org is dying

i don't understand why so many ex jws and faders think that the jws will continue to grow and thrive as a religion.

i still attend a meeting once a week and you can smell the death of the religion creeping up when you hear the talks, read the study wts and hear the letters from the gb.

the way the organization has changed is a sign that it reached its peak (in "healthy" membership) long ago.

Your final WTF? Moment!

it was a long time coming for me.....when i read about the extened generations, after being raised on1914 being the be all end all, and millions would never die....that was the end.

i was part of the 1975 fiasco, the 6 month only truth book studies, suffered through a disifellowshipping and their version of a rewind.

i finally am free and hope others can eventually look in instead of inside looking out!

List of Trademark Applications made by the Watchtower (JW.ORG was Refused!)
by Wild_Thing in

2. scandals
tl;dr: jw.org and jw library is not trademarked because the us patent office keeps refusing their application.

i don't think either will ever be trademarked, as their design currently stands.

jw rank & file can make all the cheap promotional crap they want and the watchtower can't do a thing about it (legally anyway.).

Ensure that you dont appear to be Negative , Unhappy or Bitter
by stuckinarut2 in
1. jw
2. experiences
just a quick thought.... we know that the org loves to paint all those who fade or leave as "negative, bitter and unhappy"...because of course "the truth is the happiest way to live".

so, never allow ourselves to be that way when talking with witnesses, or family members still in.. show them that we are happy, our lives are fulfilled and positive.. then they have no ammunition.

also, it helps other doubters to see that there is life in the world beyond the org..
