i know of several examples of ones that "left the truth" for up to 20 years, only to suffer through the reinstatement process and feel like they are finally back on track.. how does this happen?.
i personally know of one example where a father of three, leaves jws, abandons wife and family, lives as a gay man then comes back 20 years later as a partaking member of the anointed..
Thanks for the responses.
Another type of person I see is the one that has been in for 20 or more years that still do the bare minimum. Never reach out, skip most talks, barely report time or they go inactive for months at a time.
They attend all the meetings and assemblies, will "stand up for Jee-ho-vah" every time but they are sloths. Everyone knows, especially them. How do you be that person?

i seldom hear of people getting df'd anymore.
years ago it seemed there were a few per year in a congregation.
Something happened in my area nearly 20 years ago.
People were getting DF'd every meeting for 6 weeks in a row.
It was really unerving. seems like 20ish people were involved.
about 50/50 DF to reproved.
I never really got to the bottom of the "wrongdoing".
I seem to remember gossip about satanism/witchcraft being whispered and quickly ignored...
Very few came back to "the truth".
I agree, people "in" want to be there for the most part. They will leave first, instead getting DF'd.
That's what I did.
great report by abc on the abuses in jw-dot-org land.... i hope it opens a "floodgate" of future news reports and exposes.
if you ask yourself, "why hasn't the watchtower leadership changed their policy on the 2 witness rule?
if one or more persons on the gb has victims out there that can't come forward because of the 2 witness rule, then that would explain the permanent road block to policy change that is obviously in place.
This type of reality could trigger mass suicide among the congregations.
Not joking. The mind control has so many people in it's grasp. Generations of families controlled.
i don't know how many of you still participate in the sunday wt study, but i unfortunately still do.
even though i was asleep half of the time, i did notice something i thought i should share with the rest, in case you haven't noticed.
a lot of the paragraphs were worded strongly against partaking and used clear language of intimidation and discouragement toward anyone thinking of partaking.
I'm sure they are an "overlapping 144,000".
From 33 to 1995 is the first 144,000.
Oct of 1996 the second 144,000 began partaking.
there's this elder in my hall.
in his comments and talks, he loves to include the kind of details that would leave listeners wondering who his comment/talk is about.
he seems to see himself as a jw behaviour expert and drops titbits whenever he's behind the mic.
hey guys,.
so, it seems the hall i used to attend before my latest one got to hearing that i "disappeared".
so today, i went to the post office to pick up a package.... i decided to try to face reality and open it... what i found were multiple letters and wrapped gifts.
There's no way I could resist to at least start reading the cards.
I think this is a very rare occurrence.
...i mean scriptures.. .
wow, how did i miss this.. open up you examining the scriptures daily ( "daily text" ).
the booklet is about 80% watchtower comments.
I'm finding it to be a rather neutral occasional topic with my wife, as in once or twice a month or less.
These last couple of days have been especially maddening from my point of view.
( Who am I fooling, every single day's text contains strong cult-speak. )
Which is very sad.

...if you meditate on jehovah , talk to jehovah, and all you know about jehovah comes from the wt magazines, your mind is controlled.
Thank you for that.
I'm glad I didn't read the "daily text/WT" everyday or I still might be in.
I just glanced at today's "text".
First sentence is pure brainwashing cult speak:
"Our worship involves expending our time, energy, and material possessions to the fullest extent possible".
Yep, it's Governing Body worship. Dammit! How did we all miss this?
Tough to see the light of day when you are face down...
