many friends i've spoken with are becoming discouraged.
because of this it's becoming tempting to privately share my views with friends, but i know this is still too dangerous.
most witnesses in my circle are intelligent free thinkers.
Can someone share where/when this next Watchtower article is? does is mention Generations? I would like to read it....thank you!

my novel about jw's at the end of the world has been temporarily discounted by the publisher.
if you have a kindle (or kindle reader on another device) you can get a copy for only 99 cents.
Thanks for the heads up....I've had it on my wish list!

144001,
I experienced the same thing. I was a 36 year old bachelor elder. The things that went on were so tragic!! My heart is literally broken for so many women who would like to just have a great companion. They aren't going to find one in JW's.......

Thank each of you for the feedback! Much appreciated!
Island man....thank you....you're right!!!
i understand that they claim to have the responsibility to preach to every corner of the earth, so they can encourage armageddon to come quickly.
(matthew 24:14 "and this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
what rationale do they have, for keeping track of their hours and literature placements?
They are obsessed with measuring something that shows their 'spirituality'.....unfortunately, Jesus was very clear that it wasn't something you can measure.....its a matter of the heart.

over the years since i left jehovahs witnesses, one of the more fascinating things to observe, and really to me, the most important, is what to do after you leave.. to be sure, no one leaves because of a positive experience.
and therein lies the issues with leaving.
basically, people leave in three general ways: 1. they, like myself, resign or leave due to a disagreement.
I wrote an eBook on this very subject: "Leaving Jehovah's Witnesses" at www.leavingjehovahswitnesses.org
I don't believe it has to be negative. I think it depends on getting your thinking straight before you leave. I'm often shocked at how many leave, but don't know WHY they left......it can be a strange dynamic.
