A saying about not nourishing little men who live under bridges comes to mind.
Don't waste your time people.
hi, i am also a practicing jehovah's witness and very proud of it,to say the very-very least..!
i am a middle-aged man with many decades of being a witness of jehovah god in england.. this important letter is personally to you, just as many of the bible's 88 letters are to be taken personal by you the reader.
i am writing to you to urge you to take stock of your life, think what your future holds for you.

i heard that 3 brothers have resigned from the writing department recently.
does anyone have any information about this?.
.
Even if true, it means nothing unless one or more comes out publicly about the situation.
There are thousands of GB ball-washers waiting in the wings at Beth-hell at this moment who would gladly take a position writing that drivel.
want to know how a lie can turn into a compliment?
only in the jw mindset!!!.
we got called into the dreaded back room after meeting to find two elders wanting to discuss a 'serious' matter with us.
So why are you even playing this game?
Even if you decide to remain in the KH knowing its bullshit, you have a few simple things that can almost protect you from anything. First, you never go into the back room without knowing the subject being discussed first. In this example, you would simply say no brother has come to you with an issue to resolve and until they do so, you don't have anything to say.
My bet would be that no-balls elder would never say a thing knowing what you've stated.
Actually this whole story sounds like bullshit. Never mind.
recently i had a conversation with a close witness friend.
i have always viewed him as moderate.
not full j-dub nut bag witness style.
Even when I was 'in' it was somewhat surprising that the borg didn't push home schooling. Lets face it, JW kids free themselves from the cult by seeing that the rest of the world is having fun, and by learning things like evolution in high school.
I really hope there isn't a push going on toward this home school bullshit.
don't you really feel like your in marketing?.
Any backlash to report from those inside?
It really does seem like its almost silly. Poor Jah, replaced by an internet site.
this is an organization that has an apocalyptic end-of-days strategic vision that will eventually have to be defeated, general martin e. dempsey, u.s. chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, said on thursday.. .
he sounds like he's talking about jws.
but he's actually referring to isis.
People like to think they are 'special' or that they live in 'special times'.
Religions will always be there to capitalize on these weak links. Extracting money and labor from such people will go on for a long time.
It will probably take thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years for evolution to remove such delusion.
isn't going to be wonderful??.
not being there..
The strategy has shifted from recruitment to retention.
The aging JW population has little to look forward to (death) and most have lost someone already (parents, siblings, even children).
To "keep them in" the WTS is hammering away at this idea of the resurrection. Emotional claptrap is the easiest way to leave a deep impression on the minds of the JW.
Combine that with ever present guilt trips and the JW is simply going to follow orders so they can make it into the new system and see their dead relatives.
They suck.
he's gone apostate!
as some may remember, when i started my fade, my husband freaked out and thought i was going to leave him.
he wanted to see someone about our marriage.
Wow, good story.
Was he a convert after he became a psychiatrist?
i know someone who has been at bethel 2.5 years as a temporary worker.
he recently recieved a 3 year extension through 2017. i read his letter.
he is being extended as a 3-year temporary worker, even though he's already been there nearly 3 years already!
Do the temps get the huge paycheck that the regular Bethelites get?
I guess my satire isn't obvious enough.

Do the temps get the huge paycheck that the regular Bethelites get? Or do they completely fend for themselves?
Really, what benefit do you get from being labelled regular vs temporary? Bragging rights?
