As a small child - born into this cult - this topic was my first doubt- didn't need apostates or the Internet to propagate this doubt in my mind. No it was my conscience that told me this was wrong!

Eagerly anticipating the death of billions!
by stuckinarut2 insurely someone who eagerly looks forward to the death of billions of people (including babies and children) is not emotionally healthy?.
yet, that is the key belief "happily" anticipated by witnesses.... food for thought?.

When I saw this article, when we just recently had one very similar not that long ago, I agreed with your final comments about the younger ones not stepping up... They see how miserable these old school elders are and want nothing to do with it...

Two (circumstantial) lines of evidence for the real motivation behind the Russian lobbying?
by doubtfull1799 in1. 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?

"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

"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😊
