Since I can't get a $5 return by investing my $5 for 15 years, this is a good bet. I will gladly take your $5 in 15 years. Please PM me how I can reach you at that time.

Many thought the same thing like 15 years ago when the WT was exposed as being a NGO in the UN. Didn't happen.
I will take your bet that the numbers will decline to 50% in 15 years. How much $$ are you willing to to put up.

John: The only problem with this group that I went to is that they will all be gone in the next 20 years.
As far as the WT is concerned, if they have stopped giving $, they are already gone.

When I quit the WT & divorced my boys were about the same age and not yet baptized. I had a sit down with them and talked to them about waiting as long as possible and used Jesus as an example, he was 30, yet the bible shows he was very spiritual lad at age 12 when he was left behind at the temple. He was the perfect son of god, why did he wait? Answer: to get more training.
I let them know that what ever they decide, I would support them. Have a heart to heart talk with your son, make him realize that if he ever changes his mind in the future, it could cause his mother to never speak to him again, so he best be sure he really wants to make that big of a decision this young in his life.
All the best.

Need advice
by Darkknight757 inhi.i've been pouring over this site for the past few days looking for some advice and i hope there is someone here that can help a guy out.
i'm desperate.....short bio: i came into the organization after high school and shortly after married a wonderful girl who was born-in.we have been happily married now for nearly 20 years and things were well until 2015 hit.
by the way, i currently serve as an elder and have the ""privilege"" of being the "watchtower overseer".. either here nor there, we were told we would never have children but late last year my wife became prego!!

Hi DK,
The only advice that I would offer is to take your exit slow. During the grieving process, springing this on your wife now might be to much for her to handle. Maybe look into some family counseling outside of the org.
Very sorry for your loss!

Mobile Hotspot - JWFACTS.COM - Assembly & Conventions
by thedepressedsoul inhere is an idea i tested.

You may be underestimating the open mindedness of young witnesses. There are many young witnesses who have double lives and actually hate being a witness. I could see some not having a problem reading this stuff except for the chance of getting caught by the parental unit.
You could be giving them the leg up to leave sooner than they may otherwise would have anyway.

Why do people kill each other?
by The Rebel inwhy do there have to be wars?
why is there so much hatred?.
the collective answer i came up with is natalisam, or maybe the correct word should be politics?

We are a tribal species, it's in our DNA. Not going to change anytime soon. We require laws to keep us in line and not exploit others.
I suspect that if there is intelligent life on another planet that acts for the good of all, they would be way more advanced then us war mongers on earth.

Hilarious Whatsapp message received - FIRST day after Big D
by cognitivedizzy ina hilarious stupid wa message is being circulated amongst jws in my area / country.. i had a hearty laugh at the ignorance and stupidity and brainwashed mentality, different people may express different emotions so you have been warned.
day one after armageddon it seems ages since we last heard the gunshots and screams, today has been really quiet.
the last few weeks have been sheer terror.

- Day 5. The nuclear power plant went into meltdown because all the worldly people who ran it were killed by Jehovah. The flesh on our body is burning off from the radiation. The brothers and sisters are walking around like zombies looking for someone who can help! We are looking to the elders for guidance but all they say is to "pray and read your bible more". Jehovah why have you forsaken us?

GTTM: i will not fight for someone who is not willing to fight for me. why?
life is to short....many on here know this.
there are 2 things i want right now in my life.
1. to be happy
2. to be cult free
GTTM
I felt exactly the same way that you do now in 2001, when my wife acted out much the same way. She started throwing around the leaving and divorce threats and I told her she best not say that anymore unless she really means it because the next time she does, i'm leaving. Why? Because just like you, I came to the realization that life is to short to remain in this type of relationship and never be happy. While we did divorce, it was all worth it in the end because today I am cult free and happy. Hope it all works out for the best.
