a sister I met in my mates old cong who would have been about 50 at the time and who even at that age was a very fine looking woman indeed, the well known story about her was that she was DF'ed after starting a RV with a young guy but ended up having an affair with him, she had a gorgeous daughter as well, I often wonder what happened to her.

Difficulty fading out
by Emily1987 inthis is my first post on here so i apologize that it is like an essay!.
my husband and i are currently 'fading out' of the truth.
we stopped preaching in may 2016 and limited meeting attendance in january 2017 and stopped completely in june 2017. my main reason for this was my whole life i have been doing things to please others, even getting baptized to please my mum.

yes lots of us have and elders cannot be trusted in any way shape or form, at the first contact they make towards you tell them in no uncertain terms we are not interested in meeting with them or discussing any accusations that might have been made against you, if we have any issues we will contact you, after that do not answer any calls, texts emails etc,and inform them not to make anymore contact with you, you are being very sensible with social media profiles etc, also any remaining contact you have with your jw friends and family be very careful what topics you discuss and be prepared with the idea that conversations could be recorded, be careful with that Christmas tree also, but good luck with your fade you've made the right choice, just be very careful, the bottom line is when you are in this fade mode jw's of any level cannot be trusted.

So my PIMO Younger Brother Tried To Kill Himself Today
by pale.emperor inwe all know that this cult will drive those trying to leave to desperate measures, and today by brother was very nearly one of those statistics.
he slashed his thigh with a kitchen knife and was bleeding out until he called the police.. i got a call on my way home from work from a police officer, coincidentally it was one of my old friends from school who's now a cop.
he told me my brother is in hospital after an attempted suicide and has lost some blood but will be ok. but i should get to the hospital as he's asking for me.

it just goes to show that the creative reports they publish must be treated with scepticism, the reality is the number really getting is a fraction of that.

Less magaiznes per year
by punkofnice inonly 6 very thin magazines per year and then recycling the propaganda within.. how are your local congregations spinning this?.
i heard a local congo-abongo-i is launching a campaign™ to place as amny magazines as possible in the month (this or next...not sure..sources sketchy).
which i find a bit strange.

Dreawyeather, so the R&F are using these vids to replace the rags? I've never been shown a vid, well I've not been called on in over 20 years, not that I would look at any of their vids, this vid presentation surely is a nonsense, how many people have the time to stand there and watch a vid via a iPad being shoved in their faces? we all knew how little the rags were ever read.

where the growth comes from in Africa and still parts of South America makes no real difference in the grand scheme of things, billions on this planet have never heard of them and their message nor are ever likely to, even the growth on the areas I mentioned will come to a stop sooner or later, how many are leaving? that is the more important issue.

Stop harassing jws
by pomo6780 inwe want people to learn ttatt.
we have numerous resources online to draw jws in so that they will wake up.
however, i've noted some radical methods that have been used by fellow exjws, and quite frankly, this must stop.

I never miss a chance to speak with them at a cart, never, only last week I had an in depth discussion with two ladies at a cart situated outside a local railway station, I focused on the recent BBC news item on more child abuse cover ups, they naturally responded with their stock excuses, I was able to tie their argumentation up in knots, who knows how it left them.

Why the move to Warwick?
by optimisticskeptic ini've seen a lot of posts around and about warwick and the goings on there but was curious as to people's theories on why the move to warwick?
granted there's the obvious point about all of the money from the sale of properties in brooklyn but for as massive as warwick is, the purchase of an apartment complex there, multiple sites and buildings i would be surprised if they had much left from all of the profits.
so beyond a financial incentive why move?

DoC its not quite as easy as that shifting cash one one corporation to another? a corporation as controversial as the WTS are being watched through a fine toothed comb after their child abuse cases are reported on an almost day to day basis, the punishments from the courts and governments are even more extreme if they are found to be doing this.

where is the printing and bookbindery done in the USA ? is it Walkill? if printing eventually is phased out worldwide and the very small amount they need is sourced out then Patterson,Walkill and Warwick and WT Farms will be even more surplus to requirments and even more staff will be culled, the next step must be the future of Selters as Europe is all but finished as a growth area for them.

I cant believe there would be a DC in Indonesia with over 40k in attendance in Jakarta, a Muslim country although somewhat moderate, is this correct, the publisher rate is just over 26k yet this convention drew in almost double the publisher rate, something doesn't add up.
