  guys .

  a letter was just read in out kh stating that all printing of wt and awake is ceased for the coming year and we will just place tracts on fs, countries which were cared by our branch will be cared by other countries...along with this they read the new fs form and stuff about reporting links of videos wtf..lol.

  i can't tell which country perhaps that will give away a lot, any one with a similar information.

  Proportionally, there are very few JWs in India to the population and likely it would not be a source of donations. It is likely not worth the Watchtower’s time and easier to write off and concentrate on retaining membership where there is a higher concentration of JWs.

  What I would like to see soon!

  by John Aquila in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i would like to see one or better two members of the governing body get disfellowshipped and they both go off to write books like ray franz exposing the cult to all the sexual scandals, the hidden agendas with the stock market investments, the lawsuits, the laying of long time bethel workers, hidden sins by the higher ups and all the other nasty skeletons in the watchtower closet..

  what would be different today compared to rays time is that we now live in a social media world..

  they would be invited to talk in the oprah winfrey show, ellen degeneres show, the view, dateline.

  I find that when a person goes into cult mode, the cult personality is pretty universal, be they JW or Scientologist or some other cult. The cult personality can be pretty vicious. Of course, when it comes from strangers on the internet, I sit back and laugh because they don’t know me. It only hurts when it comes from someone I know.

  I believe we've foreseen this move for years. Perhaps it will occur sooner than later.

  A question about fading....

  by Tornintwo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i understand that many on this forum are undertaking a slow fade, over months, years even.. can i ask what is the benefit of that instead of a fast fade?.

  as i understand it, the elders only have to deal judicially with people who are still active witnesses, known in the community as witnesses, having contact and influence with witnesses etc.

  so surely the sooner you stop attending meetings the better.

  As has been said, it all depends on circumstances.

  As for me, I was divorced, and my parents never call or visit although they live in the same town. They have “no natural affection”. My best friend called me an “apostate” and cut contact. After that, I quit going. It’s been over three years.

  Recently my father asked if I was an “apostate” via email. I tried to explain I wasn't because if an apostate means being the boogeyman that the Watchtower portrays than that boogeyman description does not fit me at all. He said he was printing off my emails (after dropping Matthew 24:45 question on me) and giving them to “my brothers”, ie the elders. I’m not sure where my records are or if he knows where they are, so good luck with all that! But I’m sure in his mind no matter what the elders say basically he has cut me off at this point.

  I’m not sure if my life would be any different. Eventually fading ends with the same result as disfellowshipping or DAing: little to no contact with JWs.

  JW Middle Schoolers vs Non JW Middle Schoolers - what was your middle/high school experience?

  by Julia Orwell in

  2. friends

  i'm a secondary school teacher and i've spent a lot of time at school this year since i've left jws simply observing student dynamics.

  i do a lot of playground duty and have the opportunity to observe the kids at play and in the classroom.

  i've especially had the opportunity to observe middle school kids, that is, kids between 12 and 15 in my state.. my observations of these 'worldly' children are:.

  My middle school experience: I was picked on constantly. It was bad on my self-esteem to be sure and effects me to this day.

  If the new time slips no longer record the number of magazines placed, then that will be one less criteria for the CO to judge in making appointments...

  The Angels will guide a nuclear bomb away from the Governing Body!

  by John Aquila in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is one major reason why i dont try to wake up anyone anymore.

  they need to take the first step, and then i will help---- if they ask.

  otherwise i just listen and marvel at how some of them think.

  It is likely Al Qaeda has never heard of the Watchtower, Bible and Tract Society or the Governing Body and it’s never been on their ‘radar’.

  And, of course, never mind the terrorists had been plotting for months and years to target the World Trade Center, a place that had previously been attacked, and nobody has found plans to target Watchtower HQ. Never mind that they did hit the Pentagon in DC as well. Never mind that Flight 93 was likely header for the White House but didn’t make it…
