in 2008 i was baptized into the truth after leaving a trinitarian faith.
during my eight years as a jehovah’s witness, i strived to keep the standards set by the bible, wt and the faithfull and discrete slave.
but unfortunately, the congregational elders from the kingdom hall i attended were not keeping to jehovah’s standards, hence, wrote my letter of resignation.
Crisis of Conscience is a work of art
But IMHO....it was Ray Franz' In Search of Christian Freedom which was the real clincher.
Crisis of Conscience is readily available on Amazon.
It takes some digging to get In Search of Christian Freedom.
Still waiting for its re-release though

Telltale recently had an outstanding video....the last day or so.
He outlined Jw's as victims. Yes victims. Victims of "brainwashing" & "mind control"" he described.

1. salvation is redefined for the majority of members from justification to survival into a new system..
Salvation is gained by complete, blind and unquestioning faith in the Governing Body,,,to earn survival into the new system. In JW theology.

""I hope that in this debate the video presented at a congress a few years ago in which a mother does not answer the telephone call made by her disfellowshipped daughter will be seen and recorded""
I'm sure that with enough ''leakers'', people who are discontent with the Borg or the Norwegian Gov't looking for information about some American - based religious sect,,,,it will be a matter of time before the Norwegian Gov't catches wind of such videos and they see those videos.
a fascinating look into the human mind, cults, religion, child abuse, and mental illness colliding with government bureaucracy.. 3rd gen and i watched this tonight.
impossible not to see some similarities between watchtower teachings, fear-mongering, and its "compounds".. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scz2x7r_xxc.

Actually the Borg and it's policies have had more far - reaching,, deadlier and damaging policies over a much llonger period of time than the Branch Davidians. When you add - up the blood doctrine, shunning and two witness rule the damage has been more damaging and devastating.
we have all watched some of the documentaries about the church of scientology hiring detectives to stalk and harass their former members,( their "apostates").
i have heard of individual cases of rabid jw elders stalking ex-jws, and of course, one would expect some enforcement of corporate copyright infringement on anti-jw websites.. what were the most outrageous jw "stalking" or investigation stories you remember?.

Ya gotta just love Kevin McFree videos. ROFL
Is he still doing them?
all elders just got letters about this new blood card system .
“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.“.
my questions are - why the revision and what has been revised?.
""Watchtower's official card is simply a "heaven's Gate" Cult suicide pact agreement to prove loyalty.""
To put it quite bluntly, unfortunately, it is what it is.. You can't sugar - coat that. I'm not sure if you're familiar with David A Reed, but he wrote books about that like ''worse than waco''. Just to name one.
Yes,,,more deaths by blood,,,further damage from shunning and 2 witness rule.
