i remember being at the assembly in 1988?
when this was released.
everyone was so excited that we finally had a simple explanation of revelation with pictures.
Sifting through the KM full of new light was really something on the fourth and final time "studying" that book.
Literally cutting and pasting the adjustments into our precious books instead of getting the new and revised soft cover version.
Hey, we had already marked up our previously studied copy.
We weren't about to start all over again.
so the governing body likes to keep claiming incredible growth.
at the same time they claim bible studies are way down.
are the finally admitting what we've known all along, that they can no longer recruit outsiders?
And this begs the question:
How many people "know" that JWs are conducting bible studies with them?
i've been a lurker for quite some time and enjoy the forum.
i've reached a point in life where i don't argue ideologies anymore so i don't have much to say.
i've been out for decades and believe i've been mostly de-cultabilized (if that's even a word).. my family is still in and i haven't had contact with them in years.
I am also looking forward to some of your stories and experiences.
Please stick around!
sister pioneer, always thinking of how to expose false religion and promote true worship, finds out that many mormons are becoming disillusioned with the mormon faith because of the revelations being exposed on the internet.
if it is exposing the mormons, it would help to expose other false religions.she puts two and two together and comes up with a plan.. after the next meeting she asks the boe to meet with her at the back room.. ' with all in attendance brother jorgenson speaks first.... brother jorgenson: ' sister pioneer, this is most unusual but we know you are excited about something.
tell us what is on your mind.
His response would be a little twitch of the lip or eyelid.
He might say "come again"? or "Pardon me"? if he has the strength...
ok, so, brother morris seems to have gone out on a limb with his comments about tight pants.
yup, he's an opinionated man.
but, i fully expect that there will be some reference to the scientific wisdom behind his words.
Nice little chuckle this thread provided.
thankfully my parents are converts so they aren't wierd.
seemed pretty popular by all accounts.
they are "popular" jws even now.
I absolutely agree that a good number of weirdos exist in every hall.
I can remember so many.

Growing like never before, eh?
Just like the lead up to 1975? Not likely.
i've heard it mentioned a few times.. the rotating earth graphic in the background on jwtv rotates backwards.. i've mentioned it to the active and they are not concerned at all.. my response is, "it's something they are portraying that cannot be more wrong".. .
two gb members have stood in front of it telling us to trust them.
how can you when they think the sun rises in the west.... .
Like I said earlier, it's the view from Jehovah's Celestial Chariot™, so of course, we're all wrong!!
too tight pants by mentally diseased.
(with thanks to baggy trousers by madness).
too tight pants in kingdom halls.
Is this real life?!?
man that is hilarious
there are a lot of jws who will never hear about the molestation issues the wt has because all their friends on social media are fellow cult members.. what i'm going to attempt is to create a profile for an alter ego.
it will have a profile pic and banner that says "jw.org" or some other pro-jw nonsense.. then i will attempt to befriend a jw.
when one bites and accepts me the others will fall like dominoes and also accept my friendship.. at first i will post pro-jw things that will get me "likes", subscribers, and promotions in their news feed.. then i will lower the boom by posting the recent news video from the texas molestation story.
Amazing
