  wife and girls are at the convention today.

  hate this time of year.

  Tech 49: the 3 F's...Fading, Field Service, and Friends

  by Tech49 in

  here we are, the family and i, moving along in our slow journey to freedom.

  although they are unaware, for the most part, our ship is slowly veering off course.

  not enough to cause attention, not enough to trigger alarm bells, but just enough.. since the summer dc, i have watched carefully, as the new releases remain on the coffee table, in plain sight, not touched, more of a decoration that anything.

  The antidote to the myth that JWs are declining

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one of the most persistent myths on this website is that jws are already in decline, the rot has set in, and the descent of the watchtower is inevitable from here on in.

  unfortunately the facts do not bear this out.

  jws are still increasing even in most developing countries, and they are still growing worldwide at a faster rate than the general population.

  'We are all scallywags, but God loves us anyway' - My story

  by Laika in

  perhaps the most profound moment of my life occurred when i was sat in a car with my dad.

  we were travelling home and having a very jw conversation on the paradise, at least, it was until my dad slipped in one of those rare moments of honesty in the watchtower world:.

  that moment really hit me hard.

  Looooooooooong Prayers...

  by likeabird in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  let's have a bit of a laugh.. .

  who of you rolled your eyes when brother never ending prayers was called up to give the closing prayer?.

  who of you then proceeded to tap your feet, fidget loudly or start doing balancing acts off the back of the chair in front of you while waiting for it to end?.

  Another Newbie

  i recently came to the realization that the organization is corrupt and is false.

  my story is similar to many i think.

  i was raised in the religion, pioneered and served as an elder for a number of years.
