New York Times article by ex-JW Missionary Amber Scorah

by Room 215 in

amber recently published a book about her ex-jw experiences in china.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/31/opinion/sunday/life-after-death.html?action=click&module=opinion&pgtype=homepage.

I knew Amber and her husband (long since divorced) in the early 2000s they pioneered and sevred in a Mandarin speaking congregation in Vancouver. In those days the society was encouraged Mandarin speaking pioneers to go to China as need greaters. As the work was basically banned there they did not go with any sort of official missionary status. A lot of dubs from our area did this. Was all rather hush hush as often they were not even to tell family and freinds what city they where serving in. So yes she was not an official missionary, but must have used the term to help readers understand what she was doing. I ordered her book, looking forward to reading it, she writes very well.

Kingdom Hall Closures In Canada.

by Lost in the fog in

one of our friends in canada posted the following message to their circle of friends.

"in our meeting last night, the coordinator read a letter from the canadian branch about the reorganized territories.

all the territories in the fraser valley from hope to vancouver, about a hundred miles in all, have been reorganized to create larger congregations and improve the use of kingdom halls.

Lets Think

Heard from friends , three congregations deleted in Vancouver (Marine, English Bay and Joyce). Also more in the suburbs deleted, one in White Rock ,some in Surrey and Coquitlam. I can see Kingdom Halls being sold as a next step. The Jdub membership as been on the decline in western Canada, older ones passing not much in the way of replacements. It seems in places like England, Canada, parts of the States its a religion of old people. I really see a slow motion decline. This in the 50 some years I was an active jdub. I know this is just a limited personal observation, but go to any congregation in the western world and count the gray heads.

well today marks the beginning and biggest day of our protest at the london excel.. we believe it's a record number at around 100 exjws at the front door.. we spoke to lots of jw's and one young man studying who has quit after talking to us.

we've been approached privately by jw's who thanked us for coming and the security at the event treated us very well.. if anyone wants to see some clips they are available on my channel the great apostate.. thanks to all for the support and love..

Lets Think

Farmer Jim , great post I agree with your thoughts. I would like to take part next year. Hopefully the organizers can use this form and others like it to let us know dates and details in advance. I really think for many of us this sort of protest is a way of taking back control of our lives. It can make us feel that we are doing somthing to resist the org, that has taken so much from us

I think the great thing about these sort of videos is when someone starts the wake-up they realize they are not alone.There is large community of exjws. So while these videos may not cause an uberdub to wake-up. They can help those going down that path. So keep up the good work! There are many of us who support this activism.

Thank you, George Couch!

by charonsdog in

i just thought i'd share this story from my past.. back in the 80s i remember the big problem seemed to be about music.

(today, it's tight pants, i guess) the organization, society, whatever they were calling themselves, were always going on about the music we listened to.

disco, heavy metal, the whole "backwards masking" thing...couldn't escape hearing or reading about how satan was corrupting us unless we were listening to kingdom melodies or elevator music.. i was assigned to wtf in the late 80s and remember one of the articles stating that "young people know that the rhythm of rock music is the rhythm of sexual intercourse.

Lets Think

Good story, enjoyed that!
