  Do you ever DEFEND Witnesses?

  by GetBusyLiving in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know i come on here a lot and laugh at the crazy stuff i used to believe.. it's a terrific place to vent my frustration at the org.

  and share experiences with people who understand.

  but i find that when some people trash talk witnesses who were never part of it i end up sort of defending them usually.

  Who else is not going to the memorial for the first time this year?

  by Pole in

  well, it's going to be the first memorial i'll miss out on.

  no big deal, but i guess it has to be considered one of the final stages of "apostasy" :-).

  i remember i used to see some df-ed people at memorials.

  Branch Split in the Watchtower Kingdom

  by slimboyfat in

  before you read anything, you should be aware that i do not know what i am talking about.

  it seems clear now that the watchtower religion has already started to decline, in the western world at least.

  how will this decline play out in the future - this is one of the most interesting questions relating to the watchtower at the moment: will the witnesses enjoy a slow leisurely decline over many decades, or can we expect a major split and disintegration in the near future?

  The Social Structure in the Congregation

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ever notice how the "happiest people on earth" are also the most class-oriented?

  to say that jesus said his followers should all be on equal footing, it's incredible how much the r&f witness is not on equal footing.

  the social structure in the congregation is more complex than the blueprints of a nuclear warhead, but just so that you "remember your place", see if you can find where your niche was/is:

  Article Allegedly Makes End of the World Predictions re 2034

  by rebel8 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i saw someone post about a march 2005 wts publication making thinly veiled threats predictions about 'the end' coming in 2034. now i can't find the thread.

  i had heard some talk about this previously, but then was told it was a hoax....wts supposedly had not said anything about it.

  then i heard this week a publication just came out that does say it.
