Thanksgiving just around the corner
by Little Bo Peep in

2. beliefs
i think most posters here, being exjw's probably celebrate thanksgiving.

even loyal jw's actually do, even though they are careful to tell anyone seeing that big turkey with all the fixins, "we aren't really celebrating thanksgiving, but everyone could get together today".

that is what i remember saying.

What do you think the Society's future holds?
by KW13 in
1. jw
2. friends
i get the feeling the society is gonna suffer a huge loss of number, with people who are in getting old, those 'raised' in the so called truth leaving and less and less interested ones because more people are aware.. .

it has its ups and downs but it seems the ups aren't as big as they used to, some never recovered from 1975 and others from the 1995 generation thingy.. your thoughts?.

C.O. is in town, the harassment begins...
by PeachRose in
1. jw
2. friends
i haven't been to meetings in a long time (trying to fade).

ever so often i do run into a witness or 2 who are friendly, but reserved (after all i am considered in active).

anyway, my hubby & i are currently working on a letter to send to the society that will more then likely get us df'd or disassociated (same thing i guess).

Another Deceitful Tactic by the WTBTS.
by gumby in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
as most informed jehovah's witnesses know, the wtbts is very good at painting a pretty picture of themselves by cleverly wording things to outsiders, yet not revealing the specifics of their beliefs.. below is an example from their official website regarding whether or not they shun members who choose to leave them.

they do not tell the public of the interogation they impose on members who wish to quietly leave ( fade ).. notice they mention how they are more than happy to restore those who exit, but fail to mention the types of questions they ask to those who leave them.. while they admit they shun those who verbally express they no longer wish to be a jehovahs witness, they do not tell the public they coerce that very statement from those who try to leave peacefully and quietly.
