1 - still think it's the truth ...came to this site cause danger is your middle name.. 2 - concerned, smoething's amiss but still believe.

3 - 98% sure it's bs, but still go for / with family.

4 - anger / denial, inactive with minimal attendance (ie memorial, spec talk etc).

Our whole family is 6 or more (now SBNR).

Waking up your spouse

i am aware this has to be done quite carefully, but how?

while many may complain and see the hypocrisy within the kh's, maybe even with the gb, how does one bring up doctrine issues?

i surely can not tell my husband to "go look what jwfacts.com says".

Fernando

Welcome, All for show, and a very smart move in not crossing that line.

Many here have observed that questions work best.

Simple.

Strategic.

Incremental.

What's "THE END" going to look like?

by Coded Logic in

okay, so its no secret that many of us are hoping to see the downfall of the wtbts (or at least a mass exodous of jws away from them anyway).

i was wondering if you had any thoughts on what this might look like?.

we all know that most every jw has their doubts, large and small, but is afraid to speak due to the illusion of unanimity and self censorship .

Fernando

"The Illusion of Unanimity and Self Censorship".

Interesting, and whilst I'm sure these play a role, I doubt I ever thought that everyone believed everything the GB said, except maybe in regard to their divine appointment over us dumb sheeple in 1919. How stupid we were...

yesterday a gentleman came by to install some peripherals for my projector room and as he was looking for something to test the connections and picture i told him to look around in the media center for a video.

i cam out about 3 minutes later to see how things were coming and i noticed that i still had a dvd from the jehovah's witnesses.

i bent down to pick it up and as soon as i did he asked me if i was one.. i told him no, but i use to be.

Can you help with a definition for Evolution?

by Fernando in

i'm trying to pin down a definition for evolution, hopefully in plain english, and some questions have come to mind:.

is this a fool's errand?.

has evolution itself evolved?.

Fernando

Thank you hamsterbait and Coded Logic.

Hi Everyone!

i haven't been here in quite a while and thought i'd pop by.

i do lurk at times, i confess lol.

after reading the recent publications at the new golden calf (jw.org), my mind is kind of blown that jw's are still not seeing through the constant adjustments, clarifications, new light and reversals.
