  what it’s like to leave the jehovah’s witnesses.

  in ‘i felt the end before it came: memoirs of a queer ex-jehovah’s witness,’ daniel allen cox reflects on losing his faith after spending his early years waiting for armageddon.

  Fitness centers can be just places to meet people and hang out and stuff.

  Just things you never hear at the kh platforms

  What`s the reason some of you think JW`s are in decline ?

  from what i can see no such thing is happening.i became a jw in 1960 and remained for about 30 years and the numbers of active jw`s today in the world are far greater than they were back then.. and here in australia the numbers are much higher than they were back then .. so i don`t see that their in decline or have any worries about losing support .. don`t the numbers speak for themselves ?.

  is it just wishful thinking on your part ?.

  My old congregation is being shuttered

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. beliefs

  i just found out from my jehovah's witness cousin that my old congregation is being shuttered due to lack of elders, less than 20 members attending, and that the congregation cannot meet their monthly expenses.. here is a congregation that was started in 1975 with less than 15 members.

  it grew to 185 members in the 1990's.

  the congregation grew so large that the elders decided to split the congregation in two.

  Yes the spiritual chariot is moving so fast these days.

  This religion is sinking fast.

  A good number are waiting for the new world to procreate. And many are taking the GB2.0 all there time effort and money

  You see that's the example of a "ponzi scheme".

  They take what you ""have now" with something better down the road.

  Cults never deliver on what they promise.

  That's where they get you. Something in the future and taking what you have now ,,but ,,never coming through.

  Taking your time,,energy and money what you never get back.

  Barbara said last nite that it was in fact Fred Franz,,,who was the real "enforcer"" of the Borgs iron-fisted policies. Which are carried out to this day. Franz is where these 'extreme policies' were trumped up.

  I can't remember the exact words. Along those lines.

  We all have Fred Franz to thank for this.

  LongHaired Girl nailed it 100%.

  Its shameful what the Borg does to people.

  And they just gaslight the sheeple for reading too much into 'it'.

  The Borg was f$@#ed 20 years ago or so as the internet flourished. Its been downhill for them ever since and they can never recover.

  Thats the beauty of it all. The Borg never saw or anticipated any of it,,,they never seen the internet age coming.

  Their printing age drying up and their lies being uncovered.

  Poetic justice.
