Is this a new practice?
They`ve been doing that for as long as I can remember..
JW`s have no boundaries..
They feel free to be assholes,almost anywhere they go..
my husband and i recently moved back to our hometown so we are back on the radar for the elders.
we have been happily inactive the last few years.
the other day a brother, who was once friends with my husband, and a substitute circuit overseer stopped in my husband's work for a shepherding visit if they still call it that.

jehovah’s witnesses will seek to overturn the apex court’s order .
The latest move by the Jehovah’s Witnesses will seek to overturn the apex court’s order on November 30, 2016, that all cinema halls in India would play the national anthem before the feature film starts. This order also made it mandatory for all present in the hall “to stand up to show respect to the national anthem” as part of their “sacred obligation”.
How much will Watchtower spend on something that stupid?.....As much as it takes..
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
How about food and shelter for the poor in India?!!..
WatchTards!!..
so i had my first appointment with a counsellor, of course i explained about being a born in jw, mentally leaving, the penalty of doing so and therefore the mental strain of pretending to be someone i'm not.
her response was that she couldn't help me with that because leaving a cult was a "lifestyle choice".
i tried to say to her that its a cult not a religion and how it brain washed me but no.
Leaving the jws is a "lifestyle choice" according to a counsellor
Do you think it's a lifestyle choice?
Uhhhhhhh..No..
She Needs Counselling..
i have had a conversation this evening with a jw friend i have known since childhood.
he is of the opinion that armageddon will have come and gone within the next 5 years.
are the jws now pinpointing 2020 as the supposed year?
Is the year 2020 the new prediction for Armageddon?
It would be 1975 all over again..
New Years Eve 2020..
At the stroke of Midnight bringing in 2021..
7 million JW`s would simultaneously get instant amnesia and forget..
They preached Armageddon by 2020..
to me it seems that there are a growing number of jws who reject a few to most doctrines of jws and yet still believe that they are in "jehovah's organisation.
" i have come across quite a few who for example, reject the 1914 doctrine entirely and yet remain psuedo-jws.. take a look at this page: http://e-jw.org/index.php?threads/the-ultimate-generational-leap-rebuttal.2521/#post-21793.
those are jws who reject 1914 and even the gb.
The JWs who don't believe JW doctrine..
Most don`t care about doctrine,which could change tomorrow and often does..
JW`s parrot what ever the WBT$ wants..
I`ve often heard JW`s say:
"Even if it wasn`t the Truth,I`d still be a JW!"
Nothing but Loyalty to the WBT$,matters in WatchTower World..
It`s simple,no thinking involved..
........................................
That`s why a lot of JW`s are happy..
Right Where They Are..
when i was younger i used to hear about "marking talks" given in the past.
i believe they stopped in the 80's or 90's.
basically, if someone wasn't baptized or doing something unrepentant, they would get a "marking talk" and be treated the same as a df person.
Yep..
Change the WBT$/JW Cult Language up every once in a while..
That way you know who`s really a Loyal WBT$ /JW.....And..
Who may fall under suspicion,for not speaking the WBT$/JW Cult Language correctly..

starting an o.p is a challenge.the person who starts the o.p then relies on fellow posters to obtain feedback and hopefully keep the o.p, informative and positive.
so starting an o.p becomes " shared accountabilility" between o.p starter, and thread poster.. some o.p's will be more of a risk factor than others, because some topics are more controversial.
so when i start an o.p i now ask myself what is:-.
Threads have a life of their own..
Once you start one you never know where it will go.
Some die after a few posts..
Some are pleasant conversations..
Some start smoking,drinking,doing drugs and party..
They`re all over the place,all you can do is watch..
i'm thinking his willful failure to be briefed by the cia about russian election tampering and not understanding diplomatic protocall.
making off handed statements without proper research about the mater.

Isn't this the same crowd that said Trump wouldn't win the election?
A buddy of mine said "Trump Would Never Win"..
I told him..
Then he asked..
"How many stupid people could there possibly be?"
.................
Enough to win the $100.00 he wanted to bet me.....LOL!!..

i saw this on reddit:.
https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/5mlgsm/2017_yearbook_of_jehovahs_witnesses/.
overall the numbers are better than last year (1.8% growth compared to 1.5% last year -- as i predicted ;-) ) with an increase in all major figures including 1300 more congregations (i assume this is not physical kingdom halls?).
Total Hours Spent in Field: 1,983,763,754
Total Number Baptized: 260,273
7,499 hrs to get 1 Baptizim..
We know at least half of those are JW Kids..
So..
It`s really 14,998 hrs or more.....To get 1 converted JW..
