@ A Believer,
You're not baptized!?
what are you waiting for?
why won't you show your face or use your real name?
are you afraid? what are you afraid of?
my sarcasm will get me df'd one day.
after being disgusted by the bs of the sunday meeting, i chatted with one inactive brother came back for that one meeting.
i can't exactly remember how it came up, but he told me and a sister whose a close friend of mine that she shouldn't be so uptight, we're no longer under the mosaic law.
@ A Believer,
I don't understand you, why do you come here knowing full well your religion does not approve of you being on an apostate website?
..........however, it seems that this practice [theocratic warfare] is seeping more and more into regular witness life.
in fact, one speech outline for the upcoming 2017 circuit assembly appears to directly encourage witnesses to lie to the general public about watchtower’s teachings on homosexuality............. http://jwsurvey.org/mind-control/upcoming-2017-jw-assembly-encourages-witness-youths-to-lie-about-homosexuality.
nb this is a month old.. if it has been previously posted and i missed it, sorry .

"The reality is that thought the society has been homophobic for many years, it is taking steps to rectify the situation"
I wholeheartedly disagree with this statement. They reality is that they recognize that their stance is old fashioned and they're out of touch with reality. They're being heavily criticized by the public for their homophobic stance and they don't like it. They see others religions being more accepting of gays and that the tide has turned, they however are looking more and more outdated and hateful as time passes.
i discovered your website this morning as i was trying to find some information about 'marking'.
you see a very close friend of mine was 'marked' earlier this week and as i know the ins and outs of the situation (as we are close friends) i disregarded the talk immediately as i know my friend is obviously having issues but is no way a 'danger' to anybody else's spiritual health.
basically they are dating a non-believer- hence the talk.
Hi Danni,
welcome, the sad fact is you can be marked for just being on this site. Think about that. Visit jwfacts.com and all your questions will be answered. You sound like a caring friend, your friend is lucky to have you on their side, but the JWs will change you to the core without you realizing it.
in the congregation that i grew up in there were about 30 children under 16 (myself included).
as time went on they one by one slipped away from the meetings and most never got baptized.
of those 30 children only myself and two other girls stayed and got baptized.
@pale.emperor
May I ask, what area this is happening in?
I go to a Spanish Speaking congregation and I also see this happening.
enric hernàndez (@enric_hernandez), director of el periódico (www.periodico.es) has written an editorial this morning.
very interesting !!.
link to editorial in spanish.
Excellent article. Thank you for being brave and exposing them for what they are. Me alegra mucho que se este dando atención a esto en español, necesitamos mas articulos de esta indole para quitar la venda a los hispano hablantes, que son el grupo que mas esta comprando la basura que la WT vende.
we really went at it this weekend.
pretty ugly!
well at least now the air is cleared.
I just finished reading your posts. My heart goes out to you. I hope that you get to enjoy the rest of your life, you deserve it.
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?
I only go out 1 or 2 times a month, 1 hour each time. I've mastered the fake knock or fake door bell ring. I always get stuck with the territory record, so i assign everybody else and stay in the car 'looking for the next street' (spanish cong) I don't assign all the houses on a particular street, I usually just tell the group in the car that the we've covered the territory and that's fine with everyone (inside they're relieved) I also try to go with the older sisters, as they always gotta go to a bathroom :).
As far as magazines go,I never leave them, just tracts. No return visits either.
