Why Jehovahs's Witnesses keep growing
by truthseeker init's a numbers game with the watchtower society - they love them.. numbers are everwhere - your time sheet, the number of minutes for talk # 2, the number of anointed, number partaking, number of times jesus arrives.. so why is the watchtower society still growing?.
answer?
there teachings work, for the most part.

Freedom tastes like a good beer - let's have another. Personal update
by truthseeker init's been six months since my fade - other than a couple of calls from the elders concerned about my meeting attendance, i have been pretty much left alone.. freedom from the organization has given me peace of mind - i don't worry about being ignored by "the friends", i don't have to fake my hours and i don't have to rush to get to the service meeting minutes after getting home from work.. according to jw lore, i should be weeping and gnashing my teeth but i am feeling better by the day.
i still believe in god, still identify with christianity and am still looking for answers to life's questions.
i don't pretend to have the answers but i have the freedom to look for them.. .

Did you SAVE money by using a hotel on the recommended lodging list?
by truthseeker ini haven't seen this question posted here before, but did any of you who stayed at one of the hotels on the society's recommended lodging list save money than if you attended a hotel not on the list?.
having seen a few of these lists, it seems the rates given are expensive..

Did you still attend gatherings after you faded?
by truthseeker init's hard work pretending when you're doing the fade - it's even harder when for one reason or another, you make a decision to attend a "gathering".. i found i stopped looking at people as i used to and looked at them in a different light, new light - it can never be the same again..
