Do you have any examples or statistics to support your observation ? I have been out for over 20 years , so I wouldn`t have a clue .however it would make my day if it was true.

60Are they either leaving or going full on 'cult mode'? No quarter.
by punkofnice init might just be me imagining things.. i hear things from my jw spies.. from all that's being said, it seems to me that the rank and file(tm), are either waking up to the scam and fading/leaving.
they are going full on 'cult mode' and acting like 'spiritual police'.. is it just me and my imagination?
have others noticed this?.

LNO .
You do have supporters and friends here , where you can come to any day or night and just vent or rejoice in whatever mood your in ,and someone can interact with you.
And I concur wholeheartedly with what FD has said
take care.
PS , hopefully your hubby will see through the BS sooner rather than later.

" We also ask that you temporarily do not use any printed literature in your own preaching ministry, use only the Bible " and preferably not a JW Bible .
And the reason for that is of course is because printed literature identifies the WTB&TS as the source of the said printed literature , and they want to distant themselves from a persons religious activity .
Another classic example of throwing the "JW witness " under the bus. , your on your own buddy , don`t expect any help from us .It`s your personal decision .

Mankind proved they can't rule?
by Simon inaccording to the jw doctrine, mankind has tried every form of goverment but ultimately failed to rule successfully.
so many wars ... we really need big j to sort things out.
what a swell guy.

Why Jehovah had to kill off every living thing that moved on the ground I`ll never understand .
He was pissed off with humans OK ? Why did he have to kill off all the animals ? what did they ever do against him.?
The story makes no sense

What crime should elders report?
by kramer inso, i am trying to get my head around what the right position of elders should be when they come across crime is.. i think i get the issuess around clergy confidentiality - and how that might potentially be breached when they talk about it to other elders, let alone the police.. but if people are saying that elders - or clergy of another faith should report crime to the police when it is confessed to the, then where are the boundaries.. so if someone says they should report to police on a confessed example of child abuse, that's one thing.. how about reporting to police consensual sex between a 19year old and 15 year old - which is statutory rape in the uk.
how about criminal fraud if they come across it.
assault on a congregant?.

Simply put , All crimes should be reported to the relevant authorities by Elders when they hear/know about it.
Not to do so , is being an accessory after the fact. And they should be prosecuted if they don`t do so .
Jehovah`s Witnesses have long claimed they have no Clergy/laity class distinction
Yet hypocritically they have claimed Clergy privilege.In many cases.
