  Ex-JWs, How Many People Have Left the WTBTS Due To Your Efforts?

  by ziddina in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  and, while we're at it, what did you feel was the best technique/were the best techniques for 'awakening' jws to the problems/threats within the wtbts??.

  i was initially awakened by the realization that the bible writers had no clue about how the earth really worked - which meant that their god had no clue, either.

  when exodus 19: 16-19 was read in the kh, i realized (as a young child, 7 or 8 if i remember correctly...) that those bible verses were describing a volcanic eruption - and the isra-el-ites - and their 'god' - were totally clueless as to the true nature of that eruption and mountain.... that was my first eye-opener... then there was the fellow - a householder - who said to me when i was a cute kid at the door helping 'spread the word', "those people are using you!".

  All I can say is "WOW"

  by lepermessiah in

  i love those life-changing books that you read and they seem to come at the right time and really touch you deeply.. most of you have read crisis of conscience, but the beginning of chapter 11 just blew me away......unbelievable......... ray is such a gifted writer, the sincerity just oozes off the pages, and even people that treated him like garbage, he still has a kind and respectful tone toward those scum bags.. i just read a three part series on the third reich, and it is truly scary how similar in structure and operation the wtbs is, when it comes to authoritarianism, eliminating "enemies", and instilling fear in people.. ray put into words exactly how i feel, why i feel the way i do, and made me feel good about feeling that way.. i just wanted to share these few paragraphs and see if they had the same effect on many of you!.

  i now began to realize how large a measure of what i had based my entire adult life course on was just that, a mythpersistent,.

  persuasive and unrealistic.

  Is the GB brainwashed?

  by highdose in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  somthing thats beenpuzzling me... is the gb as brain washed as the r&f or are they actualy aware of how wrong they are?

  if they are aware then that would make them very evil as the deception of their flock is then caluated.

  but do they actualy belive the crap they put out?.

  Baptism numbers decreasing?

  by Mattieu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the last 3 weekends have seen 3 circuit assemblies in victoria with over 1000 attending each circuit.

  yet only 10 baptised over the last 3 weeks, including 3 last weekend.

  i can remember a few years ago when only 1 bro was baptised at a 2 day convention.. its funny, when 10-20 were being baptised at each circuit assembly back in the 1980s & early 90s it was always brought out that this was a sign of jehovahs blessing upon the org.
