  The reason behind why the ex-JW community can never match Jehovah's Witnesses' success.

  an average of five kingdom halls being constructed daily, almost 8 million brothers and sisters, dissemination of bible literature in 595 languages, 111,795 congregations worldwide, distribution of 179 million bibles available in 116 languages, 239 countries where jehovah's witnesses have a presence, etc.. need i go on?.

  on the other hand........... crisis of conscience, freeminds, the awaa, jw.net, ummmmmm........hmmm........idk six screens or something?

  after some considerable thought i have decided that i will no longer post on this forum because i want to return to jehovah.

  thank you for all the kindness and many interesting discussions over the years.

  i wish you all well in the future and the decisions you make.

  Good luck Slim. I hope this is a joke. But if not, I kind of understand - kind of.

  Follow your gut. JWN will always be here to welcome you back. You can have more faith in that than in the big “A” Jehovah is supposed to bring about.

  I hope you find what you need to enjoy your life to the fullest. Good luck.

  The best part of field service was the ride back to the hall. I would loosen my tie while still in the car group. Once or twice the genius brother would, after my tie was undone, say "oh, I have one more call I wanna go on." Dejected, I had to retie it once more if he wanted me to go with him.

  I also was usually the only brother who, when going out to lunch or dinner after meetings, service or assemblies would not wear my suit jacket or tie. (and rarely badge)

  I got “counseled” TM once or twice for leaving my top button unbuttoned when I wore my tie at the meetings and in service. Looking back, I really hated most aspects of the JW experience; especially wearing the "approved" attire.

  Great video!

  What a nut, he'll probably be here one day... IF he wakes up. Most apologists, like I was, eventually can't swallow their own crap any longer. In time…

  What Will Be the Penalty For Using the Old New World Translation?

  by LostGeneration in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so who here wants to run an experiment?

  if you still attend the meetings, are you willing to cling to the "old" new world translation?.

  keep using it in front of all of the rest of the cultists.

  Welcome all newbies! I just got back last night from visiting my JW mom and sister. They know I left the org. Never once did they ask why. In fact they didnt inquire once about why I left. I did however over hear my mom asking my Ministerial Servant brother-in-law about something from the July 15th watchtower. She said many in the hall think it means one thing. I think it had to do when the great tribulation starts? My BIL said no it means this. If a lot of people are confused or misunderstanding the "new light" then I'm sure we are about to see a great influx of "newbies." I bit my tongue, but wanted to say "Don't worry mom, it will change again in a few more years."

  Great effort. Your right! You did make a huge mistake.... you married a JW.

  I'm taking the cross and chain back.

  Why? Explain to him you have your faith and he has his. Between that and not getting you a gift i'd say seriously consider moving on.
