Congrats! Hopefully you got removed without creating too much extra stress in your family. I am still a servant and would like to step down in the not too distant future. If you have any pointers, please share them.

Why So Many Young People Are Leaving The Watchtower
by Jeremy C ini have been giving a lot of thought to the young people who are leaving the watchtower organization in recent years.
last night, i was reading the thread posted by jwfacts a while back in which he provided some statistics and graphs showing the rapidly declining growth in the watchtower.
one factor that was discussed at length was the high number of young people who do not stay in the organization.

Great OP! Thanks for BTTTing it toes up. I often wonder if the borg is getting better at keeping kids in recently. I see such a small sample size. Our area has a lot around 12 years old. Very few around 20. But of those around 20 they are seeming to choose the young marriage route over the sample the world route. -

Good Netflix shows to watch
by Simon inin the long winter nights you need some good tv shows to watch while you wait for the eternity between seasons of game of thrones.. we've watched marco polo (pretty good) and have just started watching orange is the new black which is not at all what i imagined (didn't know it was funny!).
house of cards is on the list too as we've heard good things about that.. anyone have any others that are worth seeing?.

No nu-lite needed. Just quit counting. I'm surprised they haven't already done that. Cite the example of David when he wasn't supposed to count his army. (I might be wrong about it being David or an army. But someone in the bible wasn't supposed to count something) -

Surprise ! Surprise ! 2015 Arrives and NO Armageddon or World's " End " - Go Figure
by flipper ini guess 99.9 % of ex-jw's here could have predicted as much .
armageddon didn't happen in 1914. it didn't happen in 1925. it didn't happen in 1975. and it did not happen in 2014. since the wt society first predicted a world's end when their organization started in 1879 - 126 years have passed which according to any dictionary in any human language 126 years comprises of 4 separate generations each totaling 30 years each.
plus 6 years into a 5th generation.

Great post flipper. I didn't live thru "stay alive till 75". But it sounds like it was exciting times in jw land. Stuff is pretty stale now. At least in my area it is. Mostly older folks hoping to see the big A before they die.
