WT is lying about the actual publisher numbers

Is there a surge in "Upwakers"?
by Phizzy inthe stupid word in the topic title is a piss-take on the bloody silly jw word "needgreaters" that i have seen them use.. but my question is genuine, i know it is a cyclical thing, we get what seems to be a lot of newbies, and then things quieten down, but not just on here, elsewhere on social media i am seeing stories of people finding the courage to leave, having woken up for a variety of reasons, but usually the child abuse scandal, and the spiteful, judgmental nature of many jw's, who, though supposedly friends, will run off to the elders to snitch on you, not talk to you.
is their a real increase in those leaving ?
i do hope so, so many more finding real freedom and happiness !.

Smallfoot Movie and Jehovah's Witnesses (or almost any religion)
by AnonVet ini just watched the movie smallfoot not long ago.. i wasn't expecting much, but almost from the start i felt a strong connection to religion, especially jehovah's witnesses.. the premise was about protecting lies for the benefit of the village.
hiding the truth for their own good.. one line in a song stuck me:.
"protect the lie and you protect the village".

Lord, to whom shall we go?
by Lee Elder inonce someone figures out that the watchtower is not a safe place for their family, they come face to face with the question of where they should be.
i don't have the answer for that, but can speak to my personal experience over the past 20 years.. i ended up taking a 12 year break from organized religion, and then read an article about a new group that had formed locally called aldea spiritual community.
after a few visits, i realized that i had found a home among others who were fed up with organized religion.
