  I agree, the sister was caught off guard and gave a fast-brained candid response. Aka she let the truth slip out.

  i wonder if this is true.

  lots of people commenting after the article about how it's proof of g#ds blessing.. so if jw.borg ever gets overtaken in the rankings does that mean the blessing has left the building?.

  First talk is all about how to bend spoons using the power of your belief.

  (You wouldn't want to waste that power doing things that actually contribute to yourself or your community)

  I can't believe this will be the last convention where I won't believe the things heard but will claim to believe and go along with them anyway because the WT threatens me with shunning if I don't!

  Just can't believe it.

  i was feeling particularly hopeless about the whole jws being assholes thing and sick to death of pretending so ....

  i rang my sister and told her that i no longer believe jws have the truth and the phone went silent, when i asked her to say something she just said if that was the case then she would have to hang up on me and then proceeded to indeed hang up..

  so i texted her back immediately with fu..

  I've decided to go with a total phone/email blackout. Let them jump through the hoops, if they want to see me they are going to have to try a bit harder than that. We shall see.

  Thanks again everyone for the words of encouragement, thoughts on the matter and personal experiences, your individual perspectives are appreciated muchly. xxxxxxxxxxoooooooooo
