  Meeting Days Felt Different?

  2. experiences

  i dont know if it was the same for you, but for me when i was a jw meeting days seemed to have a black cloud hanging over them.

  on thursdays i knew i would be going to the meeting that evening.

  that i would be getting into my meeting clothes at 6:30pm, leaving the house at 6:55pm and be sat in the kingdom hall from 7:15pm-9pm, then milling around for about half an hour before finally getting home for 10pm.

  You are very brave and a great human for making the sacrifice for the sake of others.
  

  Any possibilities of civil litigation? You should be compensated, but the greater benefit is to add to the bad publicity of the Watchtower, and therefore the protection of other victims who are unaware of the PPP (Pedophile Protection Program) of the Watchtower.

  The reason I first reacted very positively to your videos is because you are the young JW's, not 50, 60, 70 year old. You are, in my opinion, more effective than older "apostates" in reaching the younger JW's, and that's the people who need to be rescued. The old JW's may be better off inside the cult, especially those who have never known any other life.

  Thanks for your efforts and determination.

  for an all powerful, all knowing god it seems most of his plans go awry, so why assume that armageddon/ new system will work?

  look at the track record.

  ... adam and eve... went wrong.

  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.

  so, 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!

  i 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.

  it seems that irwin zalkin has obtained undisclosed settlement in the case.

  the $4000 a day fine then seems to be dead.

  the downside?

  "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.
