my name is jacobi, i am a born-in but mentally out for more or less a decade at this point (although it was cradual) and about 40yo.
i don't want to say a lot about my family, but it is a mix of going-through-the-motions, semi-actives (but mentally in), some who have left for a few reasons and one really depressed pioneer.
because people fade in and out i have managed to slide under the radar and i keep up apperances of not being all-out apostate but i completed my fade about years ago (it also helped i moved to another part of the country).. i might rub some of you the wrong way because of my views on different things like politics.. i am not a trump supporter at all and neither are most people in my country.
Welcome Jacobi. Looking forward to reading your comments. Yes there are all sorts of people here with different opinions. As they say opinions are like a**holes. Everyone has one. As far as political persuasion, it does not matter. Keep to topics that interest you.
Enjoy.
the author of the book that watchtower is sueing is now on reddit to take questions about anything that you may want to know.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/7vusi1/i_am_the_author_of_goodbye_jehova_the_book_jworg/?utm_source=reddit-android.
The author of the book responds to the above question.
At this point we can only guess, but there are several factors possibly at play:
1) JW are an official church in Germany now and they may be flexing their muscles. Also, they announced to go after negative coverage last year and they're probably trying it out now.
2) The European Union is investigating JW's use of personal data in field service and in general. There were headlines about that the other day. My book touches on this subject a lot, so there may be a connection.
But at this point we can only guess. The book has five pages and they are only going against 7 passages for now, and mainly have issues with the phrasing of the passages (less the underlying facts). So they may think they have a chance at intimidating us, but no way jose.

i know that some here detested him while others may have simply accepted the reality of who is president.. do you think he is better than you might have thought as a president?.
@Bungi Bill. Meet you down the pub for a few coldies. Won't talk about religion or politics.

There are 2 things guaranteed to start a bar room brawl. Religion and politics. We can all agree that religion is what got us here and that Watchtower is toxic. As regards politics, I don't know why people continue to start posts that in no way can be settled. It's like if I came around to your house and tried to shove religion down your throat. You wouldn't like it and would either go on the defense or tell me to piss off. Has anyone here been converted to another person's political ideology because of something posted here? I believe not.
Point after point is pounded back and forth. To me this is the definition of futility.

@VW.org - so what if Trump supporters are dumb?
The vote of a person of an IQ of 80 is worth the same as a vote of a person with a 160 IQ, right?
I went fishing today and I got a bite.

This YouTube video shows the intelligence of some Trump supporters. Pro Trump supporters don't be reticent to watch.
local newspaper in finland has published an article concerning wtbs:s "pillowgate@ videos.
the local "communications manager" of jehovah's witnesses - veikko leinonen - has declined to comment them.
according to him they are for internal use only.
Watchtower always lie to the public in response to any allegations. They call it theocratic warfare. Not any thought is given to the fact that a lie is a lie and the bible clearly states that lieing is a sin. And also to give Ceaser's things to Ceaser in regards to telling the truth to authority.

Out of context. How? I saw the whole thing. I saw the context.
Watchtower always deny when something controversial becomes public. Even when child sex abuse allegations are brought to light, they say that they abhor child sex abuse and always report it to the authorities.
