Fact and trends..Global trends impacting religion in 2017 and beyond. (1) The world is becoming more religious.(2)Atheism is on the decline (really) (3)Christianity is growing but not as fast as Islam (4) Literacy continues to expand, by the year of 2017 8 in 10 global adults will be able to read. One of the most common assumptions is that religiosity is linked to economic and technological underdevelopment, as a society gets more technologically and economically advanced, the thinking goes religiosity naturally fades away and is replaced by more secular worldview. So it seems that the WT will be around for awhile, unfortunately...

Why the JW org should fail.
by Half banana indr margaret t singer, a professor of psychology at berkeley university california has studied the experiences of 700 cult members.
''consciously and manipulatively, leaders and their trainers exert a systematic social influence that can produce great behavioral changes,'' said dr. singer.. .
one of the ways the jw organisation exerts so much influence over its members is because it has created a culture sustained by constant propaganda, which polices itself according to how the leadership has moulded it.

My wife introduction to shunning. We just starting dating and we were out one evening shopping in our local city, friday night flee market. We walked up to this one stand and two young ladies were selling health food products. As we walked away my wife stated, they were nice young ladies. I told her they were my nieces, my brother and sister's daughters. She looked perplexed, why didn't you say something? Do they know you are they uncle ??..I told her, they know I'am they uncle but they are shunning me..She exploded, what kind of religion were you in....WTH -

Fred I'am not being prissy or acting indignant about it, I realize the age of marriage in the US is 18 but most states allow marriage at 16 and 17 with parental consent and Nebraska 19 and Mississippi 21...But I feel 16 is to young to get married that's my opinion.

I am getting disfellowshipped
by CitizenofEarth inmaybe some of you remember me, maybe not.
for general information i am now 19 years old, and living by myself.
for the past 1 year (more like 1.5 years) i have been quietly fading out of the hypocrisy of this organization, but since i still live in the town i grew up in it has been hard, and filled with different challenges.

Sunday, Monday, Happy Days Tuesday, Wednesday Happy Days Thursday, Friday Happy Days Saturday What a Day. If you are DF walk out with your head up high and tell them , thank you very much I'am so grateful. OR refuse to go in the star chamber, unless your family can sit in..Remember those elders are not special, in fact they are fools following a 8 member(GB) circle jerk....

Why the meetings are boring and uninspiring
by UnshackleTheChains ineach individual may have their own views as to why they feel the meetings are boring and uninspiring.
in my case i find the midweek meeting so, because of the constant emphasis on pitching watchtower literature.
its just monotonous and one big yawn.. i watch other christian faiths where they open up a chapter of the bible and discuss it's contents.

Watching the GEICO TV commercial,"Game night with a sloth". Friends have a peculiar game night as they try to figure out what a sloth is trying to draw. The sloth only draw a straight line before time runs out, for some reason it reminded me how boring the meeting can be. You Tube. Game night with a slot-GEICO

So you see why a love story between a 30 something year old and a 13 year old was creepy, even a 16 year old would be sick (most are still in high school).....
