Donations are down, meeting attendance varies (fair weather christians) if it's cold, too hot or snows.
Theocratic Ministry school is a Reverse-AA of Christianity, each part is used to provide a message to the Kingdom Hall's young and restless children. Watchtower Study's quickie comments provide angry ancients a forum to voice their grievances, (long hair, facial hair, tardy to meetings, I need help, my yard's lawn is long, sister so-and-so had hemorroid surgrey and needs a meal, brother Lou's girls dresses are too short. Skateboarding is evil, blah, blah, blah!"
Nothing has changed, you could walk in and find nothing is new.

Grandma is concerned about my spirituality, worried I don't use lingo like "Faithful Slave", "Annointed Elders", "Waiting on Jehovah, endure the bafflegabbing, prevaricating lying friends"
"You speak too much about love, use Jesus of Nazareth's name too much! You speak the way apostates speak!" Grandma is going out of her mind, she never goes out in field service, she thinks everyone approved by the Congregation is good association!
"I am afraid you are leaving Jehovah, your emphasis on Jesus Christ's love, sounds like former apostates I knew as a young woman! We are told to think of Jehovah at meetings, why do you bring Jesus's name up so much? I am worried you are going to be disfellowshiped!"
School started this week, I don't need crazy old women thinking I am evil because I don't fall lightly over external emphasis of the spiritual human. Grandma thinks if you are a aux, reg-pioneer, MS, elder or above, you are approved by Jehovah!
"I am afraid all you talk about is doing good deeds, the love of Jesus Christ, and Charity." You don't mention field service, meetings or assemblies anymore, are you going apostate?"
What the hell is wrong with her, I know it's brainwashing but I am the only JW who is willing to take care of her. All her kids have disfellowshiped her, so I am stuck taking care of her, being looked down on, while she thinks her kids who don't care if she is eating cat food, are the "holy ones"..

"A Field Guide To Narcissism" Could you spot one at the KH?

everyone has been burned once or twice by a narcissistic nut, so it's good to have a field guide to identify the social, emotional predators before they put their fangs into you!

12/15/12 Watchower Study Edition - Higher Eduction = Thinking in a "complicated" manner
by yourmomma ini found this quote from the 12/15/12 p.29 study edition of the watchtower to be hilarious:.

"High Education" = "Critical Thinking" = "Asking Questions" and "Demanding Evidence (Bereans)". Mindless drones are happy to do without asking why! Why do college graduates scare the "men behind the curtains", they use their skills in New York to further business as usual.
Do you know of any highly educated people once they came in the organization, decided to hand over their Christian Freedom? They are forced to talk like a third grader not to offend their leaders with big words or questions.
" Be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you. [Peter 3:15]

Won't leave, what information are you going to provide that is damning to his judicial body? Can you provide Ray with some insights before he is thrown before the lions?
Ray could use some extra input whether he decides to use your information or not, it would arm our brother even more so. He is going into a rigged meeting, throw some Aces up his sleeve as he play's the biggest game of spiritual poker in his life!

Even after reading Crisis of Conscience, one thing (at least) still puzzled me
by kepler init was several years back and from time to time i will look something up in the index.
all manner of things about jw life are revealed - as well as discussions within the leadership, plus historical and contemporary controversies - but there is still something i missed.. please excuse me if this is not a detailed summary.
when the drum roll starts for the purge, it appears that the friends and associates of ray franz are targeted first.

I need to buy this book, it's time I grow up and face the truth about the truth. COC and "In Search Of Christian Freedom" will be my starting point. Did Ray Franz still believe in Jesus Christ up until his death, and does he find the "Christian Freedom" he was searching for?
If anyone who has read his books can comment on these questions I would greatly appreciate it.
