How Could We Have Been So Heartless?
by BluesBrother ini am addressing here those who, like me, spent decades in the organisation that we called “the truth”.
perhaps like me you were brought up in it from an early age.
looking back now i wonder that i could have been so heartless as to believe that the mass slaughter of billions of people was “good news”.

Brainwashed and indoctrinated from birth, no wonder I never saw through it all.

Expectation vs Reality
by joey jojo in.
just wanted to put this out there for any lurkers.. as someone that grew up during the 70s and 80s, we were promised that we would be in the first picture long ago.
if you are still on the fence, please let this sink in for a while..

My parents joined in the 1940's. At least Little George was never going to school in this old system. You should see him now, nearly 80, feels 90 and looks 100!

Rolf Furuli New Book
by dozy infor those who haven't come across furuli before , he is a 77 year old norwegian professor and is ( or was ) one of the few "scholarly" jws used by the society and used as a source on various matters ( especially 607 bce ).. however recently he has fallen out with the gb and has published an interesting book - like many recent scholarly apologists , he seems to be going down the road of disagreeing with the authority of the gb but still holding that the jws is the one true religion.
kind of "lions led by donkeys".
whether this view will continue is anyones guess.

Gerrit Loesch video from this week's meeting
by neat blue dog inhe talks about how a group of 5,000 broke away from the organization due to distrust of government agents infiltrating the jws.
they weren't regarded as apostates, just distrustful.
he uses phrases like "their leader" and "his elders", and how they had a meeting with the governing body and made the decision for all these thousands to reintegrate them into the jws, splitting them up among congregations.

There's quite a lot about this in the 2006 Yearbook. As I remember from comments on here many years ago, many in Romania were also stumbled by the 1962 change of understanding of Romans 13:1, Superior Authorities.

Sin and death - how does it make sense to ANY believer of ANY religion?
by BourneIdentity insince adam and eve’s fall, we are all sinners.
it’s what we do, there is no way to change it, sinning is a daily part of life.
there are major sins, but most of us commit minor ones everyday in words, thoughts or deeds.

The human race - that you despise - is better now than in any time in history. Our story is one of amazing progress.
An old sister was once having a right old moan to me about how bad this system is since Satan arrived here in 1914. I asked her if she would have preferred to have lived before 1914 without Satan's influence. She would probably have been working in a coal mine or as my female forebears did, a stone quarry, no NHS and no Social Services to keep her in relative comfort in her old age.
She was a bit cool with me for a while after that.

Trying to get my head around these go bags
by phoenixrising inwhen i was looking at prepping back in the 90s i was told by several elders that we needed to just rely on the org and jehovah and not prep.
i started to put away vacuum sealed bags of rice beans and spices anyway.
now they have this go bag crap.

For the majority of us, certainly here in the UK, it's not a "Go Bag" that we need but a "Stay Bag". Not a literal bag of course but provisions set aside for an unexpected event. This event is not necessarily a major calamity such as we are currently facing but just a bad winter with snow such that we don't want to go out shopping, unexpected sickness or whatever.
In the US they are called "preppers" and attract scorn and derision but preparing for future events is a very sensible thing to do. I cannot understand so many in my congregation have so little to no provisions set aside. I think they work on the "Jehovah will provide" idea. Well he hasn't and he won't.
