I experienced one of those sort of memorial talks at the Hall I attended. I have to admit it was intense. It was not child friendly. The speaker is inactive now, I guess it didn't have much of an impact on his faith.

Remark at memorial about growing annointed numbers
by Gorbatchov indon’t know if it was part of the script.. at the memorial the remark about growing annointed numbers including this numbers from 2015 to 2017 was made (from 13.000 to 18.000+).. reason for the growing numbers could be:.
- feeling annointed because of former believe.
- psychical reasons.

Magic numbers, 144,000 etc. Its a house of cards ready to crash again as it did in 1914 when the big "A" didn't occur and many left. Its like waves going in and out. 1918, 1925, 1948, 1975, 1986, 2000 and on and on. This magic number was supposed to fade to nothing. Now it grows every year. Something isn't right. Oh, that's right, the cult is wrong again.

Sorry, but all you have invested in this relationship for the last year is about to go poof! He has a recurring cancer of a religion which is growing in his mind and about to kill any loyalty to you. You do not want any part of this cult. Any kids you have together would be subject to a life of exclusion and loneliness. If he returns to the cult he would likely dump you. Just end it. This has played out a thousand times. Learn from others and spare yourself further hurt.

Isn't it amazing the agonizing that takes place, all in the mind I might add, when you choose intellectual honesty? Good use of the mind my fellow refugee of the mental cage that WT is.

The implement of Christ’s death
by lastmanstanding insimple physics.. the timber that was used to execute jesus had to be substantial.
thus, its weight could not have been carried entirely, but rather it had to be dragged.. get a log with no crosspiece, one substantial enough to nail a man to, and try to drag it through town.
try to get a hold of it without it sliding out of your grip.

Roll Call for the benefit of Newbies and Lurkers. In One Sentence tell why you left the Org. Not 2 sentences. JUST ONE. Then patterns will start to form and perhaps people will see how many others are of like mind on a subject. Don't be afraid to agree with someone. Just note... Same reason as "so and so". Perhaps you instead may say, disfellowshipped for using my brain. lol
My sentence:
I researched the flip flops on doctrine and came away disgusted, losing faith that the GB was being directed by God.

A book by JW
by Catcat ini bought a book that was published by one brother in our area.
the title, if only, the brother didnt change his name he is, alex bogdanov, to support this brother i bought his book.
it is fiction about couples and i didnt think nothing of it, but after reading a few chapters one of the characters is an ex jw, i don’t think this character is disfellowshipped in the book, but she is definitely not active.

How the hell old are you Catcat? Welcome to the forum, but start using that noggin of yours. Reason it out. This will help you in many aspects of life. If a book questions the Society in any way you could say its "doubting." Is the doubting malicious or sincere? Either way in WT world its apostasy. Good luck getting that thinker in gear.

So a religion based on a book by another religion?
by TTWSYF inso does anyone else find it odd that jws base their whole faith on the bible?.
the bible was never in the plan for christianity.
the apostles spread the good news as they were instructed to by christ jesus .

The JW's Got More than what They Bargained For!
by Atlantis intheir research showed them that the two witness rule doesn't always apply.
older publications gave them something to think about!.
the watchtower society encourages jehovah's witnesses to read,examine, and learn from their older publications.examples:--------------------------------------watchtower/1999/10/1/pg.23"one day in about october 1941, while i was witnessing in themarketplace, someone spoke about a witness of jehovah who lived in anearby town.

Questioning why the BS is stacked one way instead of another is futile. Maybe some poor witness will see and open their eyes but I kind of doubt it. Russell has been deposed and is therefore irrelevant.
