You have to be careful because people that are bitter and resentful will pry any little piece of negativity, no matter how small, and turn it in to something big. They want to believe only the negative and discard any positive because they have been so emotionally destroyed. It becomes difficult to see the boundaries, as they become blurred. I know from experience this is what happens. My father is an Elder and alot of the stuff that has been posted on this forum as the "latest" or "new" , is not necessarily true. Or it is very exaggerated. I think the only way to get honest info is directly from someone who is possibly unbiased. I am not an active Witness by the way, I just know how it can be.

Do You Tend To Believe New Posters When They Tell Us What Bethel's Up To?
by minimus incircuit overseers were supposed to be a thing of the past.
"presiding overseers" were supposed to take over.. there seem to be certain people "in the know" that reveal information and it may sound very convincing-- but is it??.
do you tend to believe what new posters say if they tell us about "new light" from the organization?.

WTBTS IS ON THE RUN AND HELPED JIMMY SWAGGERT !!!
by Hairyhegoat inthe witchtower have no interest in anyone but themselves.
it's all about money at the end of the day, they will lie and do anthing to anyone to keep the lie going.
i have found these comments from another site and you may find it interesting... the cult says they are making the operations of the organization more efficicent and cost effective by selling off these properties but the truth is the cult has been shrinking in numbers and losing millions of dollars each year.

Open relationships, polyamory and swinging
by techdotcom inhas anyone else, after leaving the restrictive rules of the jw world, tried having an open marriage, joining the 'lifestyle' of the swinger comunity?
we've been doing that for about 4-5 months now and it's been an interesting experience, in fact it's been a major distraction from the hell of rebuilding our lives outside the religion and our base of friends.

Well, whatever spins your beanie, but if a married couple needs to incorporate other people into their sex life I would say that something is lacking in the marriage.....just my two cents......
