What Type of Future do YOU look forward to?
In the close future, eating the biggest, juiciest hamburger on my birthday along with a glass of fine wine and my never-JW-family-founded-after-your-cult-took-the-rest-from-me around me.
In my later years, dying in a big comfy bed with a belly full of wine and a girls mouth round my cock.
Good times ahead.
How about you?
so all the bs and hyperbole aside, to me it really looks like the cult is in trouble.
shrinking member, selling halls.
the move to televangelism is really strange to me.
The amount of new PIMOs on exJW Reddit is staggering. The younger generation are waking up at a terrific speed. I read stories on there and the amount of people attending while knowing its bullshit and trying to leave is very comforting.
Remove the shunning of those who leave and I reckon at least a third would dissappear from the stats immediately.

41 well, as elizabeth heard the greeting of mary, the infant in her womb leaped, and elizabeth was filled with holy spirit 42 and loudly cried out: “blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruitage of your womb!
43 so how is it that this privilege is mine, to have the mother of my lord come to me?
This one bible passage proves abortions are wrong and honoring Mary is right
Are you sure?
Samaria will be held guilty, For she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword, Their little ones will be dashed in pieces, And their pregnant women will be ripped open. - Hosea 13:16
a friend is trying to figure out the approximate date or letter, which indicated a change from the wording of public announcements.. they changed from saying the person has been disfellowshipped to saying that a person was no longer one of jehovah's witnesses.. i thought it was around the time of the bulgaria scandal.. could you help us out to remember when this change took place?
if we could remember the approximate year, we could look up all the boe's for that year and might find the letter.. many thanks!.
atlantis!.
I believe this ''No longer a JW'' change was in early 2005.
This sounds about right. I was born in the mid 1980s and remember the "so and so has been disfellowshipped" announcements as a kid.

can you contribute your time and energy?.

Nowwhat: What happened to the money from when they raided the kh's bank accounts and all the money donated for critical need for 1000's of new kh's and then the subsequent selling off of kh's?
Going by the picture, I think they ate it.
good news from god!.
lesson 6. .
what hope is there for the dead?.
This is hilarious!!
when i was a kid in the late sixties the type of books we would study was very intense compared to the bull shit pablum that they put out today?
i mean the finished mystery and others now its these stupid books that don't dive deep into the beliefs.
.
I remember being only 7yo and us all studying the Revelation book (first edition). I sat through every book study just looking at the pictures. That was a deep book... bullshit of course, but deep shit.
Now? It's all pretty pictures and rhetorical questions in big letters.
I dont see what a newly interested person could get out of it if they were looking for "deep bible knowledge". Even the study edition of the Watchtower is, literally, the same stuff we'd studied over and over but dumbed down.
i predict that in a year kingdumb halls will be replaced by zoom.
they will still have assembly halls but will charge a heavy entry fee.
baptisms will continue to be so low that would not be worth counting.
I still think there'll be a split within my lifetime. One of the GB or their helpers after this GB are dust will do a Rutherford and start printing their own shit and claim to be "persecuted" and start an off-shoot... which will be whitewashed as anyone who didnt follow him were apostates.
Any failed Watchtower predictions can be brushed off as "the GB were apostates".
The pattern is repearing itself:
1879: CT Russel - one man leading
1917: Board of directors leading
1918: JF Rutherford prints his own shit and breaks away. JW founded. One man leading.
1976: Governing body leading
Who is the most narcassistic of the helpers? Perhaps the guy with the glass, Gary Breaux.
unbelievable.
okay actually it's very believable.

The "Jesus was accused of being a glutton" comment was surely a reference to Tony the turd in his bottlegate video right?
Yeah, we fucking know he does mate.
or..as i remember the title..circuit servants wives.
but then i left 40+ years ago.. any recollections of those females that led such an unnatural existence?.
those that i recall seemed such aloof creatures..
I never used to bother with COs or their wives. They'd be flocked with their adoring fans the moment they turned up in the KH. Elders families usually were in their close circle.
My mother used to have the CO over for lunch every time. Was so awkward having to watch what you do and say in their presence. My mothers accent changing from Margy Clarke to Joanna Lumley the moment they're here. (UK members will get the reference).
Always found them fake and annoying.
