Yes, an exJW friend recommended it to me during the tumultuous time of questioning Jw teachings. Parts of it were slightly sappy to me, but it still got me bad. I was crying all the way through. I still think about it often. Oddly, I just recommended it to someone today in a PM who was asking me what she should read.

Maybe they're trying to prove 607 is still valid, but from a different angle. Something to do with exile instead of destruction?
and THANK YOU WIFI!!

This past week:like the last days of the Iron Curtain
by fr0808 infor those old enough to remember, the last days of soviet rule in eastern europe were astonishing.
you had this unchanging entity that controlled all aspects of people lives for decades.
then came the unraveling.

What an awful turn. This has definitely been a roller coaster for you. You have been so blessed to have such a loving mom. It's a hard decision to discontinue treatment. At least she won't be in pain. -

So sick of the abuse...
by iwasblind ini am still serving as an elder but just hanging in there.
i think their quandry is that they don't see me out in the field, but when they need encouragement and decent prayer they come to me.. i just got off the phone to this poor sister who i have only met twice.
she is not even in my congregation (her sister is).

The new changes is a clear indication that we are one step closer to the end...
by RobertT18 inthat was today's topic over a group chat of my cong's young jbots.
apparently the rumors are circulating everywhere i go, even people from the spanish congs are talking about it.
what's really sad is that the majority of people are already seeing this as "clear" signs of the end coming.

I just wonder what a new release of the video 'JW's-the org behind the name' would look like in 5 years.
I'm thinking it would look kind of deserted.

The Borg has given up!!!!
by Crazyguy init's become obvious in the last few days that the borg is done, done giving one dime over to the membership of the organization.
they know or have been told that it's a waste of time to spend money trying to recruit new members so their cutting all out lays of money in this regard to the bone.
they will continue to spend money where they can make a prophet, keeping the ones in, not thinking and donating.

Lol I just realized phonetically profit=prophet.

Question - thoughts on explaining your fading to teachers?
by elderINewton inweird/odd question, but with our family fading, and our daughter in school how or should one approach teachers with this?
our child is a little too young to understand why we are fading, but it proves challenging in school as they have been, well brainwashed, to say i shouldn't do that etc... .
i don't like explaining anything to teachers about the fade, etc.

What strikes me is that NO explanation is given whatsoever. Here these people have built their lives around this, and then the rug is completely pulled out from under them and they won't even know why.
