I talked to several people who believe the GB is inspired. I of course corrected them. Ignorance is widespread.

How exactly is the Holy Spirit 'directing' the WT?
by keyser soze init seems pretty impotent to me if it is.. let's assume, for the sake of argument, that they are merely 'spirit-directed', as opposed to 'inspired'.
and let's assume that there is even a difference(other than semantics) to begin with.
neither claim is validated by the end result.

Interesting KM. I see they are desperate to stop the exit of all the young ones. Too bad this will still continue. Now they are suggesting to have a more formal bible study with them. It seems they are having great difficulty convincing young people Jehovahs Witnesses have the truth.

Honestly I'm approaching this convention with a sense of fear and dread. Thankfully with the internet and the help of everyone here, I will know what's going to happen before I attend with my family so I can be prepared. I'm afraid we will be asked to do something objectionable and I will have to take a stand and lose my family and friends. However, its good to know that there are many out there who have seen through the fog. I'm preparing myself now to be independent if need be.

I do think the 144,000 being literal will be dropped. Since the gb=FDS it no longer matters. Of course if this happens the friends will lap it up as new light but the awakened will see it as further proof the GB is not spirit directed.

How Many Circuit Overseers And District Overseers Really Believe The Governing Body Is Really The Faithful and Discreet Slave and That The Watchtower Is God's Earthly Organization?
by frankiespeakin ini'm thinking around 20% have serious doubts and 99% have some doubts but keep them from becoming conscious to avoid cognitive dissonance.
this is becoming increasingly harder to do over the fact that the governing body are showing their true colors and the contridictions are so great..

It's well known amongst the friends that MTS usually cranks out the biggest self righteous Pharisees imaginable. Mts does nothing to make its graduates more like Jesus. They often come back feeling better than all the average brothers. not all MTS grads are like this, but many of them are the young ladder climbing, man worshiping type most people dislike. They idolize organizational big shots and look to score points so they can get district level convention parts. They will defend the org to the death and know everything about organizational procedures but little about the bible. If they actually studied the bible like I finally did they would quickly see how wrong some teachings are.

Has a critical mass of exJWs been reached?
by truthseeker init took the better part of 15 years but i believe we have finally arrived at that point where there is now a critical mass of former witnesses.. thousands of exjws come together on forums like this one and discuss findings, ideas and research.
there have been documentaries and even a movie made about life in the jehovah's witnesses.. ex jw websites, online forums, and discussion boards that set the wheels in motion in the early to late 90s have matured into powerful tools of social change within the organization.. the lies and false doctines taught by the watchtower bible & tract society are plainly accessible with just a cursory google search.. active elders leak boe letters, often weeks before they hit the notice board in a kingdom hall.. social media has allowed exjws to connect with those still in as well as those who have left.. the society have no game plan because information is power and they have lost the information war.
all they can do is cry wolf and warn the rank and file not to listen to apostates.. i don't know what future the society will face in the next ten years, but changing world events, social trends, and reactionary change from headquarters based on their own faulty biblical chronology has got them cornered like a raging animal.. it doesn't look good..

Band on the Run, jWs feed off a persecution complex. it makes them think they're doing the right thing. That's why the JW religion is big in intolerant areas of the world. In developed countries nobody even pays attention to jws. The solidarity of the community is eroding in developed lands.

These articles are depressing. Depressing to see friends and family lap up these untruths. And if you point out the falsehoods you become the enemy.

Confused?
by nomorepain13 ini have been going to meetings since i was a child, long story short only recently i've started taking the truth seriously, i am not baptized but just an unbaptized publisher.
truth is i am so lonely in the congregation.
the other young people in the cong don't like me because they dont think i am going to "stay" for long, i've even worked on the ministry with an older brother and asked her am i giving the wrong impression to people?

if you want a relationship with god and Christ I suggest reading the entire new testament without any Watchtower publications. That's what I did. I didn't even finish the gospels before realizing JWS don't have the truth. During my reading I realized they resembled the Pharisees not Christ. Then as i read Paul's epistles I realized that JWs lack faith in Christ. That's why they believe they can be declared righteous by works. Along with that come feelings of low self worth because you will never be good enough. the whole point of Christ is that god loves you even though you deserve death and that you are freed from death by means of this free gift. Jehovah doesn't give a crap about how many hours you do in service. his love is not earned. It's accepted. He extends it and all you have to do is take it by means of faith. This sets the pattern for how we are to love others. You will feel motivated to be a more loving person to your family friends and girlfriend in imitation of God and Christ.
