This is too simple for the average ( low intelligence ) witness to comprehend I`m afraid
and it`s not their fault ,it`s the direction from the governing body,that they don`t need higher education!!
end of story .

John Carpenters "The Thing" was / is one of my most favourite sf movies.I loved the original when I was a kid with "gunsmoke" guy as the thing, thats right james arness in the 50`s ?
I`ll be looking forward to seeing that and hope it doesn`t disappoint me
The opening scenes of J.C`s film with the soundtrack up high is mind bending,with the dog bounding through the ice.
If you havent seen it ? do so

I`m terribly sorry you feel this way .....at the moment your feeling this way
hopefully it will pass..soon enough
I think most of us at sometimes wish the same thing.....and are thankfull later on that it didn`t occur
I couldn`t open the link you put out ,so I am in the dark as to what brought you to this condition
Their are multitudes of people who do not know you personally talesin,but I guarantee you, everyone on this board hopes/prays that you will get through this low spot in your life
Take courage tomorrow is another day
and if tomorrow doesn`t bring you satisfaction
their is always another day
and sooner or later things will look brighter....eventually
Trust me ..... my wife and I have been their ..a couple of times

Wow, this bit of info surprised even me!!!
by LeKook ini just spoke to a witness friend (has been a witness 25+ years), who said that the elders in her congregation told her that witnesses had better be prepared to begin going door to door, not to announce "good news", but to denounce people who refuse to accept "the trvth".
has anyone else heard about this?
i thought it was a joke at first, but she said no, that's where the elders told her things were headed.

This is certainly not something new to old timers,it may be a revelation to newer ones ,but us oldies have heard it all before.
I heard it in the 1960`s

If You Heard An Acquaintance Was Considering A Study With JWs Would You Get Involved At All?
by minimus inwould you express an opinion to that person studying with the witnesses or would you keep quiet?.
if you did say something, what would it be?.

Why So Many Young People Are Leaving The Watchtower
by Jeremy C ini have been giving a lot of thought to the young people who are leaving the watchtower organization in recent years.
last night, i was reading the thread posted by jwfacts a while back in which he provided some statistics and graphs showing the rapidly declining growth in the watchtower.
one factor that was discussed at length was the high number of young people who do not stay in the organization.

A great post Jeremy
But I don`t want the WTB&TS to change anything!!
The faster they go into decline the better.

Stupid suggestion from Study Conductor
by roxanesophia inhi everyone, first i just want to say if it wasn't this forum, i'd be baptized!
i haven't managed to successfully end my studies with a zealous jw.
she uses everything against me to brainwash me into believing i need the org.

Forgive me if i`m off track here ,I haven`t read all these comments ,but from the earlier ones i get the impression you have very low self esteem of yourself, you need to be more assertive in your convictions,if you dont want the message of jw`s then speak up!!
Your mind is in control of your body.
Not somebody elses mind controlling you
Do not be intimidated by somebody else
If you do beleive in God,he gave you a brain to use yourself,
Not to be controlled by any one else
Take controll of your own life,make decisions for your self,stuff anybody else.
