I was surprised that there are half (or more) million dollar estates the GB lives in. Gated communities. Close to the Warwick site. How long has this been going on?

I have been comforted by other types of funerals/memorials but the JW memorial is a crass advertisement for the borg. Makes me madder than a comfort.

I am getting disfellowshipped
by CitizenofEarth inmaybe some of you remember me, maybe not.
for general information i am now 19 years old, and living by myself.
for the past 1 year (more like 1.5 years) i have been quietly fading out of the hypocrisy of this organization, but since i still live in the town i grew up in it has been hard, and filled with different challenges.

Lesson #1. They have absolutely no authority over you. They are a made up, unqualified committee of uneducated men. Don't go. Forget them. Move on. Be happy.

Is The Delusional Governing Body Geting More Delusional?
by Brokeback Watchtower inas these last days linger on and the end never comes, and more and more people leave the grips of the watchtower indoctrination machine, and it's financial situation gets worse and worse, i think we should expect the gb decision maker to become more and more delusional from the stresses of running a rapidly failing business.. https://www.psychologytoday.com/conditions/delusional-disorder.
delusional disorder is a rare condition and difficult to study; as a result, it is not widely discussed in clinical research.
while the cause is unknown, some studies suggest that people develop delusions as a way to manage extreme stress or deal with a history of trauma.

Well, in the past, you hardly were exposed to the GB except thru assemblies or an occational quote in a mag. We had no idea how weird the individuals were. Now that they are so out front it is impossible to hide their lack of education, morals, insanity etc. I now say the borg really does embrace a trinity....Jah, Jesus, and the GB. In fact, the GB seems to have more power than the other two.

The Perfect Storm in 2018?
by Wild_Thing ini have been sadly watching as the number of jws in other countries are decreasing (for the most part), while the numbers in the us are strangely increasing.
while i question the organization's self reporting numbers, i think 2018 may be the year for another mass us exodus.
leah remini's show will be focusing on jws in her show on a&e.

It seems obvious they are liquidating. I think MANY will watch Remini's show. Almost everyone you meet either knows a JW or has one in their family....they will watch. I think many in the borg will secretly watch. the whole language of the JW has completely changed since the 60's. The term "Governing Body" make me sick. It's like a sci fi movie.

Since they have sold the properties in Brooklin and are closing branches as well as selling the Kingdom Halls I think they are liquidating. Eventually they will be only on-line. Then they will die.

committees
by dogisgod ini have had some conversations with ex-jw women and i am more than a little concerned at how, if a female, is treated in committee meetings.
it sure seems (i experienced this when i was young) that the elders have a commonality in trying to create such shame and sexual guilt (especially where none is deserved) that it is beyond abuse.
i know there are a lot of former elders here.

What Makes Someone Become a JW?
by minimus inmy excuse is that i was born in the religion.
but if someone wasn’t, why would they become one?.

I'm a born in. I believe my mother had post partem depression. I think most who join are looking for direction in their lives. Want definitions. Want someone to tell them what and how to live. A lot of emotional wrecks and mental issues. If someone believes the common misconception that the bible is Gods Word they can be misled.
