  How many doubting Thomases?

  by konceptual99 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as an active witness atm i speak reguarly with friends and family who are also active.

  it seems however that there are some things that people are comfortable discussing such as beards (whats the problem) and birthdays (everyone would if they could) and, if you are with close friends, things like confusion over the generations, pressure of keeping all the balls juggled, harshness of rules around da/df ones along with long lapsed family and to some extent blood.. my guess is that there are many more who may be in a similar state of mind to me and wondering if it really is all worth it.

  it makes me wonder about how many with express themselves more if they could?

  It's doubting Thomases like you and your pals that have been directly targeted by the Watchtower at this year's District Convention.

  Who else, besides me?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  over the years on jwn i have often found myself hunting through posts of newcomers, hoping against hope i suppose, that the newbie would be one of my former friends in the local congregation down the street.. i just find it hard to imagine that not a soul among these people has taken the courage to investigate their religion and leave like my wife and i have done.. as the local 'active apostate', i also supposed that at any moment some of the 'brothers' would come covertly to my home, knock and say something like " i am out - please let's talk about it, why i left, why you left.

  but, none of the above has ever happened.

  i did come across a local former jw here, from another congregation, and we have become good friends over the past few years.

  Years ago I knew two close friends that were members of JWN. I never ratted the one fader out, still was friends with him over the years, he pulled off a successful fade. The other DA'd and I just recently got in touch with him. Now I have family on here too.

  The special blue envelopes and the database.....

  by stuckinamovement in

  every judicial case has a form that is filled out after the decision to disfellowshipped is made.

  the form includes the reasons for the action, a brief synopsis of the case.

  it is then stuck in a special blue envelope and mailed to the branch.

  How Do You Think The Watchtower IT Department Is Responding To The Anonymous Threat?

  by DT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so anonymous has declared its intentions to utterly destroy the watchtower society.

  this will likely include attacking the official websites and trying to obtain the database of 23,000+ pedophiles in the organization.. i have never served at bethel so i would appreciate the input of those who have.

  do you think they are taking this threat seriously?.
