  The Society, having lost its younger generation, now appears to be doing its darndest to lose the older ones as well

  from all the "annual general meeting" notes floating around, one quotation stands out in particular:.

  many older ones already are telling the younger ones how they regretted not getting an education, pursuing a lucrative career, saving up money or not having a retirement plan.

  the sad truth is that such ones are like the murmurers of israel when coming out of egypt.. what does this remark tell us?.

  The R&F will eat all the GB/FS tells them.They the GB/FS set the example they said "look at us we simplified" you do the same less secular work more field service work and Jehovah will provide.However the R&F just don't get it when GB simplify, it means kicking out old time bethlites,selling their high priced real estates,moving printing facilities to countries where they can get away with labour laws such as Canada,closing Mexico,etc,etc.Oh yeah their are countries where they are growing(3rd world).

  Strange how cult members will stand by imperfect men.Yet when a R&F member makes a comment to say the GB/elders are wrong(ex.generation-1914) they get the boot,o

  Nick I like your way of thinking however the R&F J.W. is so brain washed by the GB/FDS of the WBTS that they really think it is GOD.So silly stupid jw are,

  I said to myself,there are many many J.W. that do not believe the GB/FDS/WBTS and this is their secret place to vent and not get shunned.Sort of their way of telling off the GB/FDS.If the truth be known ,many would leave the cult but it's all about the family.

  my husband had another 'phone call' last night from the congregation po... the conversation went something like this..... po " i do not want to put words into your mouth but are you saying you no longer want to be recognised as a jw?".

  hubby " i am not making that statement no... cut to the chase what are you getting at".

  po " i have been informed you celebrated (child) birthday".

  What has happened to you,reminds me of the inquisition ot the 13th/14th century.How the hierarchy ot the R.C.church(FDS/GB) questioned the R&F as to the loyalty to the R.C.church(WBTS).Under torture(shunninig).

  Lies and Damn Lies

  by AllTimeJeff in

  2. friends

  the greatest mistake and the greatest harm i ever did to myself as a jehovah's witness is lying to myself.

  about everyone else secondly.. i believe in very few constants in life.

  i think we all are on journey's and it takes a lot to get to where we are going.

  Good points Jeff.I am honest with myself and try not to step on too many toes but I am a bad dancer.

  All the bs of the GB/FDS I ignore.I live a good life and when I die that is good enough for me.

  Top 10 reasons why JWs don't have the truth - please contribute

  by oldlightnewshite in

  i thought it would be an interesting exercise to ask everybody on here what their 'top 10 reasons why jws don't have the truth' actually were.

  maybe we can see some correlating views/patterns/ideas that may help us de-programme the newbies that come on this site.

  if eventually most people have an outstanding gripe/concern it'll help everybody understand the ex-jw mindset a little better.
