hey y'all.
i just wanted to officially make my debut on https://www.jehovahs-witness.com and introduce myself.
i'm an old jwrer, and it looks like i'll be dropping in on here now for cult updates and friendly conversation.. a little about myself:.
Hello! Glad to see everyone from JWR finding their place on the various forums.
We've seen an uptick of new members over at the EXJW sub-reddit as well. Link
I like both forums, although I try to save my swearing for reddit.
Does anyone know if the old JWR data is archived anywhere? We could find a way to keep it accessible, if only in "read only" form. From the Google cache I see there were at least:
Total posts 377177 • Total topics 24633 • Total members 5096

Ah yes! YouTube comments. There is no "suggestion box" at the KH. There is no comment section of the Borg site. But on YT people can comment on the videos.
Long Live Free Speech!

For one, Watchtower cares. They hate me posting their stuff online. So I keep doing it...
Others here have expressed appreciation as well.

looking at the figures for 2014 to 2015 the numbers have dropped from 180,343 to 176,585.. any idea why?.
i spoke with a bethelite (non-us) last week who says that a 20-25% downsize is coming at their bethel in the fall of 2016. this is in addition to the cutbacks of 2015. more will be sent out 'to the field'..
Yet it seems that they would be increasing numbers there. Strange.
They just published this video to their broadcasting site:
a wonderful announcement to my friends in the forum.
i am no longer one of jehovah's witnesses.
in the month of may 2016 i wrote my resignation letter and gave it to the elders in my congregation.
I'm happy for you COLLINS.
earlier this year it was announced to all congregations that the new silver songbook would ultimately be made of 150 songs, (matching the number of psalms in the bible).
however, they've apparently changed there minds in the last few months, because songs 152-154 were just posted to both jw-org and jw broadcasting.. https://www.jw.org/en/whats-new/.

153 sounds a lot like R.E.M. - Stand
Ha!

two men who changed watchtower history but you never heard of them!
cults are famous for control--especially controlling information about people, places and events which are embarrassing to their self-myths.. especially is this true for two important figures in watchtower history.. .
the first man is william f. hudgings.
