I've personally witnessed too much to not believe in spirits or whatever you want to call them.
You may have witnessed "things" but doesn't prove the paranormal...if you could you would be a millionaire.
i know that a lot of the people on here have turned their backs on the idea of a deity deciding that god does not exist.
but what about the unseen spirit world generally such as poltergeists, jinns, voodoo, etc.
if you have become agnostic, atheist, or just don't care since leaving, do you think that there are spirits out there or have you decided that is also hokum?

I was in 1995...
there are alot of posts about the king of the north announcements.
this is all hocus pokus bull shit.
it's not about king of the north.
Me to still ins..."So what about all these court cases, legal action and lawyers over the last few years that highlight the massive issue of child abuse and a lack of proper policies?"
Them..."Don't know what you are talking about."
Me again to still ins..."Ok so what about the Charity Commissions around the world like the Australian one that hauled in a GB member and quizzed them on their child abuse policies?"
Them..."Come again? What are you talking about?"
Me finally..."What about the fact that KH's are being closed down, branches shut down, congs consolidated, money being asked at meetings, no more District Overseers, mass Special Pioneers made to be self sufficient and magzines going from bi-monthly at 32 pages to 16 pages and 4 a year and the work is speeding up?"
Them..."Yes indeed it is speeding up".
Me..."For f%^&$ sake"...walks off.
JW's are utterly clueless to facts as to what is actually going on and its meaning. They are "Captive to the Concept" that the their religion is true and the GB are directed no matter what the GB say or what they dictate.
sorry guys,.

This is a lesson learned, and rest assured we would never accept such information for a JW Survey article without obtaining confirmation from multiple sources, which is our practice.

Just let Cedars release new light about the situation...overlapping notes on the AM and all that.

Are you saying Cedars has used your info on a video and not double checked his sources?
as a "deep pimo" i can say that there is a confirmed re-branding.
the coordinators committee formed a focus group from service and teaching committees.
the results of that group roughly three+ years ago, with gb approval, trickled down to the other committees and eventually into what we have been seeing before our eyes in the org and local congs.. pick an organizational level and see the shift.
I like your post...but...
I attended the Pioneer school in 1997 and the message was back then "Be a friend and just have a conversation about what is important to them. No literature required just bible or tablet in hand. Feel what they feel. Be a friend" very much as you say.
Nothing really has changed in that aspect.
hi guys, long time without paying a visit to this site.
today i returned to check a 'gossip' that is running around in brazilian exjw forums.. they are stating that is almost certain they will make a big change in their doctrine maybe this year yet in the annual meeting.
they say people in warwick were commenting on this.
I believe the GB 2.0 believes that they do not need to readjust anything because it is "so close".
I don't expect any new major shite light this year.
this letter was posted on the aust and nz facebook group this week.. it is self explanatory!
wow.... it seems to be their attempt at controlling the situation after the arc fallout.. .
That is not a WT letter.
the watchtower is so short of money because they have to pay for all the upkeep of so many branch offices around the world.because so many of the branch offices are in very poor countries and they are not balancing the budgets.
It doesn't matter as to their cash situation...they are not going to disappear in our life time
