there is no doubt in my mind that the glory days of jehovah's witnesses are over.
from my knowledge and experience with wt history, i would define the glory days as the decades of the 1950's, 1960's and early 1970's.
with knorr's great expansionary vision and discipline, dubs in the 1950's became a "somebody" in the 1950's.
I agree wholeheartedly with everything you posted Farkel but especially : "Their good and honest members are quitting in droves leaving only not-so-good and not-so-honest people in their ranks."
Any opinion on what you expect to see in the next few years?
Thanks Farkel

i just wanted to say that i'm having a blast reading all the posts.
i stumbled upon this site because i was curious to see what the jehovah's witnesses have to say about september 11th and instead i've been laughing at the top ten's and such.
i was priveleged?
WELCOME ! doorboy00,
one thing that the witnesses promote is how they are different from the rest of the world.
in your personal experience , did you find that you could trust a witness more than you could a non-jw?
Hi Dia,
Great post. You just reminded me of another category JWs are famous for within their ranks, you said tattletale, I categorically say RAT FINKS.

i am quite sad and confused...
how important is it to be truthful and completely truthful about ones past in a relationship?
is it unusual for one to be severely hurt after discovering that a mate has not said everything about a past relationship even thouhg they calim to have?
Welcome Hurt
today, i downloaded a poster from silentlambs.org, and i will have it transfered to vinyl to be attractively and prominantly placed on my service van.
the poster will be big, bold and easy to read.
everywhere the van goes, people in traffic will be able to see it.

i've heard different "apostates" say that witnesses are so brainwashed that they would kill, if ordered by the faithful slave.
do you believe this?

I think you would be hard pressed to find a single JW that thinks they will be helping Jah, JC and the angels out at Armageddon.
Were you drunk when you typed that?
i have been reading posts here for several months, which has helped me to keep from going insane.
my doubts came when i finally got the nerve to leave a bad marriage, why did i stay so long.
because i was ashamed and really scared of what "jehovah" would think of me.
Welcome Livingagain!

last night, i returned from the chess club with my son to find my wife on the phone.
apparently the congregation secretary had phoned to get our time.
not wanting to disappoint him, she put us both down for two hours.. now, none of us have stepped foot in a kingdom hall since april 10, and we haven't been out in service since march/01.
I'll be waving, I'll be the one with the clown suit on.
