    Latest tv.org video. Only been mentally out 4 months, but Lett's concluding words made me want to vomit. The propaganda is thick. Work ourselves to death right into the new world. Boy, once you are disconnected, you realize how much you were in a trance with this nonsense.

    It goes for an hour and 20 minutes or so ? You have to be joking ! I could not sit through a program for that length of time with these charlatans , no matter what they were talking about .

    I'm convinced more apostates watch this tripe than actual witnesses!

    DHOH - Witnesses are now encouraged to have get-togethers every week to watch the "big brother" videos in a selected brother's home. (drinks & snacks provided!)

    I listened to the last several minutes of the above video with Lett. I already started

    simplifying my life by living the life Jehovah gave me here on his earth. I have never

    really, my whole adult life, enjoyed going to 3 meetings a week field service on

    weekends, studying for all the meetings etc. Some brothers and sisters are really

    gungho and deeply involved. I went to the meetings and went in service but I began

    to realize that there is a whole world to enjoy right outside my front door. Jehovah

    created all of these beautiful things in nature, squirrels running across my yard, birds

    flying around, gardens to tend if that's your desire but it seemed like you are running

    around in in field ministry to save other people ( so you won't be blood guilty) but

    you don't have time to spend with your family. My wife and I had 4 children and that

    costs money. I don't mind that. That's what money is for. But if everybody simplified

    their lives like Lett suggests and work part time and pioneer who is going to have

    valuable assets to give to anything? Some JW's may say " we will have time to plant

    gardens and do such things in the new system". So if live to be 80 that means I

    spent 75 years going to peoples door who don't want me there anyway and adhere

    to rules and regulations with no Bible basis, and the doctrines change on a whim and

    you need to hustle to keep up with the nulite. I know this sounds like a disjointed

    rant but I'm not very good at putting my thoughts down on paper. I usually blurt out

    my thoughts when my crap-o-meter gets peaked and then I get funny looks from

    elders who think I'm trying to cause trouble. I was not trying to cause anybody any

    trouble or draw anybody away from what they believe. Believe what you like. When

    I work a puzzle I expect all the pieces to fit. I guess I'm weird that way. If someone

    can truly explain that the 144,000 in Rev 14 is a literal number from the context of

    that chapter I'm willing to listen. The GB says it is a literal number. I can't see it but

    I bet if I wrote them a letter and told them I didn't believe it I'm sure there would be

    some repercussions. It may be literal, frankly I don't care and don't see it changing

    my life one way or the other but if you tell me if I don't believe it and I'm going to

    die as an unbeliever cause you say so it irks me real bad. I'm done for now. I feel

    better. Sorry for the double space. I tried to fix it but I can't. Didn't go to compu-

    ter classes. Didn't have time because I had to get ready for the meetings. LOL

    I accidentally hit dislike trying to like this post...like like like!!! It is disturbing. This new way to continue the mind boggling indoctrination is frustrating me, because my husband is sipping on the kool-aid and though we are now at a place where he is being respectful of my decision to not be a witness, he spends considerable time daily studying and making our child study. I don't know how to wake him up. I am hoping he picks up on the crazy but he hasn't yet.
