  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.

  This is true but since this was almost 20 years ago and my Father didn't have the stigma of the classification of being DAed or DFed my ex wife didn't seem to mind his visits. For her like many others JWs it was out of sight and out of mind.

  “Millions now living will never die”

  by HappyBlessedFree in

  2. bible

  so i’m just reading the part in ray franz book “crisis of conscience” about the 1925 prediction of “millions now living will never die”.. ofcourse all witnesses are very familiar with this campaign.

  yet none of us ever had an issue with it, including myself.

  since the booklet was published in 1920, we are one year away from 100 years from that time.

  They changed the name of the book before it's release. It was suppose to be "Millions now living will soon be dead!"

  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

  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.

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

  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.
