If a mass exodus take place I would become a believer again, I be damn there
is a GOD.
i haven't been to a meeting in 15 years but my mother and sister are hard as j.w's.
the brothers they are appointing elders are at best suspect like one guy from my old hall made elder,big time drug used before becoming a j.w his talks are all over the place and would have struggled to make m,s years ago but with at least 60 to 70 % of young ones leaving the pool to pick from is at best reduced.. 2 other recent elders both young and zero life experience both on benefits one not well at all falls asleep all the time.. the decent,kind elders mostly older and are decent people with alot of life experience are burning out fast as there are so few of them left like 3 per congro of 100 publishers.. then you have the rich elders who wouldn't ever think of inviting some poor older or mis-fit person out to the expensive placers they go to as they couldn't afford to go so they are above the r&f and the r&f get pissed off with them.
then we have the ones who have "put the kingdom 1st" who are now old worn out and barely getting by from welfare cheque to welfare cheque that are saying "the system should have been over many years ago" it's still here and they are struggling everyday.. then there are the pioneers who have a low payed reduced hour job that seem to think anyone who has anything is totally materialistic and looks down on anyone getting a new car buying a house ect.. along with the child abuse issues,the generation change,access to information the the g.b don't want anyone to know ,not to mention the issues around blood.. is there a tipping point coming????

my daughter's friend from university had jws call on her this morning.
they started off by asking her if she knew any witnesses.
then they said you may have heard things about us but it's not the way it sounds!.
Please believe me we are good people, it's Satan who is trying to bring us down.
That should go over great with the householder.
last night i ran into a former elder friend, he is in his late 70s.
he asked how i was doing and i asked how he was doing.
then out of the blue he tells me; .
The only way my JW family member would wake up Jesus himself
would have to come down and tell them, you folks are in a cult.
That would not be enough for some, they would think it's Satan trying
to mislead them.

That's funny, "You may have heard things about us".
A guy comes home early in the morning from hanging out with his
friends. He tell the wife, before you hear it from your friends let
me explain what happen last night. That will get her attention, LOL.
If I didn't know anything about JW that would get my interest, not
a smart open line.

My ex told the kids, I have the hope to be resurrected in paradise, nothing
about the end coming soon.
why such a difference between jew and gentiles, so that the jew is at once.
recognized, no matter what race he lives among.. and how did the jews come to have such strange traditions setting apart, racially.
and religiously from gentiles???.

just on of the perks of being an apostate who is married to a branwashed, blinded jw woman.
you know, we have been married for ~27 years....most of which we had nothing to do with the piece of shite cult.
up till the begining of 2014 was when i woke up.
You can't compete with that piece of sh--t cult, especially if she is brainwashed. On a
another note, 27 years of marriage sex life takes a back seat in a lot of cases.. There may be
a problem with your wife, or sex is not that important to her. When she said "go ask my therapist",
was she referring to your therapist or her's???
StarTrek, beat me to the punch, "therapist".

Yes I agree Simon. Bur for a believer and Jews, Deuteronomy 7:6 For you are a
people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of ALL
peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.
Why would God do that when he knew it will cause division. Your thoughts
believers..What about the rest of mankind, He sh---t on them?
