'they turn the story around to make it seem like you are at fault, deflecting attention and blame away from them to make you feel guilty.
this type of emotional manipulation is called gaslighting.. .
deflection is manipulation, and if it's coupled with other toxic relationship behaviors, it may be necessary to remove yourself from the situation.'.

from what i can see no such thing is happening.i became a jw in 1960 and remained for about 30 years and the numbers of active jw`s today in the world are far greater than they were back then.. and here in australia the numbers are much higher than they were back then .. so i don`t see that their in decline or have any worries about losing support .. don`t the numbers speak for themselves ?.
is it just wishful thinking on your part ?.
Comes down to one word.
urgency - (the fear factor) used 1 time in 2021. The peak was 43 times in 1969 ( when we had a lock on the Armageddon timetable).
Disappointed for the year 1914, when the end was due, no mention of that word.

"brother mcmillan wrote "faith on the march" about his wonderful life at bethel.
he wrote of an incident in 1943 where a group of witnesses in jail for refusing military service were against getting vaccinated and he came to the rescue visiting them and telling them it was ok. the reason for this was "the golden age" magazine in the 1920's describes vaccines as puss filled poison...so they were following their watchtower training..
SADS emerged from a related condition, SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome), which many likewise associated with vaccination. For example, there have been countless cases of a parent taking their child in for a routine vaccination, being told the infant is completely well, and then their child dying suddenly for no explicable reason later that night.
What is horrific about the SIDS issue is that its strong association with its most likely culprit, the DPT vaccine, has existed since at least the 1930s, and over and over again, evidence has emerged linking the vaccine to SIDS, which our authorities have done everything they can to conceal. For example, (former) parents of children with SIDS worked diligently with members of Congress to address the issue. Once a seminal book that effectively exposed the federal government’s concealment of the problem was published in 1985, it provided the political will to shortly after pass the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act — something that at least was originally intended to protect these families.
Since SIDS is so common, it’s impossible to avoid conducting research that sheds light on what is occurring. As the years have gone by, in addition to a large body of evidence showing increasing childhood vaccination doses are associated with SIDS, the most likely mechanism has also been established — vaccination can disable the automatic reflex to breathe. Unless the child is coincidentally being monitored in a hospital when this happens (and resuscitative measures can be initiated), the resulting respiratory arrest is fatal.
Over the years, numerous propaganda attempts have been conducted to gaslight the public into ignoring the cause of SIDS. For example, the results of the Back to Sleep Campaign (credited with ending SIDS) do not stand up to basic scrutiny. These absurd propaganda campaigns likewise copy much of the same playbook we’ve seen to cover every other act of gross malfeasance inflicted upon America (e.g., the entire pandemic response).
Similarly, despite significant evidence suggesting SIDS is due to vaccination, there has been a longstanding prohibition on conducting clinical trials which could ever test if there is or is not an association between the two. Given how easy these trials would be to run, I can only assume that their prohibition is a tacit admission they would, in fact, prove vaccination causes SIDS.
One unexpected benefit of the COVID-19 lockdowns was that they provided a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bypass this embargo — many predicted the decline in “nonessential” childhood vaccination visits would result in a massive reduction in infant deaths, and that was exactly what happened. Furthermore, this was also corroborated by a large decline in infant deaths in Florida following increased refusal by parents to vaccinate their children due to the political climate COVID-19 created.
I believe understanding the story of SIDS is very important, not only for the sake of the children (and parents) affected by it but also because understanding the century of misconduct paints a much clearer picture of the gross malfeasance we’ve seen committed throughout the COVID-19 vaccination campaigns.
Additionally, I believe that some of the primary mechanisms involved in both SIDS and SADS (along with childhood vaccine injuries and COVID-19 vaccine injuries) are identical — the only difference being that those caused by the COVID-19 vaccines are much more severe. For example, I’ve seen neurological signs of previous microstrokes develop following COVID-19 vaccination I only previously saw in vaccine-injured children. For this reason, I have been doing all I can to bring attention to how this happens as I believe (and have repeatedly seen) that understanding this disease process is vital for treating the injuries caused by the COVID-19 vaccines.
Because of the scope of the SIDS catastrophe and how little of it is known, I felt a responsibility to do my best to concisely present all the evidence demonstrating that vaccination causes SIDS and substantiate the claims within this (recently revised) article:

sunday, may 28, 2006, is the fourth anniversary from when a threshold was crossed into uncharted waters.
on may 28, 2002, the u.s. television news program, dateline, publicized to millions of viewers the facts about watchtower's deceitful child abuse policies which protect pedophiles who target and molest jws' vulnerable children.
subsequently, this subject caught the interest of media throughout the world who, through careful investigation, substantiated the allegations made on dateline.
The only one I could find.

'This is from the talk that I recorded from last summer's convention:
06:58
Sad to say, these very, extremely wicked opposers of Jehovah, and of truth, have succeeded in affecting the spiritual balance of quite a few of our brothers and sisters, who have listened to their poisonous propaganda. In fact, in one congregation in a local circuit, eight publishers were very shaken just a few months ago, because of watching an apostate-promoted TV documentary. And this was in spite of the fact that, that very week, the elders had set aside ten minutes of the service meeting, a couple of days before the documentary was aired, to warn the brothers that it was going to be on, and they used material from the Faithful and Discreet Slave to help them to see why it would be dangerous to watch it. And in spite of that, eight publishers were very shaken because they did watch it.'

They can cover and deny but it doesn't change the (forced) lack of natural affection
The fact they have taken them down demonstrates that at some level, they know how unnatural, unloving and cultish these iron rules are.
Who knew nothing of natural affection.

Handwriting is on the wall.
i recall reading here that a wife was raped at watchtower farms some years ago (can't find it here anymore) by a another bethelite wearing a red flannel shirt.
they found his shirt and booted him.. 'hundreds of new york women are about to sue alleged rapists (and enablers) under a revolutionary new law.
watch out, donald trump.. .
'so i was disfellowshipped on may 19, 2002.'.
