her personal statement and experiences within the beroean pickets study groups was one of betrayal where she was taken advantage of financially.
in one text conversation, wendy wiens disfellowshiped susanne and demanded an apology from her.

I think there are a lot of unhappy marriages in “the truth”.
The advice the watchtower gives just doesn’t work.
They need to stop micromanage peoples lives and let them figure it out in their own.
If they did that the religion, if you want to call it that would cease to exist.

Memories of Excessive Laughter
by Sea Breeze injw's are not known for laughter.
there are the rare exceptions.
they are more known for their fear mongering and doomsday scenarios where "the dead shall come to be as manure on the surface of the ground from one end of the earth clear to the other".

My experience with laughter at the Kingdom Hall is a negative one.
Ive noticed many a watchtower study conductor or book study conductor use “humour” to shame those who make mistakes in commenting.
I hate being laughed at. That’s why I don’t comment anymore

gossip
by Nancy1919 ini was once was told by an jw elder it was a rule not to gossip or swear as it could harm someone, but i guess the new light allows this.
it was bad enough when they were calling people worldly now i heard a jw gossiping about someone and it was mean.just another reason i would never go back.

Most hard core jws have a pathetic existence.
Gossip is all they have.
If they were busy doing things that build their feelings of self self worth , they would neither need to or have the time to gossip about others.
I used to gossip, I was pathetic, and I was a full blown active jw.

by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/-kdbs3lcsx8?si=icfla8tzg0p_wdcz.

JW BORG does not have clergy-laity like Christendom! 😄
by BoogerMan in(because they told us so in a wt!.
w71 6/1 p. 330 par.
10 - "another reason why many feel there is no place for them in the service of god is due to the clergy-laity distinction that is fostered in the churches.

No clergy-laity division until a kiddy fidler isn’t reported to the local sherif department.
Then it’s we have clergy privileges

It’s another piece of saleable real estate.
If the land, materials, property taxes and labour are free it’s not very hard to turn a profit

Is it just me, or is Watchtower lowering its standards?
by ukpimo inin the past, we used to hear talks on:.
avoiding sexual immorality and porn, as well as masturbation and other sexual practices.
why evolution cannot possibly be true.

Some witnesses are in the congregation we associate with are lowering their standards.
I’m an inactive publisher. I haven’t reported for probably 6 years or so. Mrs. Hoser rarely goes in service. Probably once or twice per year.
We are 1/3 meeting attendees.
We were shunned socially by the jws for the past decade.
All of a sudden they are nice to us, they invite us to their houses and out for dinner at restaurants.
If it’s “encouragement” it’s not going to change us into model Jehovah’s witnesses.
They might want something from us but we are a boring, boorish couple.
Im not sure what’s up if anything.

Meeting attendance
by Farmer Jim1 infor those still in the organization what is your meeting attendance like these days?.

My area is definitely down.
The town I live in went from 4 to 3 congregations and some Sunday meetings there are scarcely 40 in attendance. Used to be 100 plus.
Another rural congregation just outside of our circuit was 80 plus publishers about 10 years ago. They are now 18.
If you look around the typical demographic in the congregation they are old people. 10 more years and there will be no one left.

2 more years of wasted life.
Depending on how old you are it could be a huge percentage of your remaining years.
2 years you could have 1/2 of your college degree under your belt.
Watchtower steals lives with their hopes and dreams fantasies.
