I had to get out of Watchtower, the stupid rules and control over your one's life was just ridiculous. Then, the imaginary god that suppose to solve all your life issues if you serve his Organization that is self serving and is corrupt. Can't wait on something that does not exist. Yet there is alot of people still fooled.

73 years old, a Witness for 48 years, an elder for 24 years, Baptized just before 1975. WOKE UP!
by pistolpete ini thought i would post an encouraging experience i found today.
i've been seeing a lot of 70-80 year old jws waking up, and their children are posting their experience on reddit.
these are old elders, pioneers, circuit overseers who have given their everything and finally at the end of their life, are walking away.. maybe the key to waking up is that a person has to have a deep sense of right and wrong.

The Security of Following Rules
by minimus ini think many people feel secure with an abundance of rules.
they enjoy being told what to do, how to think.
it makes them feel safe.

Watchtower imposes too many rules on it's followers that makes it hard for self expression and self improvement. Only by their standards that benefit the Org. Not the follower.

What useful piece of literature have the JW produced?
by HowTheBibleWasCreated inseeing on another post here about former jws throwing away literature.
i am curious as to the various opinions on there value.. for me i have been inactive for 3 years almost 4. i still have alot of books and of course all their bibles ever produced (except a few from the 1800s.).
in my opinion i think there are four books the jws produced that are useful:.

Was 2019 the last convention ever?
by joey jojo inin a recent feel-good instagram post about the 2019 international convention, a jw remarked, "was it the last convention we will have?".
there is no doubt jw's feel they are truly special and that world events revolve around them directly.
there is also no doubt that whether we get a vaccine for covid or not, and at the moment, its looking very certain that we will, that the world will continue to spin and life will go on, regardless of the beliefs of the jw's.. once the pandemic is over i'm wondering if some jw's will realise that even though they lived through a notable period of time, life kept sailing on, and maybe they aren't that special after all?

The best ever for me was 20 years ago. Never been to one after that. Don't remember much of anything of it.

Btlc- seems like that's common working for "brothers". They run their companies like Watchtower. If your not a pioneer or elder's son you are treated poorly. I never work or hire brothers because of this.

You're on the right track. You seem to have some sort of plan. I would get mental help because this cult really puts a strain on the brain. By talking to a neutral party they can help you even more with your confidence, your goals. They may have resources. You will have confusion, but things will come clear the more you look into this. Just remember you have been enlightened, some will never see what you learned. Live your life is the greatest thing you can do. You're no longer stuck in a self serving cult.

When will the JW Org count for nothing on the World Scene ?
by Phizzy ini was wondering if any of you experts on statistics and trends etc could answer the question above ?.
if you know how to do it, if you can extrapolate a true figure for the falling membership in areas that are internet connected, then we can say " by the year **** they will be so small in the internet regions that they will be on the brink".. i have put this topic in " scandals and cover ups" because it seems to me they are trying to hide how many are leaving, and how few are joining in the areas mentioned.
the non internet places will not contribute much in the way of $$$, so however the figures change for them, up, or down, makes little difference.

Watchtower serves no purpose for society except for it self. People are starting to see thru their crap. Watchtower means nothing to the world except a good laugh about it's stupidity.
