i was just reading through some posts and had a startling realization.. the comment that sparked this went something like this: why oh why when i started into this in 1989 did i not research the history of the wtbts?
etc....... i too was studying and moving towards baptism around that same time.
i got dunked in dec of 1990.. my thought.
Did you mean to post this under JOKES & HUMOR?
We will each be dead and gone LONG before the WTB&TS folds its tents.
People who claim otherwise have a really poor grasp of Watchtower/Apostate history.
It seems every six months there's a flurry of histrionics and an attitude of "Oh, We've Got Them Now!"
but it comes to naught.
Sorry, but that's the truth.
post photographic evidence of dubs' false prophecies.
i'll start:.
the preaching work will conclude in the 20th century.
Rebel8, not to be hyper-critical (although I am the self-appointed ASSHOLE on this board - no one else, JUST ME) but your quoted "prophecy" seems to be a compression of at least two statements.
Do you prefer the dunking pool or the tanning booth turned up to eleven?
some people had a penchant for posting their topics directly into the "best of topics" area.
it seemed more than a little arrogant to me that some imagined their every utterance was immediately a greatest hit but maybe people weren't clear on what that area was intended for .... from now on you won't be able to start new topics there.
if anyone wants to submit a topic to be added there (perhaps an index to a curated list of other topics by a user or on a certain subject / theme) then just start one in "suggestions" and pm me and, if it is suitable, then i'll move it into there.. existing topics posted there recently have been moved to more appropriate areas..
i am sorry that on my first post i am asking for help and advice but i am at my wits end.
i have been brought up a witness all my life and it is all i know.
i am an ex-elder and pioneer and i don't know anybody outside of the congregation.. i have been unhappy for so long and wanted to leave.

Billy, do you prefer to have no one "watching your back"? I ask for NOTHING. I control NOTHING.
But I GIVE. Shall we run a roll-call and ask if anyone here has received freely from "Nathan Nut-ass"?
Did he send you books, or CDs, or DVDs all paid for OUT OF HIS POCKET? Did he help you complete a University Thesis? Did he assume the cost of "resurrecting" dead apostate reference materials?
I NEVER WAS, and NEVER WILL BE a "moderator" here.
Go ahead and sling your paranoid defamatory poop.

James Mixon said, "Damn Nathan, is there something we are missing here. Do you know S&L..."
Frankly, Jim, I think far, far too many newer ones here are naive beyond what is useful -- AND I'M NOT ALONE IN THAT OPINION.
I may not know S&L, but I KNOW THE TYPE.
I'll bet that in fourteen more years, after you've seen a few more of these mini-dramas unfold before your eyes, you too will join the "Nutass" crowd who refuse to let sad sob-stories and simpleton emotions sway them.
If I was consistently wrong in these matters, why would Simon tolerate my continued presence for 15 years? The only ones who downplay the significance of longevity are those who DO NOT HAVE IT AND LIKELY NEVER WILL.
I am one of a handful of SHEEPDOGS on this board who feel a duty to protect you unsuspecting SHEEPLE from WOLVES. It may be true that some SHEEPLE are frightened by the growl of the SHEEPDOGS, but we growl for your BENEFIT. Perhaps someday you will appreciate this.

For a guy who is an ALLEGEDLY desperate situation, scared and lonely, you seem to have no trouble falling back on your high and mighty Elder's attitude. Is this a reflex over which you have no control?
Like others here, I suspect you are a TROLL - a façade constructed by someone who has been here longer than you claim to be, with a tear-jerking sob-story that you built for your own amusement so you can stroke your ego about what fools these apostates be.
You will find apostate fools here, indeed, who will wring their hands and rend their outer garments in torment over the story you've constructed. Enjoy their company. You will probably find that when it comes down to the bottom line, your hand-wringing "friends" will suddenly find themselves "a bit short of cash" on a permanent basis.
You're unaccustomed to being talked back to, aren't you, Elder-Boy? You are one of the Watchtower's " great and shining ones," aren't you, Brother Failure? Fall on your knees and ask for Jehovah's Magic Spirit, you phony!
Reality can be a Harsh Mistress.

You were an ELDER, but you don't even know how to care for YOURSELF.
Living in your parents' home, doing everything that Mommy and Daddy say.
By what right did you provide counsel to anyone, you man-child?
Move into a homeless shelter operated by a "wicked" Church of Xtiandom, or move under a bridge.
No sympathy for sad-sack castratos here, pal! Return to your VOMIT!
i have been perplexed as to how to brung my wife out of jws and to exit the religion... but i had an idea last night.
i know that elders will legitimantly meet with brothers who have doubts and encourage them... not df them .. this is a sheperding call etc.. thus since my wife knows i have doubt s i could say: i want to have two brother over to discuss this ... she will agree.... of course i will hit these guys with biblical textual issues, an biology to where they are stunned and still ask... "so brothers... can you solve this conflict...?".
in this case they will not think of me as an apostate but may question their own beliefs... .
Have you tried brunging her in a wheelbarra?
