hello, i'm new here and have woken up to the real truth concerning the org.
i'm sort of fading away at the moment.... i need help with something, i used to as a child celebrate christmas and have always had amazing memories of it (my husband hasn't as he was born into the org) but i gave it up when i learnt the "truth".
my interest was only in pleasing god and still is.
We reject WT because it weaved myth, falsehood and deceit into what should was presented as holy and sacred.
Why would we turn away from WT bunk just then embrace alternative myth, falsehood, and deceit because it might be a new or fun experience...
From the frying pan into the fire.
Same junk, new package.

and here's how judah looks as seen in a recent video - especially posted for those who knew judah over the years.
closet factory testimonial from judah schroeder.
Bumping this to the top for a moment here in 2022 to highlight how WT hypocritically endorses, and even funds, pursuit of higher education, such as a law degree from Columbia University, if, and only if, that university graduate is then indentured to a life-long career for WT corporations, perhaps even performing such work as an uncompensated or undercompensated volunteer subservient to the WT corporate gods.
Judah Ben Schroeder is son of a deceased member of the WT governing body, Albert Schroeder, who almost single-handedly wrote the original red cover Revelation Climax book for WT.
WT quietly funded a full university education for this son-of-a-GB while simultaneously condemning the pursuit of university education for the general JW masses, even imposing loss of congregation "privileges" against JWs that pushed ahead with pursuing or funding a full on-campus university education for themselves or their children.
Has anyone discovered the existence of any contractual evidence binding Judah Schroeder to exercise the WT funded law degree exclusively for WT interests?
Where, hypothetically, Judah Schroeder could be placed on the hook to monetarily reimburse WT for law university tuition costs should Judah Schroeder ever largely breach such a "vow of poverty" exclusivity agreement with WT corp by breaking away into his own independent law practice estranged from WT corporate interests?
Judah is approximately the typical age of secular retirement in the United States. Will WT keep working the aging man, or cut him loose to build some personal wealth before his final years?
When WT taught that the scriptures were written primarily for the limited number of anointed JWs, such was at a time when WT taught that all anointed JWs were the f&d slave class.
Since WT has changed the identity of their f&d slave to be strictly the small group of anointed men serving at WHQ, aka the GB... it is a wonder that they didn't also then declare the scriptures to have been written primarily for the GB.
this video may be helpful to someone you know inside or exiting wt captivity.. the video is one long hour, but it unpacks damning fact-checked citations along with some dredged audio clips of gb bs, such as fred franz publicly doubling down on 1975, and sam herd publicly degrading women.. the content will be familiar to most of us here, but it could be a 'narcan' antidote to help awaken someone from the jw poison overdose.

Geof Jackson also fails to mention that the old book he boasts about is a publication that WT has attempted making unavailable to modern view. Even JW members will not find a digital copy of the book via normal WT channels, and certainly cannot order a hardcopy from WT as the book was long ago placed on the checklist for obsolete/discard/destroy.
These days the contents of most old publications are embarassing to the WT image.
Why Geof Jackson was permitted to go on camera publicly raving about that old book is yet another GB blunder.
We can expect much more GB folly to come in the future as they continue to seek greater screen-time and appoint new misguided characters as members of the governing body.

"they", as in governing body dweeb Geof Jackson... Yes, in that video he explains why he proudly displays in his executive office an old book published by WT. He omits explaining that the book displays is a revised edition, not a first print volume, which contains some outrageous (anti-Jewish) commentary and other WT rhetoric.

Millstone Research video:
i was asking the above question because a pomo friend of my family told me about an incident involving her and a couple of dubs who were physically abusive in the past.. a single sister who was running around from one cong to another cong looking for a husband.
she was visiting my friend's cong for less than a year.
there was a commuter bethellite bro who was very friendly towards my friend (which i'll call her "q") and her fam members.
Has Anyone Had any JWs PHYSICALLY Put Their Hands On You (And Not Within A Family Unit Situation)?
Yes.
up to 30,000 people contracted hiv and hepatitis c in the 1970s and 80s after being given blood treatments or transfusions on the nhs.. thousands have since died.. it just goes to show there is no such thing as a sure thing.. the wts may be wrong about their blood doctrine, and their bible interpretation to justify it, and how they enforced the rules about it, but ultimately may be correct in claiming that "bloodless surgery" was a safer option medically.. canada also had a contaminated blood scandal, where 30,000 were infected with hepatitis c and hiv.. in other news, paying for blood from high-risk donors is a bad idea.
who knew?
well apparently the people behind the schemes did, and that's why they covered it up.. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-61929986.
Yes, and now a future scandalous risk related to spike proteins and mRNA.
there is mention on a wikipedia article that there was a 2006 revision of the nwt.
is this true?
what differences are there?
@Jeff
Here is a WT official explanation of its "revision" to the NWT of 2013. This basic explanation cites only a few relatively benign "adjustments". Deeper research is required to identify the more biased additions/omissions which conveniently favor JW dogma.
Intro:
"OVER the years, the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures has been revised a number of times, but the 2013 revision was by far the most extensive. For example, there are now about 10 percent fewer English words in the translation. Some key Biblical terms were revised. Certain chapters were changed to poetic format, and clarifying footnotes were added to the regular edition. It would be impossible in this article to discuss all the changes, but let us consider a few of the main adjustments."
