Skipper, that is great!!! Congratulations. I think it is interesting that someone can "practice" the truth for decades and once the truth is revealed it all comes falling down like a house of cards. That's the way it did with me, my faith fell in one night like a house of cards, and I was deep in it and raised it it for generations. I sometimes wonder if my father had lived if he would have seen the TTAT. Great experience, it helps all of us to not give up, but like you to wait for the correct moment to speak.

'Great ROI'...successfully fading

about 4 months earlier than that, i stumbled upon an article about the wts being associated with the un.
that got me into finding out ttat eventually.

With the July 15 WT approaching, would this be the ideal opportunity to start an ACTIVELY VOCAL fade?
by Captain Blithering inby 'actively vocal', i do not mean openly criticising the articles and pointing out the inconsistencies or flipflops (not footwear, reversals).
i do mean letting people know that you're finding it hard to understand the new truth, and the fact that there is therefore old truth, or falsities, (is that a word?
it is now), therefore if there are falsehoods (that's the word, of course), then that puts into doubt the extent of jah's involvement in the preparation/dissemination of it all... (and making it clear you're not saying they aren't gods prophets on earth, just that you're not sure, don't know).. the reason i ask is cos i'm finding it hard to completely fade without an external reason.

Jude 22/23
22?Also, continue showing mercy to some that have doubts; 23?save [them] by snatching [them] out of the fire. (If after showing mercy to the ones that have doubts, if they persist in their gangreneous mentally diseased thinking, disfellowship them for not agreeing with you). In other words, if you love someone, let them go, but if they don't come back, hunt them down and shoot them.

WHAT IF the Watchtower Society were a MAP company instead?
by Terry inthe world's most accurate map maker advertises:.
"ours are the best and most accurate maps in the entire world!.
how can we make such an absolute claim?.

Yes, Brothers the end is imminent, the generation is overlapping. If you were lost you would stop and ask for directions from someone knowledgeable. Brothers, Jehovah's Witnesses have the TRUTH, Jehovah's Witnesses know where they are going. People are coming to us for answers because we are not lost as the false religions that Jesus condemned. Yes, he has given us a spiritual paradise to enjoy while we wait for Armeggodon. Look around the convention at your brothers and sisters enjoying the spiritual paradise. (Clapping) We can see that Jehovah has provided a faithful and discrete slave to guide us in these critical times hard to deal with. The Faithful slave is God's Channel to mankind, and the evidence indicates that the Faithful slave continues to listen for his voice, his direction.

Excellent illustration, Terry! Interesting that Watchtower Bible and Tract Society's destination is still just around the corner, but it's really just as illusive as ever.
Watchtower Bible and Tract Society's map is based, not from the satellite perspective, but from the original cartographer William Miller, who's movement had the destination in 1844 that ended up the bust known as the "Great Disappointment". Most stopped following the Cartographer Miller because of his incompetence.
However, Charles T. Russel, picks up the discarded flawed map based on the imagination of William Miller, a Baptist minister. The map doesn't even have a north arrow, meaning there is no orientation. However, after making a few changes begins the whole deception again in 1874, then 1879, 1914, 1916, 1925, 1954 (a forty year generation from 1914), then 1975, then any number of points between the 1980's and 1994, (seventy or eighty year generation) and before the end of the millinium. Now the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society indicates that the end is now imminent, that they have succesfully led us to the goal.
All the while the new incompetent cartographers after C.T. Russel started claiming their divine backing from 1918-1919 and approval by their God, as the "Faithful and discrete slave" who is appointed to "lead" the domestics, they are God's "channel" and only THEY know the way, the direction of the "True" North, or the "TRUTH". However, they are still groping in the dark as a composite blind guide on a 130 year snipe hunt. But wait, yes, they admit, there have been some mistakes by mere humans, but it was the light's fault in reading the map, so they have changed those lights many times.
It's just unbelievable.

Whaaaaahappened??? " Videos like this aren't going to keep the kids in. As soon as they are old enough they will leave like most do."
True, but Watchtower, a corporation that doesn't care where they get the voluteer labor from, and before the child can make a decision to leave, WT can use the child labor to carry some tracts and magazines to the door and be an innocent face to the householder for a crooked religion. I placed more magazine and books as a kid than I did as an adult. Lol
