I hope this means they are in complete desperation regarding the literature. Hoe long can they keep coming up with plausible new light?

Dad called on my birthday
by StAnn intoday is my birthday.
i'm beyond caring about birthdays (i'm 51) but my dad, who is a non-jw married to my crazy jw mother, usually doesn't acknowledge us kids on our birthdays so as not to piss off my mom.
actually, he has never acknowledged my birthday.

Fading, Stopping Meetings, DA or DF'ing, Thoughts on Getting the Hell Out Of There
by OnTheWayOut inso i read some threads about why someone remains a ministerial servant or elder, or why they are still active jw's.
others are telling stories about how they cut back slowly, and some of them got removed as ms/elder/pioneer or whatever.
yet others tell of how they just up and stopped going one day.

My sister, my nephews and I all quit cold turkey. We just couldn't do the slow fade thing...as it seems so hypocritical. Yes, it did cause a stir and some people are hurt, but none of us has been called in for a JC so we are all happy. It has been well over three years for all of us. So far so good. We are shunned by most in our old Kingdom Halls but that is an acceptable trade off.

Sole CHANNEL of communication?
by Batman89 inhas the gb ever explained exactly how they supposedly communicate with god and get new light or other "inspiration" for their "spiritual dog food"?.
do they all sit in a room together and hold hands and join one conciousness??.
do they fall asleep and go to the dream world and talk to jehovah there like the movie inception or something??.

National newspaper interview with JW's using the JW.org trolley
by Gorbatchov ina dutch national newspaper (trouw) published an interview with some jw's using the jw.org trolley near the trainstation of utrecht.. the local coordinator of the trolley work acknowledged that many witness are not enthusiastic about preaching.
it's a wide spread rumor in our organization.. but the witness elders will remind them personally that preaching is nessasery.
then there is an question asked about the witness selection procedure for the trolley work.. the good looking pioneer sister answered she can imagine the need for selection because nobody would take a book from an old age leaning forward woman without teeth.. g..

The elders called on my nephew about two weeks ago because he hasn't been to meetings in the past 3 years. He told them he couldn't come back because he didn't want to go door to door and have to explain about the generation teaching, which he doesn't understand. They told him the preaching work was coming to and end, they are not focusing on it much anymore. They said the end is so close, the "door is closing" and they were just instructed to try to reach out to the inactive ones...WOW!!! What BS!!!

Yes, we are being shunned for having quit cold turkey also. There mouths drop open in panic when they see me at the store. They act like they didn't see me. So funny. I have lost all my friends from the first 57 years of my life. Your kids are the "lucky" ones. You have done the right thing by not continueing to raise them in a hateful cult.
