i left wt, 18 years ago.
never thought that i would have witness such a massive doctrinal and structure changes as well.
i find it hard to recognize that religion.. what i can tell, like all of ex jw's is that wt going down.. their corporate directors know it.
I worked for a company that was going broke. The general manager lied about the financial health of the company to the workers so that they wouldn’t look for a job elsewhere. The manager’s end game was to keep the company going as long as possible so she and her husband could keep getting a fat pay check.
Why would watchtower tell the truth about the numbers? Everyone might quit.
i was talking to a friend who is an elder in a congregation near belfast city over in northern ireland.
he was telling me that several of the sisters wanted to put fresh flowers in the hall on a weekly basis just to pretty the place up.
he said "sure, why not, it's a great idea, and the congregation will reimburse the costs as long as they aren't too expensive.
One of our elders is a HVAC technician. The furnace in the Kingdom Hall quit on one of the coldest days of winter and he wasn’t allowed to fix the fucking furnace until the coordinator received direction from the LDC
it's been 12 years since i submitted my resignation letter, and stopped playing by their rules.. in a spurt of manic rationality, i blew up the bridge, sky high.
knowing that the diseased organ would need to be forever removed, away from anything remotely functional in my mind, body, and soul.
lest i be tempted to return.... so, i left.
I read feeling good many years ago. I can’t really remember much from the book other than I read it.
these come from the golden age of june 8, 1932:.

The jws were anti vaccination back then. That is what the needle full of pus is referring to. Some jw families I grew up with in the 60’s and 70’s still felt vaccines were wrong and didn’t allow their kids to get vaccinated but I’m not sure what watchtowers official stance was In those years.
when the israelites left egypt in 1513 b.c.e., they may have numbered more than three million.
spanning three or even four generations.

FedUpJW beat me to it
Hell Sometimes I have a hard time making it downstairs when I have to take a crap.
banks create money “out of thin air.”empirical studies have been undertaken to prove this thesis and this is the conclusion:.
in the 5,000 year history of banking, banks have been thought of as “deposit taking institutions which lend money”.. 1. what is the legal reality?
banks don’t take deposits and don’t lend money.the public is under this false impression on purpose because the language of banks is not legal language.. so--what is a “deposit”?a deposit is not actually a deposit.
Venezuela had a socialist regime. When money enters the economy without being backed up by products or services is when hyper inflation occurs.
in a nutshell.
a group of about 6 women who have been friends practically their whole lives that i personally know are leaving there jw husbands.
my understanding is they're starting to see the hypocrisy of the .org.
Regardless of what the bible or jws say, people are animals that are cognizant of time. We are looking to secure resources for our future. Mentally in jws accomplish this by their paradise teaching.
When a jw woman wakes up she may realize that the jw man she is with can’t provide her with resources in her old age. She decides to move on.
This happens in the “world” a lot with women between the age of 35 to 45 if they realize they’re with a loser man. They’re still young enough to attract a new mate so they move on.
When your woman starts going to the gym, dressing better, getting a new hairstyle and makeup it might not be for you.

Fiat currency is the backbone of our modern economy. The only reason I have a job and a house is because someone at a bank made up some money.
our illustrious leader, justin trudeau, has just announced a half a $billion fund that will be given out to "trustworthy" news sources.. of course this will have nothing todo with the fact that there will be a federal election next year and there are plenty of bad things to highlight in the liberals record.
they will obviously dole the money out in a totally impartial manner, even handing funding to reporters that are critical of them and trudeau.
"trustworthy" news sources won't just be a euphemism for "writes positive stories about me, avoids negative ones".
I’m sure the Communist Broadcasting Channel will receive a disproportionate share of the money and Ezra Levants Rebel Media’s application will get lost in the bureaucracy.

I attended the meeting on Sunday when this watchtower was considered. Some were visibly upset and one sister left partway through.
I refrained from commenting as I don’t think I could have maintained proper decorum. Some of the comments from others were outside of the watchtower paragraphs.
Watchtower policy causes mental instability. Being constantly told you are not good enough eventually takes its toll on ones health. The internal politics and bullying that goes on in the congregation are sometimes intolerable.
This article is another form of abuse to keep the sheeples in the kindumb haul. Exacerbate mental health issues of the congregation by excessive demands and making them feel worthless(as if life isn’t hard enough already) and providing the solution in the same congregational arrangement.
