It's been over four years since I've been to a meeting.
It's great! :)

Do you still go to meetings?
by NikL inas i was sitting in the meeting last night i thought about this question.. sometimes it feels really lonely because i don't connect with most others in the congregation and i have to be so careful with the ones with whom i do associate.. quick rundown on my life...got baptized at 17...married at 20...became inactive at 28 wife still active though...came back to meetings with her 20 years later just to keep her quiet and see if they had changed (for a while i actually thought they had)...now i am still inactive and haven't gone out in service or anything.
i just go to meetings with my wife who is happy as a lark to have me there with her...just go to meetings and think...and think...and think.... anyway, i just wondered if there are any out there like me who are going to meetings and nothing else?.

Jehovah's Limp Witnesses Pointed Me to JW.org When I Was Willing to Talk
by steve2 inseveral months ago i approached a nice young couple who were standing by a jw literature stand in my local community.
they were pleasant and polite but incredibly stilted when it came to answering my "innocent" questions about their beliefs.
this was the occasion of jws featuring the article headlined "is religion dying?".

Gone are the days of the JWs who could defend or even understand their own beliefs.
Basically, if confronted, they might go get an article from the JW online library, but they are not prepared to discuss it or field any questions about it.
When worse comes to worse, the strategy is like something from Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Run away! Run away!

Australian Royal Commission, March 2017 & the February 2017 Watchtower
by Londo111 inthe february 2017 watchtower says: “the governing body is neither inspired nor infallible.
therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction.”.
could this frank admission be a prelude to any fallout to australian royal commission’s recommendations in march 2017?.

Maybe this admission opens the door for them to make some changes. Maybe.

If I'm not mistaken, not every JW gets to do carts. Only if approved by the elders. Usually pioneers. The rank and file still have go door to door.

Easy time. Back when I was a JW, you could only count time in pairs (door-to-door, business, street witnessing, Bible studies).
This is like some sort of joke: How many JWs does it take to watch a cart?

The true sign of a Cult-Like group is:
by stuckinarut2 injust thought we could have a concise thread listing the signs of a high control, or cult-like group:.

Exactly: if the group officially practices shunning leave takers, it is a cult.

Witnesses illusion that they have their OWN conscience!! What a joke! Examples.
by Witness 007 inwitnesses always claim to have a "bible trained conscience" yet they are really just watchtower robots who cant piss without checking with an elder or watchtower.
an elder who cuts hair was scared when i asked for a bald buzz cut since my hair was receding and grey.
he actually rang a bethel elder to see if this was okay watchtower wise!

I remember on the shaved head rule...if you were black it was okay, but if you were white, it wasn't, even if that person was balding.

Nearly every presidential election was going to lead to the governments to turn on "false religion" and the Big A.
4 to 8 years from now, JWs will forget all about what they said, and speculate how the new president will get the ball rolling.
