Lightbulb Moment ------> Two Witness Rule
by 4thgen inthe jw's always say that there must be "two witnesses before a matter is firmly established".
if that is the case, then why is the account of moses and the 10 commandments or jesus in the wilderness talking to satan taken as fact?
moses and jesus were both by themselves in the wilderness.

Another real good one is in the book of Deut. If a man rapes a woman in a field and she screams but know one hears, he is to be stoned to death. Of course this is a contradiction from another chapter but where is the two witnesses in that proclamation? -

World Wide Construction comes to a Shuddering Halt - Jehovah's Blessing has Evidently been Suspended!
by Slidin Fast inthe chelmsford project in the uk has already come to a halt and every one has been sent home.
the bethel family in london is to be cut by several hundred.
my impression is that most ambitious youngster in the org dream of being involved with the building program.

Someone posted here a month ago or so that they were about to be down graded. that along with them having to pay on a call or some other note because they lost money on Wallstreet is a possibility. These guys are acting like they have a gambling problem and are having to sell off property etc to keep from having their knees broken -

EXACTLY Why JW's Are NOT Christian
by Perry ina lot of people, ex-jws, believers and unbelievers alike, think that jw's are just a somewhat kooky brand of christianity.
is it possible to "try and follow jesus" and not be christian?
what exactly makes someone a christian?
-
Crazyguy
JW's do not follow many of the teachings of Jesus, do not see Christ as God or a God. These are two major reasons one could say they are not Christians. They are truly what their name says. They are witnesses about a Cannanite mountain God named El that later came to be known by other names including Jehovah -

The Borg going out of biz or a ruze, a time line.
by Crazyguy inwhen one connects the dots it's very intriguing.
i don't have all the details or in order but here's just some of the events.
2008 global financial melt down.

Some other things to consider that some of you also have mentioned. On Mike and Kim s YouTube channel they mention how many have contacted them as to quiting the Borg since November 2014. They have nearly 200 on their coffin lid and they have a small subscription numbers. Who knows how many have left compared to the small numbers that have contacted Mike and Kim.
Also the Pew poll of 2015 shows that the JW's income in the USA is near 30k per household per year, that's below the poverty line for this country. So it also looks like their bleeding members like crazy and no one has any money to donate.

2008 global financial melt down
Borg lays off some workers and starts selling properties, this may be do to major losses by them on Wallstreet.
Move headquarters to a remote area ofcountry, cults tend to do this when in trouble.
Gilead graduates no longer assigned to foreign lands.
Missionarys no longer supported monetarily by the borg
More branches being sold all over the world.
Cash grab from all congregations
Magazines downsized to save money.
DOs laid off.
Begging for money becomes more obvious.
Loans are deleted in favor of pledges
JW TV introduced apparently to help persuaded people to donate more.
Royal commission investigates the Borg
Major Borg beg for money telethon
All construction except Warwick stopped
More bethel layoffs and possible major reduction in special pioneers.
Another reduction in magazines.
Is this a ruZe or are they really going broke? This list is very telling.

FMF: A Wake Up Story
by freemindfade insorry for the length of this, i hope anyone stopping by to read will take the time and read it.
i haven't included any things i would consider "apostate" specifics about doctrines, or major scandals.
it's just a general layout of the path i took to becoming an exjw.
-
Crazyguy
It's interesting how stories can be very similar. I too was doing research with out going to any JW apostate sites. I to realized that their doctrines were way off, my wife like yours reported me to the elders and I was discusted at a memorial talk where a bethelite giving the talk was lieing about judas not being there and I wanted to just yell out, 'you liar'. -

Does Anyone Still Believe in God?
by LaurenM indo any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?
even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.
the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.

We can't prove it one way or the other and if there is a God it doesn't care about us so why should we care about it. -

I don't know how many members are in the UK but that doesn't seem like a lot of money from one of their top producing countries. The USA would be first but I figured the UK would be second followed by maybe Germany, Canada France etc. Maybe they really are having tough time collecting funds from the poor, what a surprise. -

All must be ready to obey...
by Half banana inin view of the recent financial pressures being spun as opportunities to hasten armageddon, i think we should look again at the meaning behind their cultic warning of "all must be ready to obey intructions, whether appearing sound or not".
by dripping these creepy injunctions into the watchtower study and therefore into the conditioned and receptive mind of the jw, how long will it be before they are able to decree something like this?......
