Ex-jw Fifth interviews Bethelite from 1975. Well worth watching!
by Diogenesister inanother great interview by fifth here.
this lady was at bethel in 1975 and reminisces that many women at bethel expressed enormous regret at not having a family.
it seems that many witnesses back then were aware that watchtower really didn't know what they were talking about when it came to making predictions.. https://youtu.be/7dyooih3fji.

“Ex-JW Fifth,” whose name is Cliff, has a number of interviews uploaded to YouTube. Each is excellent and well worth your time to listen. His own awakening journey is both riveting and heartbreaking as well—available also in Spanish and Portuguese, two languages in which he became fluent while a super-dub.

Memorial Attendance: The Single Most Impactful TTATT "Witness" to Family and Friends
by AMNESIANO inanyone who has awakened to ttatt and conscientiously left the organization--especially a once-prominent individual from a prominent multi-generational tribe of jws-- after decades of devout, high-profile "serve-us," who continues to put in an annual appearance at the memorial thoroughly subverts and undermines, by this one act, any hope s/he may entertain that his/her departure will stir family or former friends to question the whole watchtower bamboozle.
by this one concession s/he assigns him-/herself by every single jw to their handy and dimissive purgatory: the "spiritually-weak.".
nothing blasts a louder, clearer, and more deliberate message to the jws who personally knew you and those familiar with your jw bona fides that you are not merely "not making the meetings" or "spiritually-weak" but that there is a conscientious reason you have rejected the entire watchtower society life than choosing to forego what they know you know to be their one-and-only holy and sacred event of the year, the lord's evening meal.

Thank you!

"Even if this wasn't the truth, I would still stay. This is the best life to live..."
by HereIgo ini was recently told this by a jw family member when trying to get through to them.
does this quote indicate that maybe such ones have considered that the jw's may not have the truth after all?
or is that just my wishful thinking?

This disingenuous claim on the part of JWs is one I believe clearly illustrates their insufferable arrogance and the hypocrisy of their conceit that their religion is the one-and-only Truth by which one can be saved.
Below are variations of one basic response with which an active, awakened JW might counter such dishonesty in order to start to awaken others:
-If that's true, why do we go out in service? That's the same response we frequently encounter while going door-to-door by those who have their own religion and are happy with it. If it doesn't matter, then, whether one's religion is The Truth or not as long as their members are fulfilled and happy, why are we instructed to overcome this so-called objection by trying to convince them they must leave the religion they feel is the best way of life for them even if it's not The Truth and become a JW in order to be saved?
-If that's true, why do we go out in service? Since we are taught that there is only The [one-and-only] Truth or [all else that is] False Religion, you believe that it's acceptable to Jehovah to practice a religion that is not The Truth as long as it seems to the one practicing to be the best way of life--like you?
What's happened to the scripture at Romans 10:2 that's constantly drilled into us: "For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God but not according to accurate knowledge"?
-If that's true, why do we go out in service? If it doesn't matter whether one is practicing The Truth as long as he feels it's the best way of life for him, why is this position not also the prerogative of the non-religious person whose secular life he feels suits him best?
-If you believe that, then which of the following is the case: One need not have The Truth to be saved? Or you're okay with being destroyed by God at Armageddon?
-If this is not The Truth it's by-definition false. So now it's our false religion that is better than everybody else's false religion, that we are required to recruit people to even though Jehovah will destroy all false religion?
-----
I believe Herelgo is on point in his/her OP: the assertion itself betrays that one secretly feels impelled to have a just-in-case defense (both for himself privately and for others if the subject arises) for remaining in a religion that is not what it professes to be, i.e., The Truth that leads to eternal life. The assertion is irrefutable evidence of the existence of a significant lurking doubt a person feels the need to justify to himself.

Nothing blasts a louder, clearer, and more deliberate message to the JWs who personally knew you and to those familiar with your JW bona fides that you are not merely "not making the meetings," "inactive," or "spiritually-weak," but that there is a conscientious reason you have rejected the entire Watchtower Society life than choosing to forego what they know you once believed to be Jehovah's must-attend, one-and-only, holy/sacred event of the year for his people, the Lord's Evening Meal.
You hand them the very justification they so relish to self-righteously label you as a "submarine Witness" deserving of Jehovah's, and more importantly, their judgement.
Much more tragically, though, you squander your prize opportunity to nudge thinking ones to seriously ponder the possible reason for your shocking departure. Again, all accomplished without any confrontational unpleasantness.
Attending the Watchtower's Lord's Evening Meal, even though likely well-intentioned or for many understandably unavoidable at present, is still a colossally misguided go-along-to-get-along concession for anyone whose genuine and sincere intention or desire it is to awaken others to TTATT.

My thoughts on the shunning part at the convention
by stuckinamovement inthe wts has gone off the rails and is "unrepentantly" hateful.
they are blatantly requiring mothers and fathers to disown/hate their own children that they have loved and cared for since birth simply because they don't comply with the orgs demands.
how is this love?

NEW BLOOD CARD w/ FORCED COMPLIANCE also LEGALISM
by apocalypse ini have looked around and i don't see this covered, so i am starting a thread.. 1) the new "blood card" goes beyond being just a "blood card".. 2) a new edict concerning compliance.. pay attention to the changes.. first, the new card is termed "advance decision to refuse specified medical treatment".
the big change with the card itself is that it includes an 'override' of your "power of attorney".
this is huge.
-

AMNESIANO
There has never previously been any requirement that copies of the card be submitted to witnesses and/or the BoE.
This is new and very concerning for the secretly-awakened, still active JW patient who wants to maintain his/her standing in the congregation while preserving his/her freedom to exercise confidential choice with regard to consent to/refusal of blood transfusion--without judicial interference and repercussions.
Something ominous is afoot.
