This trend is all part of "new light"!
The borg used to teach, "build and they will come"!
The adjusted view by the borg is, "sell. for they have gone"!

Sad but so true. Only jehober's witlesses can know which bible verses are literal and which are symbolic or figurative 'cause the goobering body (god's direct link to mankind) tells them.

When a jw receives a 'welfare' check or an unemployed elder or pioneer receives their unemployment check, do they praise jah for for those 'tools of Satan'?

Not too sure about selling existing kh's but one thing for sure is they are not building any new ones. I live in California and up until about 4-5 years ago, there was kh projects going on every weekend and all over the state. In the last 4-5 years, nada!
wtbts used to think like the book Field of Dreams---"build and they will come." Not so much now.

Reading The Bible Again After Leaving
by pale.emperor inat the moment i dont beleive in anything.
im pretty much an open book, but my critical mind is very alert to bullshit.
but anyway i decided to re-read the bible with a non jw filter.. i researched online first which is supposed to be the best translation out there.

The bible is like any other mythology writing. Some fact, some fancy, but mostly just plain old bullsh*t!
As I often tell my lovely wife (still in); all ancient civilizations had their mythological writings including the Jews!

Do you recognize?
by Gorbatchov ingorby has had a personal paradigm shift lately.. from one point to an other i "feel" and "think" different about the jw subject.. - no more interest in doctrine.
- no more interest in things that happen 100 years ago into an religion.. - no more taking statements too serious.
it doesn't matter me at all what a generation doctrine change is all about, it doesn't matter me at all that brother elder said "blablabla boe!".

I know what you mean, I think, maybe, possibly.
I still like to read the posts on this site because they are mostly interesting, but all the false and ever changing doctrine of jw's, all the failed 'end of the world' predictions, all the hub bub about pedophiles, and all the bullshit about dumb ass elders, well those were just the vehicle to get me to where I'm at today. I'm content and happy not being under the oppressive influence of the wtbts. Still can't believe that I gave up nearly 55 years of my life. But it's all behind me now and life is good and so are 99% of the people that I meet.

Good example of the scriptural admonition to "have 'conditional love' among yourselves". Some guy with a beard said those words long time ago, so I'm told!

I think this is an important question...
by The Rebel inwhen i first met my wife and on that so important first date i was 21 years old and sadly broke, she was an 18 year old au pair.
any way i treated her to mcdonald's but she had to pay for the meal.
now over 20 years later and still together, i realize how lucky i was she didn't say on that first date " if you can't afford to pay "our" mcdonald's meal f...off" .

Took my wife on our first date to (lol) a meeting at the kh. After the meeting we went to a cozy little restaurant for a burger and fries. I was very hungry but she didn't order anything to eat, only a coke. I generously paid. lol. About a month or so later she told me that she had also been very hungry but did not want to eat in front of me on our first date. lol. She didn't want to be presumptuous about me paying for her meal! lol. You gotta love a woman that is not just interested in your money! lol. I guess that's one of the reasons we are still together after 50 years!

Since we absolutely know that Armageddon is sooooo close, why are we building a new multi million dollar jw campus in Warwick my heavenly brother?
