Is this dude aware of what Witnesses think of what will happen to him when "The End" comes?? Sad indeed that he took part in their propaganda to appear normal. Someone mentioned recently in a post that they think the Society is using a marketing firm. Seeing what's being posted as of late on their website, this wouldn't surprise me at all.

Do you think that it's a coincidence that they posted their view of what cults are just a day or two after Huffington Post did? "When Organized Religion Becomes a Cult"- http://huff.to/16Nfl7V

I definitely prefer ebook. Some who are fading may prefer this too as its easier to keep out of view from family who don't want material like that in the home.
Looking forward to reading it!

Reinstatement Hearing Secretly Recorded and on JWStruggle
by RayPublisher inokay people i have a new video that some of you may be interested in- i believe it is the only one of its kind online.
three elders meet with a young female that knows ttatt and is trying to get back into the jws for family reasons.
the audio also includes the three elders disagreeing and deliberating after she is dismissed from the room and then when they call her back in.

Listened to most of it earlier today. Elder 1 made me sick! So arrogant. I don't know how that poor woman endured it. He sure liked to hear himself talk - asking those questions but being vague so she wasn't able to give him exactly what he wanted. What a jerk. I hope everything works out well for her.

Overlapping generation, like others, was just too much for me. I was always able to rationalize JW reasoning before when I had doubts, but I think I was just at a point when I couldn't lie to myself anymore and when that gem of new light came out in 2010 that was the beginning of the end for me.

Need Help - Looks like some one in my family got to know that we are fading...
by MissConfused inletter from a close family member... need help responding.... what a powerful illustration of the affect that our choice of friends can have on us, especially if we leave jehovah after being 'raised' by him from infancy!.
pack of wolvesthere was a farmer who raised sheep and had trouble with wolves stealing his sheep.
he loved his sheep and didn't want to lose even one of them.

I've heard that same illustration in a talk some years ago. Looking back with some clarity I just see how manipulative it really is. I personally wouldn't respond. Or maybe just make a joke about why in the world would the farmer shoot a talking wolf?? He could have made a fortune off of it!

Are you sure that you want to meet with these 2 brothers? You don't owe them an explanation or a minute of your time.

No matter how many times I hear examples of people like your brother, it still leaves me in utter shock. I'm just blown away that people who are IN refuse to think that the WT has any hand in damaging family bonds. The fact that they blame anyone who simply chooses not to believe makes me so angry. I had a friend recently tell me what he hates the most is not the fact that old friends and family shun him even though never DFd, but that every once in awhile he will get a call or text from a JW asking for something (usually $$, or wanting him to do something free for them since he has a lot of business training). Sounds like my friend is not the only one... I really admire the way you are handling this, keeping your cool and all. It sure got my blood boiling, because his wording is so typical of a Witness. No normal person talks like that. Glad you called your bro out on it, even though he didn't respond to that comment directly.

Thanks wizzstick and gopher! That site is a great resource. Had no idea it was out there. I bet my aunt's memory had failed her. The drama from 76 sounds fairly close to what she may have been talking about.
