So glad to be leaving this cult now. Pretty soon the dubs will be back to just handing a "read me" card at the doors cause they will be too stupid to speak.

Watchtower's upcoming teaching
by biblexaminer innewest watchtower revelations from heaven indicate the importance of color in teaching the truth about god.. the governing body has prayed fervently over this new teaching and jehovah's witnesses the world around receive it gratefully as "food at the proper time".. in view of the importance placed on color, as found in god's holy word the bible, the governing body has deemed it necessary for a new understanding on important spiritual matters.
(see link).... http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200001009?q=color&p=par.
we can see from the aforementioned information that color in the scriptures should not be neglected, as it plays a vital role in understanding god's plan for mankind.

Funny text. If God was truly backing the work we would see numbers similar to the first century when thousands would convert in a single day.
If God truly existed and "didn't want anyone to be destroyed," then you would see mass conversions of people. Instead we see massive amounts of people leaving the org.

Planning for retirement:
a normal person: "Hope I will have enough to retire comfortably and be able to still have some fun here and there!"
dub: "Retire? Yea right!! The new world will definitely be here by then. Every penny I get now I spend!"

That lady "Anne" sounds like a grade A bitch. Seriously? Your own mother, the woman who birthed you and took care of you and sacrificed everything for your care, is treated like an unwanted rat. So disgusting it's unreal.
(This illustration probably didn't happen anyways. But now some dubs might get the mind to do this with their own "out" relatives.)

Welcome and sorry you had to get involved with this cult. It's good to hear that you taking care of yourself. I hope that soon your wife will also be able to wake up and both of you can come out together.
What worked for my wife may not work for yours. I started planning weekend getaways that made us miss meetings. I used those opportunities to tell her how I felt about the organization and how depressed I was as an Elder. That seemed to work. I slowly shared little things with her and in time she too woke up. She is still in a bit mentally but she wants to get out and move on as well.
Maybe try to plan things on meeting nights and see how that goes. Have lots of fun together and cement your relationship. Build friendships with outsiders and get close with your "worldly" relatives so you have a support system.

Be ready to obey!!
by kairos inhttp://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20131115/seven-shepherds-eight-dukes/.
from paragraph 17-. at that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.
all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.. i think i know what the instructions will be.it's nothing new.

What scriptural basis do they have for this direction? Was there an example that they "drew from?" Anyone that doesn't see a problem with that statement needs to get their head examined to make sure the old meat sponge is still there. -

The hall I attend currently has the lowest publisher hours in the circuit as well. It's been like that for years. Our last CO pretty much put us in a state of depression. He was a boring CO, his wife was trying too hard to be "hip" and it was a recipe for disaster. We used to be one of the highest in the circuit until that goon came along.
Now everyone at the hall could really care less about serve us. I see pioneers going to Costco and buying wine and crackers when they are supposed to be banging on doors. Funny as this pioneer and Elder usually is the one complaining the most about low hours.

dbq' overlapping generation question is good.
Have her read Genesis 50: 22-23 and ask her how many generations of children did Joseph see in 110 years?
Then have her look up the word "generation" and "contemporary" in the dictionary.
110%3= 36.66 years for a generation.

Ask her if dubs allow moms to breastfeed their babies?
If she says yes, and I venture she will, then ask why can they breastfeed their babies but cannot accept a blood transfusion?
There are white blood cells in breast milk.

If Jesus message was simply, "believe and be saved", why not go door to door and just ask the people if they believe? If they say yes, all done. Don't need to go there again. If they say no, tell them they are gonna die at the big A unless they believe. The householder can then change their mind.
That method could save time and printing cost for all that watered down shit the dubs print.
