The dubbers lied about the numbers, it went from thousands to a couple of hundred. The Nazi regime was not all that concerned with the Dubbers. They had to make themselves outspoken to get noticed. All that clap trap about how worried the third reich was about the Dubbers is all horse shit to make themselves feel important.

Should a Jehovah's Witness allow an imperfect person to come between him/her and Jehovah?
by I_love_Jeff in"what are some ways in which you might develop such loyalty?
one would be by cooperating with your local congregation elders.
(hebrews 13:17) recognizing that christ is the appointed head of the christian congregation, mature christians are loyal to those appointed "to shepherd the congregation of god.

Sorry but your post is a load of shit. God is only pretend and to debate your question is like rearranging the deck furniture on the Titanic.

I moved to Florida from North Michigan a year ago. I have not been to a KH in over 15 years, that said they know who I am at my old hall. I got a knock at the door and it was an elder from my old hall. I guess he comes down south for the winter. LOL. That was about two weeks ago and now his wife shows up. Not sure if they are still trying to get me to say I don't believe in the JW way of life or not. I doubt it as they would not send a woman to do that. Do they report that information to the old hall records? Of not. Not sure how that's done.

Its a bit weirder than the title may lead you to believe. I moved from Michigan where I was a Witness for 30 years to Arkansas and then to Kansas. A year ago I moved to Florida. Saturday I had a two men show up at my door a black and white guy with the usual suspects awake and NWT. I opened the door mentally preparing to ask the usual questions when I realized I was sure I knew the white guy. The black witness said you don't know this guy. I said I think I do, did you live in Michigan I asked. Yes he said. Did you live in Northern Michigan I asked. Yes he said, what is your name? he told me his first name and then I asked his last name he told me and I said, I thought so. He was an elder in my old congregation from years ago. I had not seen him and we actually talked for about 10 min, then he tried to go into his presentation about the devil. I cut him off as politely as I could and said I really don't have much to do with any religion anymore but thanks for stopping buy. They both seemed like it was not offensive to them. Now I will have to be a bit less or a lot less offensive when dubbers stop by. I don't need a connection to the the hall all my files are in. Its possible now to be DFed for speaking out against the cult.
Not a problem. I have grown past the need or compulsion to rant against the cult. I am settled in my belief and under standing of why its wrong and that I don't believe in the Bible or any god.

Watch Tower Web Site Has No Commenting Feature, Comments Unwelcome,
by frankiespeakin inwell it comes as no surprise that the "official" watch tower web site has no place to leave a comment you can only leave your address if your interested.. can you imagine if they did have a place where you can post comments what would happen?.
i'm sure the lack luster of the wt web site is due to the fact that a bunch of old governing body member must go over it with a fine toothed comb and with all thier other business to carry out as corporation executives it is just to time consuming and lets face it these old guys just don't have what it takes to bring this organization thru the 21st century, they are too lost in thier delusion, they are fighting thier own shadow, the enemy is everyone that disagrees with them and they are so steeped in denial they don't want to hear any comment that doesn't agree with them.
they only want confirmation biased statements to read, all else must be resisted and faught against.. internet presents is very important to the wt or it should be as door to door sales will no longer pay the bills, who wants a trashy magazine when you can down load info cheaply and quickly off the net.. these delusional old guys running the wt will be the reason they go belly up.

I can remember the buzz going around the cult years ago, that if you read every Awake for 3 years you would have the equivalent of a college education. LOL There is not lie they will not go to that keeps their rank and file in line.

I think anyone who has critical thinking abilities will google the subject and read all the crazy crap this cult evolved from. There are those who will not read or believe one thing that is critical of the cult.

I can remember seeing several older people collapsing under the heat in the Silver dome every year. I talke about it to my partner an elder and he would say, ya it was their choice to go. Well a several years back at one of the last silver dome assemblys his dad collapsed and died under the heat. LOL I wonder if he was so calous then? I have also seen how people from bethel are treated like royalt. Given money and taken places bla bla bal. I left the borg in 96 and have never regreted it for a second. The only regret I have is that I did not leave much much earlier.

A sure sign the End is Near....
by King Solomon inthe end of the month, that is, and someone apparently needs to get their hours in.... this resourceful jw (in the left side of the photo) set up shop for a few hours outside a local starbucks, with a wt and awake laid out on a table.
and i i don't think he talked to anyone the whole time he was out there (a few hours).. sure beats all that walking from door-to-door, which would likely result in a bunch of not-at-homes on a weekday: most people are at work.. (i approached him when entering, and asked him about the parable of faithful and "discreet" slave, and asked him what he thought the difference was between a parable and prophecy.
after getting a non-answer (that basically meant he didn't know), i wished him a good morning and went on my way.... .

I was raised in the cult and told that we had all the answers and that other religions run from us because we knew all they did not want to believe. Now as I grew up I started to see we had no answers and that we were told shit that we were not to question. Now I see we were nothing but mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed a diet of shit. I wasted so god damned much of my life on that cult and I know enough that when they come to the door they run away, every damn time they run. Like the little brain washed fools they are. I was one of those fools but at least I have an excuse, when I was in, I was young and raised in the mind control of the cult. I slowly saw that the prim rosed path laid out for me was nothing but lies and left. I never let the pressure of having people I grew up with and family not talking to me ever stop me from thinking. I was told time and again that I thought too much. Well I don't see that as a bad thing. I feel I did not think enough or fast enough to get out before 30YO. I wish that I had been raised in any [almost any] other religion or better yet an Atheist home. The JWs and their hate of higher education works for keeping the RnF stupid and in line but Little to help them.

Why Is My Sister Accusing Me Of Apostasy? (new guy here)
by HelpMeBelieve inhello, maybe i am gambling by posting a thread here at your website.
i don't know what an apostate really is and why someone is removed from the watchtower for this sin.. .
i have a sister in visalia california who is telling all my brothers and sisters "he is an apostate, our schizophrenic brother said so!".

Apostate is just a word used to scare people into keeping quiet about thinking for themselves. If your sister is so brain washed as to be willing to throw you under the bus you are better off with out her in your life. Its hard I know but don't waste your life trying to convince others who are telling you how to live that mean them no harm. I had a partner Daryl Kunde who threw his only brother under the bus for a bunch of idiots in the KH and has not talked to him in years 35 I believe. Its a waste of time, the cult will keep them in line and you will dance at the end of a stick and have to lie about who you are to keep them from crucifying you.
