i was recently watching a video on youtube and on the john cedars channel, he was talking about how the watchtower has discontinued quite a few of their books from back when i was still active.
so it got me to thinking about how do they decide that certain teaching doesn't fit them anymore.
so i was wondering does anyone have any ideas on how they come to that decision because if any of their members bring up something, that person can be disfellowshipped?.
It's simple they pray on the matter.
"Dear god we have a problem! You gave us some bad information about the pedophiles in the organization also about the years 1975, 1918, 1925 and 1914. We have dozens of book with false information with 'old/new light.' Remember the time back in 1971 when you told us you couldn't divorce your mates if they were gay or having sex with farm animals."
"So what do we do now?"
God of course says. "Burn the Books!"
sad but true.
my ex-girlfriend was raised mormon.
so i went to a couple of her church services.
Another thing I noticed before I left the Borg in 2001 was that the people at rural circuits assemblies were way heavier/fatter than the people that were in attendance at the City circuits assemblies.
Please check out the web site "Why are Mormon women fat" it really has some good information on the causes of this.
I believe the JWs and Mormons religions are very much alike on how they treat their women.
Help mates? Or please my I have another "helping" of french fries!

Sad but true. My ex-girlfriend was raised Mormon. So I went to a couple of her church services. I couldn't help but notice at the meetings how most the women there were over weight and packing some serious poundage.
So, I Googled "Why are so many Mormon women fat?" Wow...there are a couple of web sites that explain this phenomenon. It seems that religions that suppress women seem to have this effect on them...they pig out so to speak.
Just like the Mormons, If you go into most Kingdom Halls you will notice one of two things. Most the people there are women and most of them are over weight.
Coincidence? Me think not!

The book is on Amazon now. As I have said,I would happy to send an ExBethelites a free copy.
just wondering if anyone has ever posted their personal information and have proof that the borg is watching and sent the gestapo to get them?.
i will be announcing my resignation and da myself - and i am objectively looking at either doing it bud dwyer (not really like him but by extension) style at a meeting or an email blast or just giving a letter to the boe?.
any advice is appreciated.
Leave however you want DA DFed or fade.
Playing by their rules or not, I choose to DA myself.
Why? It had nothing to do with "their rules."
It had to do with the fact that I had (publicly) joined their stupid organization/club at 17 years old by being baptized. Whether I was brainwashed or not, forced in to it or not, it happened.
Since I publicly entered this club, I decided to publicly announce to the world I was leaving it. No I was not kicked out of their club.
I told the world publicly I kicked them out of my life.

i remember reading somewhere (perhaps on here?
) than an entire congregation disassociated and started their own congregation after decided that the gb were apostate.. was this an urban myth or is there any evidence of this?.
The town in Texas that all left was mentioned in Lloyd Evens book.
so i am still trying to help my husband realize ttatt.
i have asked him some questions .
.. “are you okay with jehovah killing your mom, sister, nephew (non-witnesses) at armageddon?”.
There are a lot of religions that don't go to war the Quakers the Amish does that make them god's only true church?
Ask him if he knows that a member of the governing Body was a pedophile? That they asked him to leave Bethel and he was never DFed!
the apostate that hung around bethel back in the early 1970's.. i talk about "the frog" and "lady margret" in my book but knew nothing about "mr. coffee".
any help please.
new boy.
Thank you guys once again for the walk down memory lane!
I truly love you all!
