Things like this always made me question how could god allow men to find the solution? Something does not add up...

I have made my decision
by Brother Mike ini'm sure most of you have read bits and pieces of my story throughout the last year being on this site.
i've decided as a human being, and as an adult, i'm going to make the decision on whether to stay with the jw religion or leave it.
i of course have many doubts about the organization which has lead me to do research.

Brethren
by manda63 ingot approached by a brethren the other day who started to engage me in conversation about christianity i thought at first that he was a gb witness but turned out not when i explained to him that i thought he was one he said no no not one of those that lie and decieve he represented a true religion that only those that follow will get ever lasting life etc they apparently stick to first century teachings and when i said followers of the governing body also claim this so he explained how they differ;.
brethren - 1/ clergy dont lie about not having paid clergy as they actually dont have paid clergy the only exception being missionary`s who are sponsored.
2/ neck ties-not worn as they are pagan.

The Watchtower is under siege from inside and outside
by suavojr inthat is the reason the watchtower leaders are desperately trying to protect their indoctrinated supporters from being influenced by the critics.. it will get harder and harder to recruit in countries where the internet is easily accessible...the watchtower has no control over the public like it does the indoctrinated jws.
..any interested person can very easily google and learn the truth about the watchtower cult before a 'return visit' can be made.
although most jws would be afraid to go into 'apostate ' sites, more and more are waking up to the truth about the watchtower , their interest triggered by different reasons such as the child abuse cover up, the constantly changing doctrines,the downsizing etc.

There's a generational transformation going on as well. The younger ones are technology and information hungry and very comfortable researching everything. As time goes on and the older ones shuffle off their mortal coil, there will be fewer young ones filling the numbers.
Very well said, they are having problems recruiting new quality people and the younger ones are not afraid of technology and are hungry for knowledge.
In my congo we have JW's with professional careers such as:
- VP's in the banking industry
- Regional Managers in manufacturing
- Managers in the technology industry
- Nurses
- Supervisors in many different industries
All these JW's make healthy contributions, just to mention a few examples, just from 10 JW's we get almost $1,500 each month and we have 150 publishers. (I know this because I am the account servant) But all this money comes from smart people who are die hard JW's but have a career, how will the WT survive with poor quality people that can’t move things forward financially?
The young ones are dropping like flies in my area and the adults brothers are not reaching out. The WT has a big problem in their hands and the leaders know it.

I hope we can one day say:
Say no to drugs and gods

What is definition of a true friend, once outside the cult?
by suavojr inafter leaving the cult of jw's or waking up to ttatt, it is a struggle to trust people again.
i am personally starting from scratch although i am still in.
each moment i spend with my current jw friends, i know they are all smiles and loving towards me because of my good status with the wt.. outside a cult you still find fake people and it is also a struggle to find true friends and it is even worst when we've been hit hard from people we used to trust and care for.. .

I would say that making a million friends is nothing special. What is special is to make a friend who will stand by you when millions are against you. But how to find it???

How do you define a true friend?
