  What is the current pulse in the organization with the reductions?

  i have not seen jehovah’s witnesses in my neighborhood for several years now.

  it appears that the cart witnessing has taken over.

  congregations are being consolidated and witnesses are being forced to travel a greater distance than before.the burdens/privileges of elders seem to be ever increasing!.

  SouthCentral this is exactly what makes it so horrible and why it is so entrapping. Even when I was out (for 9 years after dropping out at 15) I felt horrible. I felt like I deserve nothing, like I am different from everyone else, I felt so lonely and anxious. I look back at this good girl now and feel so sorry for her for being told she means nothing. I don't feel like they have the right to do it t anyone. ESPECIALLY that this religion is not the truth. Argh. I feel like everyone should sue them. It basically ruined my childhood. I know that it could have been much worse and so on, but that just feels so unfair.

  P.S. Still in the rage stage if not noticeable

  My dad does not like having the cart so he just stands with the literature in his hand. And it is being frowned upon

  Apostasy: The Movie - Directed by Daniel Kokotajlo

  daniel kokotajlo's new film apostasy has it's world premiere at the toronto international film festival in september 2017. apostasy.

  family and faith come into conflict for two jehovah’s witness sisters in manchester, when one is condemned for fornication and the other pressured to shun her sibling.. this fresh, unadorned first feature from director dan kokotajlo carries an unmistakable note of authenticity from its very first scenes.

  set in a jehovah's witness community in england, the film's strength and power lies in its directness.. apostasy depicts the growing rift in a family — a mother and two daughters — who are rigorously devoted to their religion.

  Hello!

  The place was full when I went. Everyone wants to see it. I wish there was more things like that earlier on. But I guess it would have been hidden from me anyway so... Glad that it's starting being talked about

  The publishing goes on as it always did. But the pioneers get their carts so they can do extra hours. At least in my congregation it was like this. Having a cart is an extra privilege

  I went to see it some 2 weeks ago... The director and actresses were there for a Q&A session. The theater was full and a lot of ex-JWs raised hands when asked about their status. It was very emotional for me and people around me.

  The film was fantastic. Made me laugh so many times it was so accurate.

  But also going there made me feel super guilty... As if I was doing something bad, you know the feeling. It was out of this world, very rare
