this poor girl was baptized at 9yo.
.
she isnt old enough to buy alcohol, to vote, to decide her own medical treatment, to buy a pet, to travel alone... yet she was deemed old enough to dedicate her life to a religion that will cut her off from her family if she ever leaves.. here she is applauded for shunning her own sister who tried to keep in contact with her after waking up.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yzgnfda8ki.
This horrible cult actively trains the "natural affection" out of these people.
The org: If you shun your sister and tell the whole world about it, you can go on the platform at the convention and everyone will clap for you.
Jw: Oooh goodie, I love applause.
the song is supposedly about marveling at god's creation but instead includes over the top adoration of the elders, conventions, and family worship.
lol getting a brother who sounds like a wannabe josh groban only adds to the cheesiness.

That's the half-crazed maniacal cult fake smile smiddy, I'd recognize it anywhere.
Exactly stuck!
it's biggest problems are associated with its lack of genuine love and concern for the rank& file.
the average person doesn't need a food critic to tell them their hamburger is shit, in the same manner the average person can discern kindness and love.
gbs fake love and concern is evident in the way head office deals with victims of sexual abuse by jw clergy.
I agree most JWs do not know or care about doctrinal discrepancies and inconsistencies. This religion has been slowly morphing into a venga bus fake love fest for some time now and if someone feels a part of that they will remain loyal to it unquestioningly.
Gone are the days of the thinking JW that did things on principle and knew their bible and their religions doctrine and were capable of debating it.
Witness 2.0 in 2017 and beyond is ideally for the GB as shallow intellectually as emotionally and leaves the thinking up to the GB and couldn't care less about doctrine or history or Jesus.
the latest research article published at ajwrb estimates the number of jehovah's witnesses who have died from following or being coerced to follow watchtower's blood policy.
the numbers are staggering.

The thing is, religious organizations can get away with a lot more - all in the name of freedom of religion.
The question is why does WT insist on this rule and not just let it be none of their damn business what medical treatments the congregants receive. Why would this issue need to be a do or die deal-breaker for people? The GB could call it all off and call it new light but they don't, why not? There is something more than "bible command" at play here.

crazy kim again....could happen?
thoughts?.
Surely, this is all just posturing on both sides?
Frankly it's hard to take either leader seriously, though, I do believe Trump would act on threats if he feels he has to.
I don't think for one moment any of their stories are real. But, they do seem to be particularly picking on lesbians.
i was recently told this by a jw family member when trying to get through to them.
does this quote indicate that maybe such ones have considered that the jw's may not have the truth after all?
or is that just my wishful thinking?
They only say that "best way to live" crap if they feel safe and sound in the bossom of the congregation and have never felt the pain of a congregation witch hunt, an unkind unjustified character assassination a disfellowshipping or being blanked over something as ridiculous as a hairstyle.
