They push and push and push people to their limits and I can't believe something horrific hasn't happened on a mass level. I guess there is a lot that still does happen, just on a smaller scale. The suicides, the abuse inside families, the mental disorders and depression, some of these weird events like the one in Australia or Michigan. I don't want to see people hurt and Jehovah's Witnesses are hurting lots of people. It would be in their best interests to back off, but we know they won't. It's sad. Nobody wins in this stuff.

Have the Kingdom Hall's discontinued using mailboxes?
by longgone inabout one month ago, i sent my disassociation letters out, one was addressed to their headquarters in ny.
(usa) and three were addressed to the kingdom halls in my area.. now the strangest thing has happened, two of the letters that i sent to the local khs were returned to me by the post office labeled "return to sender-no mail recepticle-unable to forward.
" one came last week, and another one today.

They didn't get our letters when we sent them because their address was wrong online. An elder called me and I told him we disassociated. He was blown away and ultimately said they hadn't received anything, but gave me his address and I simply sent copies of the letters to him and was soon announced.
Seems like they have mail issues at times.

I Went To My Brother’s Memorial Service at the Kingdom Hall
by minimus ini have to say that the talk was very good.
instead of just repeating a jw manual , the speaker actually spoke about my brother!
there were a few scriptures with the jw hope but 80 % of the talk was actually about the life of my brother.

I'm glad they made it about your brother Minimus, and that you felt good about it.
A PIMO friend recently went to the memorial of a sister that died. She was very close to this person. The new outline allows for personal comments about the deceased but she wasn't allowed because only people with a penis can speak at such an occasion. Her husband went up and said some general Witness-y things.

"Demons" Living In My Brothers Gym Equipment
by pale.emperor inspoke to my younger brother dan yesterday (he da'd about 6 months ago).
he was telling me that he got a visit from our older brother the day before.
our older brother was raised a jw but never committed, lives a full-on "worldly" life - smokes, binge drinks, hangs out with non-jws, but he's been studying for about 6 years would you believe?.

I thought demons only inhabited stuffed animals.
It's all so stupid. Suddenly your oldest brother is asking elders about purchases of used weights? That's so random. Love your last point about all that dirty used money they're happy to take. Heck, our assembly hall was a church at one point. I remember walking into it with my wife the first time and thinking it was so weird.

How about neither the day nor the hour, so stfu. Or how about 1914,1975, 2014, or those dates in the 1800s. JWs and their stupid dates.

I was trying to point out that you catch more flies with honey than the poison you're drinking in all of these interactions while hoping they are the ones that get sick.
You take one comment and show yourself to be a psycho. Back your ego down and maybe you could hear others when they're trying to reach you in some way. Of course, I'm sure you're not the one that ever needs help, right? You're too busy keeping the world in check with your weak ass rants. None of us are impressed and you seem to want that desperately. I feel sorry for you. You seem so deeply unhappy though a legend in your own mind.
Get.... Over.... Yourself
Oh, and love others, do no harm, and go be happy. ;)

Maybe it went better than expected because there was no hair pulling or anyone being cussed out or threatened. Civil conversation seems to go better in this case than some of your other threads.

Do you want to play with bears? You are now qualified for baptism!
by neat blue dog inat today's wt study about child baptism, someone commented and she pointed to the picture of the little girl playing with her teddy bear.
she said, 'she may be looking at her bear and thinking about getting to play with bears in the new system.
her parents notice this, and they decide since it's real to her she may be ready for baptism.

The original post hurts my stomach. I've always had such a problem with the undue influence and pressure put on these kids to rope them in and screw them over for the next decades of their lives and possibly for the rest of it one way or the other. Either they stay stuck in a cult because they now have too much to lose to leave so they never really allow themselves to look at the realities or they lose everyone they will come to know. The logic that one exhibits in the comment about the teddy bear is the logic that gets your dumb ass in a cult. Anything to make something fit a narrative. Ugh.

What really happened around 1918 when WT leaders were imprisoned?
by dubstepped ini had never thought about this until just now when i saw that nathan natas posted some early tract from rutherford, and it made me think back to what little i could remember of the history i was taught.
i now know that in most cases the dubs will spin stories in their favor.
so i'm now assuming i was told some fictitious story about what happened when the leaders were thrown in prison and things looked bleak for the cult way back when.

@Morpheus - I should also say I think you're right and that the Borg will never go away. Even if it did some other group would fill the vacuum created. People in general want and need something to believe in. I see no mechanism by which this group ever dissolves. If it didn't back then, I don't see it in the future. And lol at the shout out to SBF.
