1914 and 1919 have to go!
by Mickey mouse ini was reading an interesting thread in the "best of" sub forum about how the wbts are referring to 1914 less and less in the literature.
this thread was from 2001 (would love to paste the link here but i have serious technical difficulties with this site .
i definitely see the society using the "silent dropping" technique referenced by ray franz and expect to see 1914 discounted completely in the near future.

When you see the disgusting thing that causes desolation...
by Mickey mouse in...standing in a holy place.. i am sure this must have been discussed before but i can't find it in a search.
so if the disgusting thing is the un i think i can think of a time when it has stood in a place jw's consider "holy".
i never bought that the "holy place" was christendom when it has supposedly been denounced by god already.

Alarming statement in today's study article in WT...
by Mickey mouse inparagraph 15: "as we get nearer to the outbreak of the great tribulation, we may well receive some detailed instructions.
our safe journey through those troublesome days will depend on our keeping in step with other loyal servants of jehovah.
" this in the context of a wt discussing the israelites' exodus from egypt and how jehovah had them into a position where there seemed "no way out".

Counselling (in the UK)
by Mickey mouse ini am considering counselling as i feel i am slipping into a black hole with all of this and could really do with talking it all over with an indepenent "real person" without fear of it coming back to bite me if you know what i mean?
i am still in, considering my options but my head is a mess.
sometimes i think this place can be bad for me (although really i know it's the kh that's the problem .

How many JW's are having doubts?
by Mickey mouse ini wonder what percentage of current jw's know it's not the truth but have too much invested to get out?
more importantly, how many of the gb know but have no where else to go?.
anyone care to hazard a guess?.

Ahhh, it all makes sense now...
by Mickey mouse in...things keep coming to me about why the wbts teaches certain things and it all becomes clear when you see it for what it is - a cult.. for instance, why do they counsel so strongly against hypnotism?
is it really because they suspect demonism is involved or more likely that it may disrupt all that careful programming and mind control of theirs?
what things have suddenly become clear to you?.

Anyone else here a 1976 baby?!
by Mickey mouse ini just realised recently that my birth at the end of 1976 could well have been a result of my parents being disappointed at the absence of armageddon in 1975 so they may as well have a baby afterall.

The bravest thing...
by Mickey mouse in...i've been thinking and i reckon leaving "the truth" and risking losing your entire family has to be one of the bravest things to do.
i am still considering whether my exit is possible but to all who have done it, well done!
i noticed on another thread that others found once they left it inspired other family members to leave too.
