Welcome!
I was honest and stated my doubts about the generation teaching and the g.b. being led by god.
I'm wondering how often this elder has already heard, or thought, these same doubts.

New "donation" arrangement begins to FAIL
by Tech49 inso here we are, almost a year into the "new" congregation donation arrangement.
and its beginning, as was predicted, to fail miserably, and to have direct negative consequences on the poor sheep.. let me give you a little experience, directly from our congregation of about 80 publishers.
back in may, after reading the letter about the "new" arrangement, the elder body decided to "donate" the extra funds on hand to wt, as directed.

WT needs to rely on jehovah for financial support and stop relying on imperfect humans. WT is always telling the sheeples to rely on god and he will provide, so where is he now? If he really is an all-powerful god that created everything, he could create a few gold bars to cover his expenses.

Now, they've been at his workplace to look for him
Yeah, that's when I'd tell them that they would have to pay my employer for the privilege of conversing with me.
Now, all of the sudden they want to visit.
Chances are that if he cancels and avoids them, they'll just as suddenly disappear again. "Well Br. CO, we tried..."

The WTBTS and Elders have too many stupid rules!
by RULES & REGULATIONS ini hated ministry book bags.i hated coming out of my home with the book bags looking like i was going to a seminar.so,i starting going to the ministry school and sunday bible meetings holding only the required books for that day in my hand.. for the sunday meetings,i would just carry the song book,bible and watchtower magazine in my hand.
no book bag!
for the ministry school,i would just carry just what necessary for the evening.

I think most JWs have hemorrhoids, those elders should have told you to get on that bandwagon, too! -

Unevenly yoked - it does work!!!
by quellycatface injust wanted to share with my friends, old and new, i got married to an "unbeliever" 11 years ago.. at the weekend we had our marriage blessed in our local parish church with a little party after.. my husband always supported my religious convictions until i disassociated myself in december 2013.. don't deprive yourself of love just because of the jw's.
life is too short.. god bless.

But if I marry a non-JW, she might want to engage in bedroom activities not approved by WT!
And on the subject of marrying a non-JW, where I live it's now legal for me to marry a dude!
Or, I could marry that JW sister out4good4 described as "overweight body, pushing 40 and not particularly attractive character." Say, would she happen to have an even less desirable, single, older sister that's a dirt-broke pioneer with absolutely no sense of humor?
Decisions, decisions...

Similar to JWdaughter, I get the borg's website, then wikipedia, then the poisoning and some other articles, then JW facts.
That's the advantage of WT having only one official pro-JW website. It leaves lots of room on the first page of google for TTATT.

Governing Body Member Stephan Lett Lies On JW.TV
by Finkelstein ini thought it would be important to clearly point in the recent talk by governing body member stephan lett, that he did in fact deliberately lie concerning what he described as lies and false information by apostates, concerning the organization being permissive toward people in the organization who had been involved in pedophilia.
the truth of the matter is thats exactly what the organization has been doing and perhaps for a long time.
the recent candace conti law suit where she was awarded 28 million dollars was levied against the wts for its irresponsible behavior by the elders who gave no notification of the accused jonathan kendrick that he had been charged with pedophilia and spent months in jail for his actions .

Both of my grandmother's converted.... My parents talked and decided to have me live with my grandmother.
So, both of your grandmothers apostatized from the religions of their birth. Your family shouldn't be surprised that you left the JWs, you are following in their footsteps.
And WELCOME!
