Maybe they will blow their own trumpet on how JW.ORG is being blessed by "Jehovah" and encourage zombies in the congregation to continue pushing it.

Mental Disorders among JW's
by Blackfalcon98 inhi everyone, im begining to notice patterns of mental issues in the congregations and among the witnesses as a group.
do you think this is a trend in the entire world or is it exagerated in this organization?.

Nothing new. Half of the body of elders where i served were on Prozac as were many others in the congregation.
Don't know the % whether it's higher than the common population but for being the " happiest people on earth"
don't have much to show for it.

You can't argue, you have no argument. He believes and you don't.
Don't say anything against the watchtower because he might be the type to push for DF.
Often when i'm talking to JW i just tell them i don't believe the bible anymore...that's it...conversation ends and there is no argument.

The elders are going to remind you to make more meetings and do more preaching so that things like that will not happen to you.
Meetings, preaching and prayer is the solution to everything according to them.

Could it be the number of jw under 5 million?
by Crazyguy ini was thinking about this last night, in the year book they publish the number or peak and average publishers.
as we know a publisher could simply be a child getting out in service regularly.
if two parents baptized have to small children that are publishers then they are counted as four.

8 million JW's ...not much considering they have been around for 140 years and knocking on doors and preaching that long.
Hardly any witnesses in China, Russia,India, Middle East.
So really they they have not much to brag about and it will get worse as old timers will start dyin off at greater numbers.

I need some input: I have come to the conclusion my wife blames me for her lack of spirituality
by goingthruthemotions inso lately my wife and i have been arguing alot.
not big arguments...but more of a bickering.. you see, over the last year i have stepped down as an ms and we moved halls.
last november was around the time i woke.. during this time we still have family studies....but only from the bible.

Of course she blames you...that's what wives do in the "truth" you are the spiritual head and if things are not right or going well the finger is pointed at you and somehow they start feeling they don't have Jehovah's blessing because once again you do not take the truth seriously.
Don't have the answer for you, i went through the same thing and ended up in divorce after 26 years.
Good luck and wish you the best.

GB Doesnt Believe in 1914 Anymore My reasoning
by thedepressedsoul ini have heard a lot of talk over the last year or so if the gb will eventually ditch 1914 and some have even made the claim that most, if not all of the gb do not believe in 1914. ive given this some thought and in the past i wasnt sure.
this annual meeting puts 100%, without a doubt in my mind that the gb do not believe in 1914. id even go as far to say that they talked about that date and have a game plan in mind.. here is why i feel this way:.
there were a lot of changes with the parables at this annual meeting.

I believe that GB knows most of their teaching are not bible based and they live in a fantasy world and down deep they know they are just another religion with its own interpretation and that "Jehovah God " has nothing to do with them.
In due time they will eliminate the blood doctrines and maybe even the knocking on doors in order to be accepted...
Mormons have been doing that for a long time, their prophet continues to get " New Rvelations".

My appeal was successful. Now what?
by noonehome infaders: why do we bother staying in?.
we cling to some false hope that people we love will accept us despite our not believing, even though its as much a fairytale as the dogmas based on untruths.. ive never been anything but a good friend and human being and would do anything for the people i love; i couldnt dream of shutting out someone i care about.
and its not like theyd revel in the idea of doing it either, yet its seen as not just the only choice, but also as undoubtedly the right thing to do.

Deny,deny,deny and slowly fade away.
Personally i would not get DF if you still have family in.

That's the book that blew my mind in 70s. It made me feel that the society had all the details about the future and was being used by the creator to reveal the truth to mankind.
Got sucked in in 75 and in four month after the start of the bible study made a decision to get baptized.
32 years later realized the "truth" was nothing but a load of crap.

Lived in Franklin TN and had them over for dinner quite a few times. Very loving couple.
I wonder if someone calls Bethel and ask about them and whether they would give out that information where they might be!
