That anything good that happens to me is because the demons don't want me to return to Jehovah.
Anything bad that happens to me is because I left Jehovah.
I can't win either way.

there are so many things told that are just unbelievable
last year the elders told me that I was not scripturaly free because my ex took back his admission of adultry. I asked all the elders and the CO where in the Bible it says that at the mouth of two or more witnesses a matter is made firm (unless you take it back).
the CO told me that I may be right about this but I have to wait until the faithful slave comes to that realization....
NOW!!!!!!......wouldnt that make me smarter than God...if the faithful slave gets thier info straight from God?
(1) The elder who studied with me in 1974 told me that all I had to do was "stop being gay" for a few months, get baptized, and I was sure to survive Armageddon.
(2) When I was disfellowshipped, one of the elders on the judicial committee told me that in order to be reinstated, I had to come back with a wife and child of my own fathering to prove to them I was no longer gay.
(3) There was a brother in my congregation who could not shave because he would get horrible welts on his face, and maintained a very neat, trim beard. I actually heard one of the elders say to him "It would set a fine example for the rest of the congregation if you shaved your beard and suffered with welts on your face."
(4) At the last memorial I attended, the PO who gave the memorial talk said not to eat or drink any of the emblems while they were being passed "because there wasn't enough for everyone". I suppose he somehow missed the Bible verses telling the story of the loaves and fishes.
An elder pulled me aside once and said that all married women should wear girdles. Being a "good little dub" I bit my tongue... but why was a married man such as he was looking at other women like that?
I began working at the local library and the presiding overseer told me if anyone came in and asked me for a book on abortion, I should not look for it for them. In fact, I would be better off just quitting rather than "hand out" information on drugs, sex, drinking, etc.; if I didn't quit, I would be compromising my spirituality. I faded a few years after this. I finally did leave that job....more than thirty years later!
My dad is not a Witness, yet he's worked hard all his life, honest in all his dealings with others, supported his family, doesn't drink, has been happily married for more than 55 years; yet a "loving" Witless told me once that my dad was not worthy enough to survive Armageddon. Who is he to judge?????? It was that thoughtless comment (along with some other stuff) that pushed me into fading away more than 25 years ago.
There are some chimpanzees that have been trained to be able to comunicate with humans using a graphic symbolic language, you may also know the gorilla Koko, that use sing language. These experiments have demonstrated that these animals are conscious beings, ans have emphaty to some degree.
How a JW elder expain this:"Jehovah created them to help humans in the harvest work and gathering fruits."
This same elder explain the existence of dinosaurs:
"Jehovah created them to compact the ground (they are big and had big feet) or to eat the excess of vegetation, when their asigned work was done god no longer needed them" (I don't know if this translation is good)
I wonder if Jehovah created worms to serve fishers in their work.

Loads of goods tales here which goes to confirm that naivety and stupidity amongst the dubs is not confined to any particular culture, but is universal.

An elder [dick schroder] came to my house to "encourage me" ,I started to ask a lot of questions that were not friendly to the org.
He started to rub his head and went to the door saying " their will be many people who think for themselves that die at armageddon
and then left.
I just stood there thinking what the hell just happened. I thought that these guys had all the answers
