Please Switch Off Your Critical Thinking

i have an uneasy feeling inside that something is coming this year or the next.

perhaps a new big announcement that turns jwdom on it's head.. we've seen the statement in the watchtower november 15th, 2013 which said:.

watchtower november 15th, 2013 - page 20, paragraph 17.. .

I agree they are going to change something big. However, I do not see how it could be 1914. They are stuck with that. The overlapping generation is based on that. Also, Jesus chose THEM and ONLY THEM in 1918 or 1919 (sorry I can't remember which one). If 1914 isn't true then they were not chosen and it is a fraud, a scam, not true! They say the devil was cast out of heaven at that time and the resurrection began.
In speaking with my dad who now totally shuns me just because I left, he doesn't understand the teachings, not even simple things. He told me that is not important. He is going to obey and get to live in the paradise.

note the picture on the top right hand side.

the little boy in green is standing between the man's legs (jesus), face forward.

the picture is not appropriate at all and suggestive.

I don't know about the top picture, it is difficult - that thought didn't come to mind. But what is disturbing is the bottom right picture, the woman sitting talking to Jesus. Her hands are severly deformed and it looks like a claw is coming out of her thumb. What does it look like to you?

I am so happy for you. I think your story will be encouraging to others who want to fade. So far my husband and I have faded. Wishing you the very best!

i'm inactive here to the local jw's as i have faded.

i've been slandered and all that, shunned by some but not all, but the elders basically leave me alone.

i still run into to people all over though.

did you have a plan to leave the organization?

When I knew for sure it was not the truth, I had to help my husband out. He was sick of the truth too by this time, but he is not the kind that would do the research that is needed to free yourself of the beast. So we were still going. After I showed my husband the facts and read Crisis of Conscience he knew it was not the truth. We left and never went back. We are now marked and totally shunned but after 43 years how could I give them another day of my life?

Help! Mike & Kim videos all being deleted by Youtube
by mrmagic in

due to watchtower flagging the mike & kim videos on youtube for copyright, youtube is giving them 6 days before they are shutting down their entire youtube channel.

can you help with a mass downloading program and then reuploading them on a mirror ?

would hate to lose all those good videos!

When I was waking up I could not watch their videos. Now I see how much they care about people and want to help bring the Watchtower down. It takes all kinds. Cedars appeals to some, Critical Thinker to others. Mike and Kim will help others. They all have something to share and let's not put any of them down. Haven't we had enough of that? On the last video I watched they were both crying reading an experience. I could see how hurt they are like all the rest of us by the WT.

When the accounts are read and you hear how much money is going to the worldwide work it is very little. When we were going only $200-$300.00 per month. I always thought that was strange. The friends are not contributing. Let's face it a car payment can easily be more than a couple hundred dollars and that is all that is put into the contribution box each month.
We own a very small business yet it takes a lot of money and you can go through money quickly with business expenses. It doesn't take long. Lett said more is going out than coming in, and obviously he is right. They wouldn't be having the cutbacks they are having if they had enough money. My two cents worth, they are going down and I can't wait!
