Stealing the lives of youths by the Watchtower is a despicable act. Children need to be provided the guideposts for life's journey. Everything from the Watchtower relates to stifling their journey for their own evil purposes. I was caught up in that cycle, and it took me half my life to realize the evilness of the Watchtower.

What I wish I had known at 18
by NewYork44M inthe financial times had an article with the above question.
the author asked various people to answer the question.. https://www.ft.com/content/169705e4-b4dd-11e8-b3ef-799c8613f4a1.
while i was not interviewed, if i was asked this question i would say that i wish i had known in 1975, when i was 18, that i was raised in a cult and that the continued focus on armageddon over my lifetime was a cruel joke.

The rest I could have figured out if I had only known that I was taught a lie my whole life.
What do you wish you had known at 18?

Thank you for sharing Minimus. It sounds like you are still working out some issues. I have also had conversations in my dreams with my long deceased mother.

(How) Will The Slow and Subtle WT Internal Shift Affect Us?
by Solzhenitsyn inas a "deep pimo" i can say that there is a confirmed re-branding.
the coordinators committee formed a focus group from service and teaching committees.
the results of that group roughly three+ years ago, with gb approval, trickled down to the other committees and eventually into what we have been seeing before our eyes in the org and local congs.. pick an organizational level and see the shift.

"At the branch's direction, we're not going to even look at the PRC's of these men."
I heard a CO state this in an elder's meeting in the early 1990s. I did not believe him then, and I don't believe anything has changed now. This organization is obsessed with made-up numbers.

Sisters handling mic's
by I Faded Twice ini saw a topic on another forum where a sister was supposedly carrying the mics.
i was curious if this was even possible?
is it new light or just a lie?.

Growing up a JW I was taught the many things that sisters could not do. I never understood this. The general question I always asked was "what is it about this job that requires a penis?" If a penis is not required, then there is no reason why a sister could not accomplish the task.

2018/19 new light
by Ray Frankz inhi guys, long time without paying a visit to this site.
today i returned to check a 'gossip' that is running around in brazilian exjw forums.. they are stating that is almost certain they will make a big change in their doctrine maybe this year yet in the annual meeting.
they say people in warwick were commenting on this.

I doubt very much that they could replicate the hysteria of 1975. Too much has changed and too much information is available. If there is new light it will simply be abandoning older teachings. You are not going to see anything new from the current GB.

Well, that was disgusting. How can he say that education is worthless? Don't they hire lawyers, engineers, and other professionals? These people received their skills through education.
I feel very sorry for the young people in the organization. This must really suck for them.

...nor do they have anyone with the creative or theological skill to reinterpret WT
eschatology for the 21st Century, so they're stuck with a decades-old, Cold-War-centric End-TimesThis explains the silly undiscernable overlapping generation explanation to justify that the end did not come within the generation of 1914.
