I think there is going to be a domino effect
- more and more people waking up
- WT publishes more articles/talks about loyalty, information control etc
- more people get suspicious and uncomfortable
- more people wake up

Proclaimers Book claims anyone can leave the org
by Sanchy inwas going through proclaimers book and found this little nugget on page 232. there is so much wrong with this paragraph that my head almost exploded when i read it.. however, i was thinking, perhaps those like me that are trying to fade away without "trouble", can use this in the case that an elder should start questioning with intent of escalating matters.

They don't equate disfellowshipping with infringing on your freedom to leave.
That makes sense, but in the cult mind control you can make anything mean what you want.
Sure you got disfellowshipped...
It's f-cked up, but that is how they all think

Any thought behind your " Avatar"
by The Rebel ini think that's the correct phrase?
anyway when i first came here, that little picture that "the rebel" hides behind, was a self portrait of a very sad man, who simply had too much knowledge.
now i feel after 7 months here, i should repaint that " avetor" give some happiness to the eyes, and a contented smile to the lips.. in short my " avetor" was a self portrait of a man with too much knowledge.

Are Witnesses really "Bible Students"?
by stuckinarut2 inwe were always told that as witnesses we were "sincere bible students".... carefully examining the scriptures.. yes, we were indeed taught much about the content of the bible, it's history, prophecies etc..... but it was always from one perspective....that of the society.
when the society changed its interpretations, we had to do the same..... so were we really "bible students", or "society students"?.
just a thought.....

They are watchtower students
Witnesses have an eisegesis approach to the bible which makes their understanding an absolute joke.
On the other hand exegesis is an attempt to determine the historical context within which a particular verse exists – the so-called "Sitz im Leben" or life setting.
they ignore everything but what they want to get out of the text, 2+2=5 if you will.

what do you think is the main reason why so many young ones are waking up?
by Crazyguy inseems as though the number of baptisms even for the young ones is down from what people report here.
at my former hall the young ones are all in totally sheltered even while going to school.
expressing thier desires to pioneer etc.

Because in this day and age of readily available information, you have to be insane to believe the bronze age sheep headers guide to the galaxy. Truth (real truth) is now harder to control. -

Todays WT about young people not following the bad example of their parents
by konceptual99 inso the wt today had some paragraphs that told young people they could make their own stand for da troof.... 2 since we live in a fierce, loveless world, it is no surprise that many children have to grow up without the benefit of loving, protective parents.
(2 tim.
3:1-5) many christians today come from painful family backgrounds, but they have built close friendships with jehovah.

Didn't they basically make a backhanded comparison of the man in the illustration in the easy chair to one of the homicidal maniac Jew kings in the sheepherders guide to the galaxy? -

The Jehovah’s Witness bagged themselves a Big One when they got Professor Raj Kalaria, to speak about his belief
by Watchtower-Free inuk scientist helps christian cult to promote creationism.
the jehovah’s witness bagged themselves a big one when they got professor raj kalaria, above, to speak about his belief in creationism in a new video posted online by the cult.. keralia is currently a deputy director of the newcastle centre for brain ageing and vitality, newcastle, and a professor of neuropathology at newcastle university, uk.. when ex-jehovah’s witness lloyd evans, who runs jwsurvey, discovered that an april 2016 jw broadcasting episode featured keralia, he decided to:.
reach out to newcastle university to find out whether it endorses the academic’s stance on evolution, and found myself in a rather frustrating email exchange with helen rae, the media relations manager at the university’s faculty of medical sciences .. after much to-ing and fro-ing, an official statement was finally forthcoming ….

Keralia is a professor in neuropathology? Is it just me or is it a stretch to call this man a scientist? Sounds like a rouge academic to me. Also look at ben Carson, he's a freaking brain surgeon who is not only a bible thumping creationist, but believed some pretty wacky stuff about the pyramids. Also he ran for president but that is not as impressive as brain surgery.
