Suffering with grief? Depression? Illness? Old age? Unemployment? Abuse at home? Family problems?
The WT has a single solution to every problem: Do More!
And if you aren't suffering at all then you should also Do More!

20The WT and it's views on depression.
by quellycatface inas a few of you may remember, i suffer from bipolar.. when working at the uk home office, i was signed off by my doctor with depression and anxiety.. in the space of 11 months i was assessed by 2 home office doctors, both diagnosing me as unfit for work.
i eventually left.. how therefore, can stupid little people in the kh say you'll be better doing fs, ministry school and being regular at meetings??.
they have to be the most un-empathetic bunch of people on the planet.

The personal injury payout limits are derisory.
It's something like £2000 if you lose an arm or leg.
If it happened to me I'd have to sue to get the rest of the compensation I was due - It might mean I could never work again so I'd need enuogh to live on for the rest of my life.

never a jw The problem is that it all sounds like opinion without supporting evidence.
What's to disbelieve?
One of the wackiest statements made in that post was about Elijah and Elisha foreshadowing Rutherford and Knorr.
But you don't need to search far to see that it's a teaching of the WT:*** yb73 pp. 60-61 Brazil *** BEGINNING OF THE ELISHA PERIOD
"Just as the work of Elijah the prophet came to its close and was succeeded by the zealous activity of Elisha his successor, so also, following a period of witnessing comparable to that of Elijah, a new push seemed to be given to the activities of the brothers here in Brazil. Though the death of Brother Rutherford, the second president of the Society, came as a shock to the brothers, their heavy hearts were lightened when they learned that Nathan H. Knorr had been appointed as the new president of the Society."Or maybe you disagree with his comments on being mature / immature?
Again, going to a kingdom hall will provide you with the evidence for this also.Splash

Nauseating JW.org section for small children - CUTOUTS? Really?
by BluePill2 ini am not hot linking to jw borg, but they have a whole section for obviously very small children (become j's friend, with a whole array of caleb-related stuff).
i have actually never visited the site, today was the first time, because i wanted to check a technical information about their websites architecture and came across this sh*t!.
the way they are targeting small kids is nauseating me (i have a 5 year old, still in with her mother).

WTBT$ will no longer support Elder's legally....
by Newly Enlightened inwe received an email and are wondering if anyone can verify this little tidbit of news.
does anyone know if this is true or not?.
maybe any elder's on here?.

LongHairGal This will surely check the hand of aggressive, zealot elders.
It will, but only after there's a high profile case of an elder being prosecuted.
Until then they will still believe they are the untouchables.Splash.

Need to find those Km or Wt articles encouraging all to read the old publications!
by stuckinarut2 ini have been dropping comments to a few re some classic old beliefs and teachings etc... and when asked "where did you read that, or how come you are saying such and such?
" i have replied "well, you remember we have often been told to study and research our old 'theocratic history' and 'old gems' of material?....
now though i have been challenged to prove where this has been printed!.

Another line of reasoning is that the WT itself often refers us back to older publications:
*** w2011 2/15 p. 31 Do You Hate Lawlessness? ***
For a detailed discussion of this subject, see the September 15, 1981, issue of The Watchtower, pages 26-31*** w07 6/1 p. 14 From Scroll to Codex—How the Bible Became a Book ***
See the article “The Early Christian Codex,” in the August 15, 1962, issue of The Watchtower, pages 501-5.*** w07 9/1 p. 10 With Jehovah’s Help, We Survived Totalitarian Regimes ***
See the life story of Elsa Abt in The Watchtower, April 15, 1980, pages 12-15.*** w03 10/1 p. 19 Endurance Under Trials Brings Praise to Jehovah ***
see the 1974 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses, pages 208-9You might also ask "at what point should I no longer believe the publications? - At what age do they become unmentionable?"
Depending on how they answer you can add "So when will today's WT instructions become old light that we are to dismiss?"Splash

Watchtower , February 15, 2013, p. 12, para, 18:
"We benefit from balanced consideration of the history of Jehovah’s organization... Moreover, we do well to examine our history, learn from it, and plan for the future."*** w12 1/15 p. 32 Preserving Gems From Our Past ***
In Writing Archives, diligent work is now under way to preserve and document our rich and growing legacy. Photographs carefully held in the Archives could be considered part of our “family album.” Our early publications, thrilling first-person accounts, and priceless memorabilia are also among the gems held in the Archives.Splash

What Watchtower Belief/View Never Sat Right With You?
by minimus inbut their views on blood are just plain weird!
meat has blood in it even if it's bled.
still eating meat means consuming blood.

As a youngster I could never understand how Babyon the Great fell in 1919.
*** re chap. 30 p. 206 par. 3 “Babylon the Great Has Fallen!” ***
"So the restoration of spiritual Israel in 1919 to a radiant spiritual prosperity, which continues and expands to this day, stands as evidence that Babylon the Great fell in that year. No longer does she have power of restraint over God’s people. Moreover, she has come into deep trouble within her own ranks. Since 1919 her corruption, dishonesty, and immorality have been widely exposed."For a start, BTG is more than just Christendom, and second, it is growing in size.
If expansion is an indicator of God's blessing, then BTG is being blessed.
And corruption? Dishonesty? Immorality? WT, where's your mirror?It never sat comfortable with me - I knew it was a fabrication. The disbelief of that played on my mind and never left me.
