Jehovah's Witnesses and the Great Crowd

by Meshech in

as jesus christ was preparing to go to his death, he encouraged his disciples with these words:.

"in my father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, i would have told you.

i go to prepare a place for you.

Do elders still ask inactive members to write a letter to disassociating yourself from the Congregation?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

do today's elders ever meet with inactive members and pressure them to write a letter disassociating themselves from the congregation stating that, ''you no longer wish to a jehovah witness"?.

i was baptized at the young age of 16. after turning 18, i stopped attending meetings, field service, and all jehovah's witness activities.

i wanted to be with my high school friends, go to rock concerts, have a girlfriend, and live like a normal teen.

i bet the members of the governing body laugh their heads off when they read threads like this.

like a bunch of squabbling girls.

i was driving along through a quiet neighborhood on a saturday morning ( yesterday )and , looky-looky, two dubs.i recognized one of them, complete asshole, exbethelite, can i say his name?it's not important.i rolled up, downed the window and "hey!

"they spun around and i continued, "what are you going to do about all those pedophile lawsuits all over the world?

the two witness rule is wrong and so are you!

i can fully understand kairos's anger at the jw's..his marriage has been ruined and whole life has been turned upside down.

first mother...a friend of mine--in her 60's.

her son--is 42. he is less than useless. his last long term relationship ended 3 years ago when his wife to be called off the wedding and kicked him out of her house. he went back to live with his mummy--rent free. he cant hold a job for more than a few days. he has a crack cocaine habit. he has bled his mother dry scrounging money to feed his habit. she wont refuse him because he has told her he owes money to his dealers and will end up face down if he doesnt pay up. what else can she do ?

second mother--is my first wife--also in her 60's.

our son is also 42. he and his second wife have a successful business and a quality lifestyle. a lovely son--now 3 yrs 6 months---a very nice house with land in the New Forest UK...and just got back from yet another holiday--Barbados

his mother must be very proud of him.

err--no. She shuns him--has nothing to do with him--why ? because he decided her religion wasnt for him and got disfellowshipped. he hasnt looked back.

i am very proud of him--and will be with them at christmas.

Is there a surge in "Upwakers"?

by Phizzy in

the stupid word in the topic title is a piss-take on the bloody silly jw word "needgreaters" that i have seen them use.. but my question is genuine, i know it is a cyclical thing, we get what seems to be a lot of newbies, and then things quieten down, but not just on here, elsewhere on social media i am seeing stories of people finding the courage to leave, having woken up for a variety of reasons, but usually the child abuse scandal, and the spiteful, judgmental nature of many jw's, who, though supposedly friends, will run off to the elders to snitch on you, not talk to you.

is their a real increase in those leaving ?

i do hope so, so many more finding real freedom and happiness !.

i doubt if the child abuse scandal affects most dubs--after all--its only apostate lies.

but the loss of their own kingdom hall--which they saved up for and have been paying for years--now that will hit hard.
