This religion I grew up in is such a joke! I can't believe that old timers in bethel are allowing this to happen and nobody fucking stands up against this charade!!!

The GB is being forced to go more mainstream and show a side that has never been shown before. Image the impact these changes will have, not with the old timers but with the new generation of young JW's just dreaming of being on JW.TV and doing pioneering of ten hours is a breeze standing next to a trolley without talking.

Attention Governing Body: October 2, 2014 is only 940 days away...
by Alfred inin 1823, john aquila brown (a man who is not mentioned in any wt publication) came up with a bizarre mathematical calculation which totalled 2,520 years (in an unauthorized attempt to predict the end of the gentile times).... several religions recycled this bizarre calculation, including the adventists and the bible students... when armageddon didn't come on the variety of early 20th century dates predicted by several "dooms-day" religions of that time (including charles taze russell's bible students who predicted that the big a would start in 1914), they all finally realized that this 2,520-year calculation was nothing more than arbitrary mathematical speculation derived from erratic biblical extrapolation.... except for the bible students who continued to move up the date for armageddon 2 more times (1918, 1925) and then decided to use wwi as the starting point for the "last days".. all the while, one thing that seems to remain intact is the october 2, 1914 date.
oddly, for the watchtower bible & tract publishing cult, this particular date still marks the end of the 2,520-year period (that john aquila brown referred to in his bizarre 1823 book "the even tide")... again, no mention of this in any watchtower publication.
but, for jws, that date still remains the starting point for the period of time often referred to as the "last days" or even "the generation that shall not pass".. because of this, the governing body has been forced to change the definition of "the generation that shall not pass" countless times since the early 1970's.

my first post! (long read sorry in advance)
by Letts Party inlong time lurker, first time poster here finally looking to get some things off my chest.
i've always been a very curious person with tons of questions about everything, and i also care deeply particularly about societal issues like social injustice, racism, and homophobia.
that, coupled with how boneheaded all the elders in my congregation are (except for one), led me to ask even more questions that led me to find ttatt.. .

Welcome! Your story is almost like mine.
I was baptized as a young teenager, and although I was always viewed as a great example in the congregation, my closest friends and I were leading what would be labeled as "double lives" by the borg. Drinking, partying, having "worldly" girlfriends at school. Not to say I didn't feel terribly guilty about this. Every time "double life" was brought up at conventions, I knew that's exactly what I was guilty of, but I never had the courage nor the guts to "confess".
This is just a method they use to control your emotions and make you do what they say. We can all live a normal life and have some fun, after all, all JW's sin
Looking back, I thank god for the internet (yes, I said god… I’m still on the fence about that one)
I think the best advice I can give you is to not be in any hurry to reach any conclusions. Have a look for names like, Christopher Hitchens, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris and Bart Ehrman. The two major popular anti-theist books in recent years were "God is not great" by Hitchens and "The god delusion" by Dawkins.
I read 1984 as a high school kid and even prided myself as a fan of this masterpiece.
Oh the irony...
My only question now is what to do??? My wife is a long time pioneer and heavily emotionally invested in the org.
Love her and plant seeds
On another note… apostates (is that what we call ourselves?
For the people still inside but awake are called, closet apostates or the conscious class.
Welcome andEnjoy the journey. Best wishes

THEY'VE DONE IT!!!! The WBTS set a new date!
by dmouse inthe latest watchtower, dec 15th 2003, is an out and out attack on the rank and file for dropping into a drowsy state spiritually.
ok, so armageddon didn't come before the generation of 1914 grew old and died.
but does that mean that the big a isn't near?

I'm curious about the Publisher Record Card.
by HowTheBibleWasCreated ini was once told that a publisher had the right to examine their own record card.. what would happen if a publisher examined it and threw it out?.

they do send a letter of intro with the BOE's judgement of the one who moved.
Internal ELDER gossip and by the way, they don't let you read or see this letter.
