Don't answer their questions - they're being judgemental tossers.
Landy is that how you judged my post?

Some thoughts on guilt.
by New day inhad an interesting conversation with my wife recently.
she struggles with physical, emotional and psychological problems which have often caused her to miss meetings.
she mentioned how she is equally tortured by guilt if she misses meetings and ministry, and severe stress if she does them.

take good care of her
She still fully believes and is super fragile.
my suggestion was probably not a good idea

How can you feel guilty about something which has misled you? Still love the bros and sis on the ground but the higher ups
Maybe you should tell the bros and sis how you feel about the higher ups. Carefully.

Coming to terms with the Watchtower experience
by Lee Elder init is a challenge coming to terms with your experience as a jehovah's witness.
if you were born and raised as a jw, and your parents were true believers, the impact on your life is profound, lasting, and largely negative.
in some cases quite abusive emotionally, spiritually, financially, educationally and yes, even sexually.. i recently watched "trumbo", and was quite moved by dalton trumbo's speech to the screen writers guild in 1970. here is an excerpt that i think is quite relevant to this topic:.

It reminded me of Ray Franz comments on the "organization" and how there are simply victims of victims.
i never agreed with this. the faithful slave gave out the food. they were of the anointed and knew that they were. i needed to be obedient. i was.

I post on this site. I don't feel that I hate JW. I work with and have coffee with JW.
I suppose the closest I came to cutting all ties with JW was when I watched the videos of the Royal Commission in Australia.
When I left the JW for theological differences after being raised a JW. I felt concerned at the time that this may cause a split in the family. However I encouraged my wife to continue to attend if that is what she wanted to do. She didn't. (She attended a few times over the first few years.) No elder or elders wife has ever enquired in 20 years as to how she felt about the truth she was raised as JW and baptised Witness for 20 years.

What would you do if you won a $300 million lottery
by LevelThePlayingField ini would pay a highly rated, very expensive advertising company to run a 1 minute ad that ran nationwide primetime every night of the week until i spent $75 million of it telling how the wt was covering over pedophiles and for people to go to jwfacts.com for the truth about the truth.
it would be done in very good taste, way better than political ads.
i would spare no expense.

The Kingdom Message
by truth doubter inregarding the unique preaching of the kingdom by wt (new creation, heavenly kings, priests and judges, restoration of paradise on earth etc.).
the scriptures seem to back up wts interpretation.
so, although there are a million reasons to become inactive, how can our conscience allow us not to become active in the work described at matt.

So, although there are a million reasons to become inactive, how can our conscience allow us not to become active in the work described at Matt. 24:14? I know there are many possibilities.
I understood the preaching we were engaged in related to Revelation 14:7. Good news and a judgment message.
The Watchtower March 15 1970.Pg. 174
The present-day “good News” concerning God's kingdom is that it has been established in heaven in this very generation; yes, that Jesus Christ has been enthroned there and is ruling in the midst of his enemies. This means that Satan the Devil has been cast from heaven to the vicinity of the earth, and that he will soon be abyssed and his entire wicked system of things destroyed. What good news.So when I felt I was no longer convinced of this my conscience would not allow me to join as a witness in preaching it.
