While on tour, have a list of questions at the ready.
For example, "is it true that you people once taught that Christ would return in 1874?"
or
"did you teach that the ancient worthies would return to live in a big house called bath sarim?"
etc....

we are so overjoyed with what is happening in the exjw community!
it is places like this forum where many can have a place to interact anonymously and be felt like they are understood.
you guys are awesome!
Yes indeed!
More are awakening than ever before.
In this age of freely available information, ignorance is no longer an excuse. All a witness needs to do is click on a few pages online....and the rest is up to them.....remain ignorant or allow themselves to wake up!

Now if you wanted creepy, then the small tunnels under the Australian bethel are your thing!
They are service tunnels that host piping and wiring etc. they also have paths. but they are just cut into the dirt and are small. They have sections that bethelites over the years have turned into wine cellars and home-brew areas! (Unofficially of course)
my spouse and i have faded 4+ years ago.
we know the jw rumor mill has gotten back to our family that we no longer attend.
most of our family is out of state.
Yep, we have the same situation.
I guess it's a case of "knowledge means they have to DO something about it". So the family members would rather just pretend all is status quo.....and they also live by the mentality of "why let facts get in the way of 'the truth'"?
Its cowardly really.....
in the latest issue of double-speak, i'd like to highlight these two statements:.
page 3, par.
2 - "...how encouraging it is to know that jehovah’s faithful servants in the past felt free to express the same question that may loom in our minds, and they were not condemned for asking it!
What amazing double speak indeed!
i read a fantastic quote that applies to the way the society treats those who choose to leave...:.
"when a toxic person can no longer control you, they will try and control how others see you".
just wanted to share....
Yes, that is a great book Blondie!
