The CO was recently in our area and they came several times during that week because we are newly faders but we never answered our door, now we know how others felt when we knocked on their door!

Do we have an update on how many NEWBIES have joined in 2012 ?
by smiddy ini think with every year their are more and more newbies that identify with this site , would you like to say " hi ", if you have joined in the last 12 months ?.
does anybody have a graph of the numbers of newbies who have joined in say the last 5 years ?.
i think that would be interesting.

These are pretty funny! I would love to hear some more from the current posters. Some of them are so laughable and some are just down right ignorant.

1914 - It was the end of the world as we knew it - things got much better!
by TheStumbler ini was having a conversation with a jw relative recently i casually mentioned how much better the world is than a few centuries.
obviously the jw was incredulous.
the next day i found an email in my inbox listing a few qoutes from notable people saying how the world has gotten much worse since 1914 and that 1914 was a pivitol year.

I really enjoyed this thread. I have been out less than a year and I having been filling my head with new information but it was so nice to read sound evidence disputing the world conditions. I hadn't gotten to this part of my research but I knew the info the WTS was giving out had to be wrong. I have been wiping reprograming my whole mind after almost 30 years of this nonscense and all of the lies stuck in our heads. Thank you very much for your research and the time you put into this post.

Was it EX JW literature / WT's or the BIBLE which woke you up? Post scriptures if any....
by EndofMysteries ini considered myself immune to ex jw stuff.
no amount of old watchtowers or anything would change me.
it was seeing treatment of others by elders and the bible itself, which woke me.

I kept saying to myself, you will know my people because of the love among them but I wasn't feeling that love and hadn't for many years. I just felt something was terribly wrong and I was so unhappy. None of my family are JW's and they are such good, honest people who never gossip or hurt others and I thought there is no way Jehovah is going to destroy them when they act better than many of the ones I know. I got on Amazon and started researching books and read a lot of books about the witnesses and I knew my hunch was right! There were so many signs over the years that were right in front of my face but I never did the research until this year and what a year it has been!

Are They Cynically Shutting Down The Organization?
by metatron ini've raised this idea before but recent events seem to support it.
changes in the watchtower may be guided by more than a need for cash flow: they may simply be liquidating/shutting it down as discreetly as possible.. of course, this doesn't mean they stop working on their upstate ny country club - but it could mean that the throrough going exposure and disproof of their beliefs on the internet, when it emerged, took many of them by surprize, as it did many of us!
after awhile, they generally gave up trying to make any sense of their doctrines - and coupled with cash flow issues - moved towards a quiet retreat.. take a look at a few things:.

So utterly hurt.
by LouBelle intoday something happened that hurt me more than the jwks, more than the shunning, more than my sexual molestation, more than my hellish years at caxton and more than the year i've just had.. the moment i was told this, i felt like my insides had been ripped, torn, shredded and my heart squeezed of it's very life.
i put my head in my hands and for the first time in my life let out a primal gut wrenching wail.. my father had asked my gran why she has been treating me the way she has (which hasn't been very nice).
he though it strange considering how in the past i have helped her and given her so much.

When you described your pain I felt so badly for you. I hope you can work through it and it may be that grandma is having problems with her memory. Hang in there.??????

Having small children go door to door without their parents.
by life is to short inok so my husband still goes out in service.
last weekend he worked with an elder who is in his late 50's, another brother who is in his mid 60's, my husband is in his mid 60's and the idiot who conducted the meeting put a eight or nine year old girl with them.. i asked my husband why?
he said he thought it was strange also.

That was totally inappropriate!! They should never put a young girl in a car full of grown men, Someone is not using their head. I could see her in a car with sisters or another family if her family couldn't go out. My husband was an elder for many years and he was very careful to never be alone with a sister and to make sure children were with their families. If I was a youg girl like that I would not have been comfortable in a car full of older men!!
