Data dawling ...plse post a link for magazine!
i hate to read the wt, but i skimmed the july 15 study edition.
i found many examples of propaganda, of course, but a couple things really stood out.
1) the future of the preaching work.

after reading a great article and video by mr john cedars on his website:.
http://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/the-cedars-challenge-how-to-bring-down-jwsurvey.
it raised a very simple question:.
Dear AD...... how did we believe for so long,
maybe we wanted it all to be true. Even today
with everything at their fingertips...they still
just gulp it down & stagger away home...till
next time.

the unexamined life is not worth living.. -socrates.
holding all of humanity in contempt and degrading every achievement of mankind as being insignificant is not a philosophy or a worldview worth having.
tell me, oh self righteous jw, what was the price of your integrity?
josh here, new to the board.
glad to know this site is here.. i would not be writing this if it were not 2014. i was a ministerial servant and regular pioneer who left the jehovahs witnesses back in 1995/96, around that time.
i left suddenly, didnt fade away, just left when something clicked one day in my head during the morning shower and made me realize this religion wasnt true.
Hello there Josh.....you are funny!!!!!!
Loved your post, a big welcome to you!

have you ever heard that statement?
i have heard it many times and i just don't know what to do with it.
they are chosing a to live a lie because they like the lifestyle.
"I don't care if it's teachings are false, I'd never leave because it's the best way of life"

Those were the last words a good 'friend'
ever said to me!

watching the world.
''every year, nearly 3 million babies die within the first month of life, most from preventable causes.
more than a third of these babies die on their first day of life" - save the children international.
Dripping with irony this morning ...aren't we!
No wonder we do.... knowing, as we do,
about the hypocritical words & deeds of this
deadly cult!
Thanks for posting that Xan.

"from time to time, there have arisen from among the ranks of jehovah's people those, who, like the original satan, have adopted an independent, faultfinding attitude...they say that it is sufficient to read the bible exclusively, either alone or in small groups at home.
but, strangely, through such 'bible reading,' they have reverted right back to the apostate doctrines that commentaries by christendom's clergy were teaching 100 years ago.
the watchtower, aug. 15, 1981.. .
"All scripture is inspired.................................
that the man of god may be fully competant,
completely equipped for every good work"

two things finally struck me:.
for now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now i know in part, but then i will know fully just as i also have been fully known.. _______________________.
unconscienceless rat basterds!
i have been lurking and reading for a couple weeks now.
i love the topics and it has inspired me to say hello to all my fellow apostates.
i was awakened to how my family feels about me and my wife shortly after the international assembly.
Speed ...so sorry that this has happened to you too!
An familiar evil story.
When the shun becomes overt, and undeniable......
I felt gutted.....and no doubt you did too.
Hang in there and really dig for the truth about
everything you are not sure about.
Glad you have your wife & sons...so there is
some immediate comfort for you.
There are many newbies coming on here
everyday, so you have good company.
Welcome & best wishes to you & the Mrs.

when i first learned about the bull $#@!
about the cult that i am in, i reached out to my good friend who brought me into this organization through a study.
this man is wonderful human being & i thought would be understanding to my struggles.
Made the mistake of mentioning that I found out
that the gb say they are the mediators for us, not
christ. Well big reaction, my friend loudly stated that
this is a lie..............:-( !!!!!
Going on two years now......still no contact & she
still has not looked it up to prove if I was a 'liar'or not!
So my friendship wasn't worth very much to her!

Omg these people are so damaged in the head!
