Tell them everything that they WANT to hear, and tell them nothing more. Don't tell them that you have doubts, otherwise, every 3rd comment they make at the Kingdom Hall will be about YOU! How do I know? Because it's happening to me RIGHT NOW.

More JW STATS from this year's CA: Gods Word Is Beneficial for Teaching

this past weekend i wasted my time at another jw ca, during this time this is what our new do shared with all the drones and i just wanted to share with all of the current awaken jw's or ex-jw's.. .

public address: who is rocking the nations, and how?.

we all know the jw leaders love talk about numbers!.

Big numbers = God's approval, just ask the Catholics.

The Bible interprets itself, that's why JW doctrines never change.

Babies shouldn't be baptized, young children on the other hand ...

Who is easier to indoctrinate, men or women?

from purely anecdotal evidence, i believe women are more indoctrinated on average.

i can openly disagree with the governing body with men and it results in a discussion however, most women i've talked to have immediately shut me down by ending the conversation.

the only person currently shunning me is a woman.

Lot's of young mothers study with JWs for some reason. I noticed that as a very real pattern.

This photo woke me up

i was already on my way to my second fade when i went to the wildlife photographer of the year 2012 exhibition, but this photo made me lose faith in the idea of a loving creator......(the gazelle has been injured by the mother cheetah so she can use it to train her cubs to hunt).

I'm waiting for a good old fashioned xjw Jesus lover to sound off on this thread. They dare not, is my guess.

I think my fade has hit a rut. Do I need to grow a pair?

so here i am after about 18 months of wake up.

the first 6 months were a rollercoster of feelings as my whole belief system unravelled.

the last year has been more stable but things seem like they are just stalling now.. my wife is aware of many of my feelings although i have held back the fact that i am pretty close to denying all belief in any kind of god.

I feel ya.

Former pioneer/elder here. My wife and I both have 20 years of full time service.

I resigned as an elder in 2012, been a weak publisher ever since. I plan to convince my wife to move to another congregation.

The plan is to drop field service and do Sundays only. We make all of the meetings right now, and do FS every other Saturday. I'm commenting once per WT study, I said some stuff I shouldn't have to the elders when I first lost belief, I'm now doing damage control to keep from being dfd as apostate.

We can't be honest right now, but someday, someday soon, we will be able to be brazenly honest, with impunity!
