I agree with above. Growing up in the 1980's, the older JW's and even my parents, could argue and reason a good bit at the doors or anywhere else for that matter about religion, doctrine, etc. We had to be able to, because how else could you prop up the 1914 date, Generation that won't pass away, etc? Now what do today's JW's have? Nothing. Just stand next to a cart, turn on the iPad and show a video and go, "Duuuuuh....uhhh....if you'd like answers to your questions, please attend the Sunday Meeting at da KingDumb Hall. Have a nice day!" Then mark your time down as a return visit.
I myself believe that the "dumbing down" of the current "Generation" of JW's is complete. GB at HQ have complete control of the rank and file, and all dissension (AKA, brazen conduct or questions) are handled with a swift JC and DF'ing. Only the hardcore zealot idiots are left. They are the ones that lap of this tripe, shove their hard earned money in the contribution boxes and ATM's with nothing to show in return, and say, "Oh please Sirs, may we have some more?" And the GB in their punch-drunk authoritarian state, are all too happy to shovel some more spiritually rotten tripe upon their plates. Yum! Yum! Lett & TOMOIII in particular seem all to anxious to heap on an extra serving. **GAG**

JW's being shown factual information and responding, might as well parrot "The Waterboy".
Pew Research Survey? "My....my.....My momma (JW dot org) says that's from Da Debil!"
Transcripts and actual court documents showing child abuse in JW Congregations the world over?
"My....my.....My momma (JW dot org) says that's from Da Debil!"
Any factual data........any data or real biblical scholarly work at all not approved or put out by the WTBTS?
"My....my.....My momma (JW dot org) says that's from Da Debil!"

Child abuse a sin not a crime to JW's
by snare&racket inthis australian investigation is astounding to watch.. the elders clearly don't see child abuse as criminal, if a jw confessed to murder, the police would immediately be called.
yet child rape is a spiritual issue..... ridiculous.. this is what happens when 7 window cleaners lead a bunch of dangerously loyal, ignorant middle aged men ...... in managing 7 million people..

Wow......that testimony above is very telling about the conditioning and mind-control that the flock (especially the Elders) are under, doesn't it? Here we have an Elder being asked point-black if he'd notify the police of a murder, and he flat out states he wouldn't, and that he'd have to call "Legal" at "The Branch" to ask if it's ok to do so. Wow!! That's some good control going on right there! What a freakin' tool this Elder is! Typical Elder tool. -

Need Help! JW Grandmother (may be) Going to Court for Visitation
by Expanded-Mind ini am hoping someone may be able to give me some guidance on behalf of my son.
my ex-wife, who remains a jw, is threatening to go to court to get visitation with our 5 year old grandchild.
she had regular visits with our grandchild, but when my son (no longer a jw) and his wife (never a jw) found out that his mother was teaching their daughter the jw religion without their permission and even telling our grandchild not to tell their parents... well to say the least, that was a game-changer.

I just bet your son and D-I-L absolutely LOVE your ex-wife, huh?
Unsupervised visits with my (non-JW) in-laws ended when they were caught taking our 6-yr old son on day-trips etc with the granddaughter who yelled at him in a restaurant and then cyberbullied him online and was caught. We had forbid the girl from being around our son again, but apparently the Mother-in-law didn't think she had to abide by our rules. She was wrong. She sees our son about once every 5 months supervised by my wife. NEVER alone anymore. She's not happy from what I hear. (I haven't seen my in-laws in years cause they are assholes) I hear she's depressed because our family are like strangers to them. Oh well....with treatment like what they were dishing out, who needs them? Not us.

Horrible Bosses
by John Aquila ini just heard this a few minutes ago by a jw friend who is still an elder in my old hall.
the kingdom hall i used to attend and my mom still attends was paid off many years ago and serves about 6 congregations.
one of the english congregations has a lot of financially well of members.

Yeah, just imagine......you are an Elder going thru this. You come home, and relate to your wife how the WT Org and C.O. have just demanded that the BOE send in another $70K of the Congregations money from a PRIVATE savings account, that had nothing to do officially with the WT Org. Instead of your wife being flabbergasted, and on your side, she instead looks at you sheepishly and goes, "Yes dear, you are to do whatever the Society instructs you to do...." - or some such bullsh*t. Then, if you push the subject, your wife threatens to leave and divorce you on grounds of you being a spiritual danger!!!! So basically, your wife isn't your wife, she's the WT Org's wife. The Org comes 1st, and you are a distant 2nd at best. I bet those poor Elders are ready to either 1.) shoot themselves or 2.) shoot the C.O. for causing such "divisions".
This is an incredible account. Do we know where and which Congregation this is? It's just an amazing money grab of enormous proportions. What a fleecing of the flock.

So let me get this straight? They're not going to give this cars to needy members who may actually need them, because after all they were bought with DONATED MEMBER FUNDS.........oh no........they are going to SELL these vehicles back to the very people that donated the funds to begin with? A double-dip, yes?
The WT can SHOVE their sh*tty used up Buick LaCrosses and lesser Chevy Impalas. Those vehicles are CRAP anyway. What a joke.....a sad, sad, joke on the members.

Money-grubbing bastards! It's experiences like THIS that show me that God has long stopped being behind this "Organization", if he ever had been to begin with. (Probably not, what with all the pyramidology and convoluted BS)
What I find amazing, is that after the first $100,000 was "Donated" to the Org, that the members were actually gullible enough to start saving up AGAIN. If I'd have been in that Congregation and that had happened and we were then denied that major remodel, there is no way in hell I'd donate another cent to anything. That would have been IT!!!! But these poor gullible saps actually started saving up AGAIN? Just to have it demanded by Mother Org? And the Elder's wives and a few other members are still loyal to these crooks? That is some effective brainwashing & conditioning right there! Keep 'em coming back for more abuse!
Can you even imagine how those Elders must have felt, after the CO demanded they send in the next $70K that the Congregation had saved up? I mean, can you imagine having to sheepishly tell the flock that the CO and/or WT has demanded the rest of their hard-earned saved money? I wouldn't have done it. I would have withdrawn the money, given it back to the people who donated it with the accounting records I had, closed the account, told the CO to f*ck himself, and immediately resigned as Elder, and walked out of the KH never to return. What are they gonna do? For giving back the people's money from a private account that they themselves donated?
F*ck the money-grubbing WT Corporation.......and make no mistake about it; that's what this farce of a religion is - a CORPORATION.

That horny 20-ish JW Brother is thinking, "Look at those experienced legs....those ample firm breasts.......I'd hit that, 2x even!" Well, at least that's what I'd have been thinking if it were me. What can I say, I dig experienced women. I'm thinking she'd like to taste his youth by the smile on her face. She's an undercover Cougar for sure. Meow. -

Panera or Atlanta Bread is much better. I've been in many a Tim Horton's in Canada though, and I've never had any problems like that, or else I would have never gone bac.
