The modern day Watchtower Governing Body operates like organized crime. If the internet is about to connect them with the crime of being a bat-shit crazy doomsday cult.......then kill all the witnesses and claim no connection to them. Demoting crazy Chaz Taz from the religion he started? These guys know no shame. Figures though.....Jesus was demoted by them years before Russell. Watch out J.F. Rutherfraud......you are next!

"One of the friends at EXTJ forum provided this list of WT branches that have been closed so far, there is also a mention that two large ones are in the process of being dismantled, they are Spain and Argentina. Posted for informational purposes and it seems to be accurate."
.
Wow.......that list of 41 Watchtower branch closures is impressive. Goes against everything they use to preach when they pointed to branch growth as a sign they had the truth. If this was a business corporation you would think it is trying to stop bankruptcy.
Wait a minute.....the Watchtower is a business corporation.

I feel like a piece of shit as I walk through those doors. I'm not being true to myself or honest with those around me. Dont know how much more of this I can handle.

Hang in there C.O. This religion forces everyone trying to leave to have different circumstances and ways they have to go about doing it. Conduct your own anti-theocratic warfare to keep it from bothering you. Good luck.

This conregation donation pledge arrangement could cause many problems between the JW's. Anyone suspected of not donating enough money or anyone leaving the cong for another cong will be ragged on bigtime. I remember making arrangements to move to a different city, when an elderette actually was pissed that they would not be getting my donations anymore. She actually demanded I keep donating to them to help pay for the new KH. I moved anyway and did not donate to my old KH.

BLOOD MOON and
by NAVYTOWN inhad anyone heard any jws talk about the fact that a blood moon lunar eclipse is going to happen on the night of the memorial?
i can't imagine that at least some witnesses aren't saying this event is a biblical 'sign' that amageddon is getting very close.
there will be four blood moons between now and fall 2015.....a very rare celestial happening.

The JW's have been wrong about the end so many times over the years that they will desperately point to anything that can give them hope that the Watchtower is the true religion. Deep down they know the Watchtower is a scam religious movement. It's like holding an old tech stock that is fading away to bankruptcy. Most JW's have too much invested to sell and move on with their lives. Also, the Watchtower cult has control of their families with the shunning practice.

You know everyone could be a Canadian all it takes is hardwork and due dilligence.

Being Canadian to me means.......having to take a 3 hour English reading, writing & speaking test for my PR even though I have American university education, and have read and spoke English only my whole life.

The Watchtower cult routinely made kids sit through meetings where they heard talk abouts demons getting people, all the terrible things that was going to be done to them during the persecution, and all the sexual deviant stuff talked about. Not sure how much of this stuff is talked about now at the Kingdom Halls, but the Watchtower was and will always be one messed up religion.

HOME SCHOOL and the upcoming generation of scientifically illiterate kids
by Terry inwhen i worked for a book store i became familiar with beka text books for home school.. i spoke with the mothers who came looking for them.
i realized something didn't smell right.. then, i realized there are a couple of generations of fundamentalist kids who have had no exposure.
to the scientific method, science facts or any conversancy with physics or biology or history as a result of beka textbooks.. in a nutshell here is the situation:.

Great way to put it DOC.
I never did agree with the home schooling clique in JW land. Thought they were just morons who pulled their kids from school, because they expected Armageddon to come before their kids guaduated and needed educational skills in order to make a living.
Deep down I was always suspect of the no higher education part of the cult. Kept my kids in school, let them be on the academic team and always had college as a goal for them.
This whole Watchtower way of religion robs people of life. Amazing that we could be convinved that we had to believe all this wacky Watchtower doctrine, go to all those meetings, and pedal Watchtowers door-to-door in order to not be destroyed at Armageddon by our oving God Jehovah.
To any lurkers out there. PLEASE....do no fall for the Watchtower guilt trip of no higher education for your kids. This religion is a cult con-job. There is no Armageddon coming to destroy you and your family for not following the bat-shit crazy ever-changing Watchtower beliefs. Have your children to get an education or skills that will enable them to make a living and provide for themselves and their family.

If The Organization Was A Country, Then.......?
by metatron ina different way to look at the organization.. suppose that the organization was a country of 8 million or so.
given that jw's believe that god will one day slaughter everyone else and leave them to inherit the globe, this is a fair matter to think about.. would "watchtowerland" be a theocracy..... like iran?.
would it be ruled by a group of old men........like the former soviet union?.

The outside world would call it Jehovahstan. It would be run exactly like Brooklyn Bethel. If they could get away with it....apostates would be put to death. These people would be a sick society if ever allowed to rule themselves.
