They are always saying things to keep followers hanging on 6 more months. Gotta love the secrets. "There's something behind door number 3........ but we can't open it just yet......but soooooon we will."

GB says, "Our way of worship will soon be altered."
by Separation of Powers inmy mom called me yesterday to ask how i was doing.
i hadn't seen her in a while, so it was nice to hear her voice.
we went through the motions of jw small talk and then she started telling me about her co visit from last week.

that cult side that comes out, like a werewolf, has been solid evidence to me this group is full blown cult, it's something you only see on the other side isn't it. - freemindfade
Yes totally agree. Nice to know you have had the same experience. It's a bit surreal to see now - on the other side - as you say. I had no idea before such a thing happened.
I know I must have done the same thing. In our mind we were "defending the truth". In reality, we were brainwashed cult weirdos. Sad.
I guess it will just have to click for the wives at some point. Hopefully it will, if we patiently erode the foundation. The cult has a huge head start on us, but we have 24/7 access. I insist on winning.

For me that sealed my mental departure from this madness, watching him speak with such distain about people who have put so much into their fantasy.
Yeah after that talk, I was complaining to my wife. She was agreeing all the way down the line until I said, "It's so obvious that God isn't using that moron", then BOOM she flipped. Cult girl came out. Eyes changed and everything. She actually mentioned the word divorce later that evening, but in a weird, passive-aggressive way. And we are a couple who have never gotten into a fight bad enough to separate for even one evening.It's sick the hold they have on people. Now I know why they do background checks on people that pick the GB up from the airport and have handlers etc. They probably get death threats often. They earn them.

...and it's a wonder that JW old-timers and spinsters aren't hurling themselves off the roof. - sir82
That made me laugh ....so freaking true.
They act like they are being understanding when they are really throwing salt in the wound with those lyrics.
Keep 'em bare foot and pregnant!!!! That's the Watchtower Way!!!

I also like the reply -"No, I didn't hear this from apostates...Satan told me, and like Jesus I want to make a reply to Satan."
(I guess Jesus wasn't an intolerant religious bigot.)

New forum: one month progress report
by Simon inwell, we survived the first month at least!
yes, the new forum is now 1 month old.. of course there have been some issues and i'm grateful that people have been patient while i worked on them.
a big thank-you to everyone who's been patient, have provided useful feedback or just been willing to adapt to something new during the transition.. i've also made some improvements along the way and am fairly happy with how things are from a basic functionality and performance perspective so it's time to start looking at some of the new features i've been planning.

Iam scheduled to go but haven't yet.
So this is what I have to look forward to:
1) Guilt
2) Fear
3) Fear
4) Guilt
Sounds like par for the course. It's such a good ole boys club just with religious overtones. Basically it's like there's an unspoken agreement. The Org. will prop up elders and tell the flock elders are used for a special service by Jehovah - if the elders agree to follow their rules and respect the chain of command. It's a "We will stroke your back if you stroke our's" kind of thing. I mean it is palpable when you are in those meetings.
