i certainly have heard a lot of idiotic stuff during my tenure as a witness - but this one is priceless:.
a neophyte was complaining about the heat, humidity, physical effort, etc., involved in attending the district convention at veteran's stadium in philadelphia - and she was right.
it was miserable.
logic&reason,
That is funny!
Where has this guy been?! Humans have known the earth is a sphere for centuries already. That came from nitty gritty scientific reasoning, not from some jehovah.
"Where do they get these clowns from"?
Answer = the circus.

While visiting my mother's congregation in South Carolina at a service meeting,in 1998, the PO was giving a talk. He started off with these words: "There was a girl whose cherry was popped" ...
I could not believe I had heard that! When I returned to NY I immediately wrote a letter to the society with full details of the PO's name, that he had said this during a talk, the name of the congregation, and everything he said. They of course did nothing.

Circa 1985: CO Carl "Slicin" Dyson is assigned to circuit 15 in Queens NY, and comes through the area with the objective of trying to light a fire under all of us "slacking" bros & sis.
He criticized everything about everybody, including pointing to those at cong meetings and circuit assemblies who were sleeping while he was speaking.
Here is some of his "words of foolishness" when he visited our congo. (Keep in mind the year is 1985): He said:"You've got brothers talkin about retirement in 10 more years!. Isn't that foolish?! Do you really think this system will still be around in 10 more years?!
Its been 23 years since 1985. And this "system" is still here. He 's probably retired from the circuit work himself as he was already in his late 50's back then.
What a fuc!@#$%gveruul he turned out to be.

it had been 5 years or more since i even read a watchtower article after exiting the witness cult in late 2003. but i was curious to see if the new " witness only " watchtowers were more controlling than i remember them being 5 years ago.
and it certainly opened my eyes to the extreme control.
when you have been away from it - you can really see the difference !
Mr. Flipper,
I also usually can't even bring myself read those shittowers anymore. The only time I open one is when I catch some of the drones doing streetwork, and I challenge them that I can find statements that go directly against the bible in their magazines. And I always find something.
But just reading what you posted from the latest shittower made me really angry.
It is absolutely amazing how even at this late date of 2008, after all that has happened, how they can still listen to that crap and not see how they are being manipulated.
My answers to your questions are yes.
And here is something that probably not one of those drones will think about as they read that false definition of covetousness in their shittower :"Covetousness is a strong desire for something (We Do Not Possess)." Per mama borg.
Well if thats the case then all jws are full of covetousness, because they profess a "strong desire" for the so-called "new world", something they do not possess. Covetousness. According to their false definition.

our great teacher, please tell me when the end is coming.
i have been waiting to tell everyone the great news, that i will live in paradise, and they will simply die, and that includes there kids.. i love all jws.
How about this one: 1940 "The prophecies of Almighty God, the fulfillment of which now clearly appears from the physical facts, show that the end of religion has come and with its end the complete downfall of Satan's entire organization." {RELI 336} (The book Religion by J.F. Rutherford pg 336.
According to this it all came to pass 68 years ago!
Oh how I love those time warps. They keep you from being destroyed.

i am not sure if anyone has asked this before but i am curious.
does anyone know approximately how many of us have left the watchtower society in the past 20 years.
it seems to me that it is compounding monthly lately.
Since I have been out, I have met a good number of exjws, who don't even know about exjw websites. In fact, in my conversations with them, when I inform them about all the things that have been found out about the wt in the past 18 years, they are unaware of these things. Recently while looking for a house, the real estate agent turned out to be an exjw, who got out when he was about 18. He was totally unaware of the pedophile scandal, the UN scandal, the latest on blood, voting,false prophecies, etc. He was shocked!
I have had this same type of experience many times with exjws. So, in harmony with other comments on this thread, I think there are probably many times more exjws, than it appears to be.

hello everyone im a newbie, so what ezactly do we do hear besides meet one another and socialize, lol just would like to know the ropes.
thanks!
Hello Marsha,
As you probably realize, we are a mix here of people who have either left the watchtower, are in the process of leaving, or are starting to question the watchtower.There are also some here who never were jw's, but who also use this forum.. Basically, we have found out the honest truth about the wt society, and we express it here.
You are free to express whatever opinions you have here, on any topic, including questions about the borg ( aka: watchtower ).
You can find out more about the flavor here by also reading up on the profiles of those who post here. Just click on their name and then click on "Profile" and you will be able to read that person's story.
I myself grew up in the borg, was an elder for the entire decade of the 1990's, found out the borg is the biggest scam on planet earth, and I stopped going.
Welcome to the board.

middle tenn late 70s.

Dinah,
You got that right.

hot off the presses - just some of the latest garbage coming out of brooklyn as found in the 1st study article - repudiate "valueless things" (4/15/08 koolaid edition wt): .
par 17: another example of valueless words is found among the religious leaders of christendom.
these claim to speak in god's name, but most of their utterances are not based on the scriptures, and what they have to say is basically worthless.
I didn't read all of the comments here, so I may be repeating what someone else has said.
But in harmony with this 4/15/08 wt article, every jw should be repudiating the wt society.
It itself is valueless.
