Honestly don't act like an ass with her. I think confirming that your happy not going would of been upsetting for her to hear. You can save yourself a lot of heart ah and stress by keeping your mouth shut.

by FadeToBlack inmy wife is staying with 'friends' out of town recovering from surgery on her foot.

i begged her to postpone this surgery until i got back, but she did not forsee any problems.we will see.. anyway, it dawned on her that i won't be here to attend the memorial and she said: you are probably happy about that.

A Question for Underground Apostates, How Many Are There?
by Village Idiot inwhen i first came to this forum i was of the belief that those of us who were still in due to family reasons were few in numbers perhaps one in a thousand in the jws.
soon i came to the realization that there were many more.
we have dozens of posters here who are mentally out but still in.

This is something I have wondered about. I'm guessing it would be low, and those that do know TTATT are to scared to say anything. I have heard of various ones e.g elders / Bethelites who for no apparent reason have just stopped having anything to do with the witnesses. Now knowing what I know I wonder if it was knowing the TTATT that was the catalyst for it. I remember some years ago I had a RV who was an inactive elder. I remember him just before he died having a bible beside him, and he always said he had a love for the scriptures, but never gave his reasons for stepping down and becoming inactive. It would of been interesting to find out his reasons. -

Circuit Overseer's Cars - Anybody got the answers?
by The Searcher inatlantis provided a uk branch letter regarding a 3 levy per publisher to pay for the britain branch c.o.s 85 new cars.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/126700001/2-new-boes-watchtower-begging-money-volunteers.
with approximately 120,000 publishers in the uk, that will rake in 360,000. .

How, exactly, does Watchtower's literature publishing bring them money?
by Island Man ini've heard is said many times that watchtower is a publishing company bringing in money from the proliferation of its literature.
how exactly does this process work?
i know that jws are encouraged to tell the householders of the donation arrangement to support the worldwide work.

The Real History of Mormonism - Outstanding Lecture
by cofty inif you think the mormon church is off-the-scale crazy you probably don't know the half of it.. the historical information in this talk by david fitzgerald is fascinating.
the good news is that, just like the watchtower, their growth is being stunted by the internet.. grab a coffee and be amazed at just how gullible millions of people can be.. lucy harris has become my new heroine.
don't miss the section from 8:50.

I have always said this. The Mormon church is more fanciful but the watchtower is more dangerous. -

Child Abuse must be getting out of hand if they're addressing it...
by thedepressedsoul ini'm referring to the video that was uploaded where they finally mentioned the child abuse issue.
we all kinda guessed that if they ever addressed it they'd blame it on the media and apostates.
well, looks like we were spot on.

Lett briefly addresses the child abuse issues in new JW.org video
by Richard_I ini just read about this on the ex-jw subreddit.
link to the video (10m06s).. skip to 7:35 where he says: "another way we can contribute to the oneness - rejecting false stories that are designed to separate us from jehovah's organization.
as an example, think about the apostate-driven lies and 'dishonesties' that jehovah's organization is permissive toward pedophiles.

Well I wonder why Losche didn't want to testify to these lies in court. I think that would of been far more appropriate. -

I can't really understand why Wt had to play dumb ass with Katie kitten and not hand over their child safeguarding policies. I think if anything they could of benefited by being able to prove that they were been proactive in the matter and also handling it in an open and transparent way. -

A coming out story to my mother.
by JennyBoo inso i actually came out to my mother a few days ago.
told her how i really felt about being a jw (jehovah's witness) and how i wasn't straight.
i wasn't surprised by the disapproving response i got because really, i wasn't expecting any more.
