and what they do with the money they get for the sale of that property.

I find the constant pedantic nit-picking frustrating as well. It's a sign of either a lack of ability or an unwillingness because of bias, to think and sort through concepts and ideas on their own merit and just put aside the ones we don't agree with into either a pending or a discard file in order to grasp the big picture of what is being said.
In the real world no one person, book, movie, video, course etc has all the answers to everything at all times so if you go around dismissing every person or book or movie because their was an error or you didn't like the colour of his jumper or the way he said it your mind will stay permanently closed!
It is possible to get the gist of what someone is saying in its entirety or to understand the message without accepting all of it or the messenger. If we can learn this there isn't anything or anyone we can't learn something from.

That's interesting stuck, good on you for doing this if every XJW in every country did this in an organized, systematic way WT might just begin to worry.

Naked guy answering the door.
Yes a tract burned on the doorstep and the chared remains blowing up the street to where the group had regrouped and a sister insisting it was a demonic attack.
Going witnessing with a sister that had a bird phobia was ...interesting.
Guy telling me I was nothing more than "cannon fodder" to WT - I actually went away and thought about that one in fact it turned out to be a seed of truth that germinated a year or so later, so a big thanks and a shout out to that strange weird little guy!

Prison? I spose it was inevitable really all child stars eventually grow up, rebel, turn to drugs and alcohol and end up getting arrested for DUI.

TD - the op talking about HT but I spose I could see a bizarre version of a puritanical dystopian future if current PC culture and attitudes contuinue to creep into every aspect of life and becomes law?
Not sure what me being a JW has to do with my subjective opinion of a fictional tv series, I assumed this thread was about the parallels between and the literal transformation of America into the reality of HT?

JW Nut Telling His Story Online
by pale.emperor inwhile searching for some jw related stuff online, i stumbled across this page created by a pimi.
his name is steve mcdowell and a watered down version of his story was published in the watchtower https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/wp20150701/bad-to-worse-life-story/.
however, this version, he says, is the full version.
