cult crap as they grow up.

What if we could bring down the WBTS?

by derangedjdub in

what would be your plan or ideal reason the walls came crashing down?

stan livedeath

no need to try to bring down the cult--they are doing it themselves.

i'm quite new to this site, & have realised some members have a union jack symbol under their avatar.

i don't.. could we have a "show of hands" from any uk members?

i've already found several by reading older posts..

Seeking support during confusing and stressful 'cognitive dissonance'

by LHS123 in

sorry for the long post but i need help.

ive been a jw for 20 years - still active and attending meetings, baptised at 18, i have recently become very dissillusioned.

a few reasons: ill treatment of my kids by a prominent 'assembly speaker' elder, then my son left the truth at 15 (not baptised) and was 'dropped' instantly, despite this community having been his whole life for 15 years.

Conspiracy Theory ?

by Phizzy in

we are all aware here that the wt/jw org is trying its hardest to wriggle out of paying rightful compensation in the form of damages to victims of abuse who bring a claim.. they must be worried about future claims too, not just from decades ago, but from the present, as they have not made any effort as yet to truly protect the vulnerable.. here is my question :.

as they now direct the congregations through the organization known as "the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses" and as in each country this organization is headed and run by a few mendicants with no assets, do you think in future the big jw/wt corporations will deny all responsibility for abuse, by saying the very poor "christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses", which owns no property/real estate and has no cash or other assets, is alone responsible ????

hence no pay out ?.

so--the watchtower is merely a non-profit making business that prints magazines and books. -- which it then gives--free--to various autonomous groups--called congregations--in many countries around the globe.

the volunteer members of these congregations then freely distribute these publications to the public. any donations--both from the public--and the volunteers ----in excess of any operating overheads---are then handed over to the watchtower to help cover their costs.

neat--so any misdemeanours by individual members of these congregations are nothing to do with the printing business. got it.
