I hid in the loos. Elders wanted a "word", and stood outside the door waiting for me. Lots of people were milling around after the meeting and the elders stood with their back to the ladies loo door. I snuck out behind them and headed for my car. Escaped! At least for that day.

whose hiding in the toilets at the kingdom hall?
by highdose inthis was a favorite way of getting away from the very unloving "loving brothers and sisters".
hide in the toilets, no one can collar you and tell you off.
and even better you won't be in amongst a group of people but still feeling so alone... at least you will actauly be alone!.

Yes the computer thingy is odd but he knows people from Bethel that I know so I reckon he's kosher. The only thing that struck me was he mentioned studying the knowledge book. Couldn't help but wonder how a fairly new bro can rise to the rank of a bethelite elder in just a few years.
Not saying its a big deal, just a niggle thats all.
Sorry to doubt you PP but we can get some serious wind-up merchants on here, the last one being Angel-Eyes. Can you put our minds at rest?

Daniel Rodriguez's The Watchtower's Coming Crisis
by dgp ini'm reading "the watchtower's coming crisis", by daniel rodriguez.
rodriguez claims the watchtower will have a severe crisis in the years to come, as "the generation that wouldn't pass away" does pass away.
time is the wts worst enemy, he says.

By the sound of your critique of the book yadda, I reckon he's on the wrong track entirely. Its not the running out of anointed that might break the WT but the fact that so many will be claiming that status. It'll make everyone chiefs so that nobody will be. The increase in partakers is waht scares the WT more than anything as it directly erodes their exclusivity and control.
I'm in discussion right now with a Witness who is having serious doubts about refusing the bread and wine this year. He can see that scripturally the Society's 2 classes of christians teaching is flawed and feels the need to "keep doing this..." in obedience to Jesus.
If the partaker numbers start to snowball, then I believe we might see some serious damage to the top dogs in Brooklyn and more absurd scriptural gymnastics in an effort to protect their power.

One of them is the poster called Paulapollos on here but he hasn't given his real name. Perhaps if you PM him Grace, he may be willing to let you know their names but I don't think he wants it to be public knowledge without the permission of the others.
love BZ

Have you watched the video of the Worldwide Church of God PP? Its a fantastic story of a whole religion that realised they were totally on the wrong path. The parallels with the WTS are profound.
Well worth a look.

a BIG shoutout to jwfacts
by poopsiecakes inim sure this has been mentioned many times on this site but i wanted to express my personal feelings of gratitude to paul at jwfacts.com.
paul, your site changed my life.
even though i discovered it when i was already disfellowshipped and really didnt have the intention of going back, i was still a fierce jw apologist.

Paulapollos - First Article on Freeminds
by besty inhttp://www.freeminds.org/organization/governing-body/the-governing-body-of-jehovah-s-witnesses-examining-their-claimed-authority.html.
right now the article is on the homepage http://www.freeminds.org/.
"one particular teaching that lends credence to the governing body being in authority over jehovah's witnesses, is the claim they are of the annointed class, and they have received god's spirit in a way that enables them to govern rank and file jehovah's witnesses.
