My condolences. You must have a lot of awesome memories from a close and loving 89 year relationship. Even though my dad, grandfather and father-in-law are gone, their advice, example and strong characters still serve me well almost every day. Great parents give one an example to follow and even in their absence one feels like it's still possible to disappoint them and strive to avoid that.

Your thought process was and is sound. Thankfully there are people like you who like to think for themselves. Well conveyed ! -

If Jehovah's Witnesses go some more in the same direction
by iconoclastic injws made a diligent study on teachings that have pagan origin and found christendom as being mostly built on pagan teachings, hence keep distance from them all.
so far so good.
now, if jws continue in the same direction, they will find virtually everything in the bible as borrowed from pagansstarting from six-staged creation account, and devil (ahriman) making the first man and woman fall (which is from zoroastrianism) to the messiah restoring what has been lost (which is found in many mythologies).

Almost 60 years ago, The Watchtower made a prediction that has proven to be amazingly accurate.
by Bonnie_Clyde ini haven't posted for quite awhile, just usually lurk, but thought surely someone would have noticed this on jw.org.
this was under the article about distractions.
i clicked on the article and below is the "accurate" prediction that the wt made back in 1958. this has to prove they have jehovah's backing, don't you think?

Large Increase in Trolley Witnessing
by The Searcher inwhen the org implements its bethelite "genocide" and demotes many members of the "worldwide order of special full-time servants of jehovahs witnesses" into lowly regular pioneers, many more trollies will have to be found in order for such ones to rack up their required monthly hours.. how many are actually going to be shocked by this into waking up?

Perhaps while they're flipping burgers at McDonalds they could offer magazines with every purchase as a promotion:
1) An McAwake mag with every Chicken McNugget
2) A McWatchtower with every Big Mac
3) A McMy Book of Bible Stories with every Happy Meal
Then the customer get's the chance to tell them "Cool now I can wipe my ass with pages from your McAwake after I've left a few McNuggets floating in your McToilet."

Does Anyone Still Believe in God?
by LaurenM indo any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?
even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.
the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.

My advice: forget about what he's doing with his life and concentrate on getting yours to a place where you'll be happy. Learn to be happy and secure on your own and take each day as a new lesson and experience as you advance towards your goals - just don't expect your life to change to amazing overnight - adjustments like this take time but you'll reap the long term rewards. Go out, relax, have fun and concentrate on yourself and kids and forget about him.
Good luck with your future as a free individual and keep us informed of your progress.

What makes WT think they can reassign Bethel volunteers to be Regular Pioneers.
by Zoos inwhen the gb cuts loose 1600 volunteers, what makes them think they can continue telling them how they will spend their time?
i've read on many of these threads that the 1600 will be reassigned.
what, are they still under some sort of contract?.

I assume the Garbaging Body will expect everyone to simply do as they're told as they've always done. -

Weird. On our recent vacation we were just on one of those DUKW tours. Nice tour. Seattle is a beautiful city. I understand one cannot accurately guage the temperament of a population by only spending a day and a night among them, but on our short visit my wife and I found Seattle people to be awesome. Folks were drunk and high at a waterside park near the public market and everyone was cool and chill. Had that been New York City I would bet you there would have been fights, I know - we've seen it many times. -

Reasons for leak and building stop story
by Gorbatchov ini have some feeling about the am2015 leak and the recent building stop story going arround.. it wouldn't surprise me that the information is a calculated leak.. - jw's are informal informed about the changes and adopt them informal.. - the building stop influences the concience of jw's for donating more money.. at the other hand, maybe there has occured a financial disaster for example they invested bilions in volkswagen.. gorby.

If the WBTS lost its charitable status globally that would definitely be its death knell.
