Crisis of Confidence...GB vs. Legal/Support
by Momma-Tossed-Me inthere is a division of confidence amoung the above two bodies.. the gb feels it has no need to worry since they have god's spirit.. the legal/support departments see the writing on the wall or the reality inwhich we live.. someone has to balance this between the two parties inorder to maintain the stability of the wtbts.. it appears at this time the support staff is winning by using the facts concerning the lack of liquidity that the org is experiencing now.. at some point the staff will have to deliver the bad news to the gb that they can no longer cover up the loss of adherents.. hopefully some time soon.. mtm.

Do you wear your mark proudly....
by Momma-Tossed-Me inat times in histroy the ruling classes have used marking or tatooing as a mark to notify the public of how to respond or be warned with regard to the individual bearing the mark.. in some cultures this marking practice has caused more problems than it solved.
these individuals have banded together and gained influence among the populace, some for good purpose, some for bad.. i would like to think that our collective purpose is good.
our purpose should be educational, informing those who are in, and out, that this organization has lost god's approval if it ever had it at all.. inorder to do that we must not shrink away from those who are in when we see them in public.

Theocratic Warfare is easier with the advent of cyber warfare.
by Momma-Tossed-Me inwith the advent of cyberwarfare on the rise among nations with little to no reprecussions because of the hidden nature of the enemy the wtbts should be building an aresonol of software.
surely they are doing this to combat enemies of the true religion.

WTBTS do no wrong in the eyes of believers?
by Momma-Tossed-Me inthe wtbts has enjoyed a well insulated capsule of people for a long time.
the amount of adherents that left was minimal because of the thick wall of fear.
they are riding on a sharp edge that with one great movement one way or the other could ruptre and cause great hemmoraghing.

People leave the Org but don't drop the doctrine?
by Momma-Tossed-Me inthis deserved its own thread.
one thing i have observed being able to speak freely to individuals now about the wtbts is that even though they fade, they hold one to all or a portion of the doctrine.. if you examine the doctrine openly and fully you will see it has as many holes in it as the org does.
although it may appeal to you it doesn't make it sound scripturally.

MTM Experiences
by Momma-Tossed-Me inif witnesses could only feel the freedom to speak their minds, what would they say?.
well, being fully free from the org via my ex-communication really allows me to engage in conversations with members who allow me to do so.. what i have found interesting in every conversation is this common phrase, "you know (looking down their nose at me) the truth.
you know that the information is correct so imperfect organization or not this is jehovah's chosen organization.

Anxiety attacks and Door to Door Activity...what have you observed?
by Momma-Tossed-Me induring door to door activity in the distant past i have had the experience of witnessing actual anxiety attacks of jw's who could not handle that required preaching on that day and on more than one occasion.. this is what i have seen on multiple occassions.. extreme headaches, upset stomach to the point of vomiting, visible trembling before even approaching the door, arguments with spouses and children, signs of elevated blood pressure, light sensitiity, a total character change, and basicly a complete shut down to the point of limited communication.
yes we all have butterflies in the stomach associated with certain activities but what i am talking about here bodily affliction to the point of physically affecting the individual in some cases for the rest of the day.. these symptoms are obviously present for some newbie to this type of activity but i have observed this from people who have been exposed to this type of work for years.
i think the body just cannot handle the stress anymore, and the marination in the hormones associated with it.

LETTER TO THE ELDERS...Hot off the press!
by Momma-Tossed-Me inwill post as soon as i get a clearer copy!.
but in a word it says, "in an effort to not place a burden beyond what our brother's can bare the governing body has decided to make the tuesday night theocratic ministry school, service meeting, and bookstudy optional.
this new change will relieve financial pressure on the congregation and allow them to put our efforts and valuable things toward the work we are scripturally required to do.".

The Best Way of Life....why it is not
by Momma-Tossed-Me ina lot of us have heard the first half of the above title at one time or another.
some could argue that even if the doctrine is wrong the comaradery and fellowship of the group fosters good family life and friendship.
clubs offer a certain sense of entilement which makes one feel wanted and part of something greater than themselves.. why is this not an acceptable argument with regards to jehovah's witnesses?.
