  I read Combating Cult Mind Control the new edition, this edition does mention JWs several time. And I do agree with 3rdged comment " helps you to forgive yourself and others for being duped into the cult".

  "i recently saw something while looking through the jw broadcasting for the month of may and i though about you.

  I do not think they will come around, them coming round to visit will cause them and the congregation more harm than good and they know it. I am not propagating apostate thoughs to the congregation members, so if they do come around, I will start to do that and they know it. I think they will wait until the next CO visit and ask for instructions as they cannot think for themselves on this matter.

  Our society (I do not mean the bOrg) only functions as long as we agree to it, even criminals agree to the system otherwise prisons and punishments would not work, civil disobedience is a very difficult thing for any governmental organization to deal with. Likewise the bOrg has difficulty with all apostates, which I am proud to be one, as we do not play by their rules. They expect its members to be honest, and those who stray also to be honest. I have no problems using their tactics against them, such as, half truths, lies (something I do find difficult to do) and outright deception. If they do come round I guess I will have fantastic time with all the knowledge I have gained from all the great people on this site; and then I will post another request for suggestions.

  So this is what I wrote to him:

  Thank you very much brother ...,

  I could only watch 26 minutes, because I could no longer listed to Brother Letts begging for money.

  I have just one question.

  Every congregation issues a monthly financial statement, which I think is good. Why does the Organization never issue a financial statement?

  I doubt very much that I will receive an answer, but if I do I will let you know.

  THIS IS WHAT WITNESSING HAS BEEN REDUCED TO IN 2015

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  threads on the newer jw face of public "witnessing" have shared in common the astonishment that jws safely park themselves behind their literature trolleys and exercise incredibly little contact with passersby.

  whether the poster is talking about europe or the united states or australia, descriptions here are the same.. literature stands are protective sheilds behind which jws huddle, talking to each other, sipping on their espressos, whilst the disinterested world passes by.

  neither the jws nor the passersby catch each others eyes.

  I am thinking of taking them a couple of Arizona Iced Teas or something, on the next hot day. It's in the direct sunlight where they are set up, and why not be nice? Show them that an exJW, disfellowshipped person can be happy and caring.
  
  I dunno, maybe I'm getting soft in my old age.

  
  You are more human and show more compassion than they do, show them the kindness that a true Christian should show.

  I would suggest you contact your national Newspapers where you live

  Excellent idea, I have just sent the link to 2 German Online News Channels, lets see if anything happens there.
