The conductor of the study said...... "parents, if you support higher education for your children you will lose them. It is the same as if you boiled and ate them. They are gone."
not a cult how?
somehow this weeks book study, which covered some more about baruch, managed to turn it into a slam against education or trying to improve yourself very much.
ok, he didn't "seek great things for himself.
" but to twist that into the diatribe against college education, under the pretense of a bible study, is simply appallingly irresponsible!

do you feel that something has changed within god's organization?
have you noticed that in the past several years there has been a more authoritarian spirit displayed in the publications and from the platform?
i am in the beginning stages of a fade away and wanted to express my thoughts.
Bump with love for the lurkers who now are realizing that there is something terribly wrong with the "truth"

the society is spiritually bankrupt.....that's what we were experiencing before we left.. .
having turned their backs on their history, changed their 'truth' and abused their followers they now cling to a. clerical theology where numbers, be they accurate or not, have become the new truth.
the numbers, financial investments, real estate and blind obedience....to the death if need be....... are the firm pillors the wtbts stands on.. .
Excellent post.
i know somebody who got disfellowshipped...they decided to appeal.
how long does the appeal process usually take?
do they ever get overturned?
The appeal committee is usually handled within a week or so of the initial committee meeting. There are exceptions to this though if there are legal threats and the elders have to communicate with the Death Star. The co usually forms the appeal committee by using the most experienced elders in nearby congregations. I have heard of only one appeal ever being won and it was our dear friend flippers. Most times I think the appeal committee comes in with the goal of validating the prior judgement. Hope this helps.

facebook the association of anti-watchtower activists.
Just my 2 cents. The name could potentially be an obstacle. I showed my still active but wavering wife the video last night and she remarked that even though the efforts are noble that the name validates the stereotype of angry anti watchtower activists. It's funny how our perspective changes as we learn the ttatt.
After sleeping on it this morning she made the same comment. That said, count me in. I have sent in my application.
