if you are willing to pay attention to the org's history and do any kind of unbiased personal research, it's impossible to miss ttatt.. watchtower's publication archive provides all the information anyone would ever need.where are all of the "half truths and outright lies" actually coming from?
( old light ).
why, oh why, back in 1989 when i first got hooked did i not do any research into the watchtower corporation?.
There is an older JW lady, 40 years a pioneer or some craziness, that was so eager about NuLite she would anticipate it before all the assemblies, conventions, new releases and even the latest WT mags.
She was always looking. This is super crazy, because if you have the truth, why would you always want it to be revised?!?
"I hope there is new light". Translation: I hope we get to further our group apostasy.
WOW!
the internet is the archive for civilization.. watchtower cannot hide it's history.. are we seeing the beginning of a mass exodus out of her?.
The halt of work at various branches, printing and construction should say something LOUD and CLEAR.
Things aren't speeding up. The Chariot is in PARK.
Still-in JWs will wonder "where has the sense of urgency has gone?"
Overlapping generation puts "Harm-you-gettin' " off for years.
Everyone is "still in this old system" and older ones are dying off. ( we weren't even supposed to grow old in "this system" ) YUCK!
It's only the fear of shunning that holds them captive.
It would be hilarious if the GB came up with some NuLite that dropped the shunning decree thinking of the "love" that would be heaped upon them, only to see the sheep scatter...
Hey? Where'd everybody go?
why the anticipation?.
"no one knows the day or hour", i thought?.
i knew this very mentally unstable jw woman years ago.
The surprise is not quite realized by the JW masses.
There is big trouble in HQ.
The GB are struggling to keep the ORG afloat without tipping their hand that Jah is not their friend...
Imagine that, Jehovah is not the Governing Body's friend.
He's apparently withdrawing financial support due to lack of... Discretion.

I really think the ORG is in financial free fall.
As soon as the KH's hit the market and start selling, "Then we will know"...
the more specific the better :) here are mine:.
i predict that within the next two to three years (2017-2018) we will start seeing negative numbers in growth.. i predict that within the next thirteen to fifteen years (2027-2030) the number of jws will be less than 4million.. and i predict that by the time the first person sets foot on mars there will already have been a major split in the organization with either one of the gb or a branch overseer starting a new religion..
I suspect something VERY big will take place among the GB.
Geoffrey Jackson gets DF'd for apostasy. ( his AUS RC testimony )
I have more details, that I don't feel like sharing at the moment. Just premonitions.
hi my name is graham (but i much prefer to be called grags), i'm a 38 year old married man from the uk and have been studying with the witnesses for about 3 months.
i do a study every saturday and love every minute.
in john 6: 16-24 jesus's disciples get onto a boat without jesus and set off.
Come back when they don't answer the questions you have about their problem with pedophiles within the organization and the lawsuits forthcoming.
I'm an "apostate"...
back in 1991, a young brother maybe 18 years old living next to my place committed suicide.
his father expected him to be very zealous just like he was, but the son never wanted to be like that.
he was always controlled by his father.
I've personally known two JWs that have killed themselves.
Back in the late 80's when I first joined up, a young lady in her early twenties used a shotgun while sitting in her car. It made no sense at the time. We spent time with her and her husband on fishing/camping trips. She was not yet baptized. Her husband ( widower ) never spoke of it and later would move to Alaska.
Recently while we were at the last Tahoe meet-up we got word that a JW man in his 30s overdosed on pain meds. He had been abusing them for quite some time while desperately attempting to pioneer or reach for MS.
dear anthony morris, iii:.
i wanted to send you a note of "thanks" on this special day.. why is this day special, you may ask?
one year ago today, you, tony, woke me up to the fact that the governing body could not have jehovah's blessing or direction.. last year, on november 8th & 9th, 2014, the united states branch visit was broadcast to over 1,000,000 jehovah's witnesses across the country.. as i sat at the kingdom hall listening to the "historic occasion," i was ignoring certain doubts that had surfaced in the few months prior.
Thanks for the reminder. A year already. Amazing.
The big question is: Can he top it? Will he be able to control himself NOT to?
These guys had it so much better when they were more of a "secret society".
Now we can all see for ourselves what lurks behind the curtain!
Filthy cult leaders.
when i left the watchtower i realised it was best to put friendships on hold.
however i mentioned to my best friend that i didn't agree with how they handled child abuse issues and that was one of the reasons i left.. anyway as i am fortunate and own two rental apartments and he is a plumber so we have kept in contact, in that i email him when i require his services and he sends me the invoice.
anyway i am now dissociated, but yesterday i emailed him about a pluming problem, and he replied.. " sorry we missed going to the indian ( this was a comment made about us having a meal together about 9 months ago, which i backed out of because i felt he was too indoctrinated and i had not disassociated myself) anyway his email continued:-.
Give him plenty of space and time, it's not like an "exJW armageddon" is coming tomorrow and he'll be destroyed if he's still in the cult.
This is very useful in my mind. Yes!!
is prince still a jehovah witness?
from the look of his new album, i think he has different ideas.
it will be interesting to see how they deal with this.
"...then he served us pancakes."
