  Today's WT Study: "Return to Jehovah" - Lots of Elephants in the Room

  by Room 215 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  today's article prods active jws to participate in the effort to reactivate us backsliders.. unfortunately, it fails to prepare the participants to adequately address the real reasons so many have left and want nothing frtherethan to be left alone: the un and child abuse scandals, prophetic failures; dumbed-down, increasingly specious and simplistic verbiage in literature and talks, the cult of personality and unwarranted veneration of those 8 singularly unremarkable members of the gb, etc., etc..

  Cowardly Change of Policy in the UK

  by Slidin Fast in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the britain branch has called a confidential meeting tonight with a controversial announcement.

  the message is of such import that it was transmitted by word of mouth only, nothing in writing, ears only.

  a decision made by the governing body of jehovah's witnesses and transmitted orally down the chain of command, a decision proving the leadership of this spirit lead body.. the gdpr laws in the uk have been interpreted by wt lawyers so that all record keeping relating to the public has been banned, telephone witnessing and letter writing also, forbidden.. now in a show of supreme bravado the publishers are to be informed that if they wish to, if they dare, they may write to people at their own risk.. bear in mind, nothing is in writing.

  without actual k hall meetings--maybe the elders will be instructed to go to the dubs at home to shake them down for contributions .

  i wonder what the true membership numbers really are for the civilised ? countries--if all these halls are being sold.

  yesterday i had occasion to drive past the hall my ex wife and daughter attend--shanklin isle of Wight UK. i know the place isnt currently used because of the lockdown, but to see the iron gates chained shut and the sign board removed tempted me to think it could go up for sale.

  Another thought...with these zoom online meetings--it could end up a lot of halls being disposed of--and several congs sharing--each having say one meeting a month in hall--the rest online. Here on the I o W, there used to be 5 halls--now down to three--could easily get by with just one.

  The book "New Boy" is Free on Amazon For Down Load the Next 4 Days

  by 1234 in

  2. friends

  a few people have posted that i wrote my book to "make money.

  "yes, i have made some money from this book but nothing to the comparison to the 11 years it took to write it and the cost to produce it.money was the last thing on my mind on my list of motivations/priorities in writing of this book.

  my thought was if i could circumvent the pain and suffering that the watchtower bible & tract society/ jehovah's witnesses has caused to just one person's life than the book has served its purpose.i'm happy to announce the book is free for down load on amazon for the next 5 days.enjoy my friends.keith casaronap.s if after reading it, if you could post a review on amazon i would greatly appreciate it.

  under the radar14 hours ago

  stan livedeath: I am so sorry for the turmoil the WT caused in your family. It's downright shameful how people will allow religious leaders to dictate how they must treat relatives who dare to want to leave the JWs. I would be mortally embarrassed for anyone to know I'd never met my grandchildren or spoken to my adult children for years. Especially over something so stupid and ridiculous as a difference in religious beliefs.

  i'm open about it--most of my friends and non-jw family know the score. And my d/f son's extended family know about his.

  He has 2 teenage kids from his first JW wife--i met them once--13 years ago. They didnt know who i was. He has pretty well lost contact with them now--after spending over 40 grand over the years in legal fees trying to keep contact with them
