I think first generation jws are true believers. The ones like my parents that left behind the world and have 60 years of sunk costs in this religion. 2nd generation jws not so much believers and third gen it’s all they know.

72How many TRUE BELIEVERS do you think are left in the Organization?
by pistolpete ini have a few jw relatives who are true believers.
by this i mean, they believe with all their heart that 1914 was the beginning of the last days, that this is the last generation, that we are in the very last of the last hour of this system of things, and that you should obey the governing body even if it does not make sense.
all of them are in their 60s and up into their 90s there is nothing you can say or show them to convince them or even cause a small doubt that the wt is not god organization.

Going to work as usual. It’s a Thursday. Catching up on paperwork at the office. As Jehovah’s witnesses we were raised to treat these days as any other day.

the wt sponsored zoom meetings enables ego maniacs, narcissists to have their influence beamed right into your living room.

No one is forced to have a camera and microphone in their living room. They are guiltshamed but not forced. You can listen with microphone muted and camera off. Just sayin.

What I find disturbing is the encouragement from the organization to ultimately be lazy and steal from productive people.
People that work less in order to take advantage of government programs not intended for them are taking money from people who contribute to society. That’s how it works. It’s not government money, it’s taxpayer money. Somebody busted their ass and got taxed for it and a lazy Jehovah’s Witness took that guys money, ultimately their labour. Totally unethical, and for a religion to promote this behaviour is unacceptable.
Government programs are meant for those with disabilities or some other valid reason that they are unable to have a job so by encouraging publishers to be takers from society, Watchtower is taking funds from the most vulnerable of society.

Maybe the org is fudging the number of memorial partakers upwards. If all of the anointed were dead by now and no Armageddon they would have a serious problem on their hands. Increasing memorial partakers buys them the time that they need to formulate some new bullshit to keep the publishers making them money.

Covid19 deaths in the Jehovah's Witnesses
by yalbmert99 inin a video on the jworg website, governing body stephen lett says that as of december 20, 2020, 7,500 jws have died from covid-19.
strangely enough, the cult never mentions the number of jws who die from refusal of blood transfusions each year… hypocrite..

Human imperfection, church policy or hypocrisy?? Watchtower vs BMG
by lssjr inthis new lawsuit continues to compound undeniable evidence that jehovah’s witnesses is keener in monopolizing "the truth" or making "kingdom assets" an exclusive right, so that they can interests of their "king, jesus christ".
it is clearly evident also the they are willing to fight for frivolous and materialistic rights they believe they are entitled to, but when it comes to child sexual abuse issues and their role, they certainly love to twist and hide behind law, to escape blame and responsibility.. below is the full text from https://avoidjw.org/en/news/watch-tower-bmg-music/.
the court documents are also available for download in the aforementioned link.. further commentary can also be found on watchtower sues bmg rights management over aled jones song.

Watchtower didn’t write the song. Some jw musician wrote the song and signed over the rights to the watchtower religion. If I was that guy I’d be pissed.

Watchtowers next big revenue stream!
by nowwhat? inevidently it would seem the wt sold the rights and will get royalties from "listen obey and be blessed.." this obviously is a trial balloon for what's to come.
kim and mikey alluded to this and i have been wondering why they are planning on spending hundreds of millions on a new movie studio in n.y. and also in australia just for the benefit of the few million jdub's.
well here's the answer, they are going to make money off the royalties from their music and video content selling to other church groups.

Free songwriters, free construction workers, and free lawyers and they still keep begging for money. Jehovah must really be a bad money manager.

Watchtower will probably come out ahead on this one, with having free lawyers and all. They sure can use the money right now to help pay off some child molestation claims.

I miss old posters!
by Biahi inblondie, flipper, shirley w, where are you?
did this site get too republican for you?
i just take those threads with a grain of salt..

I think a lot of the posters have gotten the closure that they needed from being part of the Jehovah’s Witness religion and have been able to finally move on with their lives. I also think that almost everything that could be discussed has been discussed.
