13 year anniversary
by gerry intoday marks 13 years since my wife and i have stepped inside a kingdom hall.
after 29 years full on being a jw and a number of years serving as an elder then as the presiding overseer we pulled the plug.
yes 13 years ago coming home from the first day of a circuit assembly i said to my wife “that’s it i am not going back”.

From yesterday WT, don't have kids and if you do then don't see them often nor the grandkids either
by purrpurr inunbelievable paragraph in yesterday's watchtower was "encouraging" the sheep to not have kids.
most of their growth comes from the born ins and they are still on about not having kids?.
then it went on to "encourage" those that do have kids or grandkids not to spend to much time with them and instead to spend their time serving kingdom interests!.

Is it Time to Declare that The Great Tribulation Has Started ?
by OnTheWayOut ini don't really engage in doctrinal discussions about jw's anymore.
they seem to say some pretty crazy stuff.
but i have read some threads discussing doctrinal changes and how watchtower is really out of ideas and money at the same time.

1972-1975, 1983-1988, 1996-2001, present time fear mongering all over again.
This new great hype means nothing to us old JWs who've lived through previous great hypes. We're not even talking about the nonsense, carrying on with life and ignoring the whole thing altogether.

JWs exist because...
by oldskool inone sentence answers only.. here's mine:.
jws exist because people want an escape from the modern world and are willing to give up intellectual freedom to get it..

Also, because the 'alternative' is not that nice or attractive.
Believe me, I did in my youth try to walk away from this religion, but the awful behavior of non-JWs made me return to what I was accustomed; the "nothing is wrong as long as you're not harming anyone" attitudes and "anything goes/do not judge" way of life... I just couldn't handle it.
Ultimately, do not think I can today either. Here's is comfy and nice, so I'll stay, even with all my opposing views.

JWs aren't stupid
by cognisonance inthe title is a bit of click bait.
but here's the alternative title: what stupid beliefs/ideas did you have while an active jw.. i think the majority of jws that don't have obvious mental health issues are not stupid, just un/under-educated.
for example, i now accept evolution as a thing, not a controversy or conjecture.

JWs, as any other group conglomerate, contain all types. They simply have beliefs we do not agree with, or refuse to follow.
Dumb/stupid? It's open to interpretation. They sure can rationalize their beliefs in very crafty ways.

Did anyone see news story on clickondetroit
by poopie init's about disfellowshipping clickondetroit.

Yes to all you said BSoM, yes, but disfellowshipping is the JW way and it's horrible; it is not changing anytime soon.
Reason why is very important to create a reliable 'other' network prior to walking away from the JW network.

what sort of reactions have you gotten when talking to other jw when telling them the "truth about the truth"?
by AmIright inits funny ive read some stories on here about how they have become so infuriated by what logic dictates as being true and their own denying of it because it completely screws up their belief and shows how hypocritical it is xd some look like a nuclear reactor about to blow xd.
share you experiences here :) .

I've made small comments here and there in social settings, about the correlation between infant baptism and our young kids being baptized; the protection of abusers physical/sexual by not turning them to authorities or notifying the congregation of these undesirables moving among us, the 'always a deficit' at the assemblies, etc.
All I get is crickets and then a change of subject. I sense looks and comments of disapproval about the subjects and an insinuation not to talk about this anymore.
Because of the love and respect I feel for my wonderful husband, I decided as of yesterday not to bring up any contradictory subject up again. He is quite prominent/popular/loved among Spanish JWs here and very happy in his life, so I do not want to cause him any further grief.

To answer the subject question....,
Are you kidding? What great tribulation? We're living large here in the States!
The past RC is nothing more than fear tactics to stop/slowdown the profuse bleed the WTBTS is experiencing due to people waking up to their bull shit.
