The plan is quite convoluted and deceiving by design. There's not a lot of space in heaven and paradise. So only the few that can twist their minds in a thousand knots will make it. I feel sorry for you.

by Emily1987 inso, as some of you will know myself and my husband are in the process of fading.
haven't been to a meeting since beginning of 2017. .
we weren't planning on going to the memorial, but last week my mother broke down and said that we have to go to the memorial even if it's the only meeting i go to this year.

From a cold and calculating machine who can put emotions aside,
Do Not Go!!!
Love your mother very much, but do not cave in to her request. She made her choices, now it is your time to make yours.

If you're expecting a mass exodus anytime soon, FORGET ABOUT IT!
by nowwhat? ini have to make a token appearance at the k.h.
once a month or so and this week went to a different hall.
and believe me they are all still totally oblivious to all the negative news about the pedophiles and shunning that have come under scrutiny by the media and other governments.

The "exodus" is three prong
- Die-hard JW's are aging and dying
- Born-ins are not showing interest
- Young and middle age JW's are learning TTAT
May I add a fourth one "future" JW's are very hard to find
Slow and steady decline has been the pattern and will continue for decades.

"But there needs to be evidence of a crime first. "
Enforcing the "two witness" rule is good enough for me. The governing body uses it to hide criminals and cover up their crimes. Never mind that they also leave other children unprotected and victims helpless. Oh I forgot, the broad interpretation of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects religious criminals too. We need the 28th amendment to fix the vagueness of the First Amendment. "The hell with religious privileges", I would call it.

Organization Updates for POMOs?
by charonsdog ini've been physically out since early 2014. before that, i was mentally out for a long period of time.
now, having zero contact with family or former friends, plus living in a southeast asian country where it is possible to not ever see a jw.
since i have discovered this site, i'm learning lots of things about the organization that i wasn't aware of before.

by AverageJoe1 inthe outline number 44 from this year’s regional assembly states:.
la organización de las naciones unidas es en realidad una falsificación del reino mesiánico, y es una ofensa para dios.. .
translation: “the united nations organisation is actually a counterfeit of the messianic kingdom, and it is offensive to god.”.

Glad you are doing well Kid. Since you are stuck with the religion for some time make the best of the experience. Remember the people around you are innocent victims, so don't resent them even when they are harsh with you.
Also, as someone said before, there's wisdom in the Bible. Just keep in mind that it was written by people and for people who lived two thousands or more years ago. My two favorite books are Job and Ecclesiastes. I don't like the New Testament because I feel it contains too much emotional manipulation, but I am sure something good can be gleaned from it. As I said, make the best of what you got. Life can only get better from this point on, much better. Don't dwell to long on the bumps along the road.
