Your have no retirement because the "new system" was coming back in 1975 and you are now wearing dentures because Jehovah was going to fix your teeth in the new system that never came.

The Society is Blocking Research On their Web Site
by new boy init seems, you can not research many of the older publications on society's web site anymore.
for the obvious reasons, that they don't want people to go back and read about all the false prophecies, changing guide lines (new light that became old light that became new light once again) and the just plain stupid stuff they have said over the years.
i not quit sure what publications they have blocked.

I not quit sure what publications they have blocked. So how far back can you research the Watchtower and Awake magazines now and what books have been blocked from view?
Any help would be much appreciated...... thank you.

How Religious Fundamentalism Hijacks The Brain- Psychology Today
by Brokeback Watchtower inhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mind-in-the-machine/201810/how-religious-fundamentalism-hijacks-the-brain.
in moderation, religious and spiritual practices can be great for a person’s life and mental well-being.
but religious fundamentalism—which refers to the belief in the absolute authority of a religious text or leaders—is almost never good for an individual.

I have very deeply looked into the endless destruction and genocide that religious ideologies and dogma have inflicted upon human beings. I have seen how damaged human souls are, how deeply depressive, meaningless, and prone to exploitation are the lives that many live. Religious dogma is at the root of this epidemic meaninglessness. Behind that is the thirst and cry for love. ----Mark Seelig
P.S. Dennett is brilliant!

You have taken the red pill. You now see things the way they really are. There will be some losses ahead but some wonder gains too.

The Society even admitted they had a problem with their pedophile leaders.
by new boy inoh, yes, the society even admitted they had a problem with their leaders.
a january 1, 1986 watch tower article (p. 13) stated: “shocking as it is, some who have been prominent in jehovah’s organization have succumbed to homosexuality and child molesting.” .
in the watchtower article, they didn’t disclose the rest.

In the Watchtower article, they didn’t disclose the rest. What they should have said is this: “Shocking as it is, some who have been prominent in Jehovah’s organization have succumbed to homosexuality and child molesting and we have none NOTHING about it!” That is the “shocking” part they conveniently left out of the article, not that people could do this but that the leaders there would do nothing about it.Since I no longer have any bound volumes and the society will only let you research back to the year 2000 can anyone here tell me, what the name of this study article was back in January 1 of 1986.

Many Jehovah's Witness Leaders and Followers Customize Their Religion to Suit Their Needs
by new boy inafter observing my jehovah's witness friends and family members for over 50 years it became apparent that the vast majority of "the brothers and sisters" pick and choose the rules and laws that their church/organization what them to follow.. tough the society may state these admonitions as definite "do's and don'ts" many of the church followers put these admonitions in the the "grey zone.".
the reason being jehovah will give them special dispensation.
yes, for some odd reason jehovah will cut these people some slack for the same things he must punish others for.

I got one thumbs down for this post.
I would love to hear how this doesn't seem to be the case among JWs.

Why is this?
The reason being Jehovah will give them special dispensation. Yes, for some odd reason Jehovah will cut these people some slack for the same things he must punish others for.
They vast majority of the organization including their leaders what "mercy for themselves and justice for everyone else."
Here are some of the many examples of the"grey zone" people are willing to live with, because Jehovah loves them more then other Jehovah's Witnesses.
Whether to turn friends and family members in for the crime of pedophilia
Masturbation
Oral sex among married couples
Watching "R" rated movies.
Whether to see/talk to dis-follow shipped family members
Alcoholism
Going to "Worldly functions" class dances, office parties and reunions
Gossiping
Lying on their income taxes
From the very top of their organization on down the rules are clear for everyone but themselves.
