Employed these tactics and they work like a charm. It's a real game changer once you realize they have absolutely no power at all. You don't have to answer any of their questions.

So are they changing the past now? I'm confused. I never heard of this 10 million tract campaign before. (Not that I really ever paid attention to Jw history.)

Amazing that the writing department can't see the irony of these articles as of late. The only conclusion is that someone writing this stuff is awake or just desperately dense.

God's name
by Gorbatchov infirst at all, there is a new marketing video of god's name, clearly saying the name of god is jehovah.. link: https://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodbible/docid-502014331_1_video.
and then, there is the video with geoffrey jackson (gb) clearly saying that the original name of god is not known and the use of jehovah is because of it is the most used variant in english.. link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwv_8ocvkj8.
so, something contradicts here, isn't it?.

Jehovah is a catchphrase. It's simply a marketing tool for the organization. Without it they are nothing, a powerless invisible worst friend.

Deleted Elders?
by Farkel ini knew about elders being "deleted" and have commented what a strange and pejorative term that is, but it wasn't until "wtwizard" and "designs" commented on another thread about it that it actually hit home for me.. one cannot step down as an elder with any dignity!
elder's can't quit, with the word "quit" being as in "he quit his job.
" elder's can't resign as in "he resigned as chairman of the board for xyz corp.".

I've heard that term "deleted" used before on a number of occasions. My case was different.
They said that I was "no longer serving as an elder", possibly due to the circumstances behind it being perinatal loss. This was after many months of doing absolutely nothing in the congregation and missing many meetings. (They didn't know the real reason was that I had discovered TTATT and learned of the child sex abuse and rape cases in the Borg.)

Great story!
I remember when we became "bible study people" and not "the magazine people."
Some friends got so used to just blindly placing magazines and NOT using the bible that they got kind of a bad rap. So starting quite a few years ago we were instructed to always use a scripture when placing the monthly trash paper. We were also instructed to ask for bible studies and demonstrate them where possible. Suddenly that was supposed to change us to "bible study people" instead of "magazine people."
Funny thing is now the Witlesses are just "Cart people" and "Jw.org people."

The Watchtower Society's Purpose
by compound complex in"the sole purpose of our existence as a society is to announce the kingdom established in 1914 and to sound the warning of the fall of babylon the great [in 1918].
we have a special message to deliver.

Their purpose is to go against the grain in every way. To lie as much as can be handled by the R&F. To con as much money out of the R&F as humanly possible. Finally to do their utmost to destroy faith in society as a whole, and break up families.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think my wife doesn't like confrontation so she would rather avoid the subject and honestly I don't blame her. It's her mother after all.
I told her to tell her mom to mind her business. 1thes 4:11. I know she means well but we are almost 40 years old now. Honestly I think we got life pretty much figured out by now.
