Divine retribution perhaps? I wonder if they used that loving kind Christian lawyer Vincent Toole to tactfully help them sue all those companies arrrfff!

Hi NYChic, and welcome. The Watchtower bible and tract society is and always was a publishing company. With modern technology advancing so quickly, printing is becoming less and less. Everyone has a tablet or smart phone these days and can access publications online. The WT has no choice but to sell off its buildings as no longer required. What's more, with the halt in construction work, it is clear they are desperate for money. The wells are drying up quickly. It will be interesting to see how things go at Warwick. -

cognac. I am convinced they are keeping a close eye on me. The CO is a smart man. He is also a GB worshipper like most of the elders in my hall. Intuitively he knows I disagree with WT teachings, but has the good sense not to rock the boat. I think they were checking to see if I had filled in the card shortly after they gave them out. A loyalty spot check I guess. I have never ever been asked in the past to have my blood card photo copied. As it turned out he said the photocopier wasn't working at the back of the KH and handed it back to me!! -

It's absolutely unbelievable. The professional medics should be allowed to do what is absolutely needed to save life. Note: one elder in our hall several months ago asked if I could give him my no blood card. The elders are aware I have issues with the no blood policy. As it happened, I had one just filled in to appease the elders and it was ' in my bag'. He said he needed to photocopy it for his records?? I felt he was just checking up on me. -

I miss my family so much. I thought I was over it but I have breakdowns every few months thinking about my family
by macys inas most of you know i have been shunned by my family for 2 years because of a photo posted on facebook of me kissing another girl at a party.
the matter was not dealt with fairly but it is over now and i am 100% certain that jdub org is a cult.
but i miss my family so much.

Hi Macy's, I would go with your idea to get reinstated (as hard as that will be) and then slowly fade. DONT give the 7 men at the world headquarters the power to take your family/relatives away from you. You are a young person and not worth the trauma at your young age. once faded, you still have normal contact with your family and there is nothing the elders in your hall can do about it. -

Survey: How long were you in the cult vs what year you were baptized
by ILoveTTATT2 inhi people,.
i want as much data as possible on the effect of the internet on the time captured by the cult.. please answer the three following questions about yourself or about someone you know (for example, if your parents or grandparents were jw's and left).
1) were you raised as a jw, or did you convert?.

How do you overcome SHUNNING after leaving the organization and move on?
by suavojr init amazes me how many of you have left it all behind, including family, brothers and sisters, friends and a full network of people.
i for one cannot find the courage to breakaway, and this causes me great anxiety and stress.
it eats me alive to think that if i open my mouth everyone i know will simply turn their back on me.

SHUNNING - Unchristian Psychological Torture
by EdenOne insome time ago, i wrote an extensive article on shunning and published it on my website.
since that website had views on doctrinal matters that no longer reflect my current stand, i took the website down.
however, my views on this matter are still current, and for the benefit of everyone here, i'm going to post the article here.

Hi Eden. I will have a good read of your article on shunning when I get time. If I had known that the 'society' had such a practice when I decided to get baptised, I would never have got baptised. The practice of shunning anyone who simply chooses to leave the Borg is disgusting. It is a cruel practice that must stop.
