  pretty much when youve tried to stop on your own and cant. it becomes an addiction, just like any other drug. professionals disagree others agree.

  Thanks superman and I think your right about "friends might be thinking exactly like you".

  I have a couple JW friends who are deep thinkers and I can 'tell' they know whats up. Last time I felt that way I went out on a limb and txt messaged my friend "ttatt?" and he replied "yes". many awesome conversations after that.

  org is dying

  by lambsbottom in

  i don't understand why so many ex jws and faders think that the jws will continue to grow and thrive as a religion.

  i still attend a meeting once a week and you can smell the death of the religion creeping up when you hear the talks, read the study wts and hear the letters from the gb.

  the way the organization has changed is a sign that it reached its peak (in "healthy" membership) long ago.

I still attend a meeting once a week and you can smell the death of the religion creeping up when you hear the talks, read the study WTs and hear the letters from the GB. The way the organization has changed is a sign that it reached its peak (in "healthy" membership) long ago. The intelligent JWs are pissed and know the org is screwed beyond repair. The org attracts spiritually & mentally unhealthy people who bring their disease with them. Look at the Jonestown cult! At first, it was all sunshine and roses, utopias, and love (sort of). Then the cult started deteriorating quickly because of paranoia, pressure by law enforcement and the leader going absolutely crazy!

  The JW religion IS dying and it is clear to younger JWs especially! Trust me! Most of the active JWs I know dont care what the GB says about education. They are in it for the social structure! Get dressed up for the convention and have a fun time visiting with old friends, then go out to eat. That is what they look forward to in this religion!

  Anyway, maybe I'm wrong. But I say this religion (even though its always been 'sick') is slowly dying. My inactive spouse thinks he/she could be a Mormon more than a JW (dont worry, he/shes just comparing for fun). At least the Mormons give a damn if your children have good jobs, have a good education, and dont die because of a transfusion being denied.

If someone came to my door and told me the end of the world would be in x year, I would tell them I was sooooo sorry for their parents.

  But seriously, how were people reeled in so easily?
