  my brother called me today.he is 20 ,3 years younger than me,and out of the religion.he still has fear though that it could be true,but thats another story.. he told me he heard my mother and father talking upstairs.my mother said about the org "ive put 26 years into it,i think i'm done with it,i might just go sunday from now on".this is huge ,because she was a devoted nutjob witness.she made my life horrible for the 1st 17 years of my life.i had been trying to suddly tell her the truth about the troof,but i didn't expect this.i'm happy and yet i want to know where she stands with the borganization.. this along with what seems to be an outpouring of similar stories,i have a gut feeling the jehovahs witness mind control cult is on the brink of implosion.everyone is so burdened by it.the jig is up,gb,good riddance when you fold.the rank and file have had enough.my 2 younger sisters are on the edge of mental freedom.i hope they can fully get free of it.. this is a milestone in my families long and strange trip in mental enslavement!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Wealthy organizations always find a way to replenish lost customers, take a look at the tobacco industry for the last fifty years. So, I don't think the end is nigh for the WTBTS. Remember Holly, she asked all the right questions of someone truly looking for the truth, and got the answers that would make most people think twice about joining this perticular cult, however, she's gone.

  The problem is that they are loosing people in the wealthy contries, and gaining in the 3rd world countries. So how are they going to fund these people?

  Some of these people are making $0.40 an hour wage? What can they give to the machine weekly?

  As an account servant, the society is now charging each congregation a paperwork processing fee!

  So when I send money through WEFTS (Watchtower Electronic Filing Telephone System) I place money in:

  WWW (24:14)

  Kingdom hall fund (build KH in poor areas)

  KHAA (insurance, car ins, car lease for overseers)

  and now processing fee!

  We also collect money to contribute to: CO's expenses (anything, including drycleaning and car washes), Bethellite expenses (gas tolls, etc), and Bethellite speaker expenses (usually around $25)

  don't forget that all literature is now combined for all congregations using the same KH to save on their processing & Shipping and also the literature now holds up like shit!

  JW Underground

  by Hondo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i recently read an article about jw's that, if had the choice, would probably leave because of the deceptions, lies, etc., but don't because of family, friends, prestige, whatever, and instead lead a make-believe life going through the motions of being a loyal and believing follower of the watchtower organization.

  most of those purported to be part of this non-believing/participating, but attending, jw population, are folks that have been associated with the jw's for a number of years, but, as many have, decided that the lies and constant changes (new light) just don't make sense anymore.

  i would suspect that identifying those who just "go through the motions" of being a good jw would be difficult.

  We "underground" Witnesses should come up with a secret sign

  to see if another is of our kind..... Like petting our eyebrows to see if the other

  person does it back to us! This way we will not have to ask obvious question as to

  wether you doubt the WT or not.

  what do you think.... fellas?

  JWs at my door today

  by somebody in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am home today and tomorrow per doctor's orders and i was shocked that of all days, today two jws knocked at my door for the first time in almost 4 years.

  they will be back on saturday morning at 10 o'clock.

  to you all here, both non and ex jws, and to any lurking jws, i ask the question... what is the difference between a servant of jehovah and a disciple of christ, if any at all?

  I found it absurd that some claim that we get info just from the WT publications - when multiple times the WT publications strongly encourage us to read the Bible. It just doesn't make sense to me. And how many people Witnesses I know, who were former members of other churchers and avid Bible readers, claim that they knew the Witnesses had the truth from what they read from the their Bibles.

  They encourage to read the bible verses as they want us to. (Example... to prove a point they read verse z and f and o.... but neglect to read verses a to z (reading a to z would contradict their teachings)).

  it is all double speak and the circle jerk!

  Most hours are fabricated, and un-proovable.... so why buy them when you can just make it up for status!

  Book color is green

  Also the naming inscription is: "possibly trying to stop the book from being sold on ebay or such"?

  that way if the book circulates, they know who it came from?

  In that case, can the apostate owner, just rip off that page and then sell it?

  Baby's "second head" removed -- no moral issues described?

  by AlmostAtheist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in this news article, a baby is described as being born with a second head, referred to as "the parasite".

  as a parent, i would have had a hard time looking at this under-developed conjoined twin as a "parasite".

  it really looks like a second child, though one incapable of independant life.

  I feel for you, and good luck
