good afternoon , .
i have been having doubts for many years and as most jw's i have certainly not done myself a favor by suppressing all of my critical thinking.
i am married with 3 kids and my wife and i are inactive, but my wife has made it very clear in speech and action that she wants to go to all meetings, field service, and indoctrinate our kids.
Social systems mean too much to people. What about yourself? Where's your space? What about you? It shouldn't always be about them. Remember, if they come out saying apostate to you, that's their words, not yours.
In the end, we have to live with ourselves. Be kind to yourself.

quite frankly im disturbed at the lack of love and compassion.
especially for the first sister they talk about!.
I listened to this video and couldn't help think these guys were just like the Pharasees. They are splitting hairs for crying out loud. From the very beginning I never understood why there would be pioneers in the first place.
Shouldn't everyone just "go out in service" and let by gones be by gones. Just leave it alone. Why all the dick measuring.
I just don't get it, and never will. What a waste of time!
again with the pants... tony, if you can't stop looking at young men in tight pants don't take it out on the rest of us.

Tony Morris is a piece of shit!

I like how Dr Phil said that anyone who tells me to shun my wife and children are no friends of mine and that while standing in the KH, if my wife and children aren't welcome I would leave that faith.
I never thought of it that way, it makes some real sense.

I was hoping someone would provide a link, thanks. I just don't understand how that guy (husband) can't see through the lies of the WT
well, here we go.
hang on & grab some popcorn:.

Here's the link to the actual documents:
i was with my mom today shopping and she is still in the organization.
she is elderly so she doesn't do as much as she used to.
we went to the store and she purchased a calendar and on the way out she said that she finally got a calendar for this year.
So true. There used to be 24 magazines a year (2 awake & 2 WT per month). Now it's reduced down to six for the whole year. 3 & 3. And at the conventions any new releases are done via download only. That's it.
so i'm at work and go to my vehicle parked outside the empty property i'm working at and an elderly man comes out of next door and we recognise each other from when we were elders in the same circuit.
he is early 80's in age, a jw since the 1960's and so the next generation in age up from me.. he's an outwardly jolly sort and asks how i am etc.
(knows i'm not an elder but thinks i'm pimi) and asks if i want a cup of tea so i go in and sit in his kitchen for my lunchbreak and have a chat.. i have a little fish around and ask about how jw's in his hall are.
JW's always say that they need the new system real quick to put an end to their woes. It's sad.
earlier this week a new post on this forum announced that the 2017 worldwide annual service report was available on jw.org.
wow - that's earlier than the statistics for the 2016 service year which appeared in the 2017 yearbook last january!
good effort, jw organization!
good post. This is just what they do, hide their history.
what do you think there hiding?.
Class action lawsuits and all sorts of sexual assault lawsuits would spring up over night. They are hiding that.
