Procedure Question Involving GB to Make JWs Think
by truth_b_known insince leaving the jws the governing body upgraded their status to being the "faithful & discreet slave".
in a sense, the gb declared themselves the 8 popes of wallkill.
absolute, unquestioning loyalty to the gb has become the central belief of the watchtower and declared the only source of salvation for the "great crowd".. the gb has instructed their followers to believe what they say and only believe what they say.

The Memorial, The Messiah, and Why it's all Bogus
by truth_b_known inif it were not for the fact that my sister posted this year's memorial invitation on her facebook page yesterday i would have no idea it was today (note: i live a quarter mile from the local kingdom hall.
still no invite).
i faded well over a decade ago, but was not mentally out until i attended my last memorial in 2010. attending the memorial actually helped me leave.. yesterday i started analyzing the event that jehovah's witnesses tout as the most important day of the year.
