Is the Reachout Trust about to fold its tent for good?
by slimboyfat in
1. social
2. current
as for a few others here, i know the reachout trust in the uk played a part in my mental journey away from the jws.

i get the reachout newsletter by email and the last few mentioned that they are scaling back their operations because of financial shortfall and that doug is no longer taking a wage.

i also wonder whether mike and ann thomas are no longer associated with the reachout trust because i can't find mention of them anywhere of the website.

Since Some Were Asking About The Vast Apostate Army...
by Tuesday in
1. jw
2. friends
hey everyone, a couple people were asking about the november 5th, 2017 reference in the last hitler as the leader of the watchtower parody video so i figured i'd swing by and post a link to the latest recruitment video for the vast apostate army.. all my other videos are for my daughter and to help her if she ever questions religion (or jws specifically), this one however is for me.

i always get a really big grin on my face when dustin talks about the vast apostate army and i really just want to set him off for a few videos.

so i think this outlines the purpose of the vast apostate army and gives you a cool chorus to sing along to.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=corqwanyuos.

So what caused you to have doubts in the first place?
by nicolaou in
1. jw
2. friends
i had no doubts at all about the 'truth' untill a friend of mine in the cong' began falling away.

in trying to help him i had to ask questions and do research and that of course cracked the doors of my mind open for the first time in over thirty years.. years ago, when jwd allowed members to have signatures, i used the following quote from voltaire as mine.

i still love it.. doubt is uncomfortable, certainty is ridiculous..

Do not Disassociate, Anull your baptism
by jwfacts in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i am now a jedi, so trust me on this.. .

why dis-associate, you are just playing by the wts rules?

how can you dis-associate anyway, you never thought you were baptised as a watchtower society member, you thought your dedication was to god, so why formally disassociate from something you did not formally join?

She was a fine sister
by silentlambs in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
she was a fine sister with a history that went back six generations with jehovahs witnesses.

her family boasted well over 1000 jw family members, many of which had high station within the organization.

this proud heritage was marred by another fact in the familys history this sister had not disclosed.
