36Give 'Em Hell, Apostates!
by Farkel inhow far we've come in just the last ten years.. just ten short years ago, the term jw "apostate" still carried a stigma of held-over shame to most ex-jws and they rarely called themselves by that term.
i wore that badge proudly, but i had already been out of the wts for over 20 years by then.
slowly, but steadily the term went from shame to neutral to a badge of honor!

Mariusuk,
Your comment is true for some dubs, but not all. Three of my sisters still feel that you cannot question or disobey the gb in any form or fashion.

1988: Circuit Overseer Tom Meekins says while giving a talk in our congregation: "If the governing body tells us to jump, we should say: "How high?"
Such crap!

Here's a couple of things:
They would try to kill apostates and all so-called "worldly people", if the gb told them to, according to the 1953 watchtower question from readers.
They would drink koolaid laced with cyanide if the gb told them that this would cause them to wake up in the "new world".

aSphereisnotacircle,
Your story gave me a good laugh. She was an example of a good drone.

I was also the watchtower study conductor at the time and I conducted that watchtower study. Having been born "in", at the time I was still loyal, and just figured it was new information. However while preparing that study I understood the implications of the change, but there was so much injustice going on within our body of elders with the way many of them were treating members of the congregation, as well as disagreements among the members of our body of elders, that I just didn't focus on that information at the time. Also my personal battle with some of the elders and the then circuit overseers and wts officials was just heating up at the time, therefore my attention was more toward that. In addition our congregation had split around that time even though we didn't want to, so attention spans were short.
So I can attest to the fact during that watchtower study, the congregation basically had no clue as to the implications of the generation change. It turned out to be just another meeting that the majority wanted to end so they could get home and eat dinner.
As said by another poster on this thread, for me it also took another series of events before I realized the watchtower is nothing but a scam.
After I left in 12/99, I realized by talking with other exjws, that the 1995 generation change had made hundreds of thousands leave the borg. So it is interesting hearing your stories here attesting to the fact that the 1995 generation change was the last straw for many here also.

Thats right. Continue to stand your ground and don't meet with them.
As posted above, you are in control. Don't give any control to them.
They may get pissed off, but so what.
"F" em.

Don't Show Mercy to the Watchtower
by metatron incompassion and forgiveness are important qualities for all of us - but that said, this is not the time to 'let up' or start showing mercy to .
let's consider three ways in which they hurt people:.
first, they injure or wreck families.

Thats right Metatron.
No mercy for this most dangerous, evil, and deadly cult that has ever appeared on this planet.
Destroy the watchtower!
Vanish the watchtower!
Make it go the way of the Dodo Bird!

Is the Tower of fear and deception really starting to crumble ?
by Homerovah the Almighty inthere has been some dramatic changes going on recently with the jws as everyone knows , i can only speculate this is due to the once well hidden secrets.
that have been hidden so well from the eyes of the faithful followers, the overwhelming information on the inter-net may be the cause of this.. perhaps the power and arrogance that the gb held for so many years is indeed starting to weaken.. i'm actually seeing the faith weakening within my own family members that have been involved with the organization for decades.. they do seem to be down sizing a lot in their operations, wouldn't it be surprisingly ironic if " the truth " was the thing that really was to bring down their structured lies.. well we can only wish, right !
