15 Years of Jehovahs-Witness.com
by Simon inyes, today is the forum's 15th birthday!.
i never thought for one moment that it would survive this long or have so many people post so many great subjects over the years.. it is still humbling when i get pm's or emails from people expressing how the site has helped them and of course thanks goes to all the posters who have shared their experiences and make helpful and supportive comments to others who are in the sometimes difficult process of learning the real truth about 'the truth'.. the site has gone through several different incarnations over the last 15 years running on different platforms, different databases and different hosts but we've been able to keep all the old topics.
the current site is still being developed and i'm hoping to push another major upgrade soon.. i also may have some other news to share soon about the future of the site so stay posted.. until then, here's the the next 15 years!

"Doctor," the embarrassed man said, "I have a sexual problem. I can't get it up for my wife anymore.
"Mr. Garrett, bring her back with you tomorrow and let me see what I can do."
The next day, the worried fellow returned with his wife. "Take off your clothes, Mrs. Garrett," the medic said. "Now turn all the way around. Lie down please. Uh-huh, I see. Okay, you may put your clothes back on."
The doctor took the husband aside. "You're in perfect health," he said. "Your wife didn't give me an erection either."

HENNY YOUNGMAN JOKES:
I've been in love with the same woman for forty-one years. If my wife finds out, she'll kill me.
I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places. He told me to quit going to those places.
Why do Jewish men die before their wives? They want to.

Effect of reading here.
by New day insaomebody mentioned in a recent thread here i think that the more they read here the more they feel angry at the wt.
personally, as an ex-elder (only resigned a few months ago) i feel that it is more like suddenly being on the outside looking in at a whole group of people playing parts.
the zealous pioneers answering all the time.

I would be interested to know if others feel that we assume roles as we enter the KH.
LikeThe WTBTS wants everyone in the kingdom halls to be competing against each other as to who is more spiritual,has more bible studies,who is a special pioneer,pioneer,ministerial servant,elder,elders wife,who handed out the most books and magazines,who will give the funeral talk,wedding talk,Memorial talk,who has parts in the conventions,who will work with the C.O. and P.O........ etc.etc.
The competition is so fierce that only the strong survive. The 800 pound gorilla usually wins inside the kingdom hall. Everyone on the outside of the kingdom hall either works in construction,electrician,janitor,landscaper,factory worker. But as soon as he/she steps into the kingdom hall they all assume their job. Some of the power gets in their heads and abuse their power. THERE ARE TOO MANY 800 POUND GORILLAS IN THE WTBTS. -

I don't understand "following him around" - like literally walking behind him while he was on a date?The elders would follow them in a car and hide. They would park their car,stay inside and wait until he came out of his girlfriends house.
I'm sorry that I used ''marked''. He was reproved. Sometimes I get mixed up with the terminology.

My cousin was disfellowshipped at 19 years old. He told me that the elders were following him around while he had a girlfriend on the side. He had a guilty conscience one day and admitted to fornicating with his girlfriend. He was ''marked''. A couple of months later he was disfellowshipped.
What happened in between? Did the elders bring him in the back room once in a while and ask him if he was still fornicating with his girlfriend? At what point did the elders feel it was time to disfellowship him?

WATCHTOWER APRIL 2015 ( STUDY EDITION )
God pardoned David’s sin because of David’s sincere repentance. (Ps. 32:1-5) Likewise, a servant of Jehovah today will be disfellowshipped only if he is unrepentant or continues to practice what is bad. (Acts 3:19; 26:20) If genuine repentance is not manifest to the elders who serve on a judicial committee, they must disfellowship the person.
Let's use teenagers ( as an example ) who get disfellowshipped from the congregation due to fornication. These teens admit to the elders that they were fornicating ( due to getting caught or from a guilty conscience ). How does the elder body follow up after a teen admits to fornication the first time? Are they questioned for a time period after? How many times can someone admit to fornication where someone is declared unrepentant?
What is sincere repentance? How does the elder body know if someone is unrepentant or continues what is bad? How does someone show genuine repentance?

Your explanation was Exactly what the term '' jump the shark'' means. Original meaning was the point when a television series shows it has run out of ideas and must resort to stunts to retain viewer interest. Derived from a scene in the last years of Happy Days when the Fonz waterskied over a shark.
As you stated, the WTS is in decline, stagnant,taking drastic measures to regain momentum,trying to reinvent themselves,not remaining true to themselves,selling out and doing outlandish things to retain members and soften new members.
This in not the WTBTS I've known since the early 70's when I was baptized. The acting in these videos look out of place and stiff. They look worse than the dramas at the summer conventions. Bad acting and lip syncing.

JW BROADCAST HAS JUST JUMPED THE SHARK!
From "Hollywood (Part 3)", a 1977 episode of the TV series Happy Days, in which the character Fonzie jumped over a shark on waterskis, after which (supposedly) the show bore no similarity to its original form.

The Real History of Mormonism - Outstanding Lecture
by cofty inif you think the mormon church is off-the-scale crazy you probably don't know the half of it.. the historical information in this talk by david fitzgerald is fascinating.
the good news is that, just like the watchtower, their growth is being stunted by the internet.. grab a coffee and be amazed at just how gullible millions of people can be.. lucy harris has become my new heroine.
don't miss the section from 8:50.

God hands over plates to Moses ( they somehow seem to get smashed into pieces ). The Angel Maroni hands plates to Joseph Smith ( the Angel now wants them back for some reason). Why can't God find anyone on this earth to preserve these plates? OH! Maybe there were no plates to begin with!
