Look at all the other opinions that have been expressed by Jason BeDuhn. Helps put into perspective what he says about the DubBible.

If I was still PIMI, I'd be terrified
by neat blue dog injust looking at the pictures in tomorrow's wt study makes me think of the nightmares i used to have as a child.
and nowadays the pictures are sometimes more realistic, so for any who are truly mentally in, this has a terrible effect on them and even their life choices.
looking in as a pimo or pomo it seems almost comical that adults would believe in this sci-fi bible fan-fiction, but it's not funny when we remember that all ages of the r&f are being manipulated by the gb by these cheap and evil means.. .

It almost seems like a cult.

And for those of us elders who served for years think back to meeting time rotations!
We never asked the Spanish if they wanted to rotate into Sundays. We (white privileged men) were #1 too coward to have to deal with the backlash after announcing to the cong that they would have to endure Saturday meetings, #2 were unwilling give up Sunday football, #3 assumed the Spanish "love their Saturday slot" so why even ask them.

A black brother gave a public talk at our all white KH one Sunday, had his son turn the lights off at a predetermined point, and made the statement loudly into the microphone..."turn the lights off and we're all black".
Yeah, um, JWs are generally racists. Both from what he said and the backlash over his "stunt" that led to me having to give a local needs several weeks later from all the nasty gossip.

It's a social and emotional form of modern-day torture.
On the other side of what ultimately is only short-term torture, exists an amazing freedom in every way.
One bad day outside the Watchtower cult is better than a thousand good days in it. This is something that seems best appreciated over time.

What happens to Bethelites?
by rickroll inso if someone puts their life into serving the cult for free at bethel, then say after 25 or 30 years they are not able to for one reason or another such as illness, or family issue or old age, does the cult have any safety net for these people or is it you serve until you can't and when you can't you just go away?

They are allowed to remain special full time servants (which includes a monthly allowance) and many given a KH apartment in their new "assignment" with most expenses covered by the cong/circuit.

The better question would be:
Did anyone ever turn in a truthful report card?

Bingo LongHairedGal.
All I would add is you need to project "am broke/injured". If you do than you'll be the hero who's modest and humble, recognizing that you have to "step down in order to step up to Jehovah."
And on the night your deletion is announced maneuver things to get yourself on that platform to say the closing prayer. That'll buy you a shard load of acceptance.

Pioneered in the SE USA because it was a requirement to go into the circuit work.
No good memories other than the narcissistic ones that accompanied being a CO brown nosing, spiritual lobotamy giving, pedophile protector.
