let me begin by saying i was raised in a witness household.. now that i am older i like to question things and see where they really come from.
i always found it strange that so many people would blinding think they the society has any real power or knowledge.. first of all the origins are probably evil.
as russel was a 33rd degree mason, and founed skull and bones an evil satanic cult and jehovah's witnesses?
I just want to know the truth about what is going on here....

J/K I know where you are coming from Dark, but I have not seen a current connection to masons/illuminati. If there are, I am entitled to them too.

Welcome to the Darkside Darkside999,
I'll take one:
Who really is pulling the strings in bethal? And what is the REAL agenda.
Theodore Jaracz ... leader of the governing body and thus the Borg.
Real agenda: In their eyes, the preaching work. In our eyes, control, # (hours, publications), and more control.
Hope that helps.

soon (if they haven't already) local congregations of jws will welcome newly disillusioned former members of the bethel family.
the most potentially dangerous have been paid off already (but what do you mean?
weren't we all given severances equally proportionate to our years of devoted service?
Yeah, I am probably dreamin or smokin or sumtin. Would I bet the farm on it? Probably not.
I would like to think I causing considerable damage here in the NY circuit (especially the hall I attend). I am well known in the area, I get asked: "Can you give a talk in our hall?" sorry I stepped down. I am irregular for meetings, never to go the school and service, and comment once every 5 weeks, and I never go out in service and put in fake time.
If you were at my hall, what would you think? A former bethelite and an elder with a great recommendation from his previous hall is doing next to nothing. If he can miss meetings and does not comment a lot why do I have to?
Get my drift?
Different circumstances for each bethelite getting the boot...what % will fade? What % will be dfed?
The overall effect I believe (seriously now, I put the bong down know) ... will depend on x bethelite and how he "behaves" in his assigned hall, the x publisher will more or less see the effect bethel had on this former bethelite and may ask a few questions.
i don't know ... only time will tell.
ok, first off, let me make it clear that i'm no baptized jehovah's witness.
i studied for about 2 1/2 years, and was a publisher for about half the time.
i don't attend meetings, because..well.... i haven't yet summoned enough courage to ask forgiveness for my many wrong-doings.
Have you tried asking your mom? Have her talk to her book study overseer and have her tell him that she needs to make a new one and use that one.
that the wtbts stopped their printing operations and just used the bible .
imagine meetings where the only publication used was the bible?
no watchtower, no kingdom ministry, no song book, no reasoning book, no ministry school book.

Imagine meetings where the only publication used was the Bible? NO Watchtower, NO Kingdom Ministry, NO Song Book, NO Reasoning Book, NO Ministry School Book.
This would make the life of a fader a little easier.
The greatest announcement the WTBTS would make would be "STOP THE PRESSES!"

Will this be any different?
As male bethelite, one feels superior to elders, circuit and district overseers cause we learned directly from the GB... Thus when Bethelites get the shaft and roll into the congregations, they will NOT LISTEN to the locals. I don't. Bethel has always inculcated into the Bethelites that they are the cream of the crop, that many traveling overseers WANT to be Bethelites ... thus they have created monsters.
trust me on this, the appointed time is now, it is here
The congregations will be in upheaval

is the Society simply being unrealistic and optimistic about how this will all work out?
YES!
During this whole time BETHEL is brainwashing the bethelites telling them that Jehovah is directing all these matters, bla bla bla
Brain swashing through SPECIAL TALKS AFTER THE WATCHTOWER STUDY
Brain swashing through the MORNING WORSHIP PROGRAM
Brainwashing through BETHEL FAMILY WATCHTOWER STUDY (of the, how can x paragraph apply to Bethel life)
It's all over folks! You ready to break out of Hotel California?

here's a virtual meeting to show someone what a jw meeting is like without the "love bombing", but all the jehoba this, and jehoba that, prayers, horrible out of tune mono-tone singing?, and a visit from the co giving the dedication talk/prayer... .
the co point's out that a kingdumb hall is only a kingdumb hall if there is a sign out in front stating so... and that if the kingdumb hall was sold it doesn't come with the sign...
(wtf?
ah crap! what a waste of bandwidth.
i stopped going out in service about a year ago.
just couldn't take it anymore.
after that, i still continued "studying" with my kids and "counting the time" for that.
turn in fake ones!!! otherwise you will be on their hit list. that is what i do.
