  It's not in my area, but no new hall so far - it would be on the news. I research them nearly daily for witness-stuff.

  But here is an enorm reducing to see. You don't see it in the numbers from the bOrg. They merge 2 congs to one but nearly the same amount of language-groups built.

  Need Suggestions/examples: Guide to helping family & friends break free

  by LisaRose in

  i was going through my copy of steve hassan's combating cult mind control and it occurred to me that it would be great to have something like this specifically for us ex jehovah's witnesses.

  while this is a great book, the examples he uses are mostly from people that were moonies, as steve is a former moonie and many people that have contacted him for help were relatives of moonies.

  while cults all work basically the same, it would be nice to be have some ideas on things that are specific to jehovah's witnesses.

  I think #1 Trust is a main point. If somebody know, you're a safe contact and he can discuss safe with you, you hear where he is doubting. Then you able to give input. This works for me, I'm active at this time - can't fade - and make 2 friends from lazy dub to apostate dub.

  Some thoughts:
  The price sounds interesting. We have the time of the brexit (it hurts my heart - but skip this), so skip a little bit back. If you change the date a little bit, you be nearly around 440.000,00 USD. It don't make a difference, but this could be a sign that the headquarter more then involved in the sales and all the sales planed there.

  well, thats it folks.. my identity on here has been rumbled and reported to the elders.

  someone, somehow, has figured out that im a member of this site and - rather than speak to me - has promptly reported me to the elders.

  i just feel sad for my daughter.

  Turn it against them! Deny it. Then tell them, you afraid that they believe brothers they read an apostate website. Tell them, you hope they pray for the brother who leave the truth and don't follow the rules.

  by crazy_flickering_light in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  a swiss exit-group i'm connected to, try to raise awareness of child-abuse in eu and look for sources from east-europe including poland.

  they like to create a pdf or print about this.

  what they looking for: articles from newspapers, court-cases or known cases with witnesses (something like exit-groups say, it's happens or so, not the wtg-witness-style).

  for those of you who are still in because of family circumstances, what do you do about field service?

  do you still go regularly, sporadically or not at all?.

  if you do still go, how do you manage?

  Fake the most time, when I had to go, I only ask, if they think the bible is interesting or useable today. Most people agree with me and say: "No!"

  New facts from germany

  by crazy_flickering_light in

  2. beliefs

  maybe some of you interested in this:.

  between 11/2015 and 05/2016 they merged in germany 48 congs into 24 congs.

  in this time they build 16 language-groups and 3 sign-language-groups.

  bohm:

  Using the same building is one thing. They reduce the numbers of congs. This is a sign for a decrease.

  The difference between language/sing-language-congs and normal cong: less publisher, they very easy going (eat after the cong...) and much more. So they reduce congs they started years before with 80-120 publishers and make new (language)congs with maybe 30-50 persons, runned by 10-20 publisher they also attend the german congs from time to time.
