  was there some sort of change recently in the guidelines cult hq lays out on how to handle inactive apostates?

  check this story out and please share on social media!

  i firmly believe 100% of jw's are suffering from the first stage of rts and a high percentage of people who are now out are also suffering.

  What hell was unleashed last night?

  by Blind_Of_Lies in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i got up this morning and checked the ol' facebook and i found that it had really blown up overnight.

  the remaining witness friends/family i have on there are all riled up and foaming at the status box of the wonderful blessings and other stupidity they have been bestowed.

  while they all seem to be talking in code it appears (and confirmed by other threads) that they released a new version of the bible and possibly an app for ishit.. i have a few questions.... first... any idea why they are talking in code?

  i mentioned in a thread some weeks ago ( http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/244078/1/first-public-talk-as-an-apostate ), that i was invited to give a talk at a symposium about cults.

  this will take place at the first weekend in may.. i'm going to talk about the difficulties you have to face when leaving the jw.

  yesterday i've got an another invitation to speak to a senior year class in a middle school.

  Mark Sanderson gets official intro in July 15th Watchtower

  by cedars in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in all the hysteria surrounding the "new light" in the forthcoming july 15th watchtower, i forgot to mention that the magazine carries information on the "new governing body member" - who i think we can all safely assume is mark sanderson.. sadly i didn't get scans of the pages in question - just the juicy doctrinal stuff.

  still, i thought it was worth a mention!.

  cedars.

  100 Years of Disappointment on the Horizon

  by mrquik in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  even as an elder, i had doubts as to this being "the one true religion".

  i personally had chosen 2014 as one of those "make or break" dates.

  fortunately, i left years ago.
