  The Fading Loop Hole

  by new boy in

  my father in law (robert stillman) killed himself in 1993. after the "new light" came out in 1981 we could no longer have limited contact with dis-fellowedshipped persons.

  after years of being shunned by his only family he blow his brains out with a 38 special.

  at the time of his death, the only thing bob was doing that wasn’t in line with the society’s rules and regulations was smoking.

  At the time of his death, the only thing Bob was doing that wasn’t in line with the Society’s rules and regulations was smoking. He wasn’t living in sin or doing any other type of gross immorality, but because he left the organization back in 1958, thirty-five years earlier, he could no longer have association with his children or grandchildren.

  Yet my father, who left the organization back in 1961, was still smoking at the time of Bob's death. I’m sure my father was fornicating, stealing and just about anything else you can think of. Yet he could come up to visit his children and his grandchildren anytime he liked. How could that be? How could he do that? Because he was no longer dis-fellowshipped; he was reinstated back in 1965. However, after he was reinstated, he just dropped out for good, or “faded away” as the Witnesses like to call it nowadays.

  Just one of the many loopholes and double standards that they don’t want you to know about.

  It looks like in the year 2018 it took 13,880 hours of preaching to create on new convert.

  However as was all know the vast amount of new converts are "born ins" I would guess as high as even 80% if this is true it would take 55,520 of hours of field service activity to find one new non "born in" member.

  Or basically someone going out in field service for 8 hours a day for over 19 years to find one new fool to join this group!

  Cool aid anyone?

  Ending Bible Study

  by Maria Nieves in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been studying with jehovah's witnesses for approximately two years.

  initially, i liked the studies and felt that i was growing closer to god.

  however, as the studies progressed, they seemed to become increasingly negative and i did not like what i was being taught.

  As others have said here you are very fortunate to have spotted the insanity early. Many here have taken years to break free.

  Price will be $14.88

  I don't know how many pages yet because it hasn't been formatted yet.

  It should be some where between 250 to 300 pages with 50 chapters.

  I started posting some of my Bethel experiences here on JWD back in 2007 so it's been 12 long years in the making.

  It was self published and will be on Amazon along with my first novel "Your Crazy Life"

  The full title is

  NEW BOY

  Life and Death at the World Headquarters of the Jehovah Witnesses

  P.S. All exBethelities can get a copy free if you message me you addresses.

  This book is dedicated to James Olson and Robert Stillman and the millions of other people, who have been victims of religious abuse. This book is dedicated to the thousands of people who have lost their parents, children and families members by way of the cruel practice of shunning. This book is for the thousands of suicide victims, people who could not live with the guilt and shame that the Jehovah’s Witnesses thought system has created for them. This book condemns this religion and all other religions that have been instrumental in the death, suicide and insanity of millions of people on this planet around the world.

  The people and events in this book are real. Their real names have been used. I do not judge or condemned any person in this book, only the religious thought system that created them.

  I want to thank Naomi Rose and Erika Finch my editors who skillfully brought this book together.

  Special thanks to Randell Watters (also an exBethelite) at freeminds.org.

  I also want to thank Simon who has created the Jehovah-Witness.com web site and the hundreds of people there that helped gather much of the important information that is in this book. This book could never happened without their help.

  The use of copyrighted material in this book falls within the Fair use Provisions and particularly as pertains to criticism and parody.

  Society Ditches Older Publications

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it has been reported that many of the older publications are being dumped.

  the watchtower bible and truck society have a long list of books, pamphlets and brochures that are no longer available either in print or in their data base on their web sight.

  of course the reason is that this books have a lot of old information that is incorrect, false prophecies, flip flops and a lot of "new light" that became old light.
