after several months of searching these forums i finally decided to join.
i have to say i feel both nervous and excited at the same time.
but everything i have looked into so far has helped me come to many realizations about the organization so i'm overall very glad to have joined.
This site is very important for someone like you. That is- I think that it is a great tragedy for someone to be DFd and actually believe in their hearts that maybe JW's have the truth and they really are estranged from God and whatnot.
This site helps you see what the org is really all about. I hope all the best for you and hubby.
within recent time, two gilead instructors were sent out of paterson.
these men both were experienced and trained well, in fact they were the main instructors.
they each had double digit years of instructing experience.
It was b/c they were holding separate and secret meetings. They were analyzing the NWT and doctrines but researching independently. This was of concern to GB b/c thats how apostacy grew in bethel during the 70'
- sorry- cant seem to turn the yellow off- Do we have a source for the above- I know the KM came out about this shortly after they left, but I've never heard anything to confirm the above.

Welcome dig,
Don't be nervous. There are a lot of good people here. And they'll all talk to someone whose DFd.

Simple answer- there is an obsession with building at Bethel. Nothing can stay the same for very long. Bethelites are former pioneers- that is former contractors and cleaners- therefore the thing that Bethelites do the best is building and cleaning.

flag salute, voting, and civilian service.
This is one of those "duh" subjects that makes you realize just how brainwashed you were. Flag salute and national anthem are religious. Duh?? No one thinks that except JWs. Everyone else on the planet sees them as they really are- an expression of loyalty to your homeland. Yeesh.
i hear that many congos are loosing all their young dubs and now only very old dubs are left.
it seems the jws religion is dying out because there are no youngins to replace the aging ms/elder/cos .
the young dubs are very internet savy and would rather play warcraft than go out in the field circus.. i remember a wt study article a couple of years ago that was entitled" when a young person rebels" or something like that - anyone know that mag?.
I was the 10% that was zealous and still involved in the org. (oops- oh well- now its 0%)
i don't know if this has been mentioned here yet.
i apologize if it has but i haven't seen it here.. jws and the latest district convention ("keep on the watch") was recently mentioned on "the view.
" one of the commentators is a former jw:.
The one commentator seems like she still buys that Bull sh1t. Oh how terrible the world is now- now that we sit on our fat asses and eat fresh food from every corner of the globe and live to be 80 years old on average, and have a higher literacy rate than ever before in human history, and are able to track and fight the next great pestilence. Oh how terrible! The end of the world! We have to fight a war in Afganistan with remote control airplanes where our soldiers never leave the Florida control room.
(yeesh!- try living in about 1520 if you think this is bad!!!)
