Thanks Magnum. That's what I've been thinking lately, and I love that avoidjw.com has so much. I can't say it has it all, because that is probably just impossible.

Was this elder full of bs again regarding the complete wt library online?
by Wakanda inthis is my first time making an o.p.
an elder told me that he had access to a website online that had all the old bound volumes and books.
also, he made sure to say it was not an apostate website, but a 'legit' website made by brothers.

Hello all. This is my first time making an o.p. So, here goes. An elder told me that he had access to a website online that had all the old bound volumes and books. Also, he made sure to say it was not an apostate website, but a 'legit' website made by brothers. I really wanted to know what website he was talking about, but this guy is a master manipulator and I never got it out of him. (Change subject, deflect, etc.) I can't find anything like this except for avoidjw. Ha ha, he was probably being a naughty boy going to an apostate site, right?
Just the fact that he had to say it was not apostate, hmmm. It was so weird I remember it even though I was totally asleep at the time.
ps I'm not comfortable with an introductory o.p. yet, apologies.

JW organization knows human nature well: Ignoring questions works - and equally, it sends a message: "Don't even bother to ask".
I grew up hearing "You shouldn't even have to ask".
Cult parents following the cult in every way.

Welcome. Your situation reminds me of so many stories, and you can find many of us telling our stalking stories on youtube (jwstruggle, kimmikey, etc, etc,). Therapy may help, and showing the therapist the texts. He or she should be able to give you good ideas on how to cope, and where you can get legal help if possible. Some of the best therapy is to keep hanging out with us! A warning about professional therapists though, they are notoriously undereducated or uneducated on cults and the cult of Jehovah's Witnesses.
If you are trying to fade, try not to get too frazzled, and say something that they will use to DF you. Stay calm and ignore the crazy crap!
Hope this helps.

She now has a bunch of videos of a recording with elders, a c.o. and a poor lady who stands her ground on 'ttatt'. They range from six to fifteen minutes long. Here's a link to one of them:
CO/Elder - pt.2 More Defense of Shunning
Bridget rocks; I love her channel.

2015 Convention Reminders Video!

I'm fifth generation born in. :( Anyway, here's a convention reminder video story on how I woke up:
One evening while listening to the meeting at home as I normally did due to severe allergies I googled convention reminders because I wanted to see the video everyone else was watching! There was no JW approved way to watch it at that time except to go meeting. Anyway, it popped up from google and I watched it. I think a link was provided from this site, but I remember being taken to another video watching site that I didn't recognize, and the video was private. I could only get to it and watch it through the link from jehovahs-witnesses.com. I was disturbed by the comments I saw, and quickly realized it was.... apostates! Well, I was just glad to have watched it... But, a seed was planted, thank the Universe, Gaia, God, Science, or whoever! I don't remember how or why, a couple months later, I stumbled on Eric Struggles disfellowshipping video during meeting and I couldn't help watching all of them that night. It took from the end of meeting till about 2:00 a.m. I drank a bottle of wine and disagreed with Eric the whole time (cognitive dissonance, eh?). However, again a seed was planted, and I started thinking (independently, oh no! ;). In large part because he was good at talking to those elders and so sincere, a quality almost completely missing in JWdom. Then I started searching, found JWfacts, which was scary at first, but became totally addicting! A few months later I decided to re-watch Eric's videos and agreed with about 85% by that time! Now I'm totally awake and trying to help friends and family wake up and trying not to throw up when I have pretend in field circus or when I "try" to go to a meeting (testing the allergies).
Keep those leaks coming!

6 New Kingdom Halls Built In The US This Year
by James Jack inon our local needs part tonight, the elder (on the local ldc), conducting the part, said he just got back from a meeting in memphis tn with members from the us branch rdc conducting the meeting.
they mentioned that only 6 new kingdom halls and 2 major re-models were completed in 2016.
"it may seem like a small accomplishment, considering under the old rbc arrangement there was some 700 projects on the average each year being done", "but, this is going 5-10 years of training to kick this new program into optima production".

Yeah, wondrous contraction. I know of four halls sold and three of those halls were way out in the country with the congregations being dissolved. Can you feel the love? Another congregation was dissolved in a city leaving room at that hall... for more contraction (another displaced congregation). Notably, I am not well informed, and this is all in one state of the midwest! There are probably more in my state that I do not know about.

The Great October 2016 Invite to the Sunday Meeting campaign ...
by freddo inwell how's it going round your way?
massive increase of interested ones?
did you even know it was supposed to be happening?

About 75-80 pubs.
First Sunday ~30
Second Sunday ~40
I think they are, again, trying to save
paper, make that save money. The campaign is all about using those little tiny invites instead of the ever decreasing magazines. No special effort to invite inactives. Next month they can ask the congs "Did you have many magazines left over? Better decrease your order!"
