  WTS Has Lost +35% of Elders in US Since 1994????

  by Seeker4 in

  1. jw

  zack, on another thread, said he heard this figure from the platform at both the 2006 elders' school and his recent pioneer school:.

  that there were 93,000 elders in 1994, and less than 60,000 today, in the united states.. i thought these figures deserved their own thread, as they are shocking to me, and to see if anyone else has heard anything similar.. i'll post a link to the other thread as well.

  How can elders with a "real heart" and "conscience" remain an elder when they know their flock is suffering? They know all the "real crap" the WTBS is all about.

  They still want to be elders but HOW can they do this and remain "sane in mind"?

  Just my views as a grown woman, ultimatley dedicated (not to an org but to real truth) but figured out the real truth(tm).

  My JW elderly aunt just called me..........

  by Mulan in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  she lives thousands of miles away from me, and called me now to tell me how much she loves me and misses me, and she started crying, and could hardly get out the words, about the wt study for tomorrow.

  she begged me to go to the meeting and hear the information, so i compromised with her and told her i would get a copy of the magazine and read it.. i felt so badly for her.

  we were always very close, and her daughter, my late cousin sharon, who died in 2001, was my closest friend in my life.

  Mulan..

  That is possibly her life...the JW's.......and I do think she loves you. She is up in years......nothing wrong with playing with reading the WT...they are much too old to change (like NOdenial's dad)...why take her hope away?

  Reassure her you LOVE Her...maybe at her old age she just needs that. I am sure at her congregation she is NOT getting the real love she needs. It's all so sad.

  I wished my MOM never heard of JW"s (she died when I was 14 and my life is full of no relatives now...and empty)...and my life would be more sane. But showing your aunt you love her unconditionally is what she needs.

  My Wife Just Left Me Because of the Evil Watchtower

  by rassillon in

  2. friends

  this is very difficult to write because i am crying.

  i am normally not the kind of person you will ever see cry because things don't affect me that much but this has got to be the hardest things i have ever went through.. i just got through discussing with my wife my feelings.

  i guess it has been hard to hid some of the things that i have felt since i have learned that many of the wt teachings are false.

  I am so sorry

  Maybe her time away will remind her of your love for her....and that no religion should ever come between you.

  Otherwise Engaged...

  by LittleToe in

  2. relationships

  just a little breaking news:.

  after several years of a great friendship with diane (previously posted as xena) things have started to really come together recently and i've succumbed to making an honest woman of her (or at least as honest as it's possible to make her.

  last night (xmas day) i popped the question and she agreed to marry me (i wonder if she knows what she's let herself in for!!!)..

  Xena: Is your avatar the photo of the engagement ring? If so, it's beautiful!!!

  Lt. Toe and Xena, have you set a wedding date? Are you having a big wedding and reception? (just asking out of excitement you know!)

  Lt. Toe, your comment about your both coming from double digits marriages and knowing what you will and will not tolerate is NOdenial and my sentiment as well. We both came from a double digit marriage....

  Congrats again you both of you

  Please say hello to my wife.

  by nicolaou in

  i've been posting here for quite a long time, so long in fact that it just doesn't feel right that my wife isn't a part of it.

  earlier today i created an account for her with the username heron, she'll know why.

  i'm not sure if my wife will ever post here but i would feel much more comfortable knowing she is aware that i do.. this is the one post i am going to ask her to read.. so, i'd really appreciate it if you could say hello to my lovely wife.

  Welcome Heron

  You will enjoy this board, as most of us have experienced what you have and as for me, it was a relief to know that I wasn't "alone" in my feelings.

  I was raised a JW. Due to moving around a bit, I experienced lack of brotherly love, even being spiritually abused by elders on our welcoming visit the last time we relocated.. Jesus said you would know his brothers by the LOVE they show.

  I will enjoy seeing you post and getting to know you!

  What really made you exit the Jw's

  by KAYTEE in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know its a question that has been asked a thousand times, but what really made you exit the jws .. for instance, my wife and i, having found out about the u.n., 607bce, failed prophecies etc.

  gave all this information to my wifes brother, along with many so called friends.

  we came out but the brother and friends stayed in.. the only reasoning i can put on it, is that we made an effort to find out for ourselves what was the real truth, the others were told and given written evidence - but still didnt make a decision.

  Lack of love and spiritual abuse by the elders.

  Also, finding out the WTBS hides pedophiles.......
