JW Letter Writing Conspiracy

by freemindfade in

just had a wild conspiracy theory.

get your tin hats everyone.

what if this mass letter writing is all a bethel conspiracy to increase declining service hours?

All or nothing

I just posted this hour increase theory on another thread- totally agree

Two (circumstantial) lines of evidence for the real motivation behind the Russian lobbying?

by doubtfull1799 in

1. in bro sandersons latest video (in which he shows a very impressive skill with russian) he mentions two likely results of the imminent russian ban: the liquidation of the branch office and its assets, and the individual brothers capacity to worship freely.

no prizes for guessing which one gets mentioned first!.

2. why have the gb never attempted in the past, and are not interested in attempting now, such a letter writing campaign in other communist countries where the work is under similar restrictions, like china, or vietnam?

All or nothing

Also don't forget how many hours can be counted writing these letters...making the numbers look good

Observations From an Ex-Elder Part 3 - Searching for the Lost Sheep

by doubtfull1799 in

"what man among you with 100 sheep, on losing one of them, will not leave the 99 behind in the wilderness and go after the lost one until he finds it?

" - luke 15:4. disclaimer: by posting the following observations i am not complaining.

i am happy to be left alone.

All or nothing

Thank you to everyone who has commented so far... I was struggling with if I should go to the memorial and this thread reminds why I don't go to that cold building with unloving strangers anymore...and why I won't be attending the memorial this year

"I’m glad I don’t go any more. At least I don’t have to listen to the hypocritical, self-serving comments of the people there that I know live different lives out of the sight of other jws, but not out of the eyes of the god they say they serve."

long story short I was there yesterday and you hit the nail on the head- it was brutal

My Introduction - An ex-elder's story of waking up later in life.

by doubtfull1799 in

background:.

my parents got the “truth” while i was in primary school.

i was baptised at 14. i loved school and was extremely studious.

All or nothing

"This was my turning point. I now realised I had been conned. I had believed in a lie. And the implications were devastating to say the least. I cried for days. For my lost hope of everlasting life. For the harsh reality of my mortality."

this is exactly what happened to me. We were raised in this thing called the truth- we weren't raised to believe and accept we were going to die... I struggle still 3 years later... Welcome - glad u are here 😊

"The watered down versions of meetings, with videos, publications on i-pads that somehow no longer contain demons. Unsingable songs, elders who still bumble through the scripted parts, the only good part is no longer having to give talks in the school

Associate with people who judge you, lucky if they say hi as they quickly walk by, to encourage their real friends on the other side of the hall. Nobody wants to be dragged down by your problems."

This above comment is spot on. My anxiety went away when I stopped forcing myself to waste 6 hours of my week going to a building with people who did not have the "love amoung themselves" that is supposedly one of the "identifying marks" of the true religion!! Haha

i hope your new job is rewarding😊

i want to thank everyone for the support you give in this forum, i know i'm just one of many who feel this way.

i'm not just talking about feedback about my issues but overall i have leaned so much from what is said to help others who have/are leaving the wts.

i also want to add the ripple effect that what help one person here goes forward to everyone else in our lives!
