leaving the org was not a doctrinal choice for me as it was for many on this board.

i left mentally because of the boredom and then i physically left by being dfd.

i have been reading here for about a month or so and now i know i made the right decision.

don't let any of the watchtower's propaganda deceive you.

i encountered some private conversations among witnesses about the subject and it's ugly.

yes, there is suffering as many of these victims try to live on charity and can't find jobs in the worst economy since the depression.. some of their private observations include shock that you need a college degree for nearly any job and that the watchtower society couldn't have picked a worse time to do this to them .. all the while these complaints are discussed, i try not to show that i am astounded by their bizarre "logic".

New member says hey

i have lurked now and then, just decided to join.. my older brother and i were raised by our jw mom, but our dad was a non-practicing catholic.

so we went to the hall, but were considered "weak" witnesses, since our family still celebrated xmas and birthdays, to appease my dad i suppose.

as a kid, i loved these holidays.. anyways, when my brother was 17 (i was 13), he spent a few weeks with our cousins in ky, who are all gung-ho j-dubs, and upon his return, he decided he was going to be more "theocratic".

New light Watchtower magazine leaked from organization weeks ahead of general release

by cedars in

http://jwsurvey.org/governing-body-2/new-light-watchtower-magazine-leaked-from-organization-weeks-ahead-of-general-release.

if doctrinal explanations are missing from the article, it is because they are also missing from the magazine.. i would like to give my thanks again to my source for supplying me with the magazine article weeks ahead of its scheduled release.

it showed remarkable courage, because risks were taken.

The Watchtower still doesn't address the big question. What kind of inspection did Jesus make during 1914-1919?? What was his choosing based on? The critieria or details for being chosen are not given in Malachi 3:1-4. Neither is there any element of Jesus communicating doctrines or wishes via an earthly channel in the parable of Matthew 24:45-47.
