he went on to say that the elders and pioneers are so busy, they have to "get their time in the field service", no time left to check on the the older ones.

Just seeing your threads. Welcome. I wonder if flag football is also a stumbler? LOL.

If I can ask some questions, what are the demographics inside the Kingdom Hall? Who is staying, and who is leaving? Do you think many are sitting on the fence due to fear of shunning? How are the hours of the publishers? Is the zeal hightenend? Is anyone questioning the arrival of 2014? Does the rank and file or elders show any doubts with doctrines (blood, generation changing)? Do they just mainly grumble about getting along with each other and perception? Are the elderly depressed?

I just ate a hot dog, literally. I didn't get dinner tonight and was too hungry to sleep. Thanks. I thought I'd check JWN. I think I'll go have a nightmare now.

Another Newbie

i recently came to the realization that the organization is corrupt and is false.

my story is similar to many i think.

i was raised in the religion, pioneered and served as an elder for a number of years.

Love you name. Very creative and to the point.

Welcome. I was a no-one in the Truth, just a publisher. I started to figure it out when I was a teenager. I was a science and math guru, and man being only 6,000 years old and the 1914 calculation was too far out for me to buy it. I desperately wanted to go to college, and that didn't mix in the 80s. So, I hung up my publisher card and left.

Anyway, welcome to your spiritual journey. We are all on it.

I have a BIG decision to make.......

by pandora in

sorry for the previous post..... i fat fingered and can't figure out how to delete it.... .

i want a tattoo, but i want it to make a statement.

and that statement is that i think the jw's are a cult and bad in all ways.

skeeter1

That ex-JW book, "Out of the Coccoon" might give inspiration. A Watchtower (part of a building) with a beautiful butterfly coming out of it, taking flight, and free.

Or, you could do Sparlock....

HI! im new here...

by outofthelionsden in

i have been reading post on this forum for many months and i wanted to thank you all for all the great posts and comments that have really helped me get through this hard year of fading.

my husband and i where born in jdubs and almost 1 year ago we started to fade , now that we think about it has been a few years that we were suffering from cognitive dissonance without knowing it.

we feel that finally we have our life back , a life that is just starting.

Another close relative of mine left the Truth before me. He choose to go live in a foreign country where he totally didn't know any of the language or customs. Looking back, he realizes that part of the allure was that there 'would be a reason' why he didn't fit in.

Yes, worldlies love to talk with us. They are interested and want to know the scoop.

WT August 15, 2013 QFR - Sitting next to a disfellowshipped child at meetings

by Designer Stubble in

page 8 of the latest wt (insider version) has a whole page dedicated to the question whether it is appropriate to sit next to a disfellowshipped child at meetings.. not sure how to paste this in, but check jw.org.

perhaps someone can do this for me.. horrible, no words really on how pharisee like their cult grip and control has become!.

first of all, without any shame they are talking about disfellowshipped minors.

Hawk, you hit on something! Make the JWs believe that they are a weak, tempted group. After all, Satan is about every corner trying to weaken them. If people beleive they are incapable, then the WTS can swoop in as the strong provider of proper, Christian ideas. Including , where to seat your children at church.
