it took the better part of 15 years but i believe we have finally arrived at that point where there is now a critical mass of former witnesses.. thousands of exjws come together on forums like this one and discuss findings, ideas and research.

there have been documentaries and even a movie made about life in the jehovah's witnesses.. ex jw websites, online forums, and discussion boards that set the wheels in motion in the early to late 90s have matured into powerful tools of social change within the organization.. the lies and false doctines taught by the watchtower bible & tract society are plainly accessible with just a cursory google search.. active elders leak boe letters, often weeks before they hit the notice board in a kingdom hall.. social media has allowed exjws to connect with those still in as well as those who have left.. the society have no game plan because information is power and they have lost the information war.

all they can do is cry wolf and warn the rank and file not to listen to apostates.. i don't know what future the society will face in the next ten years, but changing world events, social trends, and reactionary change from headquarters based on their own faulty biblical chronology has got them cornered like a raging animal.. it doesn't look good..

Good summary of the Watchtower's situation. They are definitely losing their ability in growing thier membership. It will be interesting to see what it looks like in 10 years.

It's fun to watch the de-construcion of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.

My perfect paradise house

while browsing throught my facebook timeline today, i came across a post from a facebook "friend" who is a hardcore zealous jw.

he obviously has no idea that i'm an apostate.

and so this person provides me endless entertainment on a daily basis with his delusional posts about the org.. today we had this gem, where he said he had just designed his paradise home in photoshop which i am posting a picture here.

So ask him where he plans on getting the building materials like plumbing, electrical, lumber, paint, bricks, shingles, etc. etc \

because if every one is destroyed accept Jdubs whos gonnamake all this stuff

I think my D.O. Is a closet apostate. References Stanford Prison Study and hints he sometimes disagrees with the Branch

i find it odd that the district overseer today made.

1. zero yes 0 references to the fds in any of his talks.. 2.he also told elders that the brothers worship god and not them.so therefore the elders have no authority to order the friends around.. 3. he also talked about the stanford prison study and said that people who receive authority over others often abuse it.

4. he mentioned that when he disagrees with the branch (aka the fds) he's learned to just do what they say.

Maybe there is a trend towards a coup

i am thinking of sending a simple fb message to all of the jws i know.. "jwfacts.com" with the tag line, "you're in a cult.".

my motivation?

i am disturbed about the fact that these people that pretended to be friends look at me with a negative eye and have no clue as to how they abandoned my girls and i in a desperate time of need over the course of this past year.

It will probably do more harm then good

The positive I see from this is that more and more people that are in cults are waking up.

Due to the internet the truths about these cults are becoming more available. Maybe this leader will not have to answer to these charges but the fact that the world is being made more aware of the religeous manipulation mankind has and is experiencing.
