i've been wondering about this for some time.
if there are 60,000+ registered users on here, what percentage are actual non-dfed or non-daed witnesses?
if it was 1/3, that would be over 20,000 active/inactive witnesses that post and read these pages- and that's huge.
I'm officialy still in. But lost my believe in the watchtower organisation. I'm attending sometimes for keeping my family together.
No guilt, i'm beyond that point.
15 years ago I read Ray Franz, and new enough.
It feels like losing my believe in Santaclaus.
I'm 4th generation JW.
I hate the religion. Got the stamp JW when I was born...
i'm sort of angry right now.. no, not angry..... i'm shaky.
at least, when i lift my cup of coffee to my lips, sitting here at starbucks, my hand is trembly.. i hate that!.
the power they have to still reach me on some hidden point that hides in the corners of my very being.... .
Scary how programmed JW's are, we were brainwashed! It took my years to become myself again and stop listening to those idiots. Although I visit the KH sometimes for keeping up family relations, I hate this religion! It's very hard to stay away for ever, because I don't want to lose my children and some important family relations... I wish i'm once reaching a point to say goodbye to this instant and insane religion.
I don't like this picture. Because of the racist nature of it. If it was a white hand, would she stop then? This lonely pioneer sister that has her needs.. Why is it a nice black person that we have to care for?!?
i am curious of any of the members comes from the netherlands and wich particular congregation, i myself was in emmen where bethel was.
maybe we know eachother.
bedankt!.
I'm from the Netherlands, NIETS TE DANKEN.
I cannot tell from what congregation, because i'm still attending, not regular but sometimes.
I hate this religion but I don't want to lose my family.
friends,.
as i mentioned in an earlier post, the pictures of the dictators on the wall at the "court" on page 31 of the 2011-03-15 wt, contains great similarities with gb members losch & jackson.
it seems to be a hidden joke of the brooklyn graphics department.
Friends,
As I mentioned in an earlier post, the pictures of the dictators on the wall at the "Court" on page 31 of the 2011-03-15 WT, contains great similarities with GB members Losch & Jackson. It seems to be a hidden joke of the Brooklyn graphics department. Maybe it's a warning sign of someone at the graphics department. For me it's sure, they are Losch & Jackson, they are photoshopped (rotated twice + hair Losch is changed of colour).
Compare it yourself:

well here goes... i apologize in advance if this turns into a long and disjointed rant, but i just have to begin typing in order to keep from exploding.
i realize that what im about to say could seriously jeopardize my anonymity, but i think ive reached the point that i just dont care.
i want this to be over.. let me explain what caused me to rip up a letter and get up and walk out in the middle of an elders meeting two weekends ago.. our boe has been embroiled in a nasty fight for the past 2 years over a certain brothers business dealings.
This reminds me of the story of my father, who was secretary. He told me that the elders at the local elder meetings were so divided, so they were swearing and cursing each other!
Unbelievable, but true.
s-303 form 1988 .
today i uploaded to my blog a new article detailing the information watchtower has historically asked circuit overseers to gather during their bi-annual visits to congregations of jehovahs witnesses.
the article is titled s-303 form 1988 and is available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2011/05/s-303-form-1988.html.
It's clear a "how many" business corporation. They love numbers!

i do not know how the blogger who posted this infamous wt cover (5/15/84) got all the names of those who posed for this magazine cover, or whether the names are even correct, but if he got it right, man, what a provocative statement.. .
Great posting, great image!
