  Yea the voice is somewhat strange but the information, though he applied it to all religions, really hits home when it comes to the indoctrination one receives as a jw.

I'm sure others here have seen some of his videos. They have to do with different subjects such as losing faith, conformity, grooming minds, etc. I highly recommend this channel.

  I would say 75-85% of adult jws don't know how to carry a conversation at the doors and 95-100% of young people have no idea. So it'll be interesting to see what happens. Most people are barely comfortable placing mags or tracts.

  How long ago was that? That would be pretty surprising if it was recent. Not shocking considering they could be having problems recruiting new COs.

  Did you leave the JW RECENTLY? Really? Recently? WTF were you thinking?

  by The Real Edward Gentry in

  not to be overly harsh...but if you just left, what the hell were you thinking?

  between 1995 and now, you never did an internet search of "jehovahs-witness" or "watchtower"?

  good god.

  I think he's trying to get everyone riled up by throwing out a foolish question such as the last one. Good chance he's not even an ex-jw.

  If WT are cutting back on mags will they also cut back on Bethelites?

  by truthseeker in

  2. friends

  i was thinking after hearing about the agm cutbacks to the mags and other website content surely they will end up dismissing more bethelites?

  i would have thought in the old days, before the web, an artist or writer at bethel would have been a full time job making content for four 32 page mags a month.

  now what are these guys going to do?.

  I should've clarified that there will be way more cutbacks at bethel than the ones that have taken place already.

  I believe bethels around the globe are the next big cutback. With all these cutbacks to publications there won't be a need for so many bethelites distributed in many departments that were tied to the publishing work. I can imagine many long time bethelites are having sleepless nights not knowing what there future holds in bethel.

  It does sound a bit suspicious for us in the West but maybe this is the terminology that is used in Nigeria. It wouldn't surprise any of us if it is authentic because of the regular demanding of money nowadays from the gb.

  the purpose of this thread is to share some history with the community.

  i am an active jw.

  the reason i picked this forum is due to the openness and ease with which information can be accessed.

  Will they drink the Kool Aid?

  by Hecce in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as you know the question regarding the “kool aid” is related to the tragic events at guyana and jim jones.

  blind obedience and faith in this man resulted in a massive loss of lives.. sometimes we see the same pattern of blind obedience to the watchtower from the witnesses.

  this could be on major items or small details.

  Same situation here hecce in the Spanish congregations around. They just imitate everyone else's reactions even though they have no idea what's going on. But if Jehovah wants them there, they will be there. Can you imagine the hell they would pay if they decided to miss the annual meeting since they won't get much out of it?
