If it's not so sad, it'll be something like a joke. The old brothers buy Ipads and can't handle it. In my cong a brother sometimes starts a song or a video in the meeting. Mostly he don't find the song we sing. He want no help, because he don't like to look stupid. So crazy. -

Some ask why tech savvy. All communication, BOE-letters and much more been send via the jw.bOrg-mailbox. There different usergroups which be set up by the COBE has different rights to read, mail... So if you not tech savvy you be a risk in the structure.

Making friends in the "truth"
by Jordandemm inwhat is it about making friends in the organisation am i the only one who had found it tough?
don't get me wrong there was some good people but unfortunately there was also a lot of egotism, back stabbing, jealousy and gossiping.
i could never really fit in any group, everytime i thought i had found a group it was as if i would be sidelined or ditched.

I think, there's a structure:
1) Nuts
2) Low Level Believers (think it's the truth but don't study anything)
3) Believers (think it's the truth and study only jw-books)
4) Hardcore-JWs (don't think and study hard)
And here is the problem with the teaching:
1) You avoid them, because they nuts.
2) You look for them too dub-style.
3) You look too much like 2) or 4)
4) You only access this area if you be a pioneer or so.
At the end, it's all based on fear. If you low-level you be connected, if you a hi one also. Everything in between mostly screwed.

Hello everybody!
by roberto avon inhello everybody,i've been lurking for a while and since i really adore reading the biggest part of the posts, especially this italian ( american) guy about his experiences at bethel in the 70's, i feel a little bit guilty for not participating with my contribute.
i am really so sorry for the people that are suffering because of the wts.my story is a " happy ending " story, i married a jw almost 30 years ago and i am here to tell that we are still very happy.
she is very liberal and our 3 kids are " normal ".

Almost three months since Crisis of Conscience Cease and Desist
by ILoveTTATT2 ini am very interested in getting crisis of conscience being fully available as soon as possible.
march 12th will mark exactly three months since the cease-and-desist letter was written.. i understand that things are slow and that deborah may be sick, but i was just wondering if anyone knew the status.
i have been asked twice already where the book can be obtained in spanish and i have told people that the book is not available.. there are ways to make ebooks extremely hard to share.

@TTATT
I read you look also for good books they could help. A book which Ray also used in CoC is "The gentile times reconsidered" from C.O. Jonsson. A book which is only about historical reasons why 607 b.c. can't be correct. Worth to read.

"Remain loyal to Jehova!" - I think what they mean is: "Don't run away from JW.ORG!" -

our secret dating got caught...
by trueloveneverfails94 inwe both are 21 years old.
we both are 21 years old.
i am almost done with my study and working on to become one of an unbaptized publisher.

She can and should use the argument that you meet in puplic, so she can argue that both of you play after the rules for dating, exept you unbaptized. If there any trouble, but mostly ask after a cong is typical JW-smalltalk. Keep calm.
And as the others told you: do your research about the teachings. Read "Crisis of considence". Don't do the dip. I caught inside, so belive me, if you trust the bible it don't mean you have to buy the JW-cult.
