Even back when I was still in, the prospect of preaching to convicts felt weird.

13Penpals
by Jer8226 inmy ex-husband is in prison for ..well a while longer and has recently became very interested in the study of jehovah.
(forgive me if i say anything incorrect- i am not religious in any way but do respect all choices!
) he is looking for some penpals to help make the time go by faster and to really learn more about the religion so he can make a difference in his community once he gets out.

"That's not the Jehovah I know..."
by under the radar insometime in late 2014 or early 2015, a video of tony morris giving a talk about giving one's all was released by the borg.
he was belittling those who had one excuse or another for doing less than (he thought) they should.
he mocked those who relied on the thought that "jehovah knows my circumstances and he doesn't think any less of me" or some such.

FFGhost - "Looks like they still identify the "8th king" as the United Nations, but... It barely gets a mention. 3 articles, 60+ paragraphs all about Revelation, and the UN is mention exactly once, almost in passing... Used to be that the UN was front and center in WTS end-times rambling about the book of Revelation... Maybe they are working on phasing out that particular interpretation?"
The idea that the UN is as dangerous as the WT's eschatology suggests takes some next-level suspension of disbelief (realizing this was one of my little wake-up moments, in fact), but I think they're stuck with it...
...there's no one left with the creative and narrative chops to give the Org's old Cold-War-centric End-Times script an overhaul.
At this point, all they can do is soft-pitch the weirder parts and hope it'll all still (somehow) come true.

Are Jehovahs Witnesses a cult?
by GoverningBody inthis question has been presented many times throughout the years.
somewhat recently, there has been much talk surrounding the "bite method" :.
"bite” stands for behavior, information, thought, and emotional control.. some examples were thrown at me, such as the decisions of who we associate with, discouraging any worldy media, encouraging our brothers and sisters to report any of our misbehaviours to the elders, our rejection of criticism on the truth, shunning etc.. what do we think about this?.

"Authoritarian High Control Group".
A bit wordy, but break it down to its individual components, and I think even the most hardcore loyalist would have difficulty refuting the label.

As far as I'm concerned, this is proof the Org reps have long since bought into their own rhetoric.

Rules & Regs:
This one never gets old.
It still looks like a drunken southern mayor up for reelection, and trying to pander to the "colored" demographic.

Stephane - "I felt I was surrounded by people who pretended they lived in a spiritual fortress all the while being afraid of someone with a slingshot."
Damn, that's good.
I felt intellectually muzzled, personally.
