i found out that my husband has not only gone to the elders, but has been going to members of my family about me over a period of a few years.
this piece of news is just so depressing.
i've been wondering how my family knew i didn't go and thats why so many of them have becoming more and more distant.
This is so maddening, I feel for you.
I want to be sarcastic, and make comments like: "Oh, I feel so loved by God, and this convinces me it is the truth!" and "I think I'll start going back to meetings right now!" with a followup of: "I wonder what blackmail is?"
The people left in are getting more and more "obedient".. How is this any different than Hitler & the Nazis?
Make sure that you make friends with other people outside of this terribly mean organization.
just wondering if any one has heard from ones still asleep, what their feedback has been and what comments have been made by the rank and file??.

I am sooooooooooooooooo glad I am OUT!!!
im sure by now most of you are familiar with anthony morris talk from this weekend.
im even seeing memes posted all over instagram from jw mocking it.. here is my question, why are the things written so different from how the gb members, like anthony morris are?
i know the gb dont actually write the stuff but i was under the impression that they come up with the spiritual light pass if off to the writing committee and they put it in the publications.
Talk about "tight pants".... or explain why "the end did not come in the twentieth century" ?

Spot on, Punk!
i was thinking about this last night, in the year book they publish the number or peak and average publishers.
as we know a publisher could simply be a child getting out in service regularly.
if two parents baptized have to small children that are publishers then they are counted as four.
When I heard about the rearrangement of Circuit Assemblies, one day eacy?, and the "International" Convention, I thought, "Hey, this is all to condense everyone so that they can't tell the numbers are dwindling"
measuring the great pyramid of egypt reveals exact prophetic dates.. _______________.
that was the crackpot theory of so-called pyramidologists.. among the men who promoted this silly idea was the founder of the watchtower publishing corporation, pastor c.t.russell.. he did not originate pyramidology, but he copied the work of the astronomer royal of scotland, professor charles piazzi smyth.
as well as another fellow named john taylor (the great pyramid (1859) and built a grand bit of humbug theology.
Thx Terry....
Good question to ask:
"Would you have become one of "Jehovah's Witnesses" if you had read and known about all of this insane, non-christian pyramidology?"
As we have learned from Steven Hassan... 'If the answer is no, then you can conclude that you were in a cult.'
we are going to try and get the older wt literature and controversial ones uploaded.
if there is anything in particular you need, let us know.. "millions now living will never die" .

i recently learned ttatt and it really sickens me when i sit through the meetings.
i am so tired of faking things.
i feel like vomiting when annoying things are said from the platform.
It seems as tho people are using their "tablets" / "phones" at meetings now, right?
Perhaps you have a desire to learn something? a hobby? Can you take a college class, then study for it at the meetings?
That way you will kill two birds with one stone.
People see you at the meeting, but you are accomplishing things, feeling good about the time spent in your life.
It seems that is the pattern.. unless someone has been effected personally, then there is a chance of the beginning of a "hearing ear."
"Why don't you go to the meetings" sums it all up....
If you go to the meetings you can lie, cheat, steal, get drunk, party on, be a pedophile, and all is well...
Stop going to the meetings, and you are "mentally diseased."
in just a few weeks, this year will end and a new one begins.
nothing special, just 2006.. but when you analyse the jw doctrine, it is another nail in their already 91 nail studded coffin.
the watchtower has for decades taught that jesus' presence and rulership began in 1914. since changing the generation of 1914 doctrine, a whole decade has passed, with little in the way of anything new.
Reality: 2014 minus 1874 = 140 years.... Sorry Noah, you are past your prime....
Besides, Jerusalem (the "days" that OUR days are supposedly corresponding to) had less than 40 + / - years to "that" generation...
Not 100, 120, 140......
