i am a current jw who is currently struggling to leave or stay, depends on how you want to look at it.

i have created a new blog, www.jwawoken.com to allow me to have an outlet for the cognitive dissonance in my brain.

A lot of JWs are waking up, and maybe writing letters with difficult questions about the Royal Commission in Australia and other matters that expose the organization.
Agree 100% Letters, phone calls, people asking elders, elders asking branches and so on, the information coming in that is gauging dissent must be rising.
Some things jackson said effectively went on record castrating them. You can celebrate christmas, they aren't gods sole channel, we have a pedo problem, now they have to live with those things being on record from the horses mouth.

This could be a result of one of two things:
1. Dissent from resent bad press or organizational decisions directed at elders and overseers or
2. Preparing for future decision they anticipate elders and servants will not like
Either way they seem like an organization on the regular defense.

When he says "well this does not apply" just around/after 5:00 he is lying, watch his eyes.
This appears to be more back peddling from bad press, maybe ARC etc.
"We aren't dogmatic" when he is defining it he is saying its a belief that can't be challenged and he is in affect saying the GB would never do that. Ok, so let me go say to their face I disagree with their overlapping insanity... will they or will they not be dogmatic and DF me???
I see more and more they are trying to deny their real self. The double speak is going next level.
His body language and demeanor seems very unsure, slightly defeated. I wonder if they are having issues identifying how important they are and how they look post Jackson testimony?

As a CO's wife told my friend before he stopped attending. He told her there are good people who are not witnesses. Her response...

hello all, i would like to first say that i am basically questioning my faith in god.

i am not negative towards the wt at all.

so honestly i am to concerned with more ad hominem attacks towards the wt because i still love the organization and the people in it.

Sorry don't mean to be harsh, but what makes me most bitter of all is willful ignorance. Thats the thing that keeps cults and harmful organization and radical religions n business.

at the special assembly day (sad) imitate the desert god.. here is a word for word quote from the co during the baptism talk .

"an intellectual approach to the truth will not lead to everlasting life"....

Looking down into the auditorium too, there must have been a dozen separate contribution boxes just in the main assembly hall down the isles. As I am looking down at this during the session, I was thinking you cannot tell me that is vastly different from passing a plate!
Although like their rapture belief now, they will say its not on a small technicality. But it is. In that talk they said "budgeting to support kingdom interests". So how far away do we think they are from tithing??? I can hear it now.
Rational thinker: "We are tithing now? Isn't that what we've condemned"
Watchtower: "No we aren't"
Rational thinker: "but its pretty similar"
Watchtower: "WE don't tithe"
Rational thinker: "We do!"
Watchtower: "It doesn't have the same connotation, so we don't tithe"
Rational thinker: *googles jehovahs witnesses*
