73 years old, a Witness for 48 years, an elder for 24 years, Baptized just before 1975. WOKE UP!
by pistolpete ini thought i would post an encouraging experience i found today.
i've been seeing a lot of 70-80 year old jws waking up, and their children are posting their experience on reddit.
these are old elders, pioneers, circuit overseers who have given their everything and finally at the end of their life, are walking away.. maybe the key to waking up is that a person has to have a deep sense of right and wrong.

When I read this experience I had a tear in my eye , whoever said "you can`t teach an old dog new tricks" ?
And the line from this gentleman is simply the best .
The whole thing is now morphing into a new online trash internet religion with no real substance .
Never a truer word was said.
The fact that he never shunned his son was also telling ,he was just a slow learner .
But eventually he got there.

Who's he kidding!?
by Lost in the fog ini had to read this paragraph twice in case i'd misread it the first time.
who is he trying to kid!?
mr gomez says, "there's very little rules, if any, most of our conduct is governed by principles, and there's a lot of room for us to make personal choices.

Jehovah`s Witness company men "speak out of both sides of their mouth" ,they wouldn`t know "Truth" if it was rammed up their arse , they would still speak out of both sides of their mouth.

by Diogenesister inaustralian senator anna rushton has said that all orgs who "don't take reasonable steps to join the redress scheme" will be stripped of their charitable status come feburary 2021.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/k1pur7/the_jehovahs_witnesses_will_be_stripped_of_their/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share.

Angela Sdrisis ,told ABC news reporter "it has been going on far too long" the lawyer involved in the case.
And ain`t that the truth .
I`m thinking that if the Borg signs up to the Redress Scheme ,they will be admitting there is a problem with child sex abuse in the organization and also admitting it`s not Apostate lies, as they have been telling the congregants for so long. ?
It could be a twofold effect on WT ,in that they wont get Govt. funds as a Charitable Institution and they would also have to pay taxes themselves.
And that`s going to hit where it hurts ? loss of income . YEAAAAAA
Bring it on.

A Salute to Petra/Atlantis
by Slidin Fast inwhilst i have never quite understood whether petra and atlantis are one or multiple entities i recognise the value of their work and web of contacts.
i think it is fair to say that no-one has consistently contributed more solid gold intelligence to this site.
no one has reliably passed on more bomb shells and solid news as well as day to day minutiae.

What I want to know is why does the date keep on changing ?
Wasn`t the deadline December the 31st? and wasn`t that after it had been changed once or twice before ?

In it the GB helper rails against many major apostate talking points, mentioning specifically the criticisms of how child abuse cases are handled, the financial cutbacks and downsizing, dogmatic statements of prophecy made in literature in the past, and more.
Isn`t that enough to start some serious questioning of what one was lead to believe ?
Maybe it could be a wake up call for some ? hopefully .

As is normal with human nature there are many people who look up to other people with popularity or position / prominence in an organization ,and Jehovah`s witnesses have been no exception.
CO`s and DO`s have been well looked after by the rank and file believing they may have been entertaining Angels as the scriptures indicate .
Jehovah`s Witnesses are more SUPERSTITIOUS than they care to admit.

Christendom puts their emphasis on the name of Jesus that relates very well with what the new Testament is all about . Phil.2: 10,11
Jehovah`s Witnesses put their emphasis on the name given to the Old Testament God that is not given prominence in the New Testament as the name Jesus is.
Children of Jehovah`s Witnesses should be taught to become friends of Jesus because he is the only one for you to become friends with Jehovah.
