I wouldn't be surprised if what you are saying is true. One thing is for sure "it's not the same organisation that i knew 20-30 years ago".

How to disassociate? HELP
by Mandrake ini'm looking for a way to disassociate myself, now i'm thinking to make a "public declaration" before a civil law notary (i'm in chile), but i need some ideas about what to put in that declaration, i would like to look the "ks" book to cover all possible sides and make a solid declaration... any experiences?
my plan is to make that legal declaration that would say "i'm no longer consider myself a jehovah's witness nor want to be linked to any of the wt organizations or legal entities, and want all my personal records to be erased"... any orientation will be helpful :).

Just adding further to my above post. If you are a convert, youthful, havnt been jw for a lengthy period of time and have no family or social connections. (Which this sounds like you). Then by all means walk out with your middle finger extended to them. Nothing gained nothing lost. For born in like me this is just out of the question.

Honestly if you have still got family in your best bet is just to fade off into the distance. Just makes life so much more pleasant, and if you don't have to rock the boat then don't.

There was an elderly sister in my cong, at the time I was very active. Ok she wasn't a publisher but was at all the meetings. It wasn't until she was dead and buried and I went to chase her up for something that i discovered that she had died. At the time I put it down to been a big congregation but now that i look back on it i have to wonder how I possibly could not have known. I swear not a word out of anyone. Would love to know what her wordly family thought.

Abuse among JWs once again highlighted on national TV / Norway
by InquiryMan inthe major commercial tv network in norway, has once again highlighted abuse within religious communities.
the only group not willing to reveal any information on abuse cases is jehovahs witnesses.
this case is highlighted very prominently on their web site today and will most likely be on their evening news tonight (i reckon).. http://www.tv2.no/2014/12/01/nyheter/overgrep/6261340.

They seem to be taking a real hammering in Scandanavia lately. Be interesting to see if this is will show up as a further decrease in those countries.

I totally agree with your sentiments. It just amazes me how an organization will spend billions of dollars and countless man hours trying to find a new recruit and yet will do relatively nothing to help, maintain or retain that member. As you have highlighted here. It's just like they don't get It. Estimates are they lose around a million members every decade and they just stand by and watch it happen. Beats me.

Interesting conversation today with a very sick JW
by joe134cd ini was talking to a jw friend of mine who is going for tests to see if she needs evasive surgery.
she was describing to me the look on the surgeons face when she told him she won't except blood.
i just felt sorry for her.

I just felt sorry for her. Here's a person who may have a life threatening condition, and hasn't got a clue that a few years ago they had also banned organ transplants and blood fractions. Sadly I kept my mouth shut. Just silly how a person is willing to die for the ever changing doctrine of the WT.
