It depends largely on the congregation and the elders. If you fade away and do not cause any trouble by talking against the org. They may only visit you once a year. If you are known to talk against the org. they will most likely come after you to "keep the org clean" If you are dfed they will say they have cleaned up the org. I like to keep them wanting to df me and not give them the rope. I once told an elder who kept asking me to just say I did not believe that the org was gods org on earth, that it was his job to find out don't ask me to give you the rope to hang me. They hate that.

14Fading vs. D'F'd
by Band on the Run ini don't know the details.
is it true that if you slowly withdraw, you are free to go but if you are active and do an offense, you are shunned.
is their principle whether you are appropriating and blemishing the name vs. severity of the actual offense.

Bull shit the bible is the authority. It is pushed in the back ground and the drivel [not to imply the bible is not also drivel] that is the society’s publications is put to the fore front of all teaching. They use a few passages here and there to back up the drivel. Its a cult plain and simple. There is a central authority that tells its members what to do in every aspect of their life, and if they do not follow the directives then they are punished with removal. They use fear and intimidation to force its members to stay in line. They use redundancies over and over to impress on the minds of the followers the teachings and they use assemblies to give group mentality that this many people can not be wrong. Most of the points in this article are bull shit. No one in including the GB bennifits from donations? Bull shit. I guess old Ruthaford and his mansion in San Diago and sixteen cyl caddy was drudgery? This article is bull shit through and through. JWs are a cult and a scam. They are one of the worst religions on the planet up there with scientology and Islam.

These videos are excellent. Very well thought out and make the point that religion is a load of shit. The bible is a load of shit. It has nothing of value and those who follow it are deluded. Great post.

I used to subscribe until they changed how you get the sub. I just threw it away or burnt it to heat my home. LOL just to cost them money wasted for printing and postage. Now you can only get a sub from the hall if I am not mistaken. Now I just don't give a shit. Its like what have the scientoligists printed about Xenu? I don't care.

Hypocrisy of the study article Jan 30 (November 15 2010 edition) and March 1st 2011
by BluesBrother inthe study was based on the man job and his integrity.
there are several obvious flaws in their reasoning, but paragraph 6 struck me in the eyes.
the subheading "never resort to devious methods" then :.

The cross thing is a way of differentiating them selfs from other Christian religions. They are like the small business that no one notices so they have to do something to stand out. Going out in the field service is another way that has this purpose and the added benefit of finding people that are depressed and lonely to sweep into the cult. The deception part is funny how they have deceived many with the lies of the end times and being gods channel of communication on earth. Not to mention that the bible itself is a book of bull shit based on the rantings of goat herders.

"Field Service Groups" are more important now than ever before?
by easyreader1970 inthe scare bells are ringing again in the congregations.
this past week, the field service group leader/commander/overlord/whatever made a pretty lengthy announcement that, going forward, the field service groups are going to be of the utmost importance as we wind down towards the end here.
while no indication on when this end might actually be, it was hinted that we might not always have access to the congregation proper and that the few families that are part of the fsg would have to become close knit that they might depend on one another when things get ugly.. i haven't read everything that has passed through the wbts' sphincter lately, but did i miss something?

Hello Everyone...Just Joined Today
by DarioKehl ini've been reading this thread for some time and finally had the opportunity to create an account.
i am anxious to meet you all and have a support group/active audience over the next crucial months and years following.
background: long-time doubter, giving way to frustration and skepticism beginning about 10 years ago and finally to total admission that this is a cult and that atheism is the way to go.

Welcome fellow Atheist. As David Hume said so well in few words,
Which is more likely, that the whole natural order be suspended, or that a Jewish minx should tell a lie?
Now the best thing to do is make an exit as fast as you can. Every day you stay makes it harder to leave. If you can move if the town you live in is too small to avoid the dubbers. If you can't leave at the moment, start as many new non dubber friends as possible. This will aid you in having support when they pull their inevitable shit of we will ostracize you if you leave crap.

Its like the thank you that you get in an email when you pay your electric bill. For Christians the bible is like a user agreement for software, no one reads it they just scroll to the bottom and hit I agree.

Same old bull shit. Back in the 75 scare and when Communism fell in the 90s they preaced that there would be a time when the elders would have to step in and act on behalf of the GB when communication would be down. People who have invested their life on the lies have look to more of this propaganda with eyes like saucers. They are like the idiots who listed to bagdad bob saying there were not American tanks when CNN had them on camera two blocks away. We need to coin a new word Watchtower bob.
