hello forum,.

i'm new here and not sure where to post.

so, i'm 21 years old and currently a baptized witness, however, i'm slowly making my mind up to leave and here's why.. first, there are certain things that make no sense to me in the organization.

I would not DA. The best thing to do is fade.

I would use this time to read the following:

Crisis of Conscience

In Search of Christian Freedom

Combatting Cult Mind Control

After reading these, I believe you will be able to put your observations, which are spot on, in perspective.

An interesting comment given by an older brother during the prayer yesterday.

by My Name is of No Consequence in

i have been a regular visitor to this site for several years now.

i never really felt the need to set up an account and post...until now.

at the close of yesterdays meeting, an older brother gave the prayer.

My Name is of No Consequence: Welcome!

In the late 90's, I pushed to get a personal computer in the Kingdom Hall and many were quiet resistant. It languished in a backroom unused.

After many years of stalled technological progress, the rebranding into JW.ORG has accelerated changes faster than any time in my lifetime. What will be interesting is hearing about the new Kingdom Hall designs that will be unveiled to all elders in the US branch tomorrow.

A civic conscience? LOL!

How about just a conscience? Even that is doubtful.

I'm really looking forward to Avengers 2...more than any movie I've been looking forward to in a long time. I hope for unending sequals.

I was skeptical of Fantastic Four until seeing the teaser...I will give it the benefit of the doubt.

And, of course, the trailer for Star Wars looked great...I'm looking foward to seeing it.

Long live the sequel!

Is Watchtowers view & practices currently split in two? Split leadership direction?

by thedepressedsoul in

i've been deeply following jw "culture" the last 2 years and i am getting the impression that the leadership is currently split in two different directions.

on one hand you get this sense of a happy, joyful and less strict religion and on the other hand there is still this strict, harsh religion of the past.

let me explain more.. there have been a lot of video's lately that show dancing in kingdom halls, bethel dancing to the "happy" song, jw.org downplaying their beliefs and making it sound like daisies.

This is classic cult MO. Nothing new, but the style.

There is outsider information vs insider information.

There is a face presented to the outside world and another face to those on the inside. In fact, the further up a person goes in the org, one encounters still more faces.

The contempt of Anthony Morris: the face doesn't lie.

by freemindfade in

i have noticed something even long before even looking into ttatt, something about morris bothered me.

i am personally very attuned to body language, facial expressions and general subtleties in human interaction.

there was something about his face that really bothered me, and i will explain it.

Sadly, this isn't exactly news...

I think Lett needs to be examined as well!

If someone can type together what he is saying that would be great. I can't stomach watching it.
