Wow, just don't know what to say to that amazing story as you seem to have said it all.
I'd say good luck but I know JWs don't use the expression so I'll just say may the "blessings" continue.

Out of the world, into the Truth
by apalro infor some background - i studied on & off as a child with a jehovah's witness who has been patiently working on lots of our family for more than a decade and never gave up on any of us.
as a middle-schooler and a highschooler, my love for jehovah and any association with my childhoood bible teacher... faded.
disappeared.

JW/Mormon slogan parallel
by neat blue dog injust came across a meme of the leader of the mormon church (lds) saying "believe, obey and endure".
it just reminded me of the jw mantra "listen, obey and be blessed".
😂.

The red pilled person sees,
Religion : Same shit different assholes. End of.
A blue pilled person sees differently.
In the future big pharma will probably turn religion into a drug.
An advert for a religion drug would probably go something like this in a creepy female cg voice.
Studies have shown that people everywhere want to believe and belong to something greater than themselves. Something that soothes any anxiety or first world guilt about all the suffering in the world. Something that can ease a troubled conscience when you make those embarrassing mistakes. Something that can dispell an existential crisis and give you a sense of community.
Sounds great, right? Well that something is here and on sale all around you and that something is a little blue pill called Religion. Join us in the religion club today.
Religion : You complete me.

Phase one: I started missing every other night meeting then went once a month for while then stopped all night meetings. Phase two was the same process with sunday meetings and FS groups until the only thing I was doing was putting in a fake report for a few months then "forgot" for a couple until the secretary stopped asking.

"exjws" and money making Ponzi schemes.
by Thisismein1972 inok i want to pose a question to those who care to discuss this.. imagine a scenario.
you hear of a exjw writing a book, however, before writing this book this exjw is requesting money to publish said book.
you go along with it and help to get this book out to the public as you think that it will be beneficial.

A "Three-fold cord"?
by stuckinarut2 inwe all know of the well used scripture that speaks of "a three-fold cord" in marriage.. sure, it is meant to indicate that any marriage that has "god" in it as the foundation of the couple's life will be successful.
but how often have we noticed that what it really means for witnesses is that the society, or the gb has the right to be an unwelcome and nosey intruder in the lives of couples.
every decision that family unit makes is influenced by the organisation.

Hmm...
Does it mean three people are bound together by one chord or one person has bound two people together with three chords (kinky btw).

Good points steve2.
Sharpening usually involves subjecting the blade to friction not avoiding it at all costs.

Don't know why but I keep imagining the GB members before going to sleep each night, dressed in satin pyjamas lying in king-size beds with a scotch and a cigar reading The Reluctant Apostate and laughing their asses off.

I would've gone with something like...
The best things in life are free
But you can give them to the birds and bees
I want money (do doo do)
That's what I want...

I bet the GB bought at least seven copies.
I mean, it's only smart to know what your enemies are saying about you, right.
But, hang on a minute the Author went to Warwick and they didn't recognize him. What a shame he could have signed their books.
