These stories are hard to read. This evil organisation must be exposed for what it truly is. Every chance I get to bash the Watchtower Society you bet I take it.

The cult of death
by Apostating inyesterday i heard that the day before two people from my former congregation had died (this is in the netherlands, schiedam).
their deaths are a little bit related and i think it is a very sad story.. a young boy from sixteen old years hanged himself.
his little sister found him in his room.

"They're only human!" (the most common defence of the Governing Body)

The governing body thinks when they are right, they are right, and when they are wrong they are right, too.
That attitude does not reflect the humility of Jesus Christ, who is head of the congregation. They have made a mockery of Jesus by their continual doctrinal changes and notorious false predictions about the end of this system of things. If Jesus is the head of the congregation, why can't they get things right the first time?

Have you grown detached from caring about JW family and old friends?
by tootired2care inafter being out of the borg for a year and a half, weve dealt with a lot of nonsense from local elders stopping by unannounced, well-meaning do-gooders trying to encourage us.
somehow weve managed to get through this without getting dfd/dad.
for me the worst part of it all has been that much of my family has shunned me, and stopped talking to me, as soon as they heard through the grapevine that i wasnt going to meetings.

We were able to get the majority of our family out by showing them what the Watchtower publications said in the Finished Mystery book and older Watchtowers.
My daughter is still in but refuses to shun me and her husband is allowing this.
My nephew only maintains a yearly or semi annual check in with his mother, who left just before I did. He completely shuns me.
I still care about a couple of people who were friends, but they won't have anything to do with me. It is their loss, I feel.

Have I got this right?
by why144000 inthere are now 4 classes of annointed.. 1. those alive in jesus day who heard him say "this generation will by no means pass away...".
these are all dead and buried.. 2. this group was on hand in 1914, and they readily discerned the sign of christs presence in that year.
those who made up this group were not merely alive in 1914, but they were spirit-anointed as sons of god in or before that year.

It sounds batshit crazy because it is batshit crazy. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and sounds like a duck...it's a duck.

Getting Married next year
by blablabluh inhi all, so i am getting married next year and just looking for some advice.. i left the jw's about 10 years ago now and i am marrying a non jw (who is also a scientist) next year.
my family are all still active and my brother has even agreed to be my best man.
there hasn't really been many issues apart from my mum taking it upon herself to tell everyone early that they do not do toasts.

You may want to mention that if they aren't paying for the reception that they really don't have a say. (Do so in the kindliest way you can, of course.)
It was an issue at my daughters wedding. Someone forgot to tell the DJ and he stopped the music to offer a toast and was floored when he heard that we don't do toasts. That's why Witnesses are better know for what the DON'T do than for what the Do.

Only in Watchtowerland would this ever be an issue.
