Its possible I might be asked by the CO to work with him today. Hes gonna want to know why I'm holding myself back. I'm itching to tell him about my doubts (ONLY about the new light, how i cant get my head around how the HS would direct us to believe falsehoods for decades, NOT about everything, that'd be suicide!) Let me explain my reason for saying this.. I'm fading but the missus isnt. I've explained a couple of doubts to her in the past but she comes out with the old chestnuts about the love , the preaching, etc.. i know the co would tell the elders to 'strengthen' me, encourage me, just as equally as i know i wont get a satisfactory answer to my questions. But the benefit could be that 1. the missus sees that my questions havent been answered and 2. any subsequent hounding that comes my way could help her see through the love to see the true purpose of the hounding, bring every thought into line with the gb or else... Part of this is born out of frustration waiting, im losing patience. I think I already know its a bad idea and that fading quietly makes more sense but just typing it out today kinda helped sort it out in my mind. Ive nearly spoken out numerous times , I guess i just need to be more patient...

JW Apolgist rant here...and confession.
by Julia Orwell ini really don't like people disparaging active jws on this site by calling them stupid, idiots, morons and that, and making out like they're willing puppets to the gb or cruel at heart.
or describing them like they're puke or as having no desire to learn or listen.. to you, all these things may be true.
we all have opinions and are entitled to them.

JW Preaching Work Ends in 20th Century ?
by Scorpion inpage 12 of the january 1,1989 wt original magazine paragraph 8 ends with the statement that the apostle paul's missionary activity laid a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century.".
(a subtle prophecy that 'the end' will come by the year 2000 a.d.).
this sentence is changed in the bound volume reprint to read "a work that would be completed in our day.

How will WTBTS turn growth around
by joe134cd ini know sometimes i can come across as an opologist.
i just can't seem to help myself, and i do apologize.
i had a thought on how could the wtbts turn their fortunes around to reducing the out flow, and getting a more positive growth of publishers, particularly in western lands.

Try asking this on jwtalk and watch yourself get shot down in flames! Proper self righteous bunch there, if you ask a question and if it's not outright praise and support you're the devil.

Drop the bomb!
by apocalypse ini had a chance to drop a bomb on a 'bro' that i have known many years.
you should'a been there.. (this is the second time in less than 2 months i have dropped this particular bomb on a bro and in this manner).
before i tell the story, which you will enjoy, note that i have remained "in" the org for many years after finding out the ttatt.. 1) for the sake of family (limited time left).
