  Why So Many Young People Are Leaving The Watchtower

  by Jeremy C in

  i have been giving a lot of thought to the young people who are leaving the watchtower organization in recent years.

  last night, i was reading the thread posted by jwfacts a while back in which he provided some statistics and graphs showing the rapidly declining growth in the watchtower.

  one factor that was discussed at length was the high number of young people who do not stay in the organization.

  **waves at David**

  Well said. I think the observations about the JW's can equally apply to ALL high-control, fundamentalist religions.

  Cognitive dissonance anyone?

  Paging Margaret White.....paging Margaret White.....

  A fellow Stephen King fan, I presume..... So not only was a child afraid that something was wrong with her body, she was accused of doing something wrong. I'm guessing that "sister" in the First Aid department needed the stick removed from her ass.

  Let's all be thankful that the Witnesses don't reach out to teens. We all know teenagers will fuck like rabbits if you get more than two of them together. Or they will drink and watch R rated movies and listen to music that debases. Debases!!!!!!!

  The Convention Pretty Much Sucked

  by Franklin Massey in

  i feel better now.. but just in case you are wondering why i think it sucked, here you go:.

  - it was clearly an "insider's only" convention.

  why invite the public if you are just going to engage in crazy talk that only jws can decipher?.

  So the angels decide guilt before a committee is formed? Sounds like elders are getting tired of lawsuits and asked Mom for some extra CYA measures.

  while channel surfing the other day, i caught something on tlc called toddlers and tiaras.

  i watched it!

  i was appalled, but at the same time the whole social implication of such a thing fascinated me.

  Anyhoo, it made me laugh.

  How long into the future do you feel it will take before the majority of mankind give up on "God" to solve their problems?

  by StoneWall in

  i mean the above question out of sincerity and honesty and not trying to belittle anyones beliefs or lack there of.. my point is if armageddon don't happen or the rapture within the next 1000 years or so, how long will man keep holding out hope for a divine being, whether it be jesus, jehovah, allah or "fill in the blank" to come and solve all the problems?.

  do you feel that there is a timetable of any sort?.

  if god hasn't manifested himself/herself/itself in say 5000 years from now to all mankind, do you think the majority at that time will still be clinging to a belief in a higher power if nothing at all has changed as far as their "appearing,coming, calling us to them etc."?.

  It's political posturing, pandering to the Tea Party base which will bite them in the ass, I suppose.

  Watchtower: You Need To Clean Your Organization, NOW!

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the leaders of jehovah's witnesses are faced with a dilemma: they endlessly praise themselves as a 'clean' organization that has god's approval while dealing with the day to day reality of internal corruption, barely hidden decay, long term serious sins and a loss of vitality.. it should be obvious that there are countless elders going thru the motions simply to please their families - and much the same is true of publishers, as the society's own statistics manifest a profoundly unproductive preaching work.

  worse yet, there is plain evidence of outright disloyalty as confidential documents pop up continually on the internet.

  want a new elder's manual?
