I did it !!!!
by snare&racket in7 years ago i started on a path i had long ago given up on as impossible.
i met with my elders and told them i could not justify carrying on as a jw.
i went and got my high school qualifications and my higher education diploma (a levels with distinction) in just 12 months.

I'm not trying to brag, but being an EXJW is awesome!!! Status Update-
by Coffee House Girl inhello jwn!
i don't get to check in here or comment as often as i would like because i have been working so hard at school...but i just have to share my news in hopes that newbees can see that taking the leap to enroll in higher education is worth it-.
i am graduating this spring with a bachelor degree in art history, minor anthropology...many people (including nonjw's have given me flack for choosing a "dead end" career path) but since leaving the watchtower organization's group-think mentality and "leaning on my own understanding" instead... i decided to say fuck everyone else's opinion...i am going to pursue my passion to work in a museum as a curator or archivist-.

Hardcore JW Friend Predicts the End of the Organization within 10 years.
by kneehighmiah inhad a conversation with an aspiring elder.
he said the end must be close because people are so discouraged that the organization can't last more than 10 years.
this is before we received the please come to the international convention letter.

Interesting, KNEEHIGHMIAH.
My BIL is a reluctantly "aspiring elder" as well ( he thinks he's going to help 'change things' - Ha!). He also doesn't think "the system" can last longer than a few years.
I don't know. . . Perhaps not an implosion, but something's gonna give, IMHO.

Better Angels: great book, but a bit dense. A lot of statistics, if I remember correctly.
No JW would ever read it. Too long.
Pinker should release a set of pastel-colored tracts.

Modern Day Governing Body Members Do Not Go "Door To Door" or Informal Witnessing! Why?
by RottenRiley inwhat sorrow awaits you!
for you say that it means nothing to swear by gods temple, but that it is binding to swear by the gold in the temple.
20when you swear by the altar, you are swearing by it and by everything on it.

Ultimately this is all hearsay and rumour.
Not for me, it isn't.
I know for a fact that at least one GB member is NEVER seen in service, and only makes an appearance at a meeting every three months or so.

I dont understand. Is it 2 days 3 hours, each? Or 2 days 1.5 hours each? Or 1 day for 3 hours?
I suspect it will be something like the Annual Meeting: a three-hour long program Saturday morning that will be simulcast live to Ass Halls, followed by a series of rebroadcasts over the balance of the weekend.

Have had this out on my desk to watch for a couple weeks now. . .
My wife refuses to watch it. With what she does know (or suspect) with regards to TTATT, I think she thinks it will push her over the edge!

They are indeed laying it on thick in this, the 100-Year Anniversary of the Invisible Kingdom.
First the Annual Meeting w/"New" Bible; then the International Conventions this summer; "special" campaigns for "memorial season" (DUCK SEASON!!! WABBIT SEASON!!!!) and something during the summer, too; the super-duper building project in USNY; now this.
How long can they maintain the fog-and-mirrors/endless treadmill of activity before people get antsy?
PIXEL - thank you for posting this. My wife is always impressed I know the content of these letters before they are read!
