  Our family were looking up to DO and CO's. We gave much money handshakes. Later on we were realising the corporate nature of this men. It was all about the organization. Some were not bad at all but became hard en cynical during the years. Some were mad or stupid. Now being pomo we are happy being free from jw.org and it's officials. It's all a waste.

  JWs unrecognisable compared to my grandfathers time

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my grandfather who has been dead for 37 years would not recognise the borganisation today.

  he would turn in his grave if he knew the end didn’t come by 2023.. back in the 1970s he really believed in the 75 thing.

  he was so disappointed and almost blamed everyone else why the end didn’t come.

  My roller coaster ride out of jw.org started with the 1995 generation change. Blood fractions, alternative service, et cetera et cetera. My grandparents told me in 1995 they were not sure anymore about having the truth and died some years later.

  Later on JW Pelechia, Jolene Chu and the german historician Dedlef Garbe opened my eyes and jw-media came to light. The double talk and the many lies about jw hystory made my presence in the kingdom hall came to an end. Never felt better!!

  1974 and all that

  i came across this footage recently whilst searching for something completely unrelated and it blew me away!.

  it's from the august 1974 convention at murrayfield, edinburgh and you can clearly see the stage set up still keeping the 6000 years and 1975 mantra going.. what makes this very personal for me is that i was here.

  My condoleance for you and relatives.

  Jw.org is a mess for family and social relations. False friendships only based on the sects interactions

  So, 60 Years Ago

  by titch in

  2. experiences

  so, folks, 60 years ago, starting on september 1st, i believe, we, local witnesses in southern california, had the "privilege" of attending the "around the world assembly", at, of all places, the rose bowl, in pasadena.

  (i think that it was an 8-day assembly) i was 9 years old then, almost ready to start 4th grade.

  so, was anyone else, on this site, at that assembly?

  It is years ago my wife and I attended a convention. We are POMO and sometimes jw family "encourage" us to visit. But we won't. Do we miss it? No.

  We don't miss the organization. The congregation. The hamster carrousel of jw life. The repeating, indoctrination.

  The false kind of friendship and attention of fellow jw's.

  But beeing a kid it was something special I remember. Some kind of a journey. But later on my feeling was that something was not right with the big crowds and mass applause.
