by steve2 inon another thread, stay alive til 2020, caliber persuasively reasoned that, by 2020, there will have been a significantly even-greater trend of decline in publisher numbers.

Suicide - How many do you know within the JWs
by Lady Lee inthw wts likes to play games with their statistics.
one interesting but truly tragic is the number of jwhovah's witnesses who commit suicie.. now i suspect that if a person commits suicide shortly before or after they are disfellowshipped then the elders would say that person wasn't a witness or that they had done something so terrible that they were too guilty to admit it and by their action of committing suicide they pretty much declared they were no longer a jw.. yup fancy talk to make sure any crap didn't fall on them.. so my question.. do you know of cases like this?
if so then can you answer a few more questions.. had this person been dfed or in real danger of being dfed or whatever the equivalent is if they were never baptized?.

I didn't make it sound quite right. My best friend and I were worried because he hadn't been heard from and at that time his body was hanging in his garage

one for sure. Former bethelite, elder who told me he was bi-sexual. He DAd himself many years ago but his health was failing and he was being shunned by his son and his daughter in law and was not allowed to see his grandchildren. My best friend who had been his first love in the 60's found hanging in his garage soon to be 4 years ago. My heart still clutches when I think of him. He was one of GB rape victims while at Bethel which I have known about for 50 years. And I wonder why I am so ANGRY

We witness girls oof the 60s wore long false lashes and mascarra and eyeliner to look cat like. Oh the good old days. Back in 65 I was tall slim blue eyes and long blond hair. At that time I on one Sunday afternoon wore a short yellow very tight arounf the legs silk dress from the Phillipines. This dress was awsomw abour three inches above my knees, made for a shorter woman. I didn't even get a bad response from the elders they were speeches not even a inviaion to a JC. Sister'Èlders were not impressed. I was going thru my first fade. Looking back my mom was awsome. She actually encouraged me. Oh for the old days. Yes one Servant told my mom I had great legs. Thank you I had forgotten my experience.

We Are Not Living in 1937
by Londo111 inhttp://www.jw.org/en/news/by-region/europe/russia/overturned-court-decision/.
"those perceived to have dissenting views were rounded up and tried at meaningless show trials.".
now that doesn't remind me of anything... .

Are Elders waking up to TTATT?
by Londo111 inthe obvious answer to that is: yes!
jwn has a number of former elders who awakened to ttatt while they held their position, and a handful of current elders who help provide needed intel.. .
later, i learned he and his wife had faded, and both of his grown sons know ttatt as well.. .

Cagefighter, my friend and I had the koolaid discussion 25 years ago and yes we both thought ir is quite probable.. Sad to add she is thinking about going back..She needs her spirituality needs met.. It will not work out the way she hopes they are the same people we left. She is worrying me. She will listen to nothing I say and a 60 year friendship will end. Her decsion not mine

What about the ones who WATCHED THE PATIENT DIE?
by Terry ini was deep into my jehovah's witness life pre 1975 as the drumbeat to that mysterious yet specific date loomed large.. it was presented as a countdown to jehovah's promise of a 1000 year reign.
"how fitting" was the popular phrase!.
but, it was more like a countdown of a different sort.. .

Terry-my Grandpa the first generation JW died in 1947 in field service before I was born, Grandma died in 1964 when I was entering my teens, Mom the second generation JW died in 2006 I was almost 60 we have third generation JWs in their 70s and they are still waiting but I am sure they are also going to die waiting to live forever. This is why I call my self gma-tired. Inhave been waiting and waiting but I no longer believe in Armageddon. BY thenway in 1964 the JWs fought my family over propery when grandma died becuse she had so lovingly allowed the KH to be built on family property. This has been a long hateful learning expereience PS family won
