If the family lost the case and it cost them all they had financially defending their Watchtower based beliefs no doubt the Watchtower would come to their rescue and get them back on their feet. Yeah right. The Watchtower would reward their loyalty by letting them go down just like that poor man's wife. It is really sad that these misguided people will die or let others die for an organization that couldn't give a you know what about them.

I went back and read the that post and the related ones wearewatchingyou. OMG How confusing is that. I think you could asked 6 jws about this subject and get 6 different answers. If he didn't come back in 1914 and select them in 1919 then all those years they have been peddling a lie. What has been the point of it all.
If you were a devoted JW wouldn't you be a little upset over all the years you've spent proclaim a false message. Wouldn't you feel like asking the Watchtower: What is the point of me spending my life proclaiming this sh#t as the truth if your just going to change it? Shouldn't you wait till you're sure you've got something right before you ask people go out and to spread your message around? And shouldn't we wait till we if God selects you before we put all a eggs in one basket and follow you?
To me it seems like they just canceled their own authority with this change.

Happy New Year Punk. This is the first time I've been here in a while also. I never formally leave I just don't show up. Kind of like a fading JW.

If he didn't return in 1914 then he wasn't around to pick them. That could be a problem for them.

I don't think they are interested. Once people are indoctinated (brainwashed) they just go along doing whatever the Watchtower tells them to do no matter how bored and miserable it makes them.

Dubbies stopped by
by rebel8 inwell just like everyone else, we were visited by 2 old ladies.
mr. rebel8 was home and it went something like, "we're on a worldwide mission and we wanted to know if we could just leave this in your door.
" so he said ok and took it (because he knew i'd have fun with it later).. the tract reads like a note i passed to a boy in 1st grade:.

Gorby's father collapses at home after new light watchtower study
by Gorbatchov infriends,.
sunday my father, a strong believing witness, former elder and still a ms, collapses at home after the new light watchtower study.. the cause was extreme stress.
i asked him about his worries.

I think a lot of witnesses are feeling a lot of stress these days trying to force themselves to believe they have the "truth". They just can't seem to admit to themselves that they have been wrong. And they fear what would happen to them if they did.

What proof do we have? How did we pass the inspection in 1919?
by Quarterback inwith the new light, the governing body apparently passed the master's inspection due to our focus on preaching the kingdom at that time.
we were the only ones doing this according to the july wt re all those changes.. but, were we really doing this in 1918?
i thought it was only the colporteurs.

There is no evidence whatsoever that there was a test given by Jesus in 1919 and they were the only ones that passed it. It is easy to ace a fantacy test that you made up. Unfortunately a good Jehovah's Witness never questions anything they say. They just accept it as truth.

My August Update
by OnTheWayOut ini don't really have a purpose in this thread, but wanted to share my thoughts and updates.. fading has, at least for now, totally stabilized.
my jw wife doesn't discuss jw things and, as difficult for me as it is, i haven't been discussing anything directly against jw policy.
oh, i slip in comments when she tries to judge people or groups based on her jw training- things like gay marriage, medical marijuana, pedophile news stories.

I think your doing the best you can in your situation. I gave up arguing JW issues years ago with my wife but like you I slip things in once and a while. I wonder if you find it as hard as I do to figure out why they seem to allow certain non jw things in their lives while seemingly holding firm to other things. I once got my wife to go to some lesbian friends house warming when I convinced her it would be like any other house warming not an orgy. She had a good time there. Like your aunts birthday party its hard to ask them why will they do this but not that without causing them to get defensive and maybe erasing any progress.
I find your comment about Mexican JWs in service interesting. That is who I mostly see out in service in my area. Maybe they take it more serious than the English speaking congregation. I do however notice that they do look just as miserable as any other group of JW out doing the work of the Watchtower.
