  for the last month or so i have been watching all of stuart’s xjdub videos on youtube.. thanks to local congo’s of jws he has now been arrested and apparently mistreated and had actually quite weird restrictions placed on him to keep him away from carts, khs etc., by a court in vancouver.. he was out it would seem the next day carrying on his “ministry”.

  and successfully too.. i know his activities could be considered a little extreme at times, but i have felt encouraged by him and i wondered if anyone has any information on the whole situation..

  Forgive the dark humor, but that proves conclusively that he isn't a pedophile... They'd let him run free.

  He claimed that even campaigning to decide the painting of a Kingdom Hall would 'make Satan very happy' and Jehovah 'sad.' Bizarre.

  This thread has gotten out of hand. Everybody needs to calm down and extend each other some common courtesy.

  I was never a Jehovah's Witness, but I want to chime in.

  There's no need for this infighting, it accomplishes nothing and only breaks down the solidarity ex-Witnesses enjoy here, endangering the community this site offers exiting and doubting Witnesses.

  On the one hand, I find it hard to believe that this protest will backfire by strengthening the faith of Jehovah's Witnesses. It will most likely have a negligible effect on most, who don't need a protest to feel persecuted: the convention program features several videos which highlight such 'persecution in Russia and Malawi, for instance.

  On the other hand, I understand posters' concerns that the protesters themselves may still be allowing their old faith to influence them and that these efforts keep them from healing. This is something the protesters certainly should consider, but a single protest, in and of itself, proves nothing. Everyone is different.

  figures from that latest 2-weekend convention in caridff (wales) reveal jw “growth” now in decline.

  baptisms are discouragingly low (21, combined), and circuit overseers have been primed to deal with assemblies where there are no baptisms; see these leaked 2018 instructions:.

  In the article the author writes:

  "This is more hopeful than it sounds. Rather than an Armageddon of death and fire, Witnesses say they believe the current, corrupt world will be replaced by a living heaven on earth, not a paradise obtainable only after death."

  But Jehovah's Witnesses teach that Armageddon will be exactly that, death and fire for non-Witneses...

  I just want to start by saying you didn't do anything wrong, and you have nothing to feel ashamed of. Don't let these people judge you for doing something normal and healthy with your boyfriend.

  That being said, there's nothing worse than being forced against your will to participate in a faith you find harsh and judgmental. Leave as soon as you can. Keep saving money and move in with your boyfriend when you're ready. And I would encourage you not to let the congregation or your parents know of these plans.

  The future of young Witnesses

  by john.prestor in

  there's a convention being held near my hometown, and as i was passing by i saw a father taking his young children for a walk outside.

  and i wondered what would happen to those children, what they would experience at school and in their adult life.

  i wondered if they would grow up repressed and anxious and fearful and full of guilt like i did, although i was not raised a witness.

  That's true, and I appreciate that reminder. Around 2/3rds of young Witnesses leave by young adulthood. I just know that early experiences shape you, that's something I'm still trying to come to terms with years later, and I wish they wouldn't (most likely) have to work through that baggage. It's depressing.
