Hey Evil, whats wrong with my face yo?
GBL (of the not not gay but always fishing for a compliment class )
it's been roughly ten years since the change in the understanding of the generation was printed in a november watchtower.. while i won't discuss here what everyone already knows about this change, and the effects it had on many people, questions have to be asked.. what happens next for the watchtower society?
where is the leadership?.
in what direction are they headed?.

Whatever they end up doing - I'm just glad I'm out of the bullshit. Even if they mainstream it towards actual Christianity how could they ever begin to try to justify disfellowshipping people for disagreeing with the obvious lies of the past?
I could never patronize the one true God as being such a moron to expect people to be a part of that piece of crap organization or be destroyed.

what do you think the new releases will be at the dc?.
a brochure or two?
a recycled publication with a new title and look?.
I love the Revelation Climax book sooo much. Its the funniest bunch of cult shit I've ever seen. What do you think they would change if they revamped it?

i really hated "special" programs and events such as a visiting bethelite giving an extra 1 hour talk after the wt.
study.
everyone was expected to stay.
The meetings were an excercise in the pain of being subjected to mind numbing boredom. I spent my time watching other people and quietly making fun of comments from the speakers.

since the jw religion is sooooo restrictive, it is good to think about just how wacky this cult is.....for example, you can get counseled for buying a 2 door car as opposed to a "pioneer" car (4 door).
I got counseled plenty for having a two door car. It wasn't a good 'service mobile'.

i came across this site, and while still my upbringing says i should stay away from such site, i had to join.
a bit of a background about me.
i'm 31, my parents became witnesses when i was born so they could give me the best upbringing they felt possible.
Welcome to the board Min, its nice to have you here.

what's been your experiences and would you go to one if they were in your area?
if you don't have any official gatherings for ex-jw's then what have you and your ex-jw friends done for fun?
hopefully curiousity doesn't kill this cat.
That Vegas trip is going to be insane. I am sooo going.

:Lets face it, as a whole these days, theres really not one other religion thats persicuted globally likehe JW's.
This type of statement is used by many dubs as 'proof' that they have 'the truth'. This is no kind of proof in any shape or form. This type of 'proof' allows the governing body to lie and misrepresent sources and then pass off opposition as persecution from 'the world'. These sorts of beliefs are the result of high control group conditioning and twisted logic.

Hey bro, welcome to JWD. Umm.. I think you may be surprised when you find out the truth about 'the truth'. For your girlfriends sake and your own.. start researching dude. If I were you I would start with Crisis of Conscience by Ray Franz. Heres a link where you can buy it. Good luck.

hello all, i've been reading your site for a couple of years now, and have found, for the most part, it to be very helpful.
i must say, at first i was very "scared" at what i might find, but contrary to what i grew up learning, there is a "wealth" of information outside of the watchtower organization.
i haven't attended meetings for about two years now, and like many i've read about, have spent many hours researching, telling myself "i'm not wrong for searching", and doing more research.
Marjorie this guy bangs around on this site with the only purpose of disuading lurking witnesses who have doubts from finding out the truth about the 'truth'. If there was even an ounce of honesty or even sincerity with this guy he wouldnt be getting the hard time he does.. there have been plenty of witnesses with doubts who come on here and get treated very kind and with patience. I've been following these posts for months now.. this guy is a liar and he knows it.
Not to sound at all condecending considering your intimdating knowledge of what you talk about but when you've been a part of all those lies, when you've been a Witness and you've waded in the hypocracy.. we know what he's up to and we take it personally.
