  driving by a kh yesterday we saw a for sale sign in front of the building.

  it's on a beautiful piece of property off a main road outside the city limits.

  the building can be no more than 10 years old and is very beautiful.

  today is the 75th anniversary of the end of wii in europe.

  they were a special generation who were literally prepared to give their lives rather than submit to fascism.

  millions paid the ultimate price.

  My dad was a US Army WWII veteran. He enlisted and he fought the Germans in France. He didn't talk too much about his military service but when he did, he mentioned how brave and tough the British soldiers were.

  I had an older brother who was born before my dad enlisted so actually my dad could have avoided military service, but he saw what was happening and he enlisted. I'm glad he made it back because I wasn't born until 1947!

  I agree that they were the Greatest Generation!

  The only "teachings" that the watchtower will not change are the ones that will cause them land them in deep legal and financial trouble. So the bullshit blood "teaching" can never change!

  i was a witness from grade school ( 1976) until 2007. i seem to remember an important aspect that was always talked about at the hall as being a fact.they would say that "the rocks themselves would cry out" if the public preaching work was to stop,,,,, all i've seen and heard these past few months are the witnesses complaining about the witnessing work coming to a halt.but i've not heard one rock crying .. .

  Have you ever known elders who were more into being and elder than really being a believer?

  by phoenixrising in

  2. beliefs

  i have known many elders who were much more into the idea of being an elder and getting all the old ladies to tell them what wonderful talks they give and the power then really being a believer.

  i had one elder tell me that when he became an elder he was on top dog on top of the heap.

  i knew some who were really all about the religion and following the cult.

  That pretty much describes most elders. Most have less that a high school education but they get to be a 'top dog' in the borg! It's all fun and games until they realize all the fu*cking time and work it involves. Didn't get to see too much of my first 2 kids growing up cause I was an 'elder'.

  Are Ex-JW's Suffering From Burn Out?

  by IWant2Leave in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the reason that i ask is, in the two years on this forum and you tube, i've seen ex-jw's either drop off entirely or make fewer and fewer videos.

  i know the emotional toll can be high.

  is that the sole reason, or is it cost (video) or do you think it's external pressure (legal or family)?

  Like everything in life. As the newness wears off, so does the enthusiasm and zeal. Once the venting and ranting are done, it's then just about lending a hand of support to others who have found ttatt. Nice to know you're not alone too!

  The things comforting and soothing about yesterday's wt study were not having to get ready and go to the kh! Sat in my own chair and dozed off several times! Very soothing!

  What a wonderful time---for faders to fade away!

  i’ve been thinking about it for a few weeks and i’m sort of surprised that no one else has introduced this topic!.

  what better time than now for a fader to fade?

  no meetings, no field service, no elder visits, no assemblies, no convention, and no other bullshit busy work going on.

  It's been said; "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."

  I think that jw's are becoming very fond of not having to go to meetings and 'out in service'.

  What Phizzy said--Amen!

  I was also a basic born-in mom "got the troof" when I was 4-5. Over 5 1/2 decades of brainwashing. Reality is sometimes hard to accept but because it's real, It has it's on comforting solutions to life. When I found out that Santa Clause wasn't a real person, I was hurt but I moved on! You'll move on also and realize that living in that watchtower fantasy was just that and no more!

  I really think that the elders will tire of all the checking up that they are doing now. If this thing goes on for a few more months most elders will become complacent. Most elders are lazy when no one is watching! There is just that special something about not being there physically! IMHO

  For faders, I know that there are several 'fringe' witnesses that I call and talk to weekly that are ecstatic over the current situation in the wt organization. Even if they 'attend' a zoom meeting, they have been shutting off the video part and doing other things like surfing the internet on their other devices while the boring meeting is going on. One of my really old friends (totally pimo) spends the time working on his motorcycle in the garage during the zoom meeting the he is 'attending'!

  I've personally been completely inactive for 7 years now and even though I still attend some meeting with my pimi wife and have full access to all the congregation members, I do not receive the email link to hook up for the zoom meetings. Only my wife get the invite!
