Hard to imagine all of those kind words and gestures (as well as all of the ones just posted here) coming from wicked "worldly" people, let alone "apostates"!

The World Today
by peacefulpete ini've been meaning to share some recent experiences that defy the usual tropes about the 'world gone to hell' or 'people now days".. as some of you may remember i was seriously ill for a while and had to close my business and shop.
now, as it seems i have beaten it, i put up a sign again advertising that in a limited way i'm back.. what amazes me is how many times over the past 2 years customers and even competition have written and called to express their concern and best wishes.
just last week i had a personal visit of someone who i thought of as a rival, come in and shake my hand sincerely happy to see me up and around.

If the images above violate the privacy of any individual
I would say THEY made them public. Not you.

THE PROBLEM WITH THESE 2 NEW GB MEMBERS APPOINTMENTS
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/rjr0ugtu6zu?si=d3zsz20ee33gytxi.
these new appointments are troubling, to say the least, especially considering the factors surrounding their selection.
these appointments raise key concerns about leadership, experience, and what is happening behind the scenes at the organization's headquarters.

As best as I can recall, not all that long ago WT published the statement that all (or at least most) of all the "newly anointed" members we either confused about leaving behind their old "everyone goes to heaven" thinking from Christendom OR, they were likely mentally ill.
From what I can see and hear from newly appointed GB members, they definitely fit into the latter description or explanation.
Or, in other words: they're effing crazy!

JWN, 23 years posting Blondie
by blondie incan i call you friends, i think so after 23 years posting here.
i am dismayed how jwn is being "dominated" or taken over by a few posters, peppering the comments.
in the past, the admin did not approve of this and did remove some posters from jwn.

Speaking most definitely for myself, and I suspect many others here, I very much appreciate all you do to maintain this site and this community of friends.

TWO NEW GB MEMBERS! WOW!
This important announcement/revelation helps me see where my journey from JWism has taken me --
I could not care less about 2 new GB.
Once was the time I'd have googled and searched and made a couple phone calls to PIMO and POMO friends, but now I simply cannot be bothered. This religion has less and less affect on me as time progresses. This religion is nothing more than a bunch of people who have an overly inflated opinion of themselves. And more recently there is an increasing amount of mediocrity from the leadership.

I have no desire to join another cult or high control religion after all the years wasted with Watchtower.
DITTO!

Where is Tony?
by Athanasius inon february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.
in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

I would say I was here, but in disguise. But really, I haven't been here. I will always return as I have some JW family left, but really- I have drifted away from drifting away. Been there, done that.
Sounds like you're on your way to being an "Ex Ex-JW" --
Sorry to say I am still letting it (JWism and ex-JWism) be too much of an influence in my life. But as the few JW friends I once still had go more and more incognito on me, I think it will have lesser and lesser influence.

WT HQ maintains a special file for this kind of letters of dissent.
