on a previous post mamacita29 pointed up the low quality of new jw converts.. is the quality falling even more as the society use lower than low meeting, talks, broadcasts etc.. when i was active initially the organisation and standards seemed totally different today.
i have seen hard working intelligent elders fall by death or exhaustion.
the younger generation that came along never really grasped responsibility hence shortage of good elders, never mind the watered down to almost nothing quality of meetings.
Its not converts......or people wanting to be dubs.
Its born - ins being bullied, and coaxed into being baptized.
Like morris saying get baptized before getting a license!!!!
Lots of parents took that the wrong way, and well....kids are payin the price to be accepted by parents. Its nice when a parent says they are proud of their child, but only when its for the right reasons. Blackmail at its ugliest.

hi everyone, i have been lurking for some time now and decided to open the box (hence pandora).

anyway, this came to a head last summer with the arc.

i can't see another thread but maybe i missed it:.

so it's official, i am happy to report that we merged with another congregation having the same problem.
why is it good news???
because people are either waking up, fading or just not buying into this organization any longer or walking away.... i think many young ones are just not buying into it as much, i see many in the congregation i go to very depressed and some i know personally going thru major depression especially the young "sisters" in their early 20s.... .
It has ALOT to do with splanes explanation of the overlapping generation bullshit, that has people heading for the doors. Common sense is overriding stupidity. Keep it up gb......your doing a wonderful job.

what scripture if any is the organisation using now to validate the changes they have made regarding new light?
.
has anyone heard any more on this and do all the brothers and sisters now know about the changes.. just curious
Isnt it crazy, how 15 years have passed....and there still are some who dont know about new light changes?
Old timers especially..its very sad.
crofton wins key role on jehovah's witnesses campus.

engineer lands role on scheme that will predominantly be designed and constructed by volunteers.
I thought "the end" was soooo close..
I guess they dont even believe their own crap!!!!
i have been lurking on the site for a few months and thought it about time i plucked up the courage to step out of the shadows and say hello.. i am in the process of fading after realizing all is not right with the organization i had trusted implicitly for over 40 years.
there have always been 'truths' i have struggled to accept entirely, even as a child, but was confident that trusting in jehovah, building my faith and remaining patient would be enough to settle any nagging doubts that remained, so i pushed any inconsistencies to the back of my mind and concentrated on being the best witness that i could be.. over the last few years, however, i have been preoccupied with a number of crises in my family and stepping back slightly from 'theocratic' activity has allowed me to re evaluate a number of concerns and research sources other than the sanitized wt publications.. my eyes are now wide open - i found things which have appalled me and left me feeling extremely let down and disappointed by people i had really trusted.. i tried gently raising a few subjects with my mum (who was baptized early '70s and still remains a staunch wt supporter) but she will hear no criticism of the organization.
i understand this because the best part of her life has been invested in the religion and to acknowledge it may have got things wrong would be to recognize the last 40 years have been a vain waste.
slightly redacted for privacy of those involved.. so, this is "park witnessing" in oklahoma.. the parks in this community are basically walking trails and some tatty playground equipment.
most of the time, sparsely used, and today was a very blustery day.. notice the justifying comment- "quite a few" checking out the cart.
i am sure they were..... .
OMG !!!! That shit is just toooo damn funny!!!!
Cart people are looking for the most deserted spots in the world, so they dont have to actually talk to anyone.
@OUTLAW.....Dude its like you come through on demand!!!!
That shit is cool.....

my son is nearing completion of his 3-1/2 year chemo journey.
i have an appointment with his primary oncologist at the end of next month as an end of treatment exit meeting.
she and her team are leads at this particular hospital.
In my opinion,.....doctors, and their teams..find happiness in the simple fact that the person they helped..walked out of that hospital a healthy person. ALIVE!!!!
