Absolutely, I had to deal with this when I left 20+ years ago. How could I have been fooled all those years? All that time wasted preaching, teaching, pioneering, eldership, attending all meetings, the assemblies, travelling to conventions, accepting discipline and talks from total imbeciles, etc

All this for nothing, no way, It has to be the TRUTH. It was really tough to admit I was wrong and Quit.

I wasn't supposed to see my 13th birthday when 1975 hit, was terrified everyday that year that I would be destroyed, and here we are it's 2024.

I wish there was an easier way to get through to many of my old friends and family that still won't leave.

I believe that before the flood they were counting months as years. Adam, 930 pre-flood years or months - 77 years old

“language-coordinating congregations will receive separate parcel(s) containing the revised durable power of attorney for health care (dpa-e) for all congregation(s) in their literature group.“.

For JWs, image, status and power is everything. The GB is well aware that removing another member will cause a stain on the whole organization. The chosen by God member can be in a hospital, all plugged in and about to propel himself into heaven, he won't step down, the other members won't allow it. Their position as GBs are too high to leave without repurcussions. If anything, the Org will promote the crap out of the situation and say what a wonderful example he was during his whole JW career, a tribute to his faith while he's on his deathbed. I'm positive that the current GB will never talk or mention this guy again. He screwed up and got kicked out. Their silence is their way of dealing with the aituation and they hope it won't cause too much damage. Anyone being around this Org for many years are very familiar with this MO. - I'm so Fedup with these guys...

Elders are no longer teachers

back in the day when i was a young witness lad, you very much got the impression that at least the training as theocratic teachers was good.. even the bible reading back then had a short introduction and conclusion.

you had to research and prepare your own ministry school talks and then perhaps you would graduate to a half of a 55 minute public talk.

then later if you were a book study conductor, you got to decide which scriptures to read and highlight.

Being a JW and going to meetings is great... if you want someone else to do your thinking.

I was an elder for many years and everything came canned from the Org, the elders just had to serve it, no added thoughts or opinions.

I stopped a long time ago, was just fed-up of all the BS

2022 - 1914 = ?

by fedup in

obviously not the orgs brightest moment for teaching that the generation of 1914 would be alive to see paradise.

forget the "new light" that bought them an extra 100 years, which if any other religion would've done this, the org would scream false religion.

the fact is that for 75 years this #1 recruiting message from the society was a lie.. i asked a current jw to get a calculator and do the math: 2022 - 1914 = an angry reaction.
