  the whitewashing of tm111 from jw history continues - tending to confirm that he was booted.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ghbhv6961a.

  i'm pretty sure the cult got him to sign a nice nda - in exchange for a lifetime residency in the house bought by wt..

  I saw the whole video through. If that lady has a legitimate complaint against Tony Morris, then talking to the security guard at a gated community is hardly the way to go about it. What she accuses TM3 of is a crime, pure and simple. She needs to tell the police.

  So is this the smoking gun?

  If so, how did they think they could cover it up? It's the equivalent of the pope being accused of CSA! If this is true and they're trying to make it go away, you might as well stick a fork in the WT; it's done!

  Reinstatement...the aftermath?

  by TxNVSue2023 in

  i'm in the process of being reinstated ( my df'ing story is on here).

  because i've never been in this position before, i don't know how i will be treated once i'm reinstated.

  i moved ti a new city/state and i don't know a single person here or in my new congregation i am attending.

  I agree that she doesn't seem like a troll. Just someone who is shellshocked and trying to make sense of a bad situation. And let's face it, with all the dfed and apostates here, where else is she going to get real answers to her questions? Certainly not from those who threw her under the spiritual bus! If she's sincere, she's turning to the only people who may be able to help her.

  Unfortunately, she wants to go back and most people here would never encourage her to. It's paradoxical on her part: if she is reinstated, she will be expected to shun the very people she is asking for advice. But I'm not blaming her too heavily. Cognitive dissonance is a very real thing in cultic environments, and this board is one of the few places where she might get some personal support. She certainly won't get it back in the Kingdom Hall.

  didn't know where to post this topic so put it under entertainment....what do you thinks trolls are wanting to accomplish on this forum?

  are they in it for entertainment?

  are they doing research for the 9 faithful frauds?

  Bad phrasing on my part. You are physically in, in that you still attend the Kingdom Hall, hoping for reinstatement. But does disfellowshipping mean that you can't do the door to door work?

  So in that sense, you're physically out?

  No, you're not trolling. You're PIMI, but not accepted by the very people who claim to be the voice of God. You're doing your best to make sense of the whole thing. I don't envy the position you're in; it must be very difficult 😔.

  Disfellowshipped, Seeking Reinstatement

  by NotFormer in

  do disfellowshipped ones who want to be reinstated still have to sit up the back of the kingdom hall, away from everyone else, not allowed to speak to anyone?.

  when did you realise that it wasn't worth it and finally decided to stop playing the game?.

  is your life better now?.

  Blondie: SMH! How "merciful" of them!

  Is this "clarification" related to the pressure being put on them by governments about the disfellowshipping and shunning of children?

  For those who have been through it, what was it like? When did you realise that it wasn't worth it and finally decided to stop playing the game?

  Is your life better now?

  Stan Livedeath: Sue did defend Tony Morris in another thread. Could she really be Tony?🤔

  Not really. She's just another WT R&F keyboard warrior, trying to convince herself and others that WT is da Troof. Even though she claims to have been unfairly excommunicated, she still wants to feel that those who abused her are God's agents on earth.

  Our Kingdom Ministry

  my understanding was that this was the magazine regularly published for insiders only, unlike the watchtower and the awake!

  looking online, it seems that the wt ceased publication of this in 2016. is it due to a name change (it seems to have changed its name several times over the years) or has it been succeeded by a new publication?

  or has it ceased to be?.

  It sounds like they are running out of ideas on how to excite the R&F and keep them keen. "The end is nigh" seems to have run its course. You can only cry "Wolf!" so many times before the adrenaline rush fades.

  Modern WT looks like a sad parody of its former self. They still do some of the things they used to do with some modicum of success, but with less enthusiasm and less intelligence. The organisation seems to be running on fumes.
