  Nicely worded Terry!

  This very subject is what led me (and others I'm sure) to ttatt. I was raised as a dub and served as a pioneer, MS, elder (PO) for over a combined period of 40 years. I worked hard over many decades to deliver hundreds of talks and meeting parts that presented certain jw doctrines and teachings as "absolute truth". I used the chains 'proof texts' to further convince the congregation and individuals of "the truth".
  

  Then, in just a few WT articles, everything that I held as undeniable truth was changed by "new light". So, like others here, I realized that if "new light" completely changed what I had spent decades believing and teaching, I had wasted a lot of time teaching and believing a bunch of bulls**t. So sad!

  Lacking some of the pieces in the puzzle

  by oppostate in

  i had a chance last weekend to talk with an elder i used to serve with.

  a very kind hearted and understanding elder, always showing sympathy and concern for others, looking out for the little guy, the downtrodden and oppressed, even willing to stand up to uncaring company-men co's .

  he was po way back then and became the cobe in the new re-0rg, until, that is, the gb came out with the age limit.

  The 'older ones' that are still dubs and have been dubs since the 40's and 50's and are still here suffering from old age problems surely must be thinking "WTF"! I surely would be If I were still a dub but, eyeuse2badub.

  Need to vent: My loathing for the JW cult increases more and more, while my wife clings more and more to it

  just as i think my loathing for the jw cult has peaked, it goes higher and higher.

  i wish this cult would just go away.

  i wish my wife would just wake up.

  Hey goingthru........

  I'm in a similar situation at home. Also much like our friend Doc, I became very ill when I discovered ttatt. Today, after nearly 8 years of stepping away from the WT, i am very much at peace with my life and my wife. I attend some Sunday meetings with her so she won't have to go alone and some assemblies. No attending the CLAM, no longer go in service, participate in meetings, clean the kh, donate, etc. Very much a fringe member to keep peace.

  I also use some of biblexaminer's strategy especially when we see the "cart" witnessing. I like to point out the 'do nothing' preaching that it must be embarrassing to stand and 'do nothing'. I often watch the monthly broadcast so I can question her on her opinion of how it went. I know that even she is embarrassed by some of the crap the gb throws out there. The "generation" timeline was laughable!

  What's a word that describes the way Witnesses behave as a group?

  by paul from cleveland in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i can't recall the word that describes a group that keeps to itself like the witnesses do.

  i thought it was "insular" but i don't think that's the one i'm looking for after reading the definition.

  i remember an elder using the word "clannish" and that has the proper definition but it reminds me of a group of elves.

  Notable changes of the JWs org, in the last five years or so

  i've been updating the links at my web site and i'm working on the gtjbrooklyn pages now.

  what would you say are the several biggest changesin the jws organization/rules in the last five years or so?

  The most notable change I've seen is the apathy that has invaded the borg. No more urgency. I hear more and more lifers sarcastically mentioning how we "should have been in the Paradise by now"!

  The migration away from all religion has started and is especially noticeable among the 'cult' religions.

  Has anyone else collected their money back from local Kingdom Halls for money loaned for construction?

  by StoneWall in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just a reminder if you haven't, to get it back before they sell any more halls.even if you're currently da/df you can still collect any monies owed you by the kingdom hall as far as loans go.we were able to get back $1000 that my mom had loaned the local hall for a loan to build new one.it was documented by the paper that had been given each publisher back then on how much they could/would be willing to give as an outright donation or a loan.

  the loan was to be paid back whenever the publisher requested it.

  (not a specific date)i can't help but feel that a lot of the old timers that loaned monies to the society and/or k-halls have been forgot about by them or their families.

  NO! Like a fool, back in my "gung ho", "holier than thou" days, I gave $5k toward building our new KH. Now that I'm retired, I could certainly use that $5k for 'drugs, sex, and rock and roll'. lol

  WT should admit that 1914

  by bobld in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  was a man made date when jesus came and that a generation is not 102 plus years.. why not say something like this.when the disciples asked jesus for a sign and the end of the age.jesus gave them a composite sign and said all these things will take place.when-before the people now living(at the end of the age which no one knows)have all died..

  I agree with OTWO

  • "It's not easy to dump 1914. They are slowly doing it anyway."

    
    

    The WT has to go slowly in backing away from it's hair brained teachings and dates or risk losing it all. If you will notice, the WT hardly ever mentions 1914 or the "invisible presence" or 'types and anti-types' or how the "remnant will steadily decrease as the end nears".

    Out of sight, out of mind is their motto as they move forward with busy work and changes to distract the rank and file from noticing their abandonment of previously held core doctrines!
