Keep your mouth shut to your elder friend if you do not want to be disfellowshipped.
How do you forward a reasonable argument for being inactive... You cannot, so say nothing

Am I on thin ice with my friend?
by cedars ini'm a former mts graduate, and it's a long story but i recently became inactive after realising it was all nonsense.
the problem is, i've noticed that my mts background makes it almost impossible for people to accept my new status as an "inactive" one.
people think that, given the amount of knowledge i have, there is surely no excuse for me to reach this preposterous decision.. a friend from my mts recently began emailing me to find out my reasons.

the Memorial. Same as Mock/Reject the Christ?
by punkofnice incan anyone provide links or information on this.. as jws we passed along the doritos and vinegar without imbibing.. i have been lead to belive this is a copy of the occult 'mock/rejaect the christ ceremony.. 1. i have no evidence such a ceremony exists beyond being told.
thus i would like to see evidence.. 2. would it not have been until judge boozerford decided to create two classes that the idea of passing the cutlery would have been devised?.
3. if boozerford is responsible would he have been sober enough to copy a mock/reject ceremony?

New light keeps getting brighter and brighter and they would all say "how exciting this new light is" and "how close the end must really be now."

Are they going to keep lowering the bar to be appointed an MS or Elder???
by karter inmy mother told me of 2 young guys that have been appointed elders.. i could'nt belive it these guys have zero life experance and both their wifes walked out on them after a few years of marrage.. another one cooked his brain on drugs and his talks are painfull to listen to....all over the place and stumbles through them.. .
is it due to alot of young ones (60 to 70%) leaving and the pool to pick from is getting smaller so lowering the bar is the only way???
?.

On my DF'ing committee (that I did not attend) one of the elders was 24 years old. How repugnant to think a mature woman would go and tell all to some little pimple face weirdo that does not even shave yet.

Why So Many Young People Are Leaving The Watchtower
by Jeremy C ini have been giving a lot of thought to the young people who are leaving the watchtower organization in recent years.
last night, i was reading the thread posted by jwfacts a while back in which he provided some statistics and graphs showing the rapidly declining growth in the watchtower.
one factor that was discussed at length was the high number of young people who do not stay in the organization.

Thank you so much Jeremy!
In addition to all the harm these young people endure, they learn at a very young age to tune out. Anyone raised with those 5 meetings/week are experts at tuning anything and everything out.

My 80+ parents with four bad hips and two bad hearts between them will be so thrilled to be invited. Just another reason for them to believe "We are just a whisper away from the nu system" and "The GB are as sharp as a two edged sword always lovingly providing us with spiritual food"
My father will sit all day (and shake from his recent stroke) and get teary eyed at all the applauding. They will come home and be horribly depressed because they raised five children that have no appreciation for this "BEAUTIFUL" organization.
