I agree with your observations. Bowen was super smart (a bit condescending- but smart none the less). If anyone would figure it all out, it would be him. I always saw Liverance as a bit of a goofy, obedient type (spoke spanish with a horrendous gringo accent)

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.

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.

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.

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.

The young ones are leaving in droves!!!
by 1914BS ini 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?.
