I'm sure someone already said this but man, if i wasn't baptised i would fane interest then blow up all their doctrines while asking questions and watch the brothers squirm. They will try to help and teach you but you could go one for some time just killing their religion. Maybe wake up a few as you go.

I would just say "thanks for your concern, but at this time i'm staying home and reading the bible, did you know that the bible is the only writting inspired of God and if one prays for holy spirit it will giude you? Also i notinced in Matt 23 that i have only one teacher and his name is Jesus".

40 Publishers
by Nosferatu inheh, publishers..... was talking with my mother the other day.
in the 17 years i've been out, my old congregation's publishers have drastically dropped.
when i was going , we were in the high 80s for publishers.

I'm wondering if there really is as many publishers in the world as they say, since so many halls are losing population. Maybe thier membership count is also a Lie.

Now that I have fully awaken from this nightmare Cult, it pains me to know that I have wasted most of my life. When I was young I was a very driven boy wanting to accomplish all sorts of things. I smart kid and an athletic one too. I had so much desire and drive to do something with myself. I was told that i was a good enough athlete to play college football and possibly other sports. I think back to all the things i wanted to do and missed out of virtually all of them because of this Cult. Instead I stayed home dropped out of school and helped my parents work as lawn maintenance persons waiting for this system to end. Now at 46 years of age all i have to show for myself is some pretty awesome children. But the war is not over, i have to wage another battle with this Cult to extract my children from its demonic clutches. I'm sure each child will be a different battle all to itself. Lets not forget when this is all over my family will probably be torn apart and my marriage over. Sometimes in life you're the bug and sometimes the windshield, unfortunately i guess i will continue to be the bug, for how many more years only time will tell.

No more district assemblies in Tri-Cities. News article
by Indian Larry infor years the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses has held a regional convention in the tri-cities, attracting about 16,000 of the faithful who spend an estimated $8.6 million while in town.. .
but they won't be coming in 2014.. "what they told me is the decision has been made nationally to downsize the number of conventions from 400 to 100. they're simply consolidating," said kris watkins, president and ceo of the tri-cities visitor & convention bureau in kennewick.. .

I have wondered for a few years why the DC's at least in my area near Tacoma have gotten smaller. I remember when we use to pack out the Tacoma Dome near 20k but know its like about 5-7k. I guess to reduce costs to the members travel and all. I too wonder if they're not going to make most DC's at the regular circuit assembly halls so they can suck in more profits. At my one day assembly a few months ago the expenses were 5K, thats for a building that's been paid for for over 30 years and the land was donated. I guess water is really expensive here in the Northwest where it rains all the time.

FREEDOM from human rules ? So how do jw's fit in with Colossians 2:13-23 then.
by *lost* in16 therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat and drink or with regard to a religious festival, a new moon celebration or a sabbath day.
17 these are a shadow of the things that were yet to come: the reality however is found in christ.
18 do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you.

607 BC vs 587 BC: Archaeoastronomy for Everyone
by Londo111 inhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amobor6pdbo.
even though this is an appendix to the main series, i thought id share this.
likely, it is not the most riveting video, but im hoping it can empower those interested in starting research into astronomical diaries like vat 4956. some might think its too complicated, but i believe such research is within everyones reach.

Good effort Lando, even though many JW's don't really understand the dates, if just one person can be effected on how 607 doesn't work therefore 1914 is irrelevant then you have effected the religion, so its importanat to keep banging at the door with truth.

Another Suicide
by Billy the Ex-Bethelite inthere wouldn't have been any good way to hear the news i suppose.
it's just so strange to recall the conversation yesterday.
my "still in" parents are with me and my inactive sister having a pleasant conversation.

Sorry to hear the news Billy, I noticed that I am angry a lot since becoming awake. Knowing that my family is being brainwashed and that i have been lied to for 40 years i have to say I'm on the verge of going Postal. I can see how these ones get this way even though i'm not the type to contemplate suicide. This Cult really sucks!!!!

Other threads have made claims of the GB becoming like the papacy but this undeniable proof that the GB is copying the Catholics almost exactly. Same idea about feeding the flock etc. just using different scripture to come to the same conclusion. JW's are now just a hybrid version of Catholicism.

I would go slow and just maybe talk with him/her about thier issues or concerns mention jwfacts.com and if they are real bible studyers then maybe piont them to paridisecafediscussion.org were they talk alot about bible topics. I know for myself after waking up, these sites really help me to become very knowledgeable with the bible. Before i was an average JW that could get schooled by any elder or pioneer with regards to bible knowledge, now i can give them hell.
