(Difficult I know) but have you considered just playing along with their delusion by saying what they want to hear and doing a bare minimum until you can leave home?

"Forced" study with an Elder - The first question i will pose, help appreciated.
by CitizenofEarth inhello folks.
as some of you might know my dad couldnt keep quiet about my view of the world, so i have been "forced" to study with an elder.
otherwise i would be dragged to questioning, which is to much pressure for a young inexperienced person like me.

@careful - if they were "running scared" in the 80s then now with the internet "speeding up the work" (lol) of waking people up they must be sh***ing themselves - I hope anyway.

The kings of spin and propoganda explaining propoganda. Good one WT, you've reached a new level of hypocrisy.

They must really be getting worried. While they have always used the "imperfect men" excuse there seems to be a tinge of desperation to it now - or is that my wishful thinking ?
Even if people have no exposure to apostate activism they are still waking up all on their own, WT has to be aware of this trend.
Also, are there even more skeletons in the WT's closet than the stuff like the child abuse, financial schemes, UN etc that we know or suspect?

I don't know what was worse going from D2D and advertising for the borg or having to put up with the brothers and sisters and their "upbuilding convo" as you do it.

Maybe as a homage to Putin sending photos or photoshops of themselves horse riding topless might get them in his goodbooks and he will change his mind.

If anyone wants to find out how much you as a person or your years of service mean to these people just start missing meetings and field service. You are only worth something to them while you are giving. Any christian "love and concern" only went one way - from you to them.
But, that is what bloodsucking cults do they use up people and then discard them. Channel the pain of this knowledge into healing and don't believe them when they treat you like you don't matter because you do and so did your years of sacrifice and service you just won't hear it from them. No gold watch at the end of a theocratic career.
