its been a little over 2 years since i left the watchtower.
in that time the magazines have been cut, the birth of jwtv, jw-org.
carts for preaching, removed district overseers, cut assemblies, demand all the money from the congregations, stop construction and layoff bethelites, change the format of the tmschool .

A major change will come not from the Watchtower but from our side... it's only a matter of time before before the Apostate community responds in a way beyond forums, Facebook groups and YouTube.Real world interaction. It's coming.
I never thought of that.

If the GB do encourage this then they could also deal with issues re. married couples doing oral and having sex for pleasure by saying that 'New Light' shows us that sex should only be used for procreation.
I'd better stop now ... I don't want to be giving them ideas
Yes stop, one of my young jw friends would hate you because he just married someone that looks like this;

I think she has flashes of awakening
Thanks for that, I know I can't give up hope. Something might happen to wake up those we love.

1914 is going to go
I wish,
but I think that's asking for to much.
what is a cult and what is a religion?
its open to debate.
who has the authority to say for certain what is a cult and what is a religion?

(True…which is why the best people to consult would be those who study cults, like Hassan, Lipton, Festinger and other trained professionals, rather than say...Joe Sixpack)
Guilty as charge. That's the problem when we are still in, we only listen to what the GB said a cult was. The only difference is the GB don't have a sixpack.

I personally try not to use the word cult anymore. If you use that word with a JW, they will run the 100 yard dash in 9 seconds flat. And that includes grandmothers. I have found that if I use the term "High Control Groups." they will at least listen to what I have to say.

Wishfully thinking here... I do believe what you say, but I wish there was a way to show JWs the evidence that this is what goes on
Even if there was evidence, the members would just say, "OH MY" and life would continue like nothing happen. Like the old song use to say, "Keep Your Eyes on the Prize"
I'm actually am getting very pessimistic about waking them up.

J.A., you've left in exciting times.
Tell me about it, it’s been one freaking ride. The good thing though is that all the changes have made my decision a lot, lot easier. I have never doubted leaving because of all the crazy things they started doing right as soon as I left. They have actually help me leave the WT without any reservations.
Expect AWAKE to go away or go 100% digital, maybe WATCHTOWER too. Conventions will be smaller and crammed into Assembly Halls way more than before. Expect Friday sessions to end (if they haven't already).
I agree with your thoughts.
Maybe they will start charging $3 to park a car at Assembly Halls
They are already doing that where I live except it’s $7 per car. They did have some kind of fight because first they picked up the money at the Kingdom hall then when the friends went to the assembly, no one was asking for the parking tickets. So what happen to all the money they picked up at the Khall??????
