Actually... I often believe it's the other way around:
Today's apostacy is tomorrow's new light.
I've seen it happen numerous times.

Dansk, one of my favorite posters from when I first joined this site, started a similar thread several years ago.

No one in JW religion has a title that elevates them above others! I did not know this fact!

"are we christians?
we are christians, for the following reasons.

Semantics. It's a game the JWs play very, very well.
The 'titles' are all either brother or sister. Positions and levels of oversite/responsibility vary widely and are near always mentioned when introducing someone. Their 'position' is their their title. And their title is actually an organizational 'rank'.
It's just marketing semantics. Oh!, those silly JWs.

What 'scandals' do you want to expose?
Be specific and we can see what we can help research secular details.
Intellectual dishonesty? (The numerous mis-quotes of others just to suit their position?)
Plaguerism of copyrighted photos?
607 BCE - The fraudulent date?
Mexico/Malawi - The atrocious disparity of how each was handled?
Pedophilia - Known cover-ups within the JW org and the millions that have been paid out already to victims?
Pedophilia - The list kept at JW HQ?
The WTS decade-long affiliation with the UnitedNations?
What specifically do you want us to help you with?

5go outing story continued
by 5go inwell the guy that outed pretty much gloated about it at work i reported him to the boss but i think he has poisoned the well as the boss is borderline acussing me of things.
i am feel like getting an attorney and sorting this out the hard way.
he has been spying for a month according to his own admission.. .

The 'so-and-so is no longer one of jehovah's witnesses' announcement simply eliminates the disclosure if the separation was voluntary or involuntary.
An attorney may be able to stop an announcement from being made.

The door bell rang today
by ABibleStudent injust before i started undressing to take a shower to go to an appointment, the door bell rang.
i thought about not answering the door, but then thought what the hell it could be my neighbor, who is a widow and in her 70's, needing some help.. at the door was a frail man about 85+ years old dressed in a shabby sport coat, shirt, tie, and slacks, and a skinny woman about 75+ years old in a long dress that needed to be ironed.
as i grabbed my dog to prevent him from jumping at the screen door, which was partially open, and beating the couple with his tail and making them fall, i thought what am i going to do.

This thread has inspired me to invite them in if they ever call on me again. I moved 7 years ago and not a single JW visit since then.
@ Clarity - Frozen Thin Mints are the BEST. I also like frozen M&M's, and other little chocolates. But thin mints are best eaten frozen. Try it, you'll be hooked!
