It’s inevitable that at some point in time, people will look back and see that the exjw community was right about the Watchtower Organization and the Bible.
Are you joking? Right?
What ex-JWs are saying about the Watchtower organization is what the rest of the world has been saying the whole time!
The org's a cult.

How many years will pass before the world recognizes we were right?
by John Aquila inits inevitable that at some point in time, people will look back and see that the exjw community was right about the watchtower organization and the bible..
i have some friends who are catholic, protestant, and some who dont associate with any religion but believe jesus will come in their lifetime.
we are such a small minority compared to christians that we are viewed as ignorant when it comes to religious matters.

Rutherford's revamping of the religion invented by CT Russell (and followers) led to the greatest schism of its history. More than 80 percent of its associated ceased their association. This led to emergence of the business end. Ultimately Rutherford rebranded the religion (hence we have Jehovah's Witnesses). Today's leadership of the religion Rutherford invented is following his plan. They are rebranding the religion.

To My Generation: Jehovah's Witnesses of the Vietnam War Era
by Hold Me-Thrill Me into my generation: jehovah's witnesses of the vietnam war era .
if you were a young brother in the late 60's you then remember the burden of the draft and the prospect of going to jail for refusing on religious grounds to be called up.
in those days we were taught that to do community service was conscientiously the same as joining the military and so we were told to refuse such exemptions.

The Duggar family hypocrisy
by Simon inanother christian child-abuse scandal in the news is the duggar family of "19 kids and counting" fame.. their show has been pulled after it emerged that the uber-christian family who are seen to promote right-wing christian values covered up abuse within their family and that of other victims by one of their family.
some values.
once again the only value that seems to really matter to the religious is appearance... good riddance to hypocritical zealots.. they have campaigned against lgbt as being threats to children and describing them as sexual predators all the while knowing that they have their own dirty secret.

New Light! The Evil Slave Class no longer exists!
by FusionTheism inquote from the watchtower, march 15, 2015, page 23:.
in the illustration of the faithful and discreet slave, jesus spoke of an evil slave who beat his fellow slaves.
jesus was not there foretelling that an evil slave class would arise.

This particular aspect of current Watchtower theology presents an awkward and ironic conundrum for its Governing Body. It turns out that only apostates could advise the fact of an evil slave.

Rumor about the Imitate Jesus Convention
by FusionTheism ini saw a rumor a few weeks ago on reddit that the new imitate jesus convention is supposed to present new light and clarified understandings on the disfellowshipping/disassociation practices.. supposedly, if this rumor has any truth to it, there will be a talk given at the convention about how we should not be strict like the pharisees in how we shun people, loosening up some of the jw rules about this practice.. has anyone here heard anything about this or have more info on it?.

"apostate tendencies". Wow!
The expression serves no purpose other than to add to reasons why a well-meaning and honest JW is ignored by his or her fellows.
