on my introduction post a few people expressed interest in how the worldwide church of god (wwcg) imploded.
i think maybe in hopes something similar will happen with the jws.
i think the jws will also eventually experience a meltdown but probably not in the same way since the power structure was a bit different.

i just thought you should know that mrs cedars has finally taken the plunge and joined the forum.
she was able to log on for the first time yesterday.. though we both "awakened" at different stages, mrs cedars was very supportive and non-judgmental when i first began exploring my beliefs from a critical standpoint.
she is currently in the process of reading crisis of conscience and aquainting herself with some of the facts of witness history that were hitherto unknown.
WELCOME MRS. CEDARS

found this very interesting.
she hasn't met jws and made this video based on what she had seen from ex jws videos.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvw9otqqe_k&feature.
Young minds want to know. It is better for her to learn through u-tube then to be caught up in a distructive CULT which would RUIN her young life by shunning and disfellowshiping policies. Smart girl!!! Stay away from those HOVIE JOVIES THEY WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE.

thats my opinion because the wts really has been preaching false information now for so long about the end times and armageddon soon.. also the doctrine that jesus chirt has taken a position over his earthly and heavenly kingdom in 1914 .... etc.
its been a winfall marketing scheme for such a long time, which now really doesn't have much leg to stand on.. time in conjunction with reality has made the wts's doctrines redundantly weak or useless more or less.. i'm even believing the leaders of the wts are even starting to know this for themselves.. the wts future and its main supporting pieces of literature, the watchtower and awake magazines may eventually be tossed aside.
for some new doctrines as well newly named pieces of literature .

to all our brothers and sisters in happy valley:.
we, the governing body, are happy to welcome our first worldly college to our insular, culty, fruitly little group.. we have so much in common.
sooooo much.. did you know that while we think that kids are our future, we will spare no expense in exploiting them?.
Alltimejeff: I would not be able to say it better. If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything, and I agree that I would rather die knowing I stood for protection of those young ones who were and will be abused by this corrupt WTB&TS. They must PAY and PAY BIG FOR THEIR SINS. I hope everyone will stand up and be counted for what is right and proper, we must protect our children.

a d.o.
said they are watching and directing the preaching work.. i thought it was more like watching who was having sex,(prono perverts).. -also they are useless and are very poor in governing.. -their directing the gb/fds is a farse..
The 144,000 is a symbolic number not to be taken literal. Now, I do believe a great crowd will rule in heaven, without number.

just want to know what anyones thoughts/advice please.
am doing my best to put the "bf" out of my mind and move on (did a real number on me) but more things have come to light recently but if i was to "rat on him" who would i approach and how would i phrase it?
i doubt if going to go down that road but would be interested to know.
It's like I told my non witness friends, that the J-dubs who act the most pious are the biggest sinners of all.

my son came to visit today, he and i are getting a lot closer since he left his jw home and thanks largely to his mother and step father alienating him big time.
he needs one of his parents to help him out at times and he can't turn to his mother.
thats sad but its her loss, and his i guess.. anyway, he recently got himself a girlfriend, a worldly girl at that.
THAT'S GREAT NEWS AUSSIE. I'AM VERY HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!!!
