  we exchanged the usual polite conversation.

  hi all.. it's being a while that i don't share in the forum.

  after moving to another country and finding a job, i asked my congregation in my country to send my publishing card here.

  once i did it, i stopped attending meetings.

  What's destroying Watchtower!

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  for me, beyond any shadow of a doubt, it's the extreme shunning policy.. at a recent sunday meeting, i listened to a complete brainwashed sister saying how important it was that we stick to the shunning policy even if it is a close relative.. i just thought.

  wtf.

  there is a big difference between the brainwashed and the awoken class!.

  the hardcore line with stunning has been in force since the "Great Apostasy" and with Franz and others leaving in the early 1980's did it hurt them that much? I'm not sure it did, the R&F embraced the martyrdom that came with it, it made them feel self righteous and important, the INTERWEB and child abuse lawsuits are killing them and their ridiculous doomsday end times dogma that have run out of time.

  for the december monthly broadcast instead of jws from around the world waving to you and items of how to shun people we will have to make do with repeats of of old gilead videos that have been on the jw website for a good while.

  I had a chat today with two of them at their carts about the recent child abuse scandals , they were just clueless, absolutely brain dead, how do the R&F and their leaders think that the world out there takes anything they do seriously, they are a laughing stock, unless there is some radical changes in their leadership and doctrine they will just slip away into oblivion.

  Another congregation bites the dust

  went to the meeting last night with my believing wife.

  the co was visiting and delivered a really cult-ish talk on loyalty but that's another story.. they made the announcement that starting january 1st they were going to have only 3 congregations in this town instead of 4.. they are dissolving one and growing the territories of the remaining 3. the reason given is that many of the elders are getting up there in age and can't do what they used to do.

  basically not enough elders and ministerial servants...or even men reaching out for that matter.

  lets hope they see it and its reported back to HQ, its was originally on Reddit, it really is embarrassing and as has been mentioned many many times a complete waste of everyone's time and energy, surely these stupid carts cant have any future.
