Pastor Russell in the 1800's spoke of the great tribulation, then Rutherford in 1900's . Now Lett and co in the 2000's , this great tribulation is in the third century of WT prophecy. Most people's great tribulation is when the internet goes down.

Some prayers really annoy me
by stillin ini realize that prayer is a really personal thing, but representing a group in prayer has become so full of cliche's that i just want to vomit sometimes.
co week almost every prayer has the phrase "special week of activity" in it.. then there's "please look after the sick and afflicted.".
not so much anymore, "please bless this food and the hands that prepared it.".

I only have a problem with prayers that start with " dear" and end in " amen".

What did NOT get you out?
by problemaddict 2 ini realize this is odd, but a "how you woke up" thread and the personal stories that are told which i know we all enjoy, made me think of this.
in helping my wife and a couple others get the ball rolling, i realized the thing that resonated with me, didn't even move the needle with them.
i wanted to rail on and on about blood, because that was my conduit to waking up, but for my wife it was about shunning.

You can be my brother Pale , talking to Jws as a general rule is totally futile , there exist friends who stick closer than a brother say the black book.

How did you overcome feelings of lost time in the Org?
by Skepsis ini'm a very positive person who always try to focus on the good side of things.. however, my fading is becoming increasingly painful and i'm starting being shunned by some i thought were friends.
i'm missing some meetings so the rumour is spreading to neighbouring congregations where i'm known that i'm not as spiritual as i used to be.
elders want to have a shepherding meeting with me.

I try and make up for lost time by doing all the Jw forbidden hobbies and sports. Actually just returning to the Catholic kid of my childhood. Just a normal neighbour not interested in WT sales people's on Saturdays. I try not to get to disappointed in my cult course I took. I actually like being an apostate ,I think I found my calling helping ones leave JWs or preventing them joining .

Their digital marketing will bite them in the arse. I honestly believe the new digital format will genuinely wake some up, But most follow the chariot where ever the GB steer their cult affected minds

The GB members of the Watchtower Corporation are cunning decisive crooks
by Finkelstein ini think its now easy see the long standing and continuous operation of the watchtower corporation and its commercialized corruption as a religious publishing house.
the core centralized intent was to increase the circulation and distribution of the wts's own publications.
they exploited the basic belief in the bible as holy spiritual writings and used the end is near proclamation all throughout the 20th century and even back toward the end of the 19th century.. these leaders also devised special engaging public talks at assemblies and local kingdom halls which were also devised to support those specific core doctrines of christ's return and a imposing question of who's worthy of being saved or not at the soon to come day of judgment armageddon.

Of all the humans alive the ones chosen by God himself are brother Lett and his mates , it doesn't bode well for Jah intelligence. The combined IQ of GB would be flat out kindergarten grade.

I got told by an elder I was grieving gods holyspirit, then I said if my wife is in agreement with me is she grieving it to which he replied yes. There you go , Jw clergy class can tell the flow of spirit . It's all a case of boogie man stories.
