long video i guess addressing the many hard feelings of people getting the axe at brooklyn and other facilities.. the gist is - thanks for your help, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
or scripturally saying - "keep warm and well fed"p.s.
they are admitting that the are letting older ones go.. http://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodprogramsevents/pub-jwbrd_201605_5_video.
"I hope by Jehovah's undeserved kindness you will remain much longer and become a permanent member of the Bethel family."- N.H. Knorr. All you Bethelites that are now being lovingly displaced must remember this lie that Jehovah's Loving Organization presented to you to get you to come slave at 'the big house' for free. What happened to Jehovah's undeserved kindness? I guess it is only invoked when it benefits the Organization.
i know i've started similar topics before but this time i'm serious.
my parents have been constantly pressuring me and after yesterday's watchtower study they asked me if i was going to be baptized this summer... and i said yes.
i probably should have thought about it more before making a final decision, but they're pretty much forcing me to do it anyway.
Blackwolf..........................Magwitch has really laid it on the line for you in a kind and forthright manner. I would highly recommend that you watch a movie entitled: A PRICE ABOVE RUBIES. The story is about a young woman that grows up in an Orthodox Jewish community but realizes in her heart that it is not the life for her. You may have some trouble finding it because it was made in 1998 and had a limited release. I wish you all the best in your life journey.
cars, plasma tvs, shopping malls...all come from satan.

At least the REAL Mr. Potato head didn't mind playing with dogs.
i found out this morning that my brother died last night, he was also an ex jw, 73 years old and died of heart disease and kidney failure.
it was not totally unexpected, as he had been in poor health, but it's a blow, especially as i just lost another brother two years ago.
there were six of us, now only four.
My condolences, Lisa.
this is my first time joining a forum like this.
i grew up in the jw religion.
i was baptized when i was 13 and started to fade out at 16 at least mentally.

JEHOVAH thanks you for your years of loyal service. Now don't let 'the door hit you on the way out'!

"I was going to say it is like a Twilight Zone episode." - Millie 210
Great catch Millie! The Twilight Zone aired an episode on September 29, 1961 entitled, THE SHELTER. However, as you have rightly observed, the Twilight Zone is far more creative and thought provoking than anything that the Governing Body(tm) could possibly produce.
many people find it difficult to reconcile suffering and existence of god.
it seems they feel that it is god’s obligation to shield humans from ill-effects of their short-sighted acts..
people’s hobby has something to do with this kind of reasoning!
i've personally never met any of those who claim to be anointed but the other jw's who have are always unanimous in their praise of how lovely and what wonderful people they are.
and i don't mean the gb i mean common or garden anointed.
i was told that when they speak about being in heaven that they almost "seem to glow".. is this right?
It seems as though many from the first half of the 'overlapping generation' of anointed ones were much more sincere, humble, hard working and kind compared to the second half of the 'overlapping generation' of so-called anointed ones. As a young boy in the early '60's and into my teenaged years in the early '70's I was acquainted with 6 very old members of the so-called 'anointed class'. Gordon Walker and his wife were very old and kind and generous to my mother. Elizabeth 'Bessie' Graham and her aunt were of strong New England stock. They were no-nonsense people and very down to earth and humble. The mother of Russell McPhee, the Circuit Overseer, was a nice, thoughtful person. And Edith Brenneisen , the widow of E.W. Brenneisen was kind and generous to a fault. Of course, my observations were through the eyes of youth and could be distorted by my inexperience. As far as the members of the second half of the 'overlapping generation' are concerned, if the men on the Governing Body (tm) are a reflection of the quality of the current so-called anointed remnant, than what a sad commentary indeed on the state of affairs in 'Jehovah's Organization'.
