i don't post often, but i lurk a lot.
i have fonund the information to be helpful and encouraging.. however, i'm not sure how much longer i can take being married to the jw's.. i have a wonderful husband, but he believes everything this cult tells him.
most recently he has decided that because the end is near we don't have to worry about our bills.
I've managed for over 55 years! I sometimes wonder how I managed it.
My wife is totally IN to the 'TRUTH', there is no moving her; it is ALL true!
I have tried joining it, even being baptised in 1963 but I just don't believe any of it.
So it is possible, we do have quite heated arguments at times; nobody wins.
Keep a clear head and stay reading the forum.
'Husband of JW' aka fokyc
"let's see a show of hands of those who know that the end is very close (everyone raises thier hands while looking around at each other).
excellent!...we know this because we have a whole-hearted faith in the faithful and discreet slave don't we?".
no explanation needed .
Just a load of Zombies! They would agree to anything.
2010 Watchtower Library IS now available!

Most JW's are incapable of partaking in a 'rational discussion' and the thought of following a flow chart!!!!
WELL!! So most will end up with:
"This is NOT a discussion."
"I will not talk to you about this topic."
i attended a recent ministerial servant k m school on the east coast and the main school instructor mentioned among other things (part entitled: 'objective of the km school course') that the total number of ministerial servants is seriously less than it should be.
in times past the ratio of m ss to elders was much more than it is today.. in the u.s. apparently the total number of elders is 88,500+ as opposed to m ss 65,000. the numbers show & numbers don't lie: the society is running out of spiritual men.
the instructor stated that this is a new downward trend that has (in so many words) the society worried.. the next speaker (part entitled: 'why we must be spiritual men') added that in his years as a traveling servant the pool of m ss has always been much, much larger than it is today.
BUT - Soon, the JW's won't need Elders or MS's;
because Armageddon is just around the corner, any minute now!
Then Jesus and a myriad of Angels are taking over; aren't they?
OR have I misunderstood the situation?
i dedicate this thread to itsacult.. everyone say it:.
"itsacult".
.
It doesn't matter how you wrap it up; "IT IS A CULT", and a rotten one at that!
Only cults need to lie about well known facts, SO; "IT IS A CULT".
i thought it'd be fun to talk about what part of the conventions just made you cringe or be annoyed with.
i can remember a couple things:.
i remember after the tms when they put the list in the back on the announcement board, there were people that would get up while the last song was being sung to write down the info.
The bit between 'the start' and 'the finish';
Just the same for a '1 day', '2 day', '3 day' or even an '8 day'!
I hated it ALL!

this post is to expose the unethical, un-scriptural actions of the men involved in the "judicial" processes of jehovah's witneses.
the lack of fair minded impartial justice shown to me during my "judicial" case is a result of what they (the elders) are directed to do by the governing body of jehovah's witnesess.
many people have been through similar and will do again in the future, sadly.
The majority of the management side of the Jehovah's Witnesses Organisation have NO ethics;
They are AMORAL; and very good liars.
this magazine has long been used by "the faithful and discreet slave" as the primary channel for dispensing increased light.
(matt.
24:45) for example, consider our understanding of those who make up "this generation" mentioned by jesus.
What a joke!
