"that which can be asserted without evidence, can.
be dismissed without evidence.
" - christopher hitchens.
After a year has passed ... this thread is still inspiring,
confirming and freeing.
Unlike wt crap that is made up to push & poke the R&F
into attending meetings & ASSemblies ... then to be
discarded apostate fodder a few mths later!
Then more "truths" are pulled out of their collective asses
and the game continues on!
DontCallMeShirley luv ya guy!

this is a rumor i heard back in november, it comes to me third or fourth-hand.
feel free to poke holes.
i have many doubts about this myself.
Watchtower organization can change anything now,
and not many even notice. 3 main reasons why ...>
*
1. Jehovah's witnesses in general, really don't care
what the 'flavour of the day' is! "Even if they are wrong".
2. For the most part, the old timers have died off, or
are soon gone! Ex jws like me, do remember & do
care! They can hardly wait until we all disappear!
3. My grandchildren, who are the recipients of this
newlite ....have no idea about 1914, 1918, 1919,
1975, Beth Sarim/Beth/Shan, drunken Rutherford
who banned all holidays to keep family members
separated etc ....they really have no idea. They
only see the social aspect...instant friends who
are commanded to love you...lots of them!
Service is fun now 'cause you get to be with
your friends ......persecution, tar & feathering,
thrown in jail ...hhhhmm never heard of that!
*
Oh yeah, they are laughing at us. With every
new trick they pull ...they are laughing!
Because KH witnesses don't care & don't want
to think!
first off - for those lurkers who feel guilty just for being on this site and reading this (even if you don't read any further, as it is your right to choose that course) i want you to know that you're not alone in what you're going through or in what you are feeling.
if you read on, i hope my experience may be of some small help to you.. this may be long, but i'll try to organize it in a way that doesn't make it painful to read.
to start, i feel it is most beneficial if i'm upfront and honest with my goals from posting this, which are (in order of the degree to which they motivated me):.
Welcome Joe ...I hope it won't be too long before
Mrs Joe joins you!
Your thoughts are right on the money! Clear & concise.
All the best to you both ...looking forward to hearing more.

does someone have the boe april 25 letter about the transfer of the local ownership of all kingdom halls to the society?.
it seems a mayor financial transaction, allthough here in the netherlands.. gorby.
Gorby .... you might be interested in this video,
I love these friends ..Mike & Kim.... talking about
the Elders instruction pages regarding kingdom hall
projects, and the financing...... info that R&F is not
privy to. They will send you a scan.

level headed good person!

we have often heard about the need to "put on the 'new personality'" as a jw.... but i have realised something in these last few years of awakening to the ttatt...i dont like what i had become as a 'good' jw!.
i realised that being a 'good' jw made me very:.
critical of my fellow man,.
Ditto ......screw that!
i saw two brothers this morning next to the main train station in liverpool city centre this morning.
they were not actively approaching anyone.
what i found strange was that they were from a cong that has different territory, so i don't know why they were there.. anyway i knew them both, and they know i was df'd, i was in my car and couldn't park up for a chat, but i did beep and wave to them as i drove passed and they waved back.
Omg I am 'praying' to bump into one of these!
Saw one in the city as I drove past, but couldn't
find a parking spot. It wasn't a standard trolley,
just some old jw on a 4 wheel scooter that he
had rigged with a little rack for magazines.
He was sitting on it ....parked on the sidewalk! lol
