  there was a french language congregation this weekend in congo dr which had 44,000 in attendance and something like 730 baptized.

  i'm not saying that is good or bad, just reporting the news..

  Phew. I misread and thought you said hospitaized and I worried they could not get care in the about the most difficult place on earth that l can imagine!

  The DRC is one of the most corrupt and crime ridden places on earth. I honestly don’t know that JW growth is the worst thing that could happen in that place. Exception is that they are notorious for being gullible and I could see them as sitting ducks for cons and entirely corrupted bodies of elders who are manipulative and users. Can you imagine the way child abuse and spousal abuse and internal congregational financial crimes will be treated?

  When I was young and brainwashed, I had questions. I asked them all the while assuming I was just missing something obvious that everyone else hadnt. Maybe we left early one night? I missed some key learning in 3rd grade math when we moved school districts. Maybe something similar happened when we went camping or to the fair.

  I figured it was the truth and I was ignorant. That wasn't the case, but so many JWs seem to think it's not an issue with the organization's teaching, but with them. There will never be any substantive response from them, so the only problem is that you aren't as stupid( or gullible) as the WT wants you to believe.

  yep, taps out, throws in the towel, waves the white flag!

  in today's watchtower it basically said don't expect any results due to widespread apathy and opposition.

  but you can still bear fruit just by going through the motions of being regular in field service.

  That's really a humiliating acknowledgement. They don't even have that illusion- and yet they are required to prove their loyalty by wasting their lives. What a fine witness in futility.

  shalom,.

  my mom's family is mostly jws.

  during her second marriage, i attended the weekly meeting and sunday meetings (by my own choice) with a family in the very small town we lived, since my mom didn’t attend.

  JW Nut Telling His Story Online

  by pale.emperor in

  while searching for some jw related stuff online, i stumbled across this page created by a pimi.

  his name is steve mcdowell and a watered down version of his story was published in the watchtower https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/wp20150701/bad-to-worse-life-story/.

  however, this version, he says, is the full version.

  I personally know several who were DAd or DAd themselves without being baptized. Several in my family/friend/congregation circle were. After 75 early baptisms were discouraged in my locale. It was a great era to ? Everything

  Literature cart preaching outside a hospital

  by truthseeker in

  2. friends

  here is one thing that really annoys me.. i live opposite a large hospital.

  there is a pedestrian crossing connecting the hospital to the other side of the road.

  it is at the end of the crossing that the dubs have their literature cart.

  Have you ever talked to the JWs parked out there and told them that preying like vultures on a vulnerable population is unconscionable?

  maybe that's too many syllables. Ever tell them that they are asshats for going after sad or ill people?

  they are low class. They know it even with their superiority complex.

  I couldn't take it anymore, although still in because of my wife, I did this...

  i dressed up in a hoodie, double layer so that the cameras at the kingdom hall couldn't recognize me.

  i looked in the mirror up and down so i knew that the cameras, at least at the angle that i knew couldn't see my face.

  i took this disassociation letter, stuck it in the envelope, labeled it, "(congregation's name...boe" by hand and sealed it.

  Prudent and discreet? They are so prudent that they refuse to comply with societal and ethical norms, they can't keep their membership and they have spent hundreds of millions of dollars building a showplace in the middle of a resort area. You could find a long list of impudent deeds, and their lack of transparency is NOT the same as discretion.

  People with power have always done their best to keep their indiscretions to themselves, rather than parading their crazy on the front porch. That discretion has bitten the butt of various churches, ministries and governments recently. Including theirs. It seems that the leaking just keeps along at a steady drip until it reaches a tipping point where no one can claim to be ignorant of the real issues.

  Right now JWs have to keep their heads firmly up their butts to ignore the truth of it. Or they become accomplices and enablers.
