according to one source on a western european 'apostate' website, the org's plan is to abandon the name "jehovah's witnesses" in the future, and replace it with "worshippers of jehovah.".

the gist of the account appears to be a repeat of rutherford's re-branding and debunking of old predictions made by the previous shower of fakers.
Kind of like the godawful home contractor who ripped us off, then he packed up and scurried off to another state, started up under a new business name, and beat the law suits filed against the old company! We were told we couldn't sue the new name, and the former business had closed.
Yep, I can see them pulling this ruse. Conniving dirt bags, where are the fruitages of the spirit, and a little bit of integrity?
this df persons walks up to the cood and says i would like to give you my reinstatement letter because i have been attending meetings here ,the cood says do not give me that letter i need to observe you first then you can rurn in letter i ask my friend is that something new?
the person only wants to return because they want to speak to there mother and father and siblings so thats the resl reason but now they have to sit and wait for this elder to observe them what hypocrites.
whats worse than being an adult jw?
when i was a kid i always had a bad concience all the time.
i believed i would not survive armageddon for the fact that i didn't like going to service and i didnt like going to the meetings.
It was miserable. My grandma died when I was five from not taking a blood transfusion. Then I started school and was constantly humiliated during holiday times, such as when kids gave me Valentines and I had nothing to give them in return. I excelled in some classes and won awards, but my parents refused to come to awards night. It was a minor miracle I did well in school, since I was kept out late on meeting nights due to some dipsh*t always calling an elders meeting. I did homework as late as eleven PM under the Kingdumb Hell parking lights.
Then came the terrifying nightmares, of persecution, torture and what I called my "demon dreams." They were so frightening and vivid. I laid frozen in fear on meeting nights.
When I became a teenager, my father would inspect me before I could get in the car for the meeting, was my skirt too short, were my shoes scuffed at all, did I have a run in my panty hose? l had to set the example and make my dad look good. I was an only child, so there was nobody to play with or talk to. I became a loner (and still am) and developed trouble with my self esteem. The stress led to anorexia and my weight dropped to 98 lbs because I stopped eating.
This didn't mean I got to stay home from meetings, even when the panic attacks started.
Needless to say, I moved out to my own apartment the minute I was able. Saddest thing is, my parents still cannot figure out why I stopped going to meetings. My mother started in about it recently, and I reminded her the stress of those meetings nearly killed me, so why would I put myself through that again?
background information.
i myself am in full fade mode with an overly active jw wife, who refuses to discuss any point whatsoever.
a friend who is not a jw nor has ever been a jw; he studied for a few months, then realized what an evil cult it is and stopped.

I just signed it. I put in the comments that I personally knew of a (married ministerial servant) raping an underage 15 year old sister. I was groomed by an elderly brother myself, until my father finally got a clue and nipped it in the bud. I was also touched inappropriately by an elder at a pool party.
I'm excited to see this take off! I used my name, too, because I'm so angry about what happened in our Hall. Sure, it was years ago, but it's only gotten worse. Enough already!
in short:- tight pants is no longer just a am3 hang up (or is that a hang up on the well hung?
)- brothers who have effeminate body language are flagged up- as are sisters with 'masculine' hair styles or dress- such dress is 'disturbing to the congregation'- the above must heed the (repeated) counsel from the elders...or they get stripped of the right to share on the ministry- however...this will not be revealed (announced) to the congregation.
wow.
so i sat thru another brain mushing session for the sake of family.
it is no myth by now that the more time you spend awake the harder it is the accept that people just take all of this in without asking.
a computer has more reasoning abilities than your average jw at this point.
at my mom's bed side all i see is either jw family or friends making a concerted effort to have me return to their fold.
evidentlyy, my mom has encouraged this and i'm a trapped prisoner, as they do their best to have me come back.
it's bad enough that i have to endure my mom's dying, now i have to be bombarded with this bs..
so my wife and i were curious so i researched some financial links and found records indicating that the wt society has been operating at a loss since the year 2012. as you read the links it shows a loss of 10 million $$$ in 2012, about 16 million $$$ in 2013, and a whopping loss of 56 million $$$ in 2014 - where the expenditures exceeded the revenues for each of those years in the amount i've mentioned.
also there is a link on this same website with the sec records indicating that the wt society and it's representatives funneled 40 million $$$$ into hedge funds in the cayman islands as early as 2007. if you look online on other sites you can see evidence that indicates the wt society attended hedge fund conferences to look into more shadiness in 2011 and isn't it curious that by 2012 the wt society started showing losses.
anyway here is the link : https://www.watchtowerlies.com/the_watchtower_revenue.html .. feel free to check this link out and other links on that link indicating the cayman island connection.
My head is spinning, trying to analyse this. Great work, flipper! Are they really losing money, or hiding what they really have, to appear they're struggling so they can claim they can't pay any more victims?
Ha, John Aquila, they're spirit guided, by Jim Beam, don't you know.
Hopefully someone with a good financial base can interpret this for us! I'm a retired postal supervisor and this reminds me of the USPS, constantly claiming a loss for the fiscal year, but in reality hiding the profits they made.
i would get home from work,eat dinner,shower and put on jeans,a shirt and gym shoes to the book study.
then,one day a letter was read where men would need to wear a suit and tie and the woman would have to wear dresses.
it was stated in a letter that the change was due to, '' giving a better witness to anyone who would watch us walking into our local congregation or a neighbor's house.''.
